"I do not propose to write the history of the Morgan horses, although to do so would be like writing the history of kings. Of Justin Morgan alone, it can be said that he founded a family. There have been other horses of note and whose eminence was well deserved, but they passed away and left no sons like themselves to be distinctively theirs. Not one built a throne and founded a nation whose population were abundant and all his children. But Justin Morgan did this thing. He stands the progenitor of a mighty race, spread over all the land from Maine to California and wherever you find a Morgan horse....whether in city or country, East or West, North or South...you know that he is a Morgan horse. One glance is enough. Color, shape, style, limbs, feet, head, all suggest the little horse from which he lineally descended...Justin Morgan. How other bloods bowed in submission to his! Crossed with twenty families, he dominated over them all. No matter what the dam might be, the colt was sure to look like the sire. There were the same feet and legs, and depth of chest, and haunches swollen with muscles, the same proud curve to the neck, prominent eye, quick ear, full front, and muzzle as a sweated racer's. Men say he had no pedigree. He had. His pedigree was written the form and spirit of his children. The proofs of his pedigree were not BACK of him, but IN him; and they were read in living characters in his three sons...Sherman, Woodbury, and Bulrush - and in all the successive generations of his descendants, even down to the present time." ~ William H. H. Murray

CC's progress in Alberta, Canada
Jessica who has OGO Sellman Hill and Co is preparing CC for packing. CC's introduction to the cinch and the pack saddle was completely uneventful - just how Jessica likes it. CC has adjusted well to the Alberta, Canada winter climate. The picture of Jessica with CC in the previous post was taken by Jessica's oldest 5 year old daughter. GOOD JOB !
Jessica says CC remains very friendly and respectful through all her training processes so far. She plans all sort of activities for CC this winter as the weather allows.
Thanks to Butte Morgans for the update

I worked for Sid Spencer in the 1970's when Bandido was there. What an amazing women and horse.
I was only 9 years old, when I started riding with her. I grew up at Lopez Lake. She started the riding stable there. I would go to the ranch and get the horses ready and work all day with her. I was there until 1976-77.
She was a gruff women, but I learned a lot from her and her mom. One of her best friends worked with us, Rose Pein. She loved her Morgans.
I wish I would have paid more attention to what she was trying to teach me about the bloodlines and breeding. It is great to see that what she loved is still going after all this time.
