HHF Volunteers Needed

Just like last year, IMHC will be distributing literature and spreading our love of

Morgans from our stall display in the Breed Demonstration barn. The club will need

help with setup and tear down as well as manning the area throughout the weekend

(April 1-3) and particularly while our breed demonstration horses are performing.

Contact Bill Jacobsen at 317-769-6612 or [email protected] to volunteer!

Check out Breed Demonstration and Stallion Row

We will have Leah Borders and Let’s Get Byzy representing the Morgan in the daily

breed demonstration doing hunter and jumping. Donna Zimmerman and her stallion

will be showing off their stuff in the Stallion Row area. We know both of these

ladies like to chat so make sure you come visit them stall side!

Get Social (and Breakfast)

Stop by the IMHC display located with the breed demonstration stabling to visit with

club members and enjoy some breakfast snacks and coffee.

Take a minute to notice our new stall curtains, courtesy of a Breed Promotion Grant

from AMHA. The Board felt applying for this grant for this purpose was an

opportunity for our club to stretch our available funding further into the coming

years while increasing the quality and reach of our presence at this event. We would

wanted to invest in supplies to create a clean, professional, attractive booth and stall

area and to provide a welcoming area for the Indiana Morgan community to

volunteer at the HHF&E and improving interactions with HHF attendees! Be sure to

let us know what you think :)

IMHC Financial Statement

(Per Club By-Laws, the Club shall have the financial statement appear in the

newsletter at least once quarterly, in addition to posting at regular meetings.)

Biomechanics

Clinic Saturday, May 14, 2016

Instructed by USDF Bronze Medalist

Cheryl Hollis

Wheatfield, IN

No matter what discipline you ride,

these techniques will help you rider

more effectively with less work. Cheryl

has helped western, saddleseat, hunt

and dressage riders to be more effective

and get better results. She trains with J.

Ashton Moore of California, an

International Judge and clinician.

Cheryl is back by popular demand after

last year’s clinic at Linda Laud’s farm.

It was a fun, educational day last year

and all who attended agreed there was a

lot more to cover and took away great

information to apply to their riding.

Clinic starts at 10am CST/11am

EST. There will be lecture first, then

first rider. Pitch in lunch to follow,

everyone please bring dish to share and

your favorite drink. Linda will provide

bottled water and meat.) After lunch,

rest of rides will go. Bring lawn chairs.

If you would like to attend as a rider,

please contact Linda as soon as possible

to reserve your spot. All others

interested in attending to audit and

socials should also rsvp prior to May 1.

You can reach Linda by phone (219)

956- 2473 or email

The Whinny:

Rockview Remington: 1983-2016

We all have those horses that just

aren’t replaceable and Remi was one

the Hicks family was lucky to have for

over 25 years.

Sharon and Dave Hicks purchased him

as a 6 year old in the late 80’s for their

kids, Chris and Sara. Both kids showed

him in nearly every division at 4-H

shows up to the Grand National. More

recently, his most important jobs were

getting love and attention from Chris’s

kids, Isabella and Rex, and keeping

Sharon busy taking great care of this

old man.

His spunky personality and deep whiny

are deeply missed around the barn!

Trail Riding

Sue Hansen is already getting out and

enjoying the nice weather! Sue and her

horse Cali are pictured left on a trail ride

at Salamonie State Park.

Figure & Sons" Available Online If you are an avid follower of the history of the Morgan breed, prepare to be dazzled with a free

offering of some amazing reading. Starting in the January 2015 issue of The Morgan Horse and

continuing into January 2016, Morgan historian Brenda Tippin has authored a series of articles on

the genesis of our breed. The series features a look at Justin Morgan himself followed by separate

articles (with as many as 7500 to 10,000 words per article) on the prominent sons Woodbury,

Bulrush, and Sherman and on the lesser known sons. Due to the buzz the series has generated and

as a service to the Morgan public, we are posting the "Figure & Sons" articles on the AMHA

website where any and all may enjoy the content. Go to morganhorse.com/about/breed-

magazine/figure-sons. If you have missed reading these articles in print we strongly urge you to

subscribe to The Morgan Horse so you don’t miss out on anymore of the diverse equine journalism

practiced at the official breed journal. To subscribe go to morganhorse.com/about/breed-

magazine/subscribe.

AMHECT Establishes Harry Sebring Memorial Grant

The American Morgan Horse Educational Charitable Trust is pleased to announce the

establishment of the Harry Sebring Memorial Grant. Harry was a renowned Morgan horse trainer

and the grant was created by his family in his memory, since he always wanted to see young adults

excel personally and professionally in the show ring. The grant is offered to young adults (under

age 40) who are AMHA members and would like to further his or her equine education, skills, or

proficiency and/or to provide equine-related experiences and education that will further the

recipient's business endeavors. The application must be accompanied by a full proposal of the idea,

budget details, and proof of any materials that will be used to promote the event and/or program.

AMHECT will award up to a total of $5,000 each year and will consider grants of all sizes. Checks

may not be made payable to the individual, but to the clinician, institution, or business providing

the services. The grant application period opens Friday, January 1, 2016 and closes at 5 p.m.

on Thursday, March 31, 2016. Inquiries about grant applications or the grant process are handled

only by emailing [email protected] with any questions or comments.
