Some of the Morgan happenings around here.
Fun On The Farm Day
Sleipnir Fieldstone goes to Polk County 2010 Fun on the Farm Day
UT Extension, Polk County division, hosted a Fun on the Farm Day, for the area First grades and home school students. For the second year in a row, there was a Registered Morgan horse in attendance.
The Denman Family, of Sleipnir Morgan Horse Farm, in Delano, TN brought Sleipnir Fieldstone, a four year old Bay Registered Morgan gelding, to the event in Benton, on Friday, May 14.
Fieldstone got to meet about 200 students from eleven classes of Polk County First graders. Other siblings, parents, and grandparents were also in attendance. Area home school students were also invited. They, and their families, further increased the number of Fieldstone’s visitors. He took it all in stride with his easy-going temperament.
Dr. John Denman, Elizabeth and Michael McGee told the students and their teachers and families about the history and characteristics of horses in general and of the Morgan Breed in particular. Michael held Fieldstone during the demonstrations and let some of the students stroke Fieldstone’s face and feed him handfuls of hay. Fieldstone, with a typical Morgan Horse’s pleasant personality, loved the attention, and the hay.
