Morgan Stallion Sweeps Drawing Postponed Due to Weather
The Morgan Stallion Sweeps, a raffle offering the chance to win a breeding service for 17 top Morgan stallions, announced today that the drawing scheduled for February 12th has been postponed due to inclement weather until February 16th.
The Morgan Stallion Sweeps enables ticket purchasers to choose the stallion or stallions they would like the opportunity to breed to and enter a raffle for the stallion service. There will be 17 winners and each will be able to use the service in either the 2019 or 2020 breeding season.

The ticket sales will support a 2 Year Old Park Harness class at the New England Regional Morgan Horse Show in July with prize money being paid through eight places.
