Home of: Sc Morgans Island Labradors and Island
Fainters North Hero, Vermont - (802) 372-3080 Dedicated
breeders of Colored Morgan Sporthorses, Labrabor Retrievers & Rare
Tennessee Fainting Goats
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.
Due
to the economy and our work load both on and off the farm, we have decided
we need to cut our herd numbers. Due to this decision, we are offering some
horses for sale who we NEVER dreamed of selling. Most are foundation bred and
carry some hard to find bloodlines. This is a group of nice, easy to handle
horses. Some are trained and some are just broodmares or young stock. All
are easy keepers and live outside year round with sheds and wind
blocks. They are an extremely healthy group and that have no physical or
mental issues. All horses sell with current vaccines, worming, hoof care and a
coggins. We are open to reasonable offers. Package pricing is available.Transportation can easily be
arranged.
2009 started with
an Equine business trip to Brazil. Both our Vet, Dr. Phil Van Harreveld -
Of the Vermont Large Animal Clinic - and myself, went. Our purpose was to
promote the Vermont Equine industry in South America. While
there, we met with numerous horse breeders of various breeds; including a few
Morgan owner/breeders. A lot of time was spent in the Sao Joao Boa
Vista area with Dr. Joao Batista (Bimbo). Bimbo is known for producing the
first embryo foal in Brazil. His knowledge of embryo transfer is
extensive. Embryo work, is all he does through his clinic. Both
Dr. Phil & I were honored that he spent so much time with us. The
knowledge we brought home to Vermont, will be used help promote future
equine industry in other countries. We are continuing on with this into 2010.
Check back for updates.
We have been very successful
in flushing and freezing embryos from our mares. Some of these
embryos will be offered for sale but, most will be put on "ice"
for the future. We feel it's very important to save as much of the original
Morgan genetics as possible. Freezing for the future far out weighs producing a
bunch of foals every year. We will continue to produce a few foals but, not as
many have we have in the past. We need time to ride and enjoy what has been
produced!

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...............
