Our family were the last owner's of Starstone's Delight aka: "Bub" He was delightfully smart and kind. Even the most inexperienced rider could be safely mounted up on him. He was euthanized in approximately 1972 after breaking his hip upon being cast under a pasture fence. A sad day indeed. This horse could be ridden without a bridle and obeyed voice commands. He was a rich red sorrel, thickly built and kind of eye.
This blog is dedicated to the Old Morgan--either those who are long gone or those who are contemporary and aged. I will be posting photos of historical Morgans and my own aged horses. Visitors are welcome to submit photos, both historical horses and their own aged horses. Please make the photos of reasonable size and make sure they are compressed. Include as much information as possible on each photo. Use this email addy--
I've been a student of the horse all my life and an avid reader of all sorts of books. I got into Morgans in 1979, getting my first Morgans in 1980 and then becoming a breed historian with published articles in various publications. I still have Morgans, and cats.
