Our pictur e this month is of T he Brown Falcon I 1180. We recognize that opinion s vary omew hat in regard to scale ru1d balance in the proportions. of a hor e as related to performance, but we challenge anyo ne to find much fault in his basic con formatio n. From the wealth of his good breeding, The Brown Falcon has been en Jow ed with all the distinctive breed character istic and a prepotency that is truly remarkabl e. T he Brown Falcon was first in the Junior add le Stak e and second in the Junior Harness Stake at the 1958 atio nal Morgan STUART G. HAZARD Hors e Show. He also placed fourth in the class for tallions four years old and over at th e same show. His endur ance 1308 College Avenue and undimini shin g pirit are really re- markable. Topeka, Kansas We have seen enough of his f.oals to feel safe in our prediction that his get will establish record s which will pro ve Th e Brown Falcon to be one of the breed's great sires as well as a show hor se. To prove this point, and because we primarily operate a breeding farm rath er than a how table, we plan to reserve one or more foals each year for buyers who can assure u that they will be propery trained and ex hibited. Inquiri es are welcome from ser ious buyers interested in Morgans of thi s quality.
