Almost without exception, Lippitt
Ashmore passed on his beautiful classic head to his colts |

Lippitt
Ashmore, the 7th offspring of Lippitt Sally Moro, and the 15th of his sire
Lippitt Ethan Ash, was foaled May 5, 1952. His dam was a beautiful
mare, and was considered one of the highest quality mares by her owner and
breeder, Robert Lippitt Knight. The cross of Sally Moro and Ethan Ash had
been a successful one previously, producing Lippitt Royalton Ashbee,
Lippitt Royalton Phoebe, and Lippitt Ethan Ann |

 Mrs. Bryant and "Tommy" were out on
the roads of South Woodstock in summer and winter |
|
Lippitt Ashmore
was sold to Mrs. Robert R. Stoner, Jr., of Camp Hill,
PA, when only 46 days of age. Here, he suffered a
severe viral attack that affected his kidneys, but he
eventually recovered.
In 1956, Lippitt Ashmore (or Tommy, as he
was known) was purchased by Mrs. Frances Bryant. For many years, Mrs. Bryant and
Tommy enjoyed the countryside around South Woodstock, VT, under saddle and in
harness. She said he was her most trustworthy horse.
He produced a total of 55
registered offspring, and almost without exception, they all had his beautiful head,
classic type, and wonderful disposition. Then, at the age of 16, Tommy was retired
and stood his last season at stud. The illness he had suffered in his younger years
caught up to him and caused his joints to enlarge and become quite painful. He passed away
in July of 1974, following a severe attack of emphysema. Notable among his get (all
having the "Ashmore" suffix) were Prudence and Patience (from Paragraph) and
Libby, Dolly, and Damon (from Spring Darling).

| Damon Ashmore was one of 10 produce of the
Lippitt Ashmore and Spring Darling golden cross. He was sold as a weanling to Richard G.
Progulske, with only one registered offspring (Damon Premier, out of
Conette) while he was
with this owner. Mrs. Bryant purchased Damon back from Mr. Progulske in 1975.
Damon went on to sire a total of 33 get for Mrs. Bryant and others after his return to her
ownership. The last two foals sired by Damon were
Coreen Ashmore
(Coretta of Quietude) and
Shane Ashmore (Woodstock Shawna Lee). The last
thing that Mrs. Bryant did before her death in 1991 was sit on the mounting block to watch
these two foals as they were being led in from the field with their mothers. Damon
was euthanized in October of 1991, at the age of 27, according to Mrs. Bryant's wishes,
although he was still in good health at this advanced age. |
