More on the reason behind the need...

My wife and I raise babies, currently horses that were already in the world - or on their way - when we found them. We will raise them to be awesome horses, and hope to sell them. One day, we hope to pick the stud for our mare, and raise another. But here's the thing: At least one of the two young horses we're raising now will be safely into a new, excellent home before we bring another horse into the world. If they never sell, we'll never raise another. We feel our brood mare has the conformation and disposition to add to the breed, but even so, we won't breed her and then HOPE we can find a buyer for the foal. We'll raise any horse that comes into our care as though we're going to keep it forever - and we will keep them forever, if necessary. No horse we raise will ever go to a bad home, or get sold cheap just to get rid of them. We're not in it for the money. We want the challenge of bringing excellent Morgans into the world - one horse at a time. There's no money in it - just all the satisfaction in the world.

The problem I think comes from people trying to make money at it. We just like horses, and the horsemen and women we meet along the way....

These are our youngsters.

Kachi is a 2 y/o filly, trained in all 20 of John Lyons' "Bringing up baby" ground training steps. She's 14.3hh, about 850 lbs. She ought to mature at about 15.0 - 15.1. Sire and Dam were both bigger than 15.1...

Sunny is a 10 m/o gelding with excellent ground manners and a love of the round pen
