Peggy Cline, Treasurer

Growing up as a horse crazy girl, Peggy knew that one day she'd have horses of her own, but was not willing to own them if they couldn't be with her. About 15 years ago, that dream became a reality.  Peggy has been involved with various horse organizations over the years but most recently, the last 3 years with MSHSA.  "I have never met a nicer group of people and had so much fun at horse shows until becoming involved with MSHSA" says Peggy.
Peggy and her husband own EagleRest Morgans in Helena, Montana.

 

Ken Rolf, Director
 
Ken has been a Morgan horse enthusiast for the past 30 years.  He and
his wife, Barb together own KBR Morgans located in Missoula, Montana.

number one fan and supporter throughout her years of showing horses
with the MSHSA.  He has served as a horse show announcer at many MSHSA shows and has provided unlimited support to the MSHSA association.
