STATEMENT OF OWNER: Rocky Bon has been a great show stallion as well as an outstanding pleasure driv- ing horse. This stallion has beaten some of the outstanding show Morgans in the east. Orcland Youlenda and Wind-Crest Nancy C are two of the finest Morgan fillies I have ever owned. Either one of these fillies would make an unusual ladies show mare. Selling these Morgans is like parting with members of the family but due to unusual business de- mands on my time I must sell them. PRICED to sell — No trades.
