Tim Morrell of Moreland Farm was spotted out on the town on Friday night with his family.  Though he wasn’t dancing, he looked every bit the part of the Oklahoma cowboy.
 

Harry and the Lashwhips put on a fabulous performance last night at the Welcome to Oklahoma party in Ring 1.  A large crowd turned out for the party, which featured a catered dinner, wine and beer, and of course dancing to the Morgan breed’s favorite, most popular band.
 

Club Rodeo’s bull riding got rough last night with one cowboy being taken away from the ring unconscious after being stepped on by a bull.  The next bull riding takes place on Friday.
 

Dressage continues today in Show Arena 9, with the Musical Freestyle at the end of the session.  Stop by Show Arena 6 after 7pm to see the Carriage Pleasure Driving Working division.

Youth Judging Contest Horses Needed

The Youth Horse Judging Contest is still in need of horses to use Friday morning, October 13.  There will be over 100 youth from College, FFA, 4-H and AMHA Youth teams across the country. We want to offer them a great contest filled with a nice variety of classes.  This is a great promotional opportunity for the Morgan breed, as well as a fantastic tool to help future judges develop their skills.  We are still looking for horses to fill the following classes: Mares In Hand, Pleasure/Classic Pleasure Driving, English/Classic Pleasure Saddle, or Equitation. If you are willing to help us out and enter your Morgan please see: Joyce Ackerman Burroughs or Erica Richard. Joyce can be reached at : 716.560.7883.
