STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH

A Holiday Mouth
There are tons of members and very few horses in Mouth as this'
was the month of awards/ recognition banquets.
The IHPBEA Awards Banquet
saw many Morgan people getting awards or helping to pass them out. Many of the young people helping to pass out the awards were running barefoot by the time all the awards were presented.
The Morgan youth members dominated the Youth awards taking 3 of 9 youth high points, 2 of 7 lead liners, all of the Morgan Junior Exhibitor and Equitation divisions and many of the other divisions.
She won the Youth High Point Award and was as
pink as her award or as red as the table decorations.
He was a little late to read the results but did a nearly perfect job. There is a picture of the goof and you really want this person as the next President of MVMHC?
After the banquet there was some trading of awards as people got multiple things. One urn is enough for a family as they plan to share one when that time comes.
Where do you not hang a ribbon for the Morgan photo? She thought that it would hide something, but it just made it lower.
How many miles is around trip from Ohio to Illinois (via Memphis), to Seattle, to Portland, to Chicago, and back to Ohio all in a week? Try over 1200 miles by car,
over 3400 miles by air, and heavens only knows how many miles by foot running through airports. On top of all this, he lost his itinerary in route and didn't know where he was to go so was Sleepless in Seattle. At the airport in Seattle late Saturday night he picked up a newspaper to read and almost died. He had Sunday's paper so thought he was day late. It was the early edition.
The November Banquet saw 40 people pig out. No one wanted to be a real hog so hung back from going for seconds until the speaker did, but then he hadn't eaten since Saturday morning. Two other people hadn't eaten since 9 AM. Once the first person went back for seconds nearly everyone else did too. One growing youth went back for at least 3rds if not 4ths. This Club created a new motto of "food, FOOD, gossip and more food.
Two long time buddies spent most of their time gossiping and complaining that the flash almost burned their eyes out.
When not eating or gossiping there was some campaigning as people were sporting "Randall for President" buttons. One comment overheard was he
running for a local job or a National one? Many people felt that he would be a better choice for the National job.
When the meeting started we had to take a time out so the secretary could get paper and a pen. Then it was time in. When the slate of officers was read twice, the same person was missed as a Director. How she missed him is beyond reason as he was sitting less than six feet from her. Everyone was urged to vote early and often.
The fountain in the room made dripping noises all though dinner, the meeting and half of the talk. One person finally turned the thing off and it promptly let out an obscene comment that sounded like a major gas explosion. At first everyone thought that someone in the room had really enjoyed the meal.
Finally from the November meeting our speaker explained why the simulator horses cost 25 cents a ride. Partly as a way of timing the rides and partly so people could joke about them being "quarter" horses.
