these horses are particularly interesting to me, either sharing bloodlines with my own or running parallel. i have been fortunate to recently speak with the owner of the "burnett" ranch, near us in texas. he is looking through the ranch records for any morgan info, we know they used the remount program and had headlight morgan in their breeding program. i hope he can dig up something. if he finds anything i'll send it to you too.
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.

ReplyDeleteWay cool. You have to suspect that some of Sellman's mares ended up there as well as some of the other major ranches of the era.
