The America the Beautiful series continues!

Woohoo, I got my wish! I (and a lot of others, it looks like) wanted the America the Beautiful web special series to continue this year, and it's happening! Check out the first entry in this year's series!



Whoa - the Stretch Morgan? I didn't see that coming. His name is Kaibab! From the website:

The Kaibab National Forest is located in northern Arizona. Stretching 1.6 million acres, it borders both the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon. It features dramatic scenery such as evergreen forests, jagged and sparse plateaus, and places like the Sycamore Canyon Falls, where the cliffs plunge towards the river - changing color from an earthy brown-red to a silver grey.
Kaibab's silver dapple tobiano coat evokes the colors of the richly-hued rocks, and the rugged natural texture of the wind- and river-carved plateaus. He features detailed eyes, and has a high gloss finish that really highlights his gorgeous shading! His belly is marked with "Kaibab 2018."

He's pretty! And it's the first time the Stretch Morgan has been used for a while, unless I'm forgetting something. Unfortunately, I won't be entering for this one, as I don't collect the mold. And I'm already seeing rumblings online that he'll be difficult to show, due to the fact that he's tobiano, the one pinto pattern that doesn't appear in the Morgan breed.

Of course, the continuation of the series does beg the question of what will appear next? Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they updated the clue list from last year. The deep, dry canyons, snowcapped mountains, etc were all references to web specials from last year. Somebody must have overlooked that...oops! Hopefully we get a new list soon.
