In Memory of Ransomvale Jude
We are very thankful for a generous sponsorship in the memory of a wonderful ambassador to the Morgan breed. Ransomvale Jude. Jude has been the winner of many classes at HD from Champ geldings in hand, Justin Morgan Standard and many more. Jude was a great driving horse and enjoyed it so much, but his favorite thing was the children he was such a gentle giant. Jude you are greatly miss, but know your memory will always be at Heritage Days… Thank you for the sponsorship.
