Cecil Ferguson BROADWALL FARM Greene, Rhode Island WHIPPOORWILL DUKE by Squire Burger out of Diana-Mansfield, out of Lippiti Trixie Ash by Ashbrook "The most casual observer of a good Morgan horse is conscious that he sees a peculiar animal. His short, light rapid step point to the great muscles which give him motion. His prominent, clear, eager eyes, set wide apart, testify to his courage and docility — while his clean. light head, carried high, with short, pointed, sensitive ears, gives grace and elegance to every motion. DAVID CI-TAPNIAN LINSLEY In 1858 Written 99 years ago this is still an excellent description of the old type Morgan stallion. It fits Whippoor- will Duke perfectly. In addition, he is a great show horse, a ribbon winner under 5 different recognized judges and he has the most perfect disposition we have ever seen — even in another Morgan. Also he is a beautifully bred horse of high percentage and carrying an unusually great amount of Ethan Allen 3rd blood. Please contact: McCULLOCH FARM Whippoorwill Rd., Old Lyme, Conn.
