Folks, your Historian needs help! :) I'm working on assembling a
pictorial review of all Stallions that have participated in the NY
Stallion Service Auction since the first auction in 1989. I'm almost
there! But I'm unable to come up with photos of the following.
If you have a photo, or know of where I could find one (year and month of
Morgan Horse Magazine) I'd really appreciate it. Here's my list (and
I'll remove them as I find them!) Bildairs Fire and Ice * Foxwin

From: Phyllis Smith octoberhill@buffalo.com Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has received their packet of information and number from the National Animal Identification System. If you have you might want to do a little research on this. It is something that I DO NOT WANT TO SUBMIT TO, just something that the government is trying to do to control what you do with your animals. They will want to know whenever you trailer your horse off of your property. This is not just for horses but for all farm animals all the way down to chickens. If you do not want to see this law put into action please write your congressmen to let them know your feelings. |

I received this note yesterday with regards to the passing of Betty Plauth
of Blue Spruce Farms. In a touching email her daughter writes:
My mother died on August 15 at age 97; she simply stopped breathing
and therefore, had a peaceful death for which we are grateful. So the
days of Blue Spruce Farms are over and, once a new family resides there,
perhaps they will have horses who will run in the paddocks and bring the
place alive once again.
I would appreciate it and you can list my address as a contact for any in the Morgan world who remember my mother. (My father died in August, 1982). My address is Jeanne B. Plauth, 1120 South Green Road, Sprakers, NY 12166. I recall at the "October Show" as we called it, in Syracuse, there was a moment of silence after my father's passing. Now the joke teller of the Morgan world has passed as well. I think those who knew her will certainly remember that about her.
Best Regards,
Jeanne
I've attached a copy of the obituary that was run in the Times paper and
you can view that here...you
can also click
on this this link to post a message to the Guest Book if you have a
memory of Betty that you'd wish to share. Or email Jeanne using the
above address. I'm sure she would appreciate any kind thoughts
about her family and their horses.

NYSMHS Historian needs help! We've a big gap in our Archives - and we do not have most of the Trader newsletters from the 1970's. Is there anyone out there that has been saving issues that would be willing to donate them or let me copy what you've got? This will go straight into our club archives. I'm also looking for any show programs for Western District, Eastern District, Central District....please contact me if you've got any of the above and would consider donating them to the club. Thanks, Valerie (Valerie Low, vlow@rochester.rr.com ) |
