MjPHC HOSTS 2007 ‘PREPARING FOR SUCCESS’ CLINIC

On March 24th & 25th, the Missouri Junior Paint Horse Club held their 2nd Annual “Preparing for Success” clinic in Wright City , Missouri , at Greg and Peggy Goeke’s Prosperity Farm. Our clinician was APHA and AQHA judge Ms Kendra Weiss of Moberly , Missouri .

The riders had two days of coaching on Hunt Seat Equitation, Western Horsemanship and Trail. Ms Weiss was excellent in instructing each individual rider on improving their horsemanship and provided suggested exercises to do at home. Everyone enjoyed it and felt they had been thoroughly instructed.

Thanks to all of you who attended…..the reason for its’ success. We are already looking forward to hosting our 3rd Annual clinic next year. A special thank you  to Greg,  Peggy and their friends for grilling delicious lemon chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings for our lunch.

MjPHC TOUR EQUINE MEDICAL CENTER

On Saturday, March 31st, several members of the Missouri Junior Paint Horse Club traveled to the Equine Medical Center in Columbia, Missouri, for a tour of their facility. Dr. Robert Foss, D.V.M., owner and manager, explained the embryo transfer process in mares. The group observed the embryo in its growth formation starting with the fertilized egg through 200 days of formation. Dr. Foss demonstrated and explained the process of flushing the mare for her embryo, after which the youth observed as he searched for the embryo under his microscope. An embryo was found and he explained the process of preparing the embryo for transfer to the recipient mare.

Pictured are the MjPHC members who toured the facility. On the left, front row: Noelle Mack, Nicole St. Clair and Moriah Mullins. Back Row: Debby Neer, Youth Director, Morgan Harrison and Jackie Murray. To the right of the sign: Kristen Caraway, Blair Bergeson, Kensy Maxwell and Olivia Mack.
