Marcia with Ariga<br />

Park Tribute<br />

Marcia on Australia<br />

Day with Ariga Park<br />

Attitude<br />

I recall saying to Helen, and for that matter I still say to<br />

this day: ‘I would be happy to take a bad one!’ (because I<br />

just don’t believe there is such a thing with this wonderful<br />

Morgan breed).<br />

Earlier last year I was offered the fantastic opportunity<br />

to go into partnership with Helen with her young colt,<br />

Ariga Park Tribute (who is the only foal in Australia out<br />

of Mt Tawonga Melody who was that very first Morgan<br />

that I laid eyes on). Tribute is now almost 2½ years old<br />

and is everything I imagined him to be. He is growing<br />

so fast and has the most loving personality. Nothing is<br />

a problem to him. I’ve led him out off other horses, laid<br />

over his back, long reined him all around the property ...<br />

and quite honestly ... he loves it.<br />

I reckon the Morgan breed is worth their weight in gold<br />

and I can see now why they become a family horse for<br />

life. Why on earth would you want to sell one once you<br />

got one<br />

our members may remember Nina and her sister Amy<br />

riding Wirraway Nefertiti at our shows and enjoying<br />

themselves with her and the big smiles all the adults<br />

had on their faces. Bronwyn Burcher and the girls came<br />

down to try Rienzi out before Christmas and then took<br />

him home for a trial after Boxing Day. Nina and Rienzi<br />

make a beautiful pairing.<br />

John has been busy starting Omar Rebel Rouser (Rienzi’s<br />

younger half-brother) under saddle and Omar Stepping<br />

Out to harness. Both boys are taking to the tasks set very<br />

well.<br />

And as for our boy Ariga Park Tribute, keep your eyes<br />

peeled – he will be standing at stud in the near future<br />

and will be out and about promoting what I believe is the<br />

breed of a lifetime! I am enclosing a couple of photos,<br />

one of yet another beautiful Morgan I had the pleasure of<br />

riding on Australia Day called Ariga Park Attitude, aka<br />

Dude! What a legend! He didn’t flinch one bit when I<br />

mounted and started swinging the Australian flag about.<br />

God I love these Morgans! (Everyone should have<br />

one!)”<br />

Here at Omar Morgans in Collector things are going<br />

beautifully, we have paddocks full of grass and the rain<br />

keeps coming. All the horses are enjoying the season.<br />

We are proud to announce that Omar Rienzi has found<br />

a new home with 13 year old Nina Hvejsel. Some of<br />
