7-12/2010 - Well the results are in...we've asked for your opinion on hosting a Barn Sale at the upcoming NY Morgan Show on Friday and Saturday...and many of you feel that this would be a fun event. It would allow members to donate or consign horse related goods, with either all of the profits or a portion of the profits going to some special classes at our 50th anniversary show. But now for the important part - we are looking for a member that is willing to coordinate and manage the details of this event. This is a great opportunity for a member that would like to get involved in a club activity. We'll help - we already have people that have volunteered to staff....but we need the mastermind that will pull everything together. Do we have any volunteers? Please email us at this link if you are interested....

7/5/2020 - We need you! Or your Ribbons that is :) This is the NYSMHS Ribbon project and only you can help us meet our goal.

5/8/2010
- Over the course of the next year, I'm going to take a moment each week
to introduce one of our NYSMHS Members. I'll start those on Committees
and the BOD and then move on throughout our membership list. You can
help me by sending along a photo - anything (horse or non) that allows
us to recognize you - and a few words about you. Email them to me at
vlow@rochester.rr.com. I'll
start with Wendy Green - one of our Membership team. Wendy helped bring
to you our new Membership Directory, and she's the one you send your
membership forms to. Wendy, with her family has Heart To Heart Morgans.
Something unique about their program is the special way they integrate
the scouting program with horse care. You can learn more about them at
www.hthmorgans.com.
5/5/2010 - May 4, 2010 - Intervet Schering-Plough

vaccine. A list of the recalled lot numbers is available on the AVMA Web
site.
