(Gayman x Orafield)
1957 mare, owned by M/M Leo Beckley WA. That is not one of the Beckleys up and this photo shows that even back then, in Wash. state, the show ring was creating mystery gaits in Morgans.
This mare went on to be a good producer for the Beckleys.
foaled 1948, bred by E. W. Roberts, Hi Pass, San Diego Co. CA.
another of the very good Morgans bred by Roberts.
a good sire

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.
