“Missy” is bold and fearless yet super gentle and loves being around people. There's not a mean bone in her body. She nickers and comes running when she sees you. Missy has really impressed me with her attitude. She has taught herself to cross our makeshift bridge and taught herself to load in the stock trailer all by herself. She shows no fear yet took her time in checking out each object by circling them and making sure they couldn’t “bite” her. As soon as she figured out they were no threat to her, she just jumped on (took her about 10 minutes for each obstacle). When learning to tie the first time (I use the Tie Block ring) she gave one tiny little attempt at a pull and figured this is no big deal; she didn’t stress over it al all. She is leading and tying and having her feet done and takes it all in stride.

Missy is very balanced and moves with such grace. She has great shoulders, clean straight legs, and a nice hip and rear on her that will give her movement great push from behind. She is just one solid young foal. I can see Missy doing just about any discipline put in front of her, but she could excel at eventing, jumping, or out on the trail. When she moves it is a nice and collected,  so she would make a nice WP horse as well.

Missy is half sibling to X so she carries the wonderful lines of Sunup Neptune as well as Speedramp Walker. Both sides of Missy's pedigree are full of horses with "Bird" in their names, so her name was chosen to reflect this tradition. Her dam line is a favorite of mine as Birdie (Tan War Bird) is the wonderful WAR line that traces back to War Omega Bird that goes to Red Correll as well as Flyhawk; her other lines trace nicely to Jubilee King and Flyhawk alsol and with just that touch of Lippitt in there, it sure gives her babies that unmistakable “Morgan” look.

Congratulations to Missy's new owner, Terri L. of NC!

2004 chestnut frame overo half Morgan mare

"Rain" was bred on our farm. She is really the best of both worlds with that wonderful Morgan graceful movement that makes it appear as if she is floating. Rain has great ground manners and is a super friendly and in your pocket mare. She gets along with all the horses in the herd. She is foundation on her Morgan side and strong foundation bred on her dam side. My husband really loved riding her sire as he was the smoothest ride around and had such beautiful action. Just amazing to watch and so very comfy to ride. She moves just like him.

Congratulations to her new owner, Bill Gresham of Tipton, MI!

2008 black mare

Big, bold, beautiful and black all this wrapped up in this incredible young mare. Nellie is close to 14.3 at the young age of 2 years old. She is super curvy in all the right places a has a super hip and a head that will make you drool. She is sweet and smart. Her dam has multiple driving and English pleasure championships under her belt. Some of her many wins include first in 3 year old Pleasure Driving Mares, Section B at the 1996 CT All Morgan, first in Novice Classic Pleasure Driving at the 1999 Delmarva Classic, Classic Pleasure Driving Champion at Mason-Dixon in 1999, Classic Pleasure Driving Champion at the 1999 and 2000 Mid Atlantic Show, and Classic Pleasure Driving Champion at the 1999 Delmarva Summer Classic. Mid-A, Devon and many others. Retired from showing, Nellie's dam is now a great trail horse and has many overnight campouts to her credit as well. Her sire is the fantastic favorite on the farm, Pal, whose sire was a Grand National Driving Champion. So this girl should do anything asked of her. She moves like there is no tomorrow, just beautiful.

Nellie's new owners are the Overlys of Fairwind Farm in OH.

Outside work riding around cones, and jogging, March 21, 2010

"Libby" has it all in the gene pool-  on her dam's side she is a Treble's Willy Wild granddaughter, along with Noble Command, and on her sire's side she is double Trophy in 5 and 6 generations. Throw in her Whippoorwill Duke lines and she is as lovely and smart as her lines tell you she should be.

Libby is a pocket pest and just loves human company. She will leave the herd to come running to you when she sees you. If given the chance she would probably climb in your lap. She is VERY smart and has just loved to learn, picking things up not only quickly but she retains the information. She will stand all day to be brushed and loved on.

Libby has found a wonderful home with a family in Florida, and one of her stablemates is another horse from our breeding program!

2006 chestnut mare
YouTube video of Pepper

Pepper is one of the sweetest, nicest coming 3 year old mares I have come across in a long time. She is very sensible with a loving temperament to match. With her incredible smooth curvy hip and shoulder you can easily see where her nice movement comes from. Throw in a gorgeous head and she is a great package. With her bloodlines she will be able to do anything you ask of her- from reining like her Champion grandsire, Whippoorwill Newmoon, to driving like her Champion driving dam, L’Cima Hollywood Star, or anything in between.

Pepper is a high quality mare and her bloodlines shine through in everything that she does. She has wonderful ground manners and knows all the basics. Her training will continue with her being started under saddle and her price will be reflected as her training increases. Pepper should mature to 15 hands with no problem. Congratulations to her new owner, Mr. Morris of FL.

1993 chestnut mare

Holly has multiple driving and English pleasure championships under her belt. Some of her many wins include first in 3 year old Pleasure Driving Mares, Section B at the 1996 CT All Morgan, first in Novice Classic Pleasure Driving at the 1999 Delmarva Classic, Classic Pleasure Driving Champion at Mason-Dixon in 1999, Classic Pleasure Driving Champion at the 1999 and 2000 Mid Atlantic Show, and Classic Pleasure Driving Champion at the 1999 Delmarva Summer Classic.

This mare has the fastest trot I have ever had the pleasure to sit. While all the other horses are breaking into a canter, she can leave them in the dust with her big, super smooth trot. Holly has given us 3 outstanding foals and we expect no less of her in the future. Congratulations to her new owner, Julie Russell of Odessa, FL!

2008 chestnut filly

This is such a wonderful story I just had to share. It all started back at the end of 2007 when I was contacted by Jennifer Murdock of Can-Do Morgans from Wy. She was excited that she had found my website and had seen my mom's stallion, Spring Lake Pallidin, aka Pal (Spring Lake Peter D x Dulcie Lenda) as she also had a daughter by Peter D. She had been trying to get her mare in foal for over 5 years with no luck. She inquired about any offspring of Pal and I told her I would keep her posted. So last year when Pal had 2 fillies hit the ground I emailed Jennifer. She was so excited about the filly Spring Lake Gypsy Rose, aka Lolo (Spring Lake Pallidin x Southbrook Trophys Summer) that she wanted to buy her. Well as we all know life can get in the way sometimes and due to some unforeseen forces Jennifer had to inform us that she could not get Lolo.

When I went to my moms to pick up horses this past December I took a few picture of Lolo for the website. I decided to send Jennifer the pictures as well. When she emailed me back she mentioned that her Trophy mare had passed on in November and she didn't get a foal from her either. Lolo was the perfect combination of Spring Lake Peter D and the Trophy lines that she loved so much. So it is with GREAT excitement that I announce the sale of Spring Lake Gypsy Rose to Jennifer Murdock of Can-Do Morgans. I know this will be a perfect home for Lolo and she will be loved very much, probably spoiled as well.
