JULY, 1964 21 NO ONE WILL BE HARMED

By the new rules regulating weight of shoe or length of feet of Mor ­ gan horses as provided for in recent American Horse Show Association rule changes.

All Morgan horses shown under these rules will perform under identical conditions. No horse will have any advantage that is not available to every other horse in each class.

The new rules are no more of a handicap, nor less democratic than were the old rules. These stipulated that " excessive length of foot and excessive weight shall be penalized. " All the new rules do is to clarify and spell out what the old rules always intended.

Those who have been courageous enough to specify exactly what should be, ought to receive our thanks, not our condemnation and rid icule.

One is drawn to the conclusion that the lack of democratic behavior rests even more with those who have risei:1 up in arms, thus creafling an uncalled for and heated debate of this issue, than with those who, for the best interests of the breed took measures to tell us what the rules have intended all along.

I join with Na_ncy Ela in suggesting that we slow down and think. Too, I urge that we seek an amicable premise for discussion of each of our problems and differences. All men are reasonable and all problems and differences offer reasonable means of settlement when cool minds lead out. The interests of the Morgan fraternity will be furthered substantially, if all factions surrender their individual programs and conflicts, (swallow their pride), . and strive for solidification of our aims . Unless we do, the welfare of the Morgan will be given a serious set-back that will require years to overcome.

This is the time for warm hearts and cool heads . May they come for ­ ward in friendly effort to adjust all d ifferences and establish unity within the ever-increasing family of Morgan owners.

Sincerely,

, . SUNSWEPTACRES, ST. GEORGE,UTAH North Central Assn.

SHERMAN MORGAN 5 by Justin Morgan out of a "Spanish" mare was foaled about 1808. He was bred by James Sherman of Lyndon, Vermont . A bright chestnut with strip and right hind stocking white, he stood only 13.3 at maturity. Sherman and his immediate descendants were best known for their speed and action in harness. He was used extensively at stud, and twenty of his sons, all noted as sires, are listed in the Register. Among them were such good stallions as Royal Morgan and Billy Root . Also descended from Sherman, several generations removed was Shepherd F. Knapp, two of whose sons are found in the Hackney Register.

BLACK HAWK 20

Greatest of all Sherman's sons, however, was BLACK HA WK 20. Solid black in color, he stood 15 hands. He was bred by Benjamin Kelley of Durham, N. H. and was foaled in 1833. His dam was a fast trotting mare of un­ known breeding. Black Hawk's stud books show that from 1844 to 1856 he was bred to 1772 mares. His get were highly valued during their sire's lifetime. His blood flows in many of today's Standardbreds. More than ninety per cent of living Saddlebreds have Morgan blood, most of it coming through Black Hawk's grandsons, Gist's Black Hawk and Indian Chief. Black Hawk left an even stronger imprint on Morgan pedigrees, primarily through his in­ comparable son Ethan Allen.

ETHAN ALLEN 50

ETHAN ALLEN 50 was foaled June 18, 1849. Bred by Joel Holcomb of Ticonderoga, N. Y. he was out of a mare believed to be descended in several lines from Ju tin Mor­ gan. He stood just under 15 hands and was a bright bay with a star and faint irregular strip, with both hind and right fore fetlocks white. lt is difficult for us today in the space age to realize how great was the popularity of Ethan Allen in his horse-centered era. World's champion trotter of the time, he was the subject of innumerable magazine and newspaper articles, pictures and prints, toys and wea­ thervanes, and even the hero of a popular song. A sports­ writer of his time says of him: "Grand old horse! Other s have· beaten his time; a few others (and very few) have beaten his stud career, and other families have risen to greater popularity than his; but in all the course of tr~t­ ting history no other stallion ever gained and held such wide-spread admiration from the people or was ever so taken right to the public heart. What words can picture his grace of action, his perfect poise and animated glow! ... To see was to admire. They loved him for himself. Long after he shall have passed away, the brightest en­ comium that can be paid to the action of a trotting horse will be that he is gaited like old Ethan. That encom­ passes all. It is the end of the law." Every registered Morgan living today traces in one or more lines to Ethan Allen 50. We have no available picture of JUBILEE LAMBERT 1476, but he was said to be a striking individual. He was a dark bay in color, but had hazel eyes, and stood all of 15.3. He was foaled in 1863 out of a Black Hawk grand­ daughter . He was bred by John Porter and Thomas Har­ vey of Ticonderoga, N. Y. At the age of sixteen Jubilee Lambert was sold to a breeding syndicate in Cynthiana, Kentucky. His greate st son was Jubilee de Jarnette.

DANIEL LAMBERT 62

One of Ethan Allen's most popular sons was DANIEL LAMBERT 62, noted as a sire of both speed an

BEN FRANKLIN 1508 was foaled in Orwell, Vermont in 1873, by Daniel Lambert out of a Black Hawk daughter. He was a black chestnut with off hind foot white, and stood 16 hands. He was a noted sire of winning trotters, both in Vermont and for his later owner Frank McGavock of Nashville, Tennessee. His blood is found in today's Morgans largely through his two great-grandsons, the full brothers Allen King and Penrod, sire of Jubilee King.

JUBILEE KING 7570 descended from Daniel Lambert both through Ben Franklin and Jubilee de Jarnette. He was bred by J. C. Brunk of Springfield, Ill. and foaled in 1927. He wa s a chestnut with a strip and flaxen mane and tail, thus carrying and passing on to many of his get the bright coloring of Daniel Lambert. Jubilee King stood 15.2 and weighed 1070 at maturity. During his long life­ time he stood at stud in Illinois, Texas, and Vermont. His blood is found today in hundreds of Morgans from Maine to California. JUBILEE KING 7570

JUBILEE DE JARNETTE 3854

JUBILEE DE JARNETEE 3854 had for his dam Lady de Jarnette by Indian Chief. Many horsemen still call "The Lady" the greatest fine harness mare that ever lived. Her only offspring to breed on was this stallion, bred by W. W. Wilson of Cynthiana, Kentucky, and foaled in 1883. Jubilee de Jarnette was a bay, standing 16 hands and weigh­ ing 1150 lbs. His name is found most often in modern Morgan pedigrees Black Bess and Daisy de J arnette, the granddams of Jubilee King, and through his grandson Troubadour of Willowmoor, grandsire of Upwey Ben Don.

LORD CLINTON, a gelding by Denning Allen, had, in­ directly, a great influence on Morgan breeding. A trotter with a record of 2.10 '/., he so impressed Joseph Battell that Col.

Another of Justin Morgan's sons was WOODBURY MOR­ GAN 7, of whom no contemporary picture exists . He was bred by Lyman Wight of Tunbridge, Vermont, and foaled in 1816. His dam was a large bay mare of unknown breeding. Woodbury stood 14.3 and weighed about 1020 lbs. He was a dark chestnut with a long snip and right hind leg white. He was considered to be the most stylish of Justin's sons, and the most impressive under saddle. Woodbury died in Gainesville, Alabama in 1838 but, as far as is known, he left no stock in that state.

One of Woodbury's best and most prolific sons was GIF­ FORD MORGAN 30 (right) . The only contemporary picture we have of Gifford is this, made when he was old, and reproduced from a poorly-retouched daguerrotype (as is the picture of his son Green Mountain, below). Gif­ ford was a very dark chestnut, standing 14.2, and weigh­ ing 1000 lbs. He was bred by Ziba Gifford of Tunbridge, Vermont .

GIFFORD MORGAN 30

GREEN MOUNTAIN MORGAN 42

Gifford's best son was the magnificent GREEN MOUNTAIN MORGAN 42. He was foaled the property of George Bundy of Bethel, Vermont, about 1832. He was a seal brown, stood 14.2, and weighed · about 1000 lbs. Green Mountain had several owners, among them Silas Hale of S. Royalston, Mass ., who took his stallion West in 1853, where he won first prizes at the Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan state fairs. In 1854, he was champion at the Vermont state fair. As a result of Mr. Hale's tour, many of Green Mountain's get were sold in western states. So popular was he as a sire that he averaged more than 100 mares a year sent to his court. Both in his own time and today Green Mountain has been considered the epitome of Morgan type. It is his likeness, taken from an old print, that appears on our regis ­ tration certificates . This same picture is used as an emblem by several regional organizations, including the Mid-Atlantic Morgan Club. And the rarest and most valuable of all antique horse weathervanes is that which represents Green Mountain. (The best pre ­ served example of this weathervane still adorn­ ing a barn is to be found at Windcrest, Windsor, Vt .) PETERS' VERMON T 403

One of Green Mountain's many sons was the WOOD HORSE 402, foaled in 1846 in Hanover, N. H. No picture remains of this horse, which was sold to go to Ohio as a five-year-old. The year before he was sold, his owner David Wood bred him to a mare he owned that was also sired by Green Mountain. The result of this mating was PETERS' VERMONT 403 (right). Vermont, foaled in 1850, was a dark chestnut horse, just 14.2. At the Ver­ mont state fair in 1864, he won a blue ribbon for his new owner, J. H. Peters of Bradford. The Peters family were for many years breeders of fine horses. They used Ver­ mont extensively at stud throughout his long life and to replace him they later bought one of his weanling sons from another breeder.

PETERS'MORGAN 405

This son, registered as PE TERS' MORGAN 405 (left), was bred by Noah Humphrey of Haverhill, N . H., out of a mare tracing directly twice to Woodbury and once to Bulrush Morgan. Peters' Morgan was foaled in 1872. He stood 15.2 and weighed 1030 lbs. Less extensively used at stud than was his sire, his blood comes· to modern Mor­ gans primarily through one of his first sons, Ethafl Allen 2nd.

ETHAN ALLEN 2nd 406

ETHAN ALLEN 2nd 406 (right) was a dark chestnut with strip, standing 15 hands . He was foaled in 1877, bred by J. H. Peters and Son. His dam was by Ethan Allen 50 and out of a daughter of Green Mountain. Ethan Allen 2nd proved to be a remarkable · sire of type and quality. He left many descendents, incl uding four out­ standing sons, whose blood is found today in Morgans from coast to coast. SONS OF ETHAN ALLEN2nd

ETHAN ALLEN 3rd 3987 BOB MORGAN 4549

Oldest of the four great sons of Ethan Allen 2nd was ETHAN ALLEN 3rd 3987. He was foaled in 1885, bred BOB MORGAN 4549 was foaled in 1888. He was a bay, by Allen Wiggin~ of Burke, Vt., out of a granddaughter 15 hands, and out of a mare with breeding very similar to of Green Mountain. He was a dark chestnut with a strip that of the dam of Ethan Allen 3rd. Bob Morgan was bred and one white sock. Of this horse C. A. Benton wrote: bf William Rosebrooks of Island Pond, Vermont, and spent "His disposition is so remarkable that my children enter his last years at the farm of A. R.

Ethan Allen 3rd's inheritance is found grandsire of Artemisia, and also of Allenda, dam of in present day Morgans primarily through his grandson Ulendon. ~E;alect and through his many daughters, including Artem- 1S1a, Nancy ( dam of Ashbrook), Trilby ( dam of Lippitt Ethan Ash) and Gladwin, one of the great producers of the breed.

CROYDON PRINCE 5325 was foaled in 1890. This 14.1 hand dark chestnut son of Ethan Allen 3rd was bred by J . C. CrQcker of Grantham, N. H. His dam was a daugh­ ter of Morgan Hunter 2nd and his granddam was by Ethan Allen 50. When Croydon Prince was twenty-six years old the most famous of his sons was foaled - Ashbrook 7079' out of a daughter of Ethan Allen 3rd. Ashbrook was th~ foundation sire of Robert Knight's Lippitt strain.

HEADLIGHT MORGAN 4683

HEADLIGHT MORGAN 4683 carried the blood of Ethan Allen 2nd to the West. Foaled in 1893, bred by the Mor­ gan Horse Company of Carpentersville, Illinois, he too was out of a mare.of Green. Mountai_n breeding. Headlight was a chestnut with a strip and right front foot white. He was owned for many years in Kansas, and was so well thought of as an individual and as a sire that many of his own daughters were bred back to him. Many western Morgans of the present time trace in several lines of their pedigi:ees to Headlight Morgan. In more recent years Headhght blood has come East in the band of mares frorr: the Theis Ranch.

ASHBROOK FARM

It is indeed fortunate this season in that we have three fillies. One is already sold and the others are for sale. This year we feel we have a surplus so are offering one or two broodmares and one or two two-year-olds. These are not culls, just that we have more than we ourselves need. Most of these carry more than fifteen per cent Justin Morgan blood. In spite of claims that we read and hear about, this farm carries as high a per­ centage as any other in the country and can be proven quite easily. We are delighted with the get of Lippittt Moro Ashmore. He has a two to one filly average and best of all they look like him who in turn looks like the famous Lippitt Ashmore, his sire. For prices and excellent quality visit our farm. Do not, however, expect a bar­ gain, only culls are worth that.

Originally pub­ lished by Joseph Battell in 1915 in a very limited edition, the original has been unobtainable for many years. Volume III is the most important of all the early volumes for those interested in Morgan pedigrees. It contains, with many additions and correction, all Morgans registered in Volumes I anJ II, along with many new registrations. Jn Volume III for the first time all stallions are assigned registration numbers. Also given in Volume III are the per­ centages of Morgan blood in all stallions and mares registered to date. This is the only volume to list these percentages , and it is tht' basis of reference for all percentage calculations.
