 Paragraph
Paragraph was considered to be a tall mare for her time,
standing 15 hands
Paragraph was a golden chestnut mare, with a silver mane and
tail. She was bred by J. C. Brunk of Cotton Hill Farm in Springfield, IL, but spent
nearly all of her life at the farm of Frances Bryant. Foaled June 19, 1933, she was
sired by Jubilee King, out of the mare, Nella. Both granddams of Paragraph were
similarly bred, one being a daughter of Knox Morgan and the other was his
granddaughter. Paragraph's pedigree is the result of many generations of careful
selection and inbreeding by Mr. Brunk, who was truly a master breeder of Morgans.
Paragraph was described by Mrs. Bryant as being a
truly "quality" mare, with an excellent rear end, a good
croup, and nice tail set. From Jubilee King,
she inherited good legs and feet. She was compact,
with a short back. Her way of going was elegant.
Her head was nice enough, but not dishy. Mr.
Bryant once noted that although Paragraph was a bit on
the "snorty" side, and often pretended to see things
that would make her act as though she should shy, she
was really a terrific trail horse. Eve Oakley also
admired this superior mare and described her as being
well built, solid, and straight moving. |

Paragraph was an excellent broodmare,
producing 15 superb offspring, all for Mrs. Bryant. She passed on all of her
superior traits, and was felt to cross well with each stallion she was bred to and to
bring improvement to each of them. Some of her most notable get include: Supersam,
Cavendish, Mansphyllis, Springfield, Precious Ashmore, and Prudence Ashmore. These,
and all of her other descendents were known, among other things, for their excellent
temperaments. |

Cavendish
(Jubilee's Courage x

Jack Davis and Red
Vermont |
| Bred by J. C. Brunk of Springfield, IL, Red
Vermont was foaled in 1934. He was sired by Jubilee King out of Daisy Knox.
The classic look of the Red Vermonts is a round, deep body, with necks set high on well
laid back shoulders. Many people of the day considered Red Vermont to the be finest
Morgan stallion in the country. He was purchased by Jack Davis and brought to
California. Mr. Davis, who previously had a large string of palominos, was
approached by a Morgan owner who told him that his palominos would easily be beaten by a
true Morgan stallion. After he saw the quality of the Morgan, he wrote to the Morgan
Horse Club, telling them he wished to find a dark chestnut Morgan stallion to purchase.
He went on to say that the horse must have flaxen in its mane and tail, sloping
shoulders, flat croup, a fine head and fine bone. He desired the action to be such
that the hind legs were picked up as high as the front legs and he wanted the walk to be
clean and snappy. He was also looking for plenty of animation, but did not want the
horse to appear to be climbing a ladder. The Club answered him, saying they knew of
only one horse to fit this description -- and that was Red Vermont, who was owned by Mr.
Grace Woods, of Woodstock, Vermont. Mrs. Woods wanted $5000 for the horse, but when
she found out Mr. Davis' uncle was a good friend of her father, she reduced the price to
$1000. Quite a bargain!
Red Vermont produced 67 outstanding sons and daughters, including Easter Vermont, Lucky
Vermont, Domino Vermont, Ginger Vermont, Sireson, and Jubilee Vermont. |

Seal
brown Upwey Ben Don grandson,15.1 hands. Quasar was a powerful yet
balanced mover. He had three lovely gaits; especially his outstanding
collected canter and extended walk. He was very prepotent
for classic type, dark bay or brown color, and excellent disposition. He
was linebred to Ben Don, with an outcross to Lippitt through his maternal
grandmother, the beautiful Lippitt Duplicate. Quasar contributed to many
of our breedings because we found his beauty, grace, type, and temperament
to be qualities we loved. |
