We also have scheduled a horsemanship clinic for May 6, 10:00. Some of the things we will cover is proper saddle
fit, perfecting those "pesky" circles, obtaining a better seat (especially at the trot), among others. We will also
have our popular Riders' Challenges! We have already started obtaining some of the prizes! The participation fee
is only $20.00 to bring your own horse, or send an extra $10.00 nonrefundable deposit and ride one of our horses! For
more information or to sign up contact Crystal Bowser at minimorgans@msn.com or call 785-729-3378.
Can you believe we have a new horse? I know, I know, when will we ever stop getting more?! Horses are definately
my weak spot. Anyways, our new addition is Miss Aztec, A.K.A. Dixie, is a 21 year old Quarter Horse mare. We have
started using her in lessons, but we have some work to do as she seems to get spooky when in new places and situations.
She puts us up to 12 horses, and yes, my husband caught me recently drooling over horses on the internet and local horse sales
recently! You would think he'ld learn to keep me away from them!

Dapples, bays, pintos, grays........what will it be? That's just one of the questions on mare owners' minds this
time of year. Of course, everyone also has played the ever popular guessing game of colt or filly?? Some people
even go as far as to use old wives' tails to find out early. I myself, am finding myself wondering if we will have colts
or fillies, and picturing what each one will look like right down to the last hair. It's fun, yes, but can lead to both
pleasure and disappointment when the day finally comes. Our first foal is due at the end of March out of Cherry, the
Appaloosa. She was bred by our Paint stallion, Continental Rocket, and as you can imagine, our minds are filled with
pictures of spots and splotches! We hope everyone is enjoying their anticipation of becoming new "horsie" parents!
We've been enjoying having such a mild winter so far, and it is very encouraging to know that spring isn't far off.
Riding lessons have continued through the winter, and we look forward to giving more this summer. Make sure to sign
up early to get the best days/times!
