North
Hero, Vermont - (802) 372-3080 Dedicated
breeders of Rare Colored Morgan Sport Horses&Performance Horses
SC
Morgans is located in the Lake Champlain Valley region of
Vermont on the small island of North Hero. We are mainly a breeding
farm striving to preserve and produce large bodied "Old" style Morgans
with a splash of COLOR! Our horses are versatile enough for the Sport
horse world, eye catching for the show ring, yet quiet enough for the
family friend. Our bloodlines are a rich blend of old Brunk and Gov't
breeding. Our whole herd carries some very old, hard to find genetics.
We strive to preserve some very Rare Jubilee King lines and are
blending them with Red Correll, certain Flyhawk and other 'old
family' lines. Good dispositions and work ethics seem to come down
through these lines.
Today, we are branching out into the world of reining. In the early
spring of 2004, we purchased the World Champion reining stallion, ABCM
Liz's Dreamwalker as Sherry's personal competition mount. They had a
great first year and won: 2004 NMRHA Rookie Championship
Title, 2004 AMHA Western Working Championship, 2004 VMHA Open
Competition - Reining - Award. Dreamwalker will always hold a special
place in our hearts. He's a wonderful stallion and a great ride!
2007 came in like a warm spring breeze but; along with it came some
huge changes. We made the decision to cut back on our herd in order to
have more time to promote, show and build a new house. Some of our best
'Never to be for Sale' horses were posted on
our sales page. To date all these wonderful horses have found great new
homes. We thank everyone who purchased a horse and wish them the best
of luck with their "Island-Bred" Morgan.

Along with our Morgan horses,
we raise a few wonderful AKC Labrador Retrievers who help out on the
farm and compete in AKC Agility trials. We try to have at least one
quality litter of pups per year, which we offer for sale. This years
litter (2007) came early (Dec. 2006). We decided to keep one female pup
from this litter due to the sire's bloodlines. Look for this fancy
black girl - Island Breeze - on our dog page. She's growing
into a very nice girl!
Island Uno NA, NAJ, OJ -
started her very limited 2007 Agility season in March. In June, Uno won
the High Point Labrador Retriever Award (JWW) at the Greater Boston
Labrador Retriever Agility trial! In 2006, at this same Boston agility
trial, she won High Point Labrador in Standard. Way to go Uno!
We will be expecting pups
sometime in the early spring of 2008 from Island Uno and Mistyfield
March To The Beat. It's been a hard decision for me to make as Uno
& I love trialing together. While Uno is off doing the 'mommy
thing', her sister Island Harley - who's currently training
- will be making her debut in agility.
We offer horses for sale, AKC
Labrador Retrievers (Yellow & Black), stallions at stud, full
equine AI services, and an equine mobile semen freezing service with
both storage and shipping available. This freezing service is open to
all equine breeds!
Give us a call if you're in the area. The coffee/tea is always on!
This site is dedicated to the Fond
memory of my friend and Mentor, Dr. Lowell Hughes. (April
4, 1928- Nov. 5, 2001)
Dr. Hughes with his wonderful stallion, Patchett
Hill (Easter Vermont x Starlette B) Dr.
Hughes was the founder of Caduceus Morgans in North
Liberty, Iowa. He was known for producing large Black
Morgan Sporthorses of Mid-western and Brunk breeding.
He had a knack for finding well bred horses that were
tucked away on lost roads and in forgotten barns.
His
favorite stallion being the late, Wyoming Flyhawk (Domino
Joe x Lily Black), actually stood at Reed Allen's Ranch
in Lander Wy. along with my deceased foundation stallion,
H-Ken (Kenfield x Muchacha). I guess it was written,
even back then, that I would eventually meet Dr. Hughes.
Our taste in horseflesh were quite similar.
Dr.
Hughes was a very kind and generous man who was always
willing to take a new comer under his wing. This is what
he did for me. I miss my friend and mentor. Words can
never describe how I feel or tell the depth of my loss.
I will take both the knowledge he gave, and the
horses he produced and carry on into an uncertain future
marked by his footsteps. God Bless until we meet again...............
