Morgan club members have a great time showing their horses off to the public in parades. Below are Katie Frazee on Mallory and Erica Frazee on April ready to step on down the street.

IMHC Members lead the way to victory for the Red Hats and Purple Chaps Parade unit at the Peru Circus City Festival Parade. "Queen" Jane Howard, Cheryl Royer, and Sandy White dressed in their Red Hat finery and on matched Bay Morgans help sway the judges to award the group 1st place in the equestrian division for the second year in a row. Girls just want to have fun!

Gold Cup - The club was well represented at the Gold Cup Regional Morgan Horse show this year. Some of the members were kind enough to share their experiences....
From the Frazees'... Erica did not win the Youth of the Year :( She did get 3rd place and it was a HUGE competition this year. We're going to try at Buckeye in August.

From the Laud's... Showing in Dressage - Rocky got a 5th, 8th and a 1st. His last class was the best, as he was more relaxed and didn't SPOOK at the Judge sitting at the table @ C. I (Linda) didn't ride him, my girlfriends daughter (Kristin Haas from Fair Oaks IN) did. I have rode him 3 times since the accident. [If you're interested in a nice dressage horse, Linda indicated Rocky is for sale -- webmaster].

Trail Riders... These are some pics from the Stewart and Frazee families trip to Wilstem Ranch around Paoli, IN. We went with Stewart's church group to this lovely getaway.

Other Show Results...
Outback's Moonshadow continued to add to his combined driving AMHA medallion points with another excellent showing at the Metamora CDE in Michigan. In fact he won his Training-Single Horse division and was the Reserve Champion Training level horse. How could he lose though, with a trio of ladies tending to him. Whip, Sandy White, steered him through dressage, cones & the marathon. Sue Hansen was the trusty navigator, ensuring we didn't get lost and Carolyn Stanger lent her expertise throughout the weekend. Shadow, Carolyn and Sandy will next tackle the Prelim course at the Iron Horse CDE near Rockford IL in early August.

A successful first Preliminary CDE completion for Team Sasnak (Sandy & Carolyn & Shadow) at the Iron Horse CDE. The trio garnered a 5th place overall finish against a pretty experienced field. Below - having fun in the water hazard...
