FARM NEWS most times they want you to repeat a movement 30-50 times so it gets ingrained in their minds. With Scotty, it just didn‘t take that long. He was so into playing the games that he got bored if we did them too many times, and he anticipated the moves so we had to keep changing! He was so funny; we actually had to stay on our toes, because he kept figuring things out. It was so nice to have hands on training in how to train. So much better than just watching, and listening, and even repeating DVD‘s over and over. They were both great teachers. We did the game with the plastic bag at the end of the whip, to desensitize him, and he did that fine, in no time flat. Both Rex and Cari really loved Scotty; kept asking what breed he was, what do Morabs ―DO‖ (meaning disciplines) and what did we want to do with him, oh, and, ―Is he for Freedom Stars n Stripes with Karen Peterson. sale, and what do you want for him?‖ All the people at the Horse Park were complimenting me on him too, telling me how gorgeous he was! Well, we thought so, but it‘s so nice to hear from others. We were so happy that our baby made such a big splash in his first outing, and that these professional horse people were pretty pleased with him as well. Cari emailed me the following day to again ask what we wanted to do with him, and what price we would put on him. For more information on Rex Peterson and his training methods, you can see his website at www.SwansonPetersonProductions.com I highly recommend these nice knowledgeable folks. We were also blessed with having lots of kids enter our 4H program this past fall. We have 27 Freedom Riders signed up here at the farm, and they are all enjoying riding and participating in our programs. I was hoping to encourage some of them to participate in our Morab Youth programs this year. We even have a few handicapped riders now coming to the farm for lessons with our wonderful teacher, Regina. I am hoping to make a connection with the fort near us for enrolling some service families in the Heros to Horses program as well. Things are working well. At this time, we‘d like to offer both our stallions for sale or lease. Freedom‘s Patriot in Blue is our cremello stallion, who guarantees color out of non-gray mares. Freedom‘s Stars and Stripes, shown here in photos, is our palomino stallion, with four high white stockings and a white blaze, mane down to his shoulder. Horses would be sold private treaty. All reasonable offers would be considered. Can also be purchased as geldings. Next year will be the first year we‘re having foals in five years. We look forward to our crop of new Morab and Half-Morab babies. Any inquiries on using either of our Morab stallions for stud, please get in touch with me. See our ad in this issue for further information.
Jericho Creek West Lincoln, California By Carolyn Harris We are very fortunate to have two Morab foals from our palomino Morgan stallion, JCW Rev‘s Cajun Sundancer, born this year. In June our Arabian mare, Winds of Glory, had a beautiful chestnut filly. Her name is JCW Caress the Wind. Then in July, the Morab mare, Jericho‘s Royal Ashlin, had a palomino filly, named Jericho‘s Royal Sundancer. Ashley was leased by Cindy Baxter to produce a foal. This was the first time Ashley was bred to Sundancer and we are very pleased with the results. JCW Caress the Wind has two other palomino full siblings here at our farm in California: JCW Changing Winds and JCW Sundance of Glory. Jericho’s Royal Sundancer, Morab Filly

I traveled to Wisconsin and attended the IMBA Region 4 Show in August. I enjoyed it very much! It was fun to see all the Morab people and horses there after being away from it for the past three years. JCW Caress the Wind, Morab Filly.
