MQHA News
"He has known joy and violence.
Felt the warmth of children and
the cruelty of abuse. He has nearly
died saving lives and merely been
killed by a drunken act. He has
known the finery of grand estates
and the filth of s nking slums. He has
survived fire and flood, starva on
and torment. And nothing could
break his spirit-or his great love. This
is HIS life. He is called the horse." –
Anna Sewell
When I find a saying that relates
to horses, especially one that is so
profound, I feel the need to share
with the readers. I saw this, again,
on the internet (what would we do
without Google?) and loved it. Hope
you also enjoy it.
Congrats to MQHA Amateur
members Cali Reinke and Morgan
O'Brien-Nazer. Cali and "Bode" were
second in Hunter Under Saddle and
English and Circuit Champion in
Hunter Under Saddle and Morgan
and "Linus" were first and second

well as Circuit Champion in Amateur
Showmanship at the Moses Lake
