MOROMINT - BAY yearling filly, a charmer. (Lippitt Moro Ashmore x Lippitt Redmintl

HILLARY- Weanling, bright chestnut by Dyberry Buddy and out of Royalton Hepsibeth. Another real "sharp" foal that this breed­ ing has now produced five times in a row.

We do have a colt too. Though he is so new it doesn't seem fair to offer hi'!' for sale so soon. He is by High Pastures Timothy and out of High Pastures Suzette. To young to be picked to pieces but we are sure of his adorable head and dark bay color.

Also, a reminder - boarding facilities with caretakers in some of Vermont's best riding country.

Ofters for sale two outstanding weanling fillies, September delivery, a beautiful chestnut out of our best mare, Bridget Twilight by Lippitt Moro Ashmore, a real show or pleasure prospect. The other is a bay out of Sealect Lady Jane and by Sam Ashbrook. These fillies have conformation, action and good dispositions . Probably others will be on the market at that time also, including two stallions and older fillies. Over thirty years ago we owned our first Morgan which corresponded closely to Linsley's description of the original. Since that time we have done our best to adhere to this. Otherwise, why a Morgan at all? Our Morgans, like aristocrats, always rise to the occasion whatever they may be asked to do at any time, be it pleasure or show.

This farm believes the change in rules a step in the right direction.
