Whippoorwill Newmoon

We are excited to announce the arrival of Whippoorwill Newmoon to our farm! We have admired Newmoon since the first time we saw him, so to be able to have this amazing stallion livng here is . . . well, I can't quite come up with a word to describe it. We are still pinching ourselves!!

Whippoorwill Newmoon is a classic, 100% foundation stallion of correct type with timeless Morgan beauty, brains and athleticism. He is a deep, dark bay and stands 15-1/4H tall.

The above picture is Newmoon being ridden without a saddle or a bridle. As well as Newmoon's Grand National Open Reining Championships in 1994 and 1996, he has won many championships in reining on the West coast. Newmoon has also been schooled in dressage and is an excellent driving horse.

Whippoorwill Morgans have been bred since 1945 for true Morgan type, soundness through excellent feet and legs, intelligence, kind disposition, athletic ability, and above all - versatility.  Mossrose Morgans has always had these same goals for their breeding program since it's beginning in 1994, but we have been working at getting a more consistent type.  The combined blood of Whippoorwill Duke and Blackwood Correll has produced top level champions in reining, dressage and combined driving in major open competition for Whippoorwill Morgans.  With Whippoorwill Daybreak and mares of Whippoorwill Duke and Californio breeding, we are well on our way to producing top notch Morgans that have that consistent type we have been searching for along with all the other qualities it takes to be the best!

Here is a brief history of Whippoorwill Duke and Blackwood Correll:

Whippoorwill Duke (Squire Burger X Diana-Mansfield) was a 15.1H chestnut stallion foaled in 1952.  He was sound, sane, gentle, athletic and beautiful.  Duke was a show horse and a fun trail riding horse.  As well as being an ambassador for the breed, he sired 88 registered Morgan foals.

Squire Burger (Juzan X Nella) was a 14.3H chestnut stallion, bred by Joseph C. Brunk and foaled in 1938.  this lovely stallion was what a Morgan horse should be:  solid, sensible, sweet and sound as well as a supreme athlete.  Squire Burger won races under saddle (quarter mile record of 22 seconds) against the brand new breed: the Quarter Horse.  Squire also was the Arizona State Roping Champion.  In New England, he was hunted under sidesaddle, was a National Morgan winner in hand, under saddle and in jumping.

Blackwood Correll (Red Correll X Lady Rockwood) was foaled in 1965.  He was black and matured to 15.3H.  Blackwood was a working ranch horse and was never shown.  He was a magnificent horse of substance, a bold, fearless, sensible disposition and a sense of humor.  Blackwood has 6 close-up crosses to Winterest in his pedigree.

Winterset was foaled in 1922 in Iowa.  He was a classic black Morgan stallion of ancient Morgan type  He was heavily line bred to the fabulous Justin Morgan grandson, Black Hawk.  Among his best known descendants was Red Correll, foaled in 1940.
