JANUARY 19, 2013-

We can't wait to see what this combination of the lines of two major European breeders will produce.

Article in Cheval Magazine-
The French horse monthly "Cheval Magazine" did a piece on the Morgan in their breed discovery section. Expat Morgan was mentioned as the only French
breeder and a reference breeder in Europe. The journalist came for a visit at our stud and was dazzled by the Morgans.
The article was an unconditional endorsement of the breed.
Article in Cheval Pratique-
In their July 2012 edition, French month "Cheval Pratique" did an in depth article about the Morgan breed. Anne was quoted in the article. We got numerous enquiries and visits to the stud from people who wanted to know more about this "American Icon" as the journalist described the Morgan. We can safely say that a few more French people have become Morgan fans.
Summer Clinic at Expat Morgans-
Gertrud Henricks was the clinician for the 2012 Expat Morgan Summer Clinic.
She worked with 8 motivated riders on a wide range of topics: in hand presentation, long lining, saddle seat
and equitation. We all learned a lot and thank her very much for her help.
Congratulations to Armelle and Caroline.
Their Appaloosa cross mares are confirmed in foal to Expat's Regimental Colors and Expat's Commodore
JPJones respectively. We hope they get the lovely spotted babies they wish for.
BMHS Western Region Show-
For the first time Team Expat Morgans participated in the BMHS Western Region Show at
Monnington Court (Hereford). Expat's Regimental Colors, Expat's Charlie's Company, Expat's Cassandra,
Expat's Commodore JPJones and Expat's Siren Song brought some international flavour to the event.
Our crew did us proud with wins in the Stallion In Hand, Yearlings in Hand and In hand Trail Classes.
We demonstrated true Morgan versatility with ribbons in different divisions: In Hand, Trail , Hunter, Road Hack, Sport Horse and Dressage.
Congratulations to Edelhof Morgans-
We are very happy to announce that Expat's Lead From the Front, Edelhof's Senior Stallion, get won the under 3 mare class, the under 3 stallion class as well as the Reserve Junior Mare and Junior Stallion Champion titles at the DMHA 2012 show. Edelhof's Black Edition (2012 colt by Expat's Lead From the Front) was graded a
"premium" foal at the Hessen Pony Club Show. Congratulations Eva and family!
First French Morgan Horse Show-
On 21 & 22 July we organized the First French Morgan Horse Show at our stud. The weather was perfect, enthusiastic spectators turned up, 35 horses were shown and Gertrud was a great (and patient) judge. We made new friends, had big BBQs,
rode to win and are looking forward to doing it all again next year! Click

Equirando 2012-
Equirando is the largest Trail Riders meeting in Europe. The event took place the last weekend of July at the haras du Pin in Normandy.
Team Expat Morgans was there with Tosca (8), Superstar (3), Gracie (3), Clancy (12), Bailey (12), Cass (4) and Bellini (4). For the 2012
edition there were more than 800 horses in 45 teams from 9 countries. The parade was more than 8 km long. We had a lovely weekend, a great race
on the Allee du Roi (someplace I have wanted to gallop ever since we moved to Normandy) and, as usual, the horses advertised themselves.
People could not believe that young horses could be so confident,
easy and well behaved (it doesn't hurt that they are gorgeous too).
Randonnee de la Paix 2012-
As part of their preparation for Equirando 2012, Team Expat Morgan Morgans participated in the Randonnee de la Paix in Caen. This yearly event brings together not only riders and carriage drivers but also people on foot, on bicycles and on roller-skates. Several itineraries are offered with a 30 km loop for the riders and drivers. At the end of the day all participants arrive at the Peace Memorial in Caen. We took 5 horses and had a great ride, especially along D-day Juno beach. Once again
the Morgans were much admired and praised.

Star of London show-
This year was our first participation at the Star of London show in Pachesham Equestrian Centre Surrey, England. The morning was very wet but spirits were up and we all soldiered on. The afternoon was gloriously sunny and perfect for the ridden classes. We met other Morgan owners and riders and very much enjoyed this well organized friendly show. Of course, we were pleased with our horses and the ribbons they won. We are looking forward to the 2013 Edition.

(Belgium) on 27 February 2010. Spectators were able to see first hand
the versatility of the Morgan horse with exhibitions in-hand, under
western saddle, over jumps, and of course in English Pleasure. Ancan
Kodachrome was shown in hand and over jumps.
