This list is for Midwest Lippitt Morgan owners & breeders to gather to chat about our horses. Here we can discuss up coming events, breeding plans, advertise our stock and so much more.  This list was started Jan 14, 2004.

We can also use this group to help us plan group activities such as Open Barns, Expos, Shows and group advertising. 

Flaming of any organization will not be tolerated. Nor will flaming about an individual or a horse be allowed.

This group is intended to be a nice meeting place where we can get to know each other better and hopefully develop good working relationships for the future.

***PLEASE NOTE ***  Due to the amount of SPAM emails coming through on some lists, any member who posts such emails shall immediately put on moderation.  Any member who uploads a file with SPAM type material shall immediately be put on moderation.  With this moderation, said member will no longer be allowed to upload files, etc.  Said member will also be reported to YahooGroups.  (3/1/04)

This list has the possibility of getting volatile if precautions are not in place.  The membership is made up greatly of breeders.   Each having their own opinion of what is best.  We need to remember that we are all individuals who are looking to do what is best for the Lippitt and the Morgan as a general rule.  We will not see eye to eye on this.  That is to be expected and forgiven.  Please refrain from discussions about those that are not members.   They have no way to defend themselves or answer questions.
