The Spirit of the American Morgan Horse
Thoroughbred Park
Man O' War, sire of Triple Crown Winner War Admiral, also memorialized here.
This summer, as in most horse show seasons for us, it is all about feeding our passion for the glorious four-legged creatures & finding a way to manage: stabling, traveling, training & feeding-yet still finding a way to "manage the store" that is, our family businesses.
Fortunately, we have an awesome, talented trainer who takes care of the "ponies" & we are learning from our teenager that it is truly not the trophy, but the race.
This means making family vacations of horse shows- we wouldn't trade these adventures for anything!
For my part, I will "work for feed"
This week I am doing custom sewing of "designer" ladies hunt show shirts! I made a pattern-first for my daughter, then for several others and got to work.
By adding special touches not usually found in off-the-rack shirts, even most custom shirts, such as piping, elegant monograms and new collar shapes, things are hopping in the order department!
Anything to feed the horse habit!!
