Notice that his sire, Squire Burger, was a double grandson of the great producing mare, Liza Jane. She was dam of many excellent breeding Morgans, both sires & dams.
Duke sired many excellent Morgans and was foundation for Whippoorwill Morgans.
(Foxfire x Nugget's Pride)
1960 stallion
sired a few before being gelded in 1961 {That doesn't seem right?? I dispute the gelding date in the Registry Volume.}
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.
