Mossrose Triumphant
Mossrose Triumphant is the best
looking Morgan we have ever raised. 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 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."

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
Petersen 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 at
New Hope Ranch in Lincoln, California. Her new 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 Veeder 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 Durbin 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 Miller and
his daughter, Donette Waller, 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 Spangler of 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. |
