Merle D. Evans first started breeding Morgans without using a prefix. Later he used the prefix Devan. His foundation Morgans were six from the Government Farm in Vermont and he later added the mostly Western Morgan, Hawk Jim. In the later years, his herd was tightly close bred, going back over and over to his foundation horses.
The photos below were taken by Sumner Kean on his 1951 trip.

Thanks for posting these; as you know, my mare Mythic Feronia traces back to the Devan horses through her paternal granddam Casland Julie. Not your style of horse, probably, but she gets her "fire" from Julie.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. As we travel thru other TMH issues, there will be other Devan Morgans.
