I have been involved with Morgan horses since 1967 when I was posted to Kentville, NS as the local V.O.N. nurse. Having just graduated from U.B.C., I was determined to now learn to ride and I fetched up at the Hobby Horse Farm in the Annapolis Valley for lessons. Twenty years later, I was married, a mother of a young son, working as a nursing instructor at the local college, living on an acreage and buying my first beautiful Morgan gelding. In 1991, I became the director for the BC/Yukon Zone of the Canadian Morgan Horse Association’s Board of Directors and served for the next nine years. For the next 27 years, I helped organize fund-raising events, mainly trail rides, for the Foundation, eventually re-named the Equine Foundation of Canada and assisted in making decisions regarding the disbursement of funds to veterinary students and colleges across Canada.

It has been a long and rewarding journey but it is coming to an end for me; I am now widowed, the son is married, I have two lovely grandchildren, I still live on the acreage and have two lovely Morgan geldings. As I look back from 2018, I realize I have been indirectly and directly involved with the EFC since 1967!
