Stillwater Indigo
(Moro Hills Adonis x Natick Moro Independence)
photos from my collection, taken by Mary Rein at The Lippitt Country Show, I think in 1982
Lester Welch, whip, in bottom photo.
Is that Nancy Plimpton in the middle photo?
Indigo was the most majestic horse. I remember him as quite magnificent with Lester welch on board keeping the peace at the Randolph 4th of July parade.And many grand perfformances at the stock farm lippet show.the stone boat pull was always a favorite.
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.
What a lovely sturdy horse with a lovey name too! A nice all rounder.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 1980's, he was my favorite Lippitt. Which would explain why I had a daughter of his & a grandson of his.
