Hello - thank you for posting this. My parents bought 'Vick' as a yearling (on the advice of Morgan breeder and good friend John Bee) and showed (and won a LOT) him for years until my fathers unexpected death in 1968. My mother had suddenly become a single mother of 3 so she asked friends to keep/stand him and we are grateful that they did. Vick was put down at 19, on the day that he was unable to stand. I have some great old photos of Vick being shown/ridden by my mom as well as being shown/driven by our (at the time) trainer.
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.
