You don't have to be a Morgan enthusiast to want to rein in your family and canter over to any of the Celebrate the Morgan events, which last year were held in over 30 states across the country.
This year, September 11-15, Morgan enthusiasts and clubs from across the country will host open-house events, trail rides, rider exhibitions, breed demonstrations and training events that will showcase this wonder breed and its rich history. Interestingly, Morgans were the favored mount by cavalry soldiers in the Civil War. They could march tirelessly all day and were loyal to their riders in all circumstances.
In addition, famed Morgan horse Sante Fe Renegade and his owner, the well-known horse breeder and dressage competitor Eitan Beth-Halachmy, will be featured in the closing ceremonies of the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany.
Morgan enthusiasts, breeders, handlers and equestrians are also preparing for the 2006 Grand National & World Championship Morgan Horse Show to be held October 7-14 in Oklahoma City.
