(Tarron x Black Dee)He is one of my all time favorite historical Morgans. He has one of the best rear ends in the breed. He is a lovely example of Brunk breeding at its very best.

why do we see so few morgans like this now? skinny legs, snakey arab necks and saddlebred-type heads seem to prevail. this guy makes me drool. just look at that neck! i wonder how he would do at stud these days?
ReplyDeleteThose breeding for the old type Morgan would be flocking to him.
ReplyDeleteA good rear end is hard to find in this breed and has been since I've been in it (1979). It was one thing I always looked for in my own stock. As to the skinny legs, snakey necks and Saddlebred-type heads--a some of that has been the "behind-the-barn" breeding using Saddlebreds and Hackneys. More of it is from selection for those traits and using the Government Farm horses who had those traits. There are still good Morgans out there, but one has to look for them. Take a look at my January posting of Clarion of Quietude to see one.
GORGEOUS. Man, I love the old type Morgans. My dad has always wanted one since he started doing Cowboy Action Shooting and his alias is a Lt. Col. for the North. I'll send on your blog for him to look at. Glad I finally went on your blogs! I'm adding yours to mine. http://whenthepaintedhorsecomes.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWelcome. I've been reading your blog for a while. There are a few Morgans in the mounted shooting. But I don't know who they are or who the people are.
