Mossrose Noblesse

2021 Smoky Black Mare ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
November 2021 Noble went to her new home in Texas. Thank You!
Noblesse is a fine Morgan that should work well for most any discipline as well as make a fantastic broodmare in the future. She is another of our quality foals that has a performance packed pedigree. To list just a few of the performance horses in her pedigree, her sire is the handsome dressage stallion, Whippoorwill Aristocrat. Noble's dam is the lovely Mossrose Ysabella who was used for cutting and trail riding. Bella herself, has been a producer of quality using horses. Bella is by the reining stallion and Breyer model, Montana Harvest. Bella's dam is the infamous Whippoorwill Salus, one of the few daughters of the cutting champion, Californio, whose blood comes down into today's Morgans. Noble should mature to 15H or 15.1H. She has a full mane, tail and forelock of curly black hair like her sire. Noble is a bold and confident filly. She will be a fun ride and should go anywhere you want to go. If there's a job to do, I would take Noble as she will be the one to get it done. She has grit and bottom that will serve her well. Her new owner plans to show her in dressage and also use her to raise some quality Morgan foals. We look forward to her showing off her ability in the future!
 

Mossrose Tanzanite

2006 Black Mare ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
October 2021 Tanzanite went to her new home in Minnesota. Thank You!
Tanzanite is out of a gorgeous mare, Gold Cross Miss Flicka and by a stallion we raised and trained, Whippoorwill Daybreak. Tanzanite was sold as a youngster and went out East. Her owner passed away, so she came back to us. Tanzanite was expertly started under saddle and had many trail miles in earlier years. She had a riding refresher the month of January 2021 and went right back to work like she hadn't missed any time off. She is an easy and safe horse to ride and has a great foundation. She has a good work ethic and is a very pleasant to be around. The pictures are from the first time we took her through our working equitation obstacles. She took right to it with little trouble. She can be shy when you first meet her, but with consistent kindness she can count on, she will be your best friend. Tanzanite stands 15.1H We enjoyed having her new owner visit a couple of times and ride Tanzanite before deciding to make her a permanent riding partner and move her home to Minnesota. We could see the two were meant for each other and wish them all the best in their dressage lessons and out on the trails.  

Mossrose Mark Time

2020 Bay Gelding ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
September 2021 Marcus went to his new home in Wisconsin. Thank You!
This is another quality gelding out of the beautiful Whippoorwill Newmoon daughter, Mossrose Dandy Jewel. He is the first offspring of his Flyhawk bred sire, Edgefield Patriot. Marcus is an excellent quality 100% Foundation gelding with a wealth of old bloodlines. He is a big guy, strong and correct. Everyone that sees him thinks he is big for his age. I expect him to mature in the 15.1H to 15.3H range. From the beginning Marcus has been easy going and very friendly. Not much of anything bothers him. He has been introduced to a variety of obstacles. Walking over the tarp the first time was uneventful, he just followed his handler with no questions asked. Marcus is going to mature into a big classic baroque looking boy with plenty of substance. With his rich deep color, muscular balanced build, loads of hair and beautiful face, he is going to be one impressive boy! Mossrose Morgans has always had a breeding focus on ability and performance. Like our other Morgans, Marcus is athletic with 3 correct gaits and should be versatile enough to willingly and happily do a variety of disciplines. His new owner plans to do western dressage with him. I am so excited as that is what I have always thought would suit him well. Also, his new owner is one of my good friends and someone that has always inspired me. I admire the way she brings along a horse and brings out their best. We wish them well and can't wait to cheer them on in the competition ring!
 

Mossrose Iron River

2016 Smoky Black Gelding ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
July 2020 River went to his new home in Minnesota. Thank You!
River is a great gelding to have around! He is 15H and easy, easy, easy. He is happy and quiet in a box stall or a tie stall. He is no problem for trimming, clipping or routine vet and farrier work. River gets along with everyone and likes to play if he can find someone that will play with him! He has a huge personality and is a more laid back, uncomplicated type of horse. He is bold and curious amd there isn't much that bothers him. I get the feeling he would like to explore the trails, but would also look great driving. Like all of our Morgans, he is smart and tries hard to please his people. River has 3 correct gaits and a tremendous stop. We have worked hard to acquire breeding stock that have a ground covering walk, a nice, round, baroque trot and an excellent canter/lope. The blood breeds true and this gelding is a fine example of the classic versatile Morgan Horse. River and his new owner are going to have a blast exploring the trails in Minnesota!
 

Mossrose King Correll

2018 Chestnut Gelding ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
June 2020 King went to his new home in Pennsylvania. Thank You!
King is an exceptional colt. Sired by Quantum Midnight Magic and out of Mossrose Dandy Jewel by Whippoorwill Newmoon. King has been a big colt with a lot of substance from the day he was born. He was 12H by 3 months old and 14.1H by 13 months old! Also from the day he was born, he has been very friendly, coming up for pets whenever he sees us. He is always respectful & kind. He is a big mover with a lovely trot and excellent working canter, one of the nicest canters I've seen in a long time. He can lope off so nice & so slow, I'm convinced he could lope in place without a problem! He naturally works off of his hindquarters and changes leads with ease. One morning when he was just a couple months old we looked out in the pasture to see him loping circles to the left for a looong time. Very impressive for a youngster! We are excited to see where his new owner takes him in the discipline of French Classical Dressage.
 

Mossrose Golden Ridge

2014 Buckskin Gelding ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
March 2020 Ridge went to his new home in Montana. Thank You!
center>
Ridge is a handsome representative of the classic Morgan Horse that I've always thought should be used to promote the Morgan breed as he is talented and eye catching. He has plenty of Morgan type, is stunning to look at and well mannered. Ridge is sired by the multi-champion reiner, Whippoorwill Newmoon. Newmoon's sire was the 15.3H black working ranch horse, Blackwood Correll (by Red Correll), foaled in 1965. Newmoon's dam was the 1967 Whippoorwill Duke daughter, Whippoorwill Kathleen, a carriage competitor. Ridge's dam is our lovely mare, Mossrose Ysabella, sired by the reining champion Montana Harvest. Bella is out of Whippoorwill Salus who was sired by the cutting champion, Californio. Performance Plus in this pedigree!! Athletic ability is no accident in the Morgans we breed. We are excited about Ridge's future and look forward to seeing what he can accomplish with his new owner.
 

Whippoorwill Capella

2010 Black Mare ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
October 2018 Capella went to her new home in Michigan. Thank You!
Capella was born on our farm, but bred by Mary Jean Vasiloff of Whippoorwill Morgans in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Mary Jean loved her and named her Capella, which is the brightest star in the constellation Auriga, the sixth brghtest in the night sky and the third brightest in the Northern celestial hemisphere. However, with the dispersal of the Whippoorwill Morgans herd, Mary Jean had to offer Capella for sale. I just couldn't let her leave our farm, so we bought her from Mary Jean. Capella has the most curious, fun loving personality and is into everything, just like her dam! Additionally, she has acquired the added grace and elegance of her dam, the beautiful black Whippoorill Halo who is sired by Sereno Dandy Vermont and out of the mortgage lifter mare, Whippoorwill Corona. Capella has the athletic ability we so value of her national champion reiner sire, Whippoorwill Newmoon. Like all of our Morgans, Capella has an excellent work ethic and tries hard to please. Capella is a goldmine of rare old blood. The perfect person for Capella came along, so we let her move to a new barn. We are happy she is bringing joy to someone else by being used a lot as well as being spoiled with lots of love and attention! We are kept entertained with updates of her latest adventures fueled by her never ending curiousty.

Mossrose Juneau

2017 Buckskin Gelding ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
September 2018 Jace went to his new home in Eastern Wisconsin. Thank You!
 
Jace is a handsome boy, another winning cross of Whippoorwill Newmoon and Mossrose Ysabella. We had a wonderful young lady working with Jace as a yearling that had a lot of experience handling & training youngsters. Jace came along quickly with her expert skills. The first day she mainly did obstacles with him. He took them all in stride & kept us wondering what to try next. He was nibbling on some grass when she went to get the blue tarp. From what she had experienced with the rattling milk jugs, bag of aluminum cans & rattling hula hoop, she knew he most likely wouldn't mind the tarp. She tossed it near him & then picked it up & put it on his back. Never once did he quit nibbling on the grass or move his feet. Just moved his ears & eyes in the direction of the tarp. We looked at each other & thought we better come up with something to keep him interested! He is a smart boy & keeps his people on their toes thinking up new things to do with him! We feel he is going to be stunning when he matures & will be a dynamite gelding to show & to use to promote the breed. He is going to turn heads wherever he goes.

Red Rose Stardancer

2003 Palomino Mare ~ 100% Foundation Bloodlines
Dancer is a stunning and exquisite Morgan mare. She stands an impressive 15.3H, big and bold, built sturdy and strong with 3 phenomenal gaits.  We really enjoyed Dancer over the years.  She was easy to train and a hard worker. Jane rode her in cattle sorting practices and she is up for the task. She gets right down on her hindquarters and can spin around quick as a cat. Her perfect balance of lightness and boldness make her a top performance horse. John used her for a ranch rodeo series and started working on heading off of her. She has been hauled plenty and even went to the NMRHA Extravaganza in Lincoln, Nebraska to compete in team sorting. An experienced rider would be thrilled to work with her, but she is also one we let visitors ride in our arena. She always tries hard to please & is a responsive, kind, gentle and sane mare. Anyone that has ever ridden her, gets off with a big smile & the comment "She's powerful!" I describe her as powerful, but always very composed.

Stardancer produced two fantastic fillies for us, Mossrose Glady Dancer and Mossrose Moondancer, both sired by Whippoorwill Newmoon.

Mossrose Iron River
April 2017 River went to his new home in New Hampshire. Thank You!
 
 
A handsome colt by multi-champion reiner, Whippoorwill Newmoon and out of Mossrose Ysabella. River was born May 29, 2016. River is a laid back and easy going colt. He is friendly and loves attention. I was surprised the first time I put a halter on him, it was like he already knew how to lead! He will be a really nice and relaxing riding horse. River's dam is an easy going and smooth riding mare. He is getting amazing color of brown with golden accents! Should mature to about 15H & make a most wonderful equine partner. All the best to River & his new owner!

Mossrose Moondancer
Spring of 2017 Moondancer will go to her new home in Arizona. Thank You!
   
A beautiful bay filly by reining champion, Whippoorwill Newmoon and out of Red Rose Stardancer. If you are interested in performance or using horses, this is one to keep an eye on! This filly is smart, solid and sane with a spark of attitude enough to get a job done! She comes from a proven money earning sire and dam. Her sire is finished in reining and driving. Her dam is started in heading for team roping and has been used in competetion for ranch rodeos and team sorting. Sire is 15+H and dam is 15.3H. This filly will be a big, stout, handy mare when she matures. Moondancer is a classic, old fashioned looking Morgan with the ability to excel in a variety of disciplines. Newmoon is a prime example of versatility and ability as is Stardancer. Stardancer is one of those rare Morgans that is really big - allover big!! - but her size doesn't slow her down as she is very agile and quick on her feet. Newmoon and Stardancer are both responsive working horses that any experienced rider would appreciate, but are also ones we trust with visitors at our farm that would like to ride. Moondancer is fun to watch at play as she stops on her hindquarters, rolls back so naturally and changes leads easily. She is a curious girl and loves attention. She has a lovely chiseled, typey head and big beautiful dark eyes. She is growing a thick mane, tail and forelock that is jet black and wavey. Moondancer is going to be a stunning mare at maturity that will stand out in any crowd. She will be one that will get you noticed! I am excited about Moondancer's future with her new owner!

Mossrose Glady Dancer
Fall of 2015 Glady went to her new home in Texas. Thank You!
   
Rich, deep red chestnut filly by reining champion, Whippoorwill Newmoon and out of Red Rose Stardancer. Definite performance and using horse prospect! This filly is bold, smart, solid and sane with a spark of attitude enough to get a job done! She comes from a proven money earning sire and dam. Her sire is finished in reining and driving. Her dam is started in heading for team roping and has done a ranch rodeo series and team sorting. Sire is 15+H and dam is 15.3H. This filly will be a big, stout, handy mare when she matures. Glady is a classic, old fashioned looking Morgan with the ability to excel in a variety of disciplines. Newmoon is a prime example of versatility and ability as is Stardancer. Stardancer is one of those rare Morgans that is really big - allover big!! - but her size doesn't slow her down as she is very agile and quick on her feet. Stardancer is a sensitive working horse for an experienced rider, but is also one we trust with visitors at our farm that would like to ride. Glady is very similar to Stardancer from what we have seen so far. She is fun to watch at play as she stops on her hindquarters and rolls back so naturally. I am excited about Glady's future being trained in the western disciplines. I wish Glady and her knew owner the very best!

Mossrose Californio King
Fall of 2015 Californio King went with his new owner to their home in Illinois. Thank You!
   
A handsome boy with old blood up close, 2010 gelding by reining champion Whippoorwill Newmoon and out of Whippoorwill Salus by Californio. He is quite a mover AND quite an athlete. He is handy and good on his feet, which we sure like in our working horses. He is very friendly, loves people and tries hard to please. He is versatile and will work for a variety of disciplines. He could easily be a western plesure horse with his fluid movement and naturally slower gait. However if you need a horse with gears, speed and a strong interest in cattle, he has those abilities just waiting to be developed as well. He is very comfortable to ride and easy to sit at the trot and lope. One of the best loping horses we have raised.
Rocket is the second "Mossrose Morgan" for his new owner. Rocket's new owner sent me the nicest email to share on this webpage:
I am now the proud owner of two Mossrose Morgan's. Mossrose Avalon came to our Farm as a four year old. He proved to be such a versatile , athletic and love-able horse. There are three riders in our family, myself, my daughter and granddaughter . It has always been a question of who was going to get to ride Avalon. So after three years we decided it was time to get another Morgan . Of course, we looked to Jane and John, it was our good fortune that Californio King, had just been put up for sale . We did not waste any time in going to see him. We bought him that weekend! I feel privileged to have these two awesome horses on our Farm . We will enjoy our Morgan's for many years to come or as my five year old grandson says " can we keep him forever" .

Mossrose Windfall
Fall of 2015 Windfall went to ShannonVale Morgans in Hungary. Thank You!
  
Windfall is a stunning mare by Triple S Chinook and out of Whippoorwill Salus. She is a 14.3H dappled palomino mare. Windfall was my main riding mare for a few years, so I had a hard time letting her go. We covered some miles trail riding and I started her in cutting and reining. She is very cowey and has an excellent work ethic. We wish ShannonVale Morgans the very best with Windfall.

Whippoorwill Goldusty
Winter of 2014 Goldusty went to White Pine Morgans in Idaho. Thank You!
  
Goldusty is a lovely daughter of Whippoorwill Newmoon and Whippoorwill Salus. She is a 15.1H palomino mare. Judy admired her on a visit to Mossrose Morgans and eventually ended up acquiring Goldusty. I am so happy for both of them!

Mossrose Blazin Cross
Fall of 2014 Blazin went with Bill to New Mexico. Thank You!
  
 
Blazin is such a beautiful mare. She has the conformation and looks that anyone would appreciate having in their herd. Blazin loves people and has an incredible work ethic. She is sensitive and tries so very hard to please. It was so touching for us to see the instant heartfelt connection between Bill and Blazin. We were immediately at ease and knew Bill was the perfect partner for Blazin. They have been enjoying long trail rides and enhancing their partnership in the arena as well.

Be a good boy my handsome Rojo!
Whippoorwill Daybreak
In 2008 went to Pat in Owego, New York. Thank You!
Davey stands 15-1/4H. He has plenty of substance and an easy going personality make him a pleasure to have around. He is solid black with a small roan star and thick, wavy mane, tail and forelock. He has excellent feet and legs and confirmation that is unmistakably Morgan.
 
We wish Pat and her family all the best with Davey!
Mossrose ZZ Hollywood - 2007 Colt
(Whippoorwill Daybreak x Gold Cross Miss Flicka)
In 2007, went to Ed in West Paducah, Kentucky. Thank You!
This colt is another deluxe athlete! Flicka's last stud colt was just like this one, phenomenal!! I can't say enough about this colt. From the beginning this colt has been dancing like the famous Lipizzaners in Vienna. He has been doing sliding stops and rollbacks like a reining horse. He can cover ground with an amazing lofty trot like a dressage horse. From the beginning, this colt has "sat down" on his hindquarters to stop. Hollywood is very friendly and shows some boldness. His sire is solid as a rock, bold and very easy to have around. This colt will look a lot like his sire in stature and substance. I am excited for Ed and look forward to watching this pair and what they will be doing in the future.
Mossrose Tanzanite
In 2006 went to Michele in Bristol, Connecticut. Thank You!
Black filly born April 15, 2006. Above picture taken as a yearling.  This filly is BIG and has plenty of substance!  She is by our stallion, Whippoorwill Daybreak and out of our beautiful mare, Gold Cross Miss Flicka.  This filly has a beautiful face along with a hind sock and unique star to add some flash.  She is put together right and has a smooth, floating trot.
Mossrose Regalia
In 2005 went to Debra in Warrior's Mark, Pennsylvania. Thank You!
Mossrose Regalia is a 1999 Primavera Valdez daughter. She is a sooty palomino color. Her mane, tail and forelock are a mix of red, black, grey and white hairs. Reg is doing great with her new rider Maggie (Debra's daughter)! They are learning dressage together.
Mossrose Xtravagance
In 2005 went to Larry and Kristi of Krila Morgans in Canada. Thank You!
Black filly born April 22, 2005. Above picture taken as a 2 year old.  Fancy, elegant, beautiful and as sweet as can be!  This filly is classy.  She is by Whippoorwill Daybreak and out of Gold Cross Miss Flicka.  This filly has her mother's beautiful head along with her father's friendly, willing personality and color.  She is put together right and has a breathtaking way of going.
Cattin Around Cowboy (Indy)
In 2005 went to Alison of Oronoco, Minnesota. Thank You!
This is a 1997 sorrel Quarter Horse gelding, Cattin Around Cowboy (Indy).  He is a 16H impressive hunk of a guy!  Most people that get up close to him can only smile and say "WOW!" This horse oozes with power, but is a gentle giant. What makes him so special is that you can have that power if you want it or Indy is perfectly happy to be Mr. Mellow. Indy's mother was the most powerful horse out of the roping box that John has ever ridden, with a willing heart as big as you will find.  Indy proves to be following in her footsteps.   Indy and his brother Puck, shown below, both have an extra gear above most horses we have seen.  Both geldings power off their hindquarters to an amazing speed.  Not only is Indy powerful and fast, but he is a super mover and could make it big in the dressage and jumping arena as well.

Indy is by the stallion Cowboy Medley (Jet A Van X Medley Time by Easy Jet) and out of the mare Fiddlers Cat by Fiddler's Choice by Otoe. Fiddlers Cat is out of Yellow Cat Bar 2 by Bold Dancer.

Cat's Last Cowboy (Puck)
In 2005 went to Kari in Colfax, Wisconsin. Thank You!
Puck is a 2002 sorrel Quarter Horse gelding. Puck is a full brother to the above horse, Cattin' Around Cowboy.
 
Mossrose Triumphant

Mossrose Triumphant is amazing! Many people claimed he may be the best son of Sunup Neptune. The first time my dressage instructor saw Turbo, her mouth dropped open and with a huge smile she said, "That is the most gorgeous horse I have seen in a long time!" 

Rosita Hamar of Shropshire England is the proud new owner of Triumphant.  Ms. Hamar is Europe's largest sport horse breeder with homebred Morgan stock having been top National Champions in Open Competition.  A future of dressage, eventing, jumping and breeding are in the plans for this colt.  After spending 2 years raising Turbo, he is what Mossrose Morgans strives for - a loving personality, willing attitude with athletic ability to take you to the top!  Turbo has got it all and will be a stallion to watch for in the future!

We are so happy Turbo is with such a special owner. Rosita is quite a knowledgable horsewoman, as well as a person of honesty and integrity

 

Mossrose Penny

Prairiehill Morgans in Cooperstown, North Dakota chose Mossrose Penny for a mount for their children. Penny has gone on several trail rides and has been in a parade with the Motter's. She will also be going to some shows in the future. She is a sweet mare that tries hard to please. I wish Susan and her children many happy years with Penny

Mossrose Snazzy

Snazzy is a 2000 mare out of Jacque's Lor-Don-Lin and by Triple S Nugget.

"I purchased Snazzy on March 2, 2001 at the age of 8 months.  She is a beautiful and proud filly with a great attitude who is very forgiving of my  lack of equine expertise.  She has a trusting, friendly heart.  Though it didn't start out on friendly terms Snazzy has made the best of friends with Maggie, my black lab.  In the three short months I've owned her she has won the hearts of everyone in the family, even my daughter-in-law who swore they  would move if I bought a horse.  She is a vision of gracefulness to watch as  she lopes across the paddock.  She is quick to learn and knows how to communicate her thoughts to people.  She is spirited, determined, intelligent and curious.  I couldn't find better words to describe my  satisfaction with Snazzy or Mossrose Morgans.  I must also comment on Jane who has gone beyond breeding a fine filly.  Jane has been there to answer every question I've had, providing a wealth of  knowledge on how to properly raise Snazzy and help develop her into a joy to spend time with."

Carlyle, Illinois

MOSSROSE OPENING VERSE

This big bay gelding is pictured here as an 8 year old.  He is the fastest learning colt that I have raised.  He is by Sail On Command, a Mad River Sailor grandson, and the mare Jacque's Lor-Don-Lin. 

"Spike" is a joy to ride with his smooth ground covering trot and a big rocking chair canter.  He is currently being shown hunt seat, dressage, jumping and eventing by his owners in Ohio and from what I hear, winning nearly every class he is entered in. Keep up the good work!
 

 
SASSY SUE DOCUMENT  (Quarter Horse mare)

Trig is a 1990 palomino mare.  She is a finished heading and heeling horse and is currently doing barrels and break-away roping on the Little Britches rodeo circuit.  She is easy to have around and a pleasure to own. 
 

JACQUE'S LOR-DON-LIN

This 1985 dark chestnut mare was one of my first broodmares. 

She is not broke, but just watching her move in the pasture she gives the image of a great athlete.  She can leap over big logs and tall fences from a standstill.  Loralie has a lot of fire and attitude and is also a great
mother.  Every one of Loralie's foals has been quality, whether the sire is
of old government breeding or of the western working family. 

Loralie was sold in March of 2002 to Scott and Cheryl of Seguin, Texas.  I wish them the best of success with this broodmare.

CARMIDA MIST

Carmida Mist is a super mare.  She produced great babies for me.  Misty's cheerful attitude and constant "talking" will be missed around our barn.

MOSSROSE RISING SUN

1999 buckskin mare.  Racy is a well built mare with a gorgeous head like her mother's.  Racy is by Sunup Neptune and out of Carmida Mist.  Racy resides in Lincoln, California.  Her owners are wonderful people and I wish them the best with this mare!

JACQUE'S MR MONTAQUE

This horse was the first Morgan I owned.  I bought him at 18 months of age and was so impressed with the horse.  He was easy to train and bonded in time and became my best friend.  It was funny, he almost always knew what I was thinking.  Monte was sold to Eunice of Decorah, Iowa in the fall of his 2 year old year and I have regretted it ever since.  Eunice writes me once in a while and tells me each time that Monte (now renamed Buddy) is her best friend and seems to almost talk to her at times.  She uses him for Western, English, and trail riding.  Monte is a horse I honestly miss having around and was the start of my love for the Morgan breed.  He is out of my old mare, Reverie's Rose Marie, and by a Quizkid and Westcrest Silver grandson.

MOSSROSE FLAIRE HAWK

This black gelding is Rimlo Black Valiant breeding on the top and bottom sides of his pedigree.  I bought Hawk when he was 3 months old.  He was a handful as a stud colt, but once gelded he became my best friend. 
 

I started him riding as a 2 year old and had him broke to drive as a 3 year old.  He is a great all around horse.  He will do anything that is asked of him.  I took him to a few shows to enter him in hunt seat and driving classes.  In our first driving class (the first for both of us!) he took first place out of 9 entries.  I felt like we didn't deserve it since the rest of the folks had been driving most of their lives, but Hawk did the best job that day!!  The other drivers were giving me a lot of tips before the class started while we were warming up, so I do need to credit them also.  It was an amazing day for Hawk and I!  This horse will also go all day on a trail ride and never tire.  He had been used for team penning 3 times and roped off of a few times.  He really seemed to take to cattle - he wanted to get after them in a big way! 
 

I sold Hawk as a 6 year old to be paired up with another black gelding for a man in Denver, Colorado who wanted a team for him and his wife to enjoy driving.  The new owner really likes his team of Morgans.  He drives them a lot and claims they will go anywhere for him.  I am happy that Hawk is still being a good boy - I would expect nothing less from my old friend.

MOSSROSE OH SO RED

Red is a bright chestnut gelding shown here as a 2 year old.  He is out of my old brown Townshend Doubletake/Windcrest Slendor mare and by a Mad River Sailor grandson.  What a winning attitude this colt has!  Riding him was so much fun!  He was always excited to explore new places with ears forward and moving along at a brisk walk.  He is now happily owned by Sam and Kandi of Beecher City, Illinois.  They use him for pure pleasure out on the trail.  He is also quiet enough for their kids to ride, which makes them very happy with their decision to purchase Red.

MOSSROSE PHENOMENON
This is a black colt by Edelweiss Magic and out of my old mare, Reverie's Rose Marie.  He was born to be somebody - always standing proud!  What a gorgeous colt!  Phen was sold to Les and his daughter, Donette, from Manito, Illinois as a yearling.  The spring of his 2 year old year, just before he was scheduled to go to a trainer to start his western pleasure training, Phen died in a pasture accident.  I know his owners, as well as myself, feel the hurt and are aware of the loss of this great athlete and wonderful friend.
STREAK OF SPIRIT

This mare is out of a Thoroughbred mare I used to have to show hunt seat and a Rimlo Black Valiant Morgan stallion.  People always comment on her beautiful head and loving disposition.  I started her as a 2 year old in 1996 and sold her that summer to, then 14 years old, Amanda in Holmen, Wisconsin.  Amanda used Spirit in 4-H and even rode her in a parade.

Spirit has been a great friend and inspiration to Amanda.  Amanda calls me every once in a while to tell me how much Spirit means to her and how she has helped Amanda make it through her teen age years!  Horses are wonderful for the soul.

Prairie Rose Stargate
I decided to name this smokey black 1998 filly, Sidney, after the town she was born in.  I bought her from Mike and Cookie Miller of Sidney, Montana.  She has a lot of the qualities I have been looking for to work into my quest for an excellent herd of western working Morgans.  She is by reining stallion Tru West Pure Prairiesmoke.  Sidney carries bloodlines I haven't worked with before, so I am very excited about starting her next spring and seeing what she can do.

We lost Sidney on 2/15/2000.  We shall miss her.
