Show Secretary's Report<br />
The excitement is really starting to build now with just less than<br />
five weeks to go until the first ANMS to be held in Western<br />
Australia.<br />
We are privileged that the first people to import a Morgan stallion<br />
(Sumicaro Beau Geste) into Western Australia – Bill and Yda<br />
Tomsett – have agreed to be our special guests for the show.<br />
We have had many offers of sponsorship and prizes, with trade<br />
stalls as well. Entries are coming in and we should have more<br />
Morgans enter than originally expected.<br />
Our judges are all in place and we are delighted that Linda Brooks<br />
has agreed to judge our Pure Bred Morgans and Dressage.<br />
If anyone would like a program, as a souvenir, please let me<br />
know and we can post this to you. Cost is unknown at this stage<br />
but you will be advised before committing to the purchase.<br />
Don’t forget about the Photo Competition, if you are not attending<br />
the Show. Our Pure and Part Bred Judges will be judging this<br />
competition. Details enclosed with this MM.<br />

Judge Profile: Linda Brooks<br />
Linda has been involved with equestrian activities for over 40<br />
years, competing over a wide range of disciplines, including<br />
Western, Stock Horse, Dressage, Show Jumping, Trail Classes,<br />
Showing and Eventing.<br />
As a Stock Horse competitor, she won the National High Point<br />
Horse Class for five years in a row. As well, her time has been<br />
spent breaking in and training many horses and ponies, taking<br />
them up to championship level at several Royal Agricultural<br />
Shows and she has also competed in the elite riders’ Garryowen<br />
competition. In return, she has worked as a judge at Royal Shows<br />
and various Agricultural Society Shows. On ‘spare’ weekends<br />
you may catch Linda judging the upper level riders at dressage<br />
competitions.<br />
Over the last 15 years Linda has been involved with Morgan<br />
horses in Victoria, preparing various horses and riders for National<br />
Morgan Shows in the eastern States and also presenting Morgan<br />
horses at the Melbourne Royal Show, to take home many firsts<br />
and championship sashes.<br />
Currently Linda, apart from being a busy show ring and dressage<br />
judge, is an NCAS 1 instructor and is involved in private tuition<br />
and the schooling of young (and older) horses. She is also helping<br />
her daughter with her own riding career. Linda is president of<br />
