Lippitt Miss Nekomia 04938

(Lippitt Moro x Nekomia), foal by Lippitt George

This mare and her descendants were the first Morgans I fell in love with and have remained my truest love in Morgans. Of my 7 Morgans now, 6 have at least 25% of their pedigree strongly Nekomia (my half Lippitt fellow has 9 crosses to her). In the late 1940's, she produced a foal every year and competed in the Vermont 100 Mile Ride, winning one year. When I first got into Morgans, an old-time breeder who specialized in her descendants told me that the reason she did so well on the Vermont Ride was that "she was too damm bull-headed to let another horse in front of her." I can believe that for the Nekomias are known to be opinionated and very free to tell the human their opinion. These are not the easiest horses and one needs a sense of humor to deal with them. They are lovely Morgans in looks and type.
