Origins<\/h3>\n
In the end Phillips looked to older bloodlines, with fewer crosses and payed dearly for them. He carefully bred these animals for 17 years, when suddenly he lost most of his herd during a violent storm. Sadly he died 5 years later in 1927 and his remaining herd was dispersed. Word of this traveled to a man named Robert Lippitt Knight who had an appreciation for rare breeds. He took a select few animals from the Phillips herd and began his own breeding program. <\/p>\n
Again a lifetime of breeding was dissolved in 1962, when Knight died and his herd was dispersed at auction. Most of them were snatched up by enthusiasts and in 1971 a group of them gave this unique strain the name Lippitt Morgan to recognize Knight’s contribution.<\/p>\n
The Lippitt is one of the purest strains of Morgan<\/a> that can be found today and retains the strong physical characteristics of the breed. <\/p>\n While not listed in the DAD-IS, the Equus Survival Trust lists them as critical with an estimated global population of less than 1000.<\/p>\n Average height 14.1 – 15.1 hands<\/p>\n Head is short and wide between the eyes Willing and easy to work with <\/p>\n chestnut<\/a> | black<\/a> | bay<\/a><\/p>\n Riding horse * all links open in a new window<\/small> Peppercorn Morgans<\/a>Features<\/h3>\n
