"When I walk into the barn to visit my Moriesian, Blaze, the first thing I notice is how beautiful he is. I see the same beauty in the horses shown in the Moriesian Horse Registry, and in the gorgeous calendar it produces every year. I feel so honored to be a member of an organization that shares this beauty for all to see."
