C
ROWN ZODIAC
(Minion Valentino x TMR Signature)
is an 11 yr old dark rich bay 15.1 hand sharp eared mare who is a half sister to Minion Millenium. She was retained for the broodmare band but was never trained or bred. She has a terrific temperament, good thinker, and friendly. Would make outstanding Hunter Pleasure or Dressage prospect. Zoe has incredible extension and suspension at the trot. A powerful, cadenced mover.
CROWN DECORUM
(Triflik Protocol x Mantic Corrine)
13yr old 14.3 hands rich red bay with three white socks and white strip on face. Cora was a phenomenal In-Hand winner as a weanling, yearling, and two-yr-old including Regional titles. She was also the Saddle Horse Report National Champion In Hand mare at two. This is a fancy, friendly mare that gets along well with people and other horses. She has had one foal, a talented bay colt. Cora had basic ground training when she was young. This is a sporty mare that could definitely be trained for the show ring or raise a sharp foal for you.
CROWN LEGACY (Crown Superlative x Equinox Georgette
) 9- yr-old 15 hand copper chestnut mare with some lighter shade in mane. Extremely nice head and eye with fine throat latch. This mare is very special to me as she was bottle raised (she prefers people and wants to be a lap dog) so she needs a special loving home with someone who wants that personal connection with a Morgan. She is not trained but would make an exquisite ladies or girls western pleasure show horse.
Nancy Eidam - (541) 561-6644
ALSO OFFERED BY CROWN MORGANS
TREBLES TALQA
(Tug Hill Whamunition x Liberation Leading Lady). Awesome delux pedigree Bay with white trim 2004 mare. Originally trained to ride and drive. Fabulous trot and lots of presence.

Package deal at $5,000. or will sell separately.
CROWN MAGIC
(Pardon My French x Mantic Catalina) Beautiful 16 yr old bay mare that has a pedigree that guarantees Morgan type. This has been one of my all time favorite production mares. She is extreme Morgan type, wonderful temperament, gentle, easy to foal, superb mother, and so easy to have around. She has had four outstanding winning bay colts. If you have always wanted to have that special beautiful faced typy baby, this mare is for you She could pay for herself with one foal. She comes with a future breeding to MSV Shooting Star ($1500. Value).
Magic is priced at $4,500.

Very Important!
US Equestrian Announces New Safe Sport Training Requirements
|
|
On August 27, 2018, the US Equestrian Board of Directors approved a rule change requiring that
effective January 1, 2019
, all US Equestrian (USEF) adult members with a Competing Membership must complete USEF’s Safe Sport Training in order to be eligible to participate in USEF activities. Members can immediately access the free Safe Sport Training directly through their member dashboard or can click
here
to learn more.
We encourage members to complete the training as soon as possible. US Equestrian President Murray Kessler stated, “I am very proud of the work done in drafting this proposal and the Board of Directors which approved this critical rule designed to keep our children safe while they enjoy, excel, and advance in our sport.”
The rule has three main requirements. Sections 1 and 2 are already in effect and Section 3 has been added:
1.
Every USEF member and Federation Participant* shall abide by USEF’s Safe Sport Policy and the U.S. Center for SafeSport Code of Conduct. *As described by the USEF Safe Sport Policy, a Federation Participant is any USEF member or non-member, who participates in, or attends a USEF-licensed competition or sanctioned event.
2.
In order to comply with S. 534, the Protecting Young Victim’s from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017, the USEF Safe Sport Policy, and the Center’s SafeSport Code of Conduct, every USEF adult member and USEF participant, with the exception of the victim, is required to report suspected sexual misconduct within 24 hours to the appropriate authorities and to the U.S. Center for SafeSport.
3.
Beginning January 1, 2019,
every USEF adult member with a Competing Membership must complete USEF’s Safe Sport Training, as approved by the U.S. Center for SafeSport (the Center).
A 30-day grace period to complete the awareness training will be provided to all members who renew or join on or after December 1, 2018. Members joining prior to December 1, 2018 will have until January 1, 2019 to complete the training. Those who do not complete the training within the grace period will be ineligible to participate in USEF activities, including competitions.
The Safe Sport Policy and the rules that govern it have been created to protect all athletes from misconduct within the sport. This new rule is consistent with our efforts to ensure the safety and welfare of equestrian participants, especially minors. Education and training everyone is crucial to protecting athletes and eradicating abuse in our sport.
Additional information and resources on Safe Sport, how to report sexual and non-sexual misconduct, access to a free training module for parents of equestrian athletes, a Safe Sport FAQ, the Safe Sport Sanction list and more can be found

All Ears: Caring for Your Horse’s Ears
by Margaret Buranen
|
|
Mother Nature designed horses’ ears to be pretty much self-cleaning. She worked on the principle of preventing a problem, rather than correcting it.
“In most situations, the normal amount of hair a horse has in its ears keeps debris out and the ears stay clean,” explained Dr. Nimet Browne of
Hagyard Equine Medical Institute
, in Lexington, Ky.
But if you do clean your horse’s ears, Browne recommends doing it “not more often than once a week. Use a damp [not dripping] towel, paper towel, or wash cloth. You can use witch hazel or warm water, but not alcohol—it can be irritating or drying.
“You don’t ever want to spray water or anything else into a horse’s ear,” she cautioned. “You definitely want to avoid pushing anything deep down into the ear canal.”
If hair falls down into the horse’s ear while he is being clipped, Browne says the horse should be able to get most of it out by shaking his head. You can use a damp towel to gently remove the rest of the hair.
For dirt around the outside of the ears or barely inside of them, Browne says that using any product made for dogs or cats, wiped on a cloth, should also be safe for a horse.
Infections and Growths
Ear infections can be frequent for dogs, cats, and small children, but, fortunately, they are “pretty uncommon” for horses, Browne said. However, horses can develop growths on their ears: sarcoids (usually benign skin tumors that can be invasive), tumors, and aural plaques that look like black or white cauliflower.
These growths can be painful, and they can cause an infection if the horse can’t clear his ears by shaking his head.
Physical signs of an infection include a discharge or foul odor coming from the ear. Indications from a horse’s behavior can also include shaking his head excessively, tilting his head, and shying away if he is touched near his ears.
An infection in the guttural pouches or inner ear may be indicated by a nasal discharge or swelling in the throatlatch area as well as a head tilt. If any of these signs appear, call your veterinarian, as they can be serious.
Seasonal Issues
Bites from flies and other insects also can result in infections. Browne notes that, although it hasn’t been proven, evidence suggests that aural plaques caused by the papilloma virus may be spread from horse to horse by blackflies. To help prevent this, she recommends using fly masks that cover the ears.
“If a fly mask gets wet or dirty, change it,” she said. “Take it off at least once a day to look at the horse’s eyes and ears.”
Another solution: fly spray.
To apply it to a horse’s ears, spray it on a towel, then wipe the towel around the base of the ears, the external ear, and barely inside, Browne says.
It’s also important to check your horse’s ears regularly for ticks and ear mites, if you are in an area where these are a problem. Ear mites, in particular, can be so small they are hard to see, but typically a horse will be shaking his head to stop the itching they cause. Another sign: crusty scabs that ooze fluid.
“Ear mite bites can look very similar to fly bites,” Browne said.
Seasonal weather can cause problems for some horses’ ears;
white horses with pink skin can get sunburned around their ears, for example, although the upright position of the ears and the hair covering the outside surface usually protects the skin. Browne suggested applying a thin layer of children’s sunscreen on the upper inside of the ears if needed.
“In very cold weather, ears are predisposed to frostbite,” Browne added. Frostbitten skin looks very pale compared to surrounding normal skin. “I recommend bringing horses inside then, if possible. If that’s not possible, then providing some shelter they can get into [in the pasture] is a good idea. If the horse is wearing a blanket, add a head piece.”
Deafness: Rare but Possible
Deafness in horses is very uncommon, but it can result from some infections or toxicity from medications, and some can have a genetic predisposition for it.
“Splash paints—those with a lot of white on their faces and legs and on their bellies—and blue eyes are a color combination that may be deaf,” Browne explained.
Some horses are bothered by loud sounds, such as machinery or fireworks during Fourth of July celebrations. Browne suggested using ear plugs on these horses. If the owner knows ahead of time that a horse is very sensitive to loud noise, then it may be appropriate to seek a veterinarian’s advice on strategies for helping. Management techniques can also mitigate the problem.
“Have the horse where he feels more comfortable,” Browne suggested. “It might be in the barn, next to another horse. There’s less risk of horses hurting themselves inside the barn, but if he’s freaking out in the barn, put him in a small paddock next to another horse.”
As for noises during shows and competitions, Browne says ear plugs or bonnets to muffle sound are fine for horses to wear—just be sure that ear bonnets or ear plugs are allowed under the
competition rules
and understand any specifications that might apply. “Keep them clean and dry and remove them when they are not needed,” Browne said.
“Caring for your horse’s ears is usually a matter of ‘less is more,’” Browne advised. “Don’t force a horse to have his ears cleaned. Gentle handling is best. Desensitize the horse from an early age to clippers and having his ears touched. Check his ears daily and call your veterinarian if you see signs of a problem.”
