An American Legacy - The Morgan Horse

Dwayne Knowles, our illustrious main ring Judge
Thank you Dwayne, for all the personal touches you added
to our show and for always being so personable & professional.

The Oregon Morgan Classic was held June 20-23, 2018 and was a big success!
What a fun show!
Our numbers were good (over 100 Morgans & over 30 Saddlebreds), and the show was loaded with fun events
and good food.
Thank you to our volunteers who all helped in putting on the show, our sponsors, horse owners & trainers, and those who came as exhibitors or just to watch. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and how wonderful it was to see so many people in the stands!
Special thanks goes to our wonderful staff & volunteers -
and to Nancy Eidam as our Show Chair!
They were
all
truly amazing!
Nancy, thank you for all your hard work. Your leadership &
contributions to the show will be felt for many years to come.
Thank you so much!
This year we added American Saddlebred horses to our show, and I hope we made all their owners and exhibitors feel welcome. This is a change we have been discussing for several years. We have already received inquiries from Saddlebred owners asking if we will include them again next year. Our hope is that those who came enjoyed the show and will spread the word so we will see even more of them next year.
From Nancy Eidam

A special appreciation to our show secretary

in the office who not only was superb at her job but greeted everyone with a smile and all the answers they needed. Our new Paddock Manager,
Sara Stubbs
was also superb and kept the show running smoothly.
Pam Sandberg,
our announcer and
Cheryl Culwell
, our Ring Steward did their usual expert jobs. Our USEF Steward,
Nancy Harvey
was unobtrusively everywhere doing a great job as always.
Kyla and Kevin

If we missed getting your name listed, please know how much everyone's efforts were appreciated. This show was a wonderful "team" success event.
Thank you to one and all!
Winner of the Professional Incentive Bonus was Diane Pixlee
She was there with 5 horses to show, broke her wrist/arm before the show began, and ran the Youth of the Year program. She really stepped up to the challenge, and then won the incentive bonus from the show.
Hooray!
Winner of the Owners Incentive Bonus was Sierra Breckinridge
Another worthy winner who does so much promoting Morgans and MHAO.
The Breckenridge family goes all out to help with the show including handling all the setup for the dressage arena and making sure the show trailers get to the show grounds. Thank you so much, and
Congratulations!
OMC was a great show this year with a full stabling area and some very full classes. The Saddlebreds were a delightful addition to the show. Everyone had a great time with lots of fun in the extra activities. Entries were represented from
Oregon, California, Washington, British Columbia, Idaho, and Montana.
The quality of horses and riders was top level. Several sessions found appreciative spectators filling the grandstand.
This years show reached the goal of a family friendly, inclusive,
and very fun show.
Mark your 2019 calendar for June 19-22, 2019 at Oregon Horse Center for a bigger and better
Oregon Morgan Classic
for Morgans and Saddlebreds.
A BIG
