(Lippitt Moro x Ne Komia)
The famous photo of Dr. Parks & Miss Nekomia on one of the VT 100 Mile Rides.
I've heard old-timers say that he did not smoke that pipe in the early miles of the ride. I've also heard it said that one reason the mare did so well on the rides was that she was too "Bull-headed" to let another horse in front of her. The latter statement from someone who loved & bred her descendents.

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.
