Dollar is an interesting horse that I have enjoyed owning. Like many of the early greys, he is not what you would call a very typey Morgan, but he did have some things to offer as a breeding stallion. His pedigree is a mixture of Lippitt and Government with a small amount of Brunk thrown in the mix. In my breeding program he was part of my "Brunk/Government Cross" experiment. In years past, the Brunk/Government cross was praised as being the magic formula for breeding sport horses. As an individual Dollar offers substance and grit. He has a determined attitude and a frame that was built to take hard work and come out sound on the other end. My goals for Dollar were to breed him to some typier mares that may require some more depth in the body and more bone in the legs. Dollar is also a bit short in the hip, but he offers good straight legs with more correct angles further down the hind leg. His movement lacks animation in the field, but under saddle he can really turn your head.

Dollar was gelded in the fall of 2011. He is much happier and enjoys a herd life. He is quite well broke and we have started using him here on the ranch. He shows good potential as a using cow horse. He has a fantastic ground covering walk that can really take you somewhere! He is very soft on the bit and easily moves laterally. He is quiet in the cow herd while checking pairs but can also turn on the speed when needed!

Suede is my "unicorn" (impossible creature to find). I was on the hunt for a horse that carried the dun gene, but I wanted it in the body style and bloodlines that I was looking for. I searched for a long time. I saw many nice dun Morgans, but I could not find the bloodlines I was looking for. I almost gave up when I happened to be looking at Nancy Castle's Dun Morgans webpage and noticed an entry near the bottom of her database of dun Morgans. It said "TruWest Silver Suede, 2008 stud colt, smoky grulla"! I couldn't believe it! I called up my good friend Bobbi Blankenship of TruWest Morgans in Glendive, MT immediately!

Suede is a son of the wonderful S Bar B Pierre Noire who was the last son of H-Saracen who was the last son of Chingadero. Bingo! I had my bloodlines in a stud colt who not only carried the dun gene but also the cream gene. Bobbi was gracious enough to let me lease Suede, and although I was unable to purchase him at the time, I will always keep my eye on this handsome fella, and when the time is right, I will hopefully be able to make him a permanent part of my breeding program.

Suede is located in Thermopolis, WY at Harvey Siedel's Bar Non Morgans. Harvey was the long time human partner to Suede's sire, S Bar B Pierre Noire. I am sure that Harvey will be very pleased with this wonderful colt. He has a lot of growing to do and a measurement from the middle of his knee to coronet band shows he will mature at 16 hands.
