Morgan Standouts at 2009 Walnut Hill
Morgan horses were well represented at this year's Walnut Hill Driving Championship in Pittsford, New York, August 12-16. Organizers were thrilled with the near record number of entries this year, 219, despite the poor economy. Aside from one brief downpour, the week saw blue skies, beautiful horses, and was one to remember!
