The 25th Annual Bison Roundup, Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29, 2011. Brent Skidmore and other Volunteer wranglers will once again saddle-up and move the park’s herd of 600 free-roaming bison from the southern tip of the Island to the bison corrals on the northern end of the island.Brent makes this an annual event. If you happen to be in the area, the best viewing opportunities are from the East Shore Road.  Brent Skidmore and others from the American Fork area will be working the herd and moving them across the island to a holding facility with the park department as the Wildlife Biologists and Park Managers work to keep the herd  healthy and in check.  Have fun Brent and be careful!!  Stay tuned for new photos and story

Beacon Silver Miracle, a gray stallion bred and raised by member Helga Loncosky, now owned by Missouri Morgans, will be featured on a monthly page of the Rainbow Morgan Horse Association Calendar.  While gray Morgans are rare in the Morgan Horse Breed, a gaited gray Morgan is very rare.  To order your calendars visit the Rainbow Morgan Horse WEbsite at http://rainbowmorganhorseassoc.com/. Calendars are $12 postage paid.  What could be better than a colorful Morgan on every calendar month (except maybe a gaited colorful Morgan on each page?)  Maybe someday!

Paula Dennis has a heartbreaking story to tell.  When Paula first posted the information to our group forum at [email protected], I don’t think we all knew the whole story.  Paula not only lost her Cowboy, but her granddaughters Pony, and her daughters entire home and farm were wiped away down Catskill Creek.  Please help Paula keep an eye out for Cowboy…maybe he had a chance and is still lost somewhere.  Follow the link above to see his photos and more of the story
