Ann Schafer has a love for horses
By LESLIE WHITMAN Ann Schafer, wife of Doctor Gervas Schafer of r 1 Syracuse, received her first horse when she was 10 years old. “Ever since I can remember I’ve been interested in horses,” she said. “I think people are born with their love of horses.” This love of horses has carried Mrs. Schafer along her entire life. In 1969, she and her husband bought their first horse, a registered Morgan mare. Her stable now includes 11 registered Morgan horses and three ponies. Calm Horses Mrs. Schafer said, “What we like about the Morgan breed is that they are so calm, so reasonable.” She added that there aren’t top many owners of Morgans in the area, a fact she would like to see changed. “I would like to get more people knowledgeable about the breed in the area.” she said. “My aim was to get some 4H kids interested. The Morgans are good for all-round uses.” The Schafers breed and train their own horses. Some of the horses are then exhibited at the county fair, in some area parades and at some shows. Mrs. Schafer said she doesn’t show the horses as much as she used to because of the travel time involved. The Schafers’ horses have placed well in the shows they were entered in. Mrs. Schafer says, “For the shows I’ve done, I think I’ve done very well.” The horses have also placed well in parades. Last year, in the Mermaid Festival parade, Mrs. Schafer placed first in the novelty class. The horses are mainly used for the enjoyment of Mrs. Schafer and the couple’s six children. Os course, Mrs. Schafer also trains and readies the horses for sale. She said she is almost at the point now where she would like to sell some of her colts. Just Like A Pet Care for the horses is handled by the children, while Mrs. Schafer takes care of the training. She said the care of the horses is not too difficult, just like any other pet. The horses are fed and watered twice a day and receive their vaccinations and
Pink and blue shower honors Alissa Hewitt Mrs. Donald Shause and Mrs. Charles Summerlot, both of Syracuse, entertained at what was to have been a surprise pink and blue shower for Mrs. Brian Hewitt of Syracuse. The party, which was held Monday, Feb. 20, in the Shause’s home, CR 35, took a turn when Mrs. Hewitt gave birth to a girl, Alissa Jo, February 19. Games were still enjoyed by 16 ladies and three children. Prizes were won by Cindy Bauer and Charlene Metcalf, who in turn gave them to the honored guests. Gifts were placed in a playpen, which were taken to Mrs. Hewitt and Alissa Jo to be opened. A cake, decorated with a Winnie the Pooh theme, punch and coffee were served. Among the guests were Alissa’s grandmothers, Mrs. Lloyd Kammerdiener, Syracuse, and Mrs. John Bauer, Jr., Cromwell, and her greatgrandmother, Mrs. Catherine Babcock, Syracuse.

worming on a regular basis. The horses are kept outside which Mrs. Schafer feels is more healthy. “They get exercise that way,” she said. The mares are brought in, however, when they are foaling. The Schafers have been lucky as far as the health of their horses is concerned. No major sickness has been found but, with Doctor Schafer being a veterinarian, the horses receive very good care. The horse owner said she starts training the horses as soon as they are bom. She first trains them on a halter until they are about a year and a half old, then she starts training them to a harness. Finally, when a horse is about two-to 2 1 4> to three years old, she breaks it to ride. Breaking of the horses is usually done in March or April, depending on the weather. Mrs. Schafer said she uses an English saddle to break because it has better balance and control. The English saddle is a flat saddle with a double rein on the bridle as

Webster church women unite for World Day of Prayer
Friday, March 3, is World Day of Prayer, when Christian women unite in study, liturgy and prayer in 140 countries and 33 islands. On this day, millions of women will be thinking about the high incidence of loneliness and alienation in modem life and will seek “Community Spirit in Modem Living” as away to serve God’s will for fullness of life for all people. In the United States, World Day of Prayer is sponsored by Church Women United. Services will be held in the North Webster Church of God at 7 p.m. Other participating churches are: Morris Chapel and the North Webster United Methodist and Brethren Churches. Each year, the International committee for the world day of prayer chooses one nation to write the service. This year the women of Canada explore the conflicts, tensions and compromises of living in community.
ANN SCHAFER WITH HORSES
The Canadian women show their concern for the issue of diversity within community in the message they send with the service: “Our life in Canada is becoming fuller and richer as people of many cultures, many races, many creeds and many tongues have come to make their home here. As Canadians, we call our sisters and brothers around the world to share their lives with us and with one another so that all of humanity may grow into unity and wholeness through fellowship with one another.” All are welcome to attend this service. FREE BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS ON SATURDAY Free blood pressure checks will be given at the Chatter Box in Milford on Saturday morning, March 4.
opposed to the Western, which has a pommel and single rein. On the farm, however, Mrs. ■Schafer likes to ride bareback and barefoot. She said, “I ride bareback an awful lot. Sometimes it’s just easier to jump on a horse and do what you need to do.” Ann Schafer comes from Kentland. With her husband, Albert, she has traveled to Turkey and to Phoenix, Ariz. The couple’s children include Marie, 13, Kenny, 12, Debra, nine, David, seven, Loretta, four and Michael, age one. Besides horses, the Schafers also have a dog, several cats, some rabbits and cattle. “We have quite a menagerie,” said Mrs. Schafer. Even though her first love is horses, Ann Schafer also likes to sew and paint. Os course for the Schafers, horses will always be the number one activity. “I’m afraid we’re very horse conscious,” she said. “It gives us another outside activity to do things together.”
