like to use all of our mares. We want horses that work well, are easy to
train, and quick to please. A horse that does not have what we call "bottom" will
not produce colts that have endurance. It is important that mares have as
good as qualities as the sire. We are working to preserve some of the old
lines of the LU Ranch and the Cross Ranch. We invite you to view the
bloodlines of these older mares. We
are also bringing in some different lines to develop some qualities that
are athletic, as well as give a good disposition. These decisions
are based from years of observation as well as talking to some of the old
timers who have worked with Morgans for 40 years or more. We
have some mares who go back to the LU Sheep Ranch of over 60 years
ago. We
have several older mares that go directly back to Morgan Horse Association
#6400 and #6401. While color is a plus we don't sacrifice conformation
and disposition for color. S-B Pierre Noire goes back to Justin Morgan in 12 or 13 generations depending on which line you might trace. Some of these mares are even closer to Justin Morgan than that!
