Dear North Star Exhibitors;

When you receive this prize list, most likely the ground will be covered with snow and trudging to the barn and chopping ice in water buckets is part of your day. As you look upon that fuzzy creature with a bridle path that sticks up three inches, do you wonder if he will ever be the same horse as he was last August?

But, as you trudge and chop and shiver, do you ‘horse show dream’? "This will be the year. I’ll not miss one lead. My horse will stay on the rail and never shy at the piece of odd-shaped shavings on the ground in the ring. I will remember each and every piece of equipment necessary. My truck and trailer will not break down. My riders and horses will perform to a perfection never before seen in Minnesota." Yes, the winter horse show dreams are a part of showing and, in dreaming, we make some of them so.

Think ahead to the summer--warm sun, the salty smell of horses after a good ride and, of course, the one and only North Star Morgan Americana Morgan Horse Show. Our winter dreaming involves planning parties, class schedules, hotels, contracts and all the parts that go together to make a show happen.

We have worked hard to make our show as trainer, exhibitor, and family friendly as we can. Check out the Activities Page and see what fun things are planned. Look at the new classes we have added. Check out the changes we have made for this year.

…And keep winter horse show dreaming---oh the things we will do, the times we will have.

May all your winter horse show dreams come true.

Sincerely,

Mary Todd Kaercher Sarah Moses

Carriage Driving Clinic

Our judge for the Carriage Division is Bill Long of Southern Pines, North Carolina. Bill is probably the most successful American driver in international Four-in-Hand competition. He is unquestionably one of the living legends of American Combined Driving and a valued ambassador for the sport and USET. In addition to having been selected to compete in the 1984, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994 and 2000 World Championships, he was also the first American-trained driver to win the Royal Windsor Driving Grand Prix in England and was the 1989 recipient of the USET Whitney Stone Cup.

A horse trainer born in Ottawa, Canada, Bill moved with his family to the United States when he was two years old, where his father, Milton F. Long, a farrier and Standardbred trainer, introduced his son to driving. Today, Bill and his wife, Linda, operate the September Farm Driving Training Center in Southern Pines, North Carolina, with their sons, Milton and Bill Jr.

This is the third North Star clinic with Mr. Long. He has proven himself equally adept at improving a child's pony (and the thirteen year old driver) and experienced show horses.

Sixteen individual coaching sessions will be available on Sunday, July 8, 2001, between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. The cost is $50 for an individual lesson (approximately one-half hour). Clinic participants will provide their own horse; singles, pairs, tandem or four-in-hand turnouts are welcome. Thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Horse Council, we are able to allow anyone to attend the sessions as an auditor at no charge.

One place in the clinic will be reserved for each horse and driver combination entered in the North Star Morgan Americana whose application is received and paid by the closing date for entries. The Driving Division has classes for both ponies and horses of all breeds. Substitution of horses and drivers is permitted. Any remaining places will be assigned to other applicants in the order received. No driver will be allowed to register for multiple lessons until
and unless all applicants have been scheduled for a lesson.
The clinic will be held in the Judging Arena at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
Stabling is available on the grounds for an additional fee of $75.00. Trailer parking is available at no charge near the Judging Arena for those who would rather come in and out on the day of the clinic. All horses remaining on the grounds overnight must be stabled.
Participants are strongly encouraged to wear suitable safety equipment, including an approved helmet.
North Star entrants should include their clinic registration form and fee with their show entry. Others should send registration and fee to: Carl Hartell, Carriage Coordinator, 17571 Marschall Road, Jordan, MN 55352, 612-445-0067.
Checks should be made payable to: North Star Morgan Americana.
Partial funding for this event has been provided by the Minnesota Horse Council.
