Had only 4 registered foals. One was Elchem, out of the noted dam Janee. Foaled in 1942, Elchem also was limited at stud & had 5 registered. One of those, however, was the noted sire, Sherimill Sunrise, out of the noted dam Hepatica.
I have a memory of an article in TMH, way back in the '40's probably or early '50's, about either Justinian or his son Elchem. I recall that whichever it was, had been found in a bad situation and rescued. This was in upstate NY. I think it was Justinian.
Despite being registered as Red Roan, he was actually gray. His dam was the source of the color. She was by Troubadour of Willowmoor and out of Rachel 4398, who was foaled in 1907, bred in VT. She was by Ethan Allen 4696 and out of Nelly x-4397. Nelly was a gray by Aristos 1495, and Nelly's dam was Daisy w/ no pedigree.
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.
