Gone but not Forgotten
Century Spitfire - Chestnut Mare, 1987 - 2010
( Wham Bam Command x Legacys Radiant Joy )
Looking at "Spit" one quickly realized you were in the presence of Morgan royalty. She was a daughter of Wham Bam Command and possessed triple Trophy pedigree. Century Spitfire was the perfect horse; gentle, and loving.
Her show career came sharply to an end shortly after taking the Junior Horse English Pleasure Championship at Northampton with Joan Lorie at the reins,in her fourth year. The quick end to her show career was the result of an injury sustained in competition at Jubilee in August of that same year.
Though only 23, "Spit" would set her head, and wave her tail, to let you know that she was her father's (Wham Bam Command) daughter.
Though only with us for a short five years, "Spit" was very much the star among the younger horses in the herd. Sadly, we lost her on July 6, 2010 from a ruptured kidney. In true "Spit" form she never complained...At the time of her death, she was in foal to JDS Legal Enforcer. The addition of JDS Spirit of the Century, "Remi", can not be considered a substitue for "Spit" but Remi's pedigree is 3/4 of what would have been Spit's foal....we chose "Remi" for his close breeding to "Spit." "Remi" has certainly proven to be a wonderful addition...he has Spit's coloring, is gentle and inquisitive, loves people, and is smart.
H. A. Kitty Harris - Mare, 1971 - 2005
( Bald Mt. Fire Glow x Williams Wales Lady )
"Kitty" was our very first Morgan. Purchased in January, 1974, "Kitty" was brought to Long Island from Sterling, NY. She resided at Holly Hill Farm, St. James, NY through the summer of 1987. At that time, we placed both "Kitty" and Cathleen on a farm in Bath, NY, where she remained until her death on August, 3, 2005.
"Kitty" and Marion were favorites on the trails of the Weld Preserve in Nissequogue, Long Island. And, with Joe on the Carriage Trails in the preserve and on the roadways in the Incorporated Village of Nissequogue. Her flaxen mane and tail, white blaze, and white socks made her a stand out whether under saddle or in harness. Her gentle demeanor, made her among the first Morgans to be used in a therapy program with a Down Syndrome adult.
"Kitty" was of old style royal Morgan breeding. Even at 34yrs of age, there was no doubt that she was a Morgan.
Seaway Admiral - Black Gelding, 1992 - 2008
( Immortal Command x Saddleback Superette )
"Willie" will forever be remembered as "the black Morgan that could do just about anything!" He enjoyed a long standing career in the show arena excelling in the Western and Hunter Pleasure divisions. As a weanling and yearling he was shown In-Hand by Lynn and Kathleen Peeples.
Tragically, "Willie" was mortally wounded in a fall and was humanely euthanized on December 2, 2008.
