14/ JULY 2010 THE RIDER At Lindsay All About Horses, Team Morgan was there!
On June 5-6th, Team Morgan was partici- pating in the Lindsay All About Horses expo which is held on the new Lindsay Fairgrounds. This was the second event and the Ontario Mor- gan Horse Club voted once again to support this event with their promotional booth and live horse demos.
A big thank you to Sheila McNaughton for chairing team Morgan and to Amanda McKill for setting up and taking down the beautiful new
booth that the OMHC is so fortunate to have for events such as this. The big black booth with the big photos provides an inviting back drop for guests to admire. There were plenty of OMHC newsletters and sales hotlines available and plenty of Canadian Morgan Magazines and colour brochures to hand out. For the kids, we passed out CMHA Youth Activity books which are a great educational giveaway.
On Saturday, Kelly Pilgrim and her hus-
band Dustin Hosier drove in from Beaver- ton with their gorgeous stallion Wintop’s Main Pepper (aka Quentin) for the Morgan demo. Kelly’s thoughts for the day “Satur- day for us ended up a great day. Quentin was just a pleasure.”
Quentin was a great ambassador for the breed. He had quite a bit of attention in the barn with everyone walking through. He was so well behaved people couldn’t believe he was a stallion. He had kids and parents coming up and petting him all day. He really enjoyed all the attention and did two demos that day and performed great. Quentin was shown in hunt attire for his demo and participated in the Parade of Champions. This was his first time per- forming off the farm this year and he did the demos without a foot out of place. All in all it was a great day!
On Sunday, Nancy Kavanagh and her son David from Port Perry took their 3 year old geld- ing Cyan Star Trinity (aka Jordan) for the Morgan demo. Sunday morning dawned cold and wet and we were unhappy about performing in the rain but we needn’t worry about it; the sun came out by noon and all was just fine. David and I put Jordan in his stall and after he settled down from the excitement, he mellowed right out and enjoyed the attention. The demo times were re-arranged slightly due to the weather and everyone per- formed in the show arena before a capacity crowd which was terrific. David warmed up Jordan on the track and then bravely jogged into the arena full of people, flower pots and white rails. This was also Jordan’s first time under saddle off the farm and with only 60 days saddle work, he did
an amazing job. Friends of ours stood out in the crowd and listened to the comments: “Noble, magnificent and well balanced” is what they heard!
The promo booth was manned on Saturday by myself and Sherri Wilson and on Sunday, Sheila McNaughton and Sandra McGinty along with her daughter Lauren held down the fort. The traffic was decent and we are pleased to have made contact with Morgan owners/admirers that didn’t know about the club.
For anyone that is interested in seeing Mor- gans perform, our 43rd Annual Morgan Champi- onship Classic show will be held on July 17-18 at RCRA in Newmarket. You can contact me at 905-985-0691 or

The Al Humphrey Memorial Ride, in honor of Allan Stewart Humphrey (October 10, 1932 – February 2, 2006,) or as he was known to most “Al” of Al’s Tack Shop, provides an opportunity for the horse community at large to make a positive contribution to the lives of others by raising funds for deserving non-profit organizations. During his life- time Al gave selflessly in support of many deserving organizations and charities. It is in this spirit that the Al Humphrey Memorial Ride has been established. Recipient chari- ties and/or organizations are named on an annual basis.
