Dean Mt Mares at Vintage Morgans

In 1997, as I looked for mares suitable to restart the Vintage Farm breeding program, I discovered a 5-year-old mare and fell in love with her movement and her soul. The owners graciously agreed to sell the mare to me. This mare is Dean Mt Fine Lace (Triton Applause x Dean Mt Merry Belle). Later I was able to purchase two of her full sisters, Dean Mt Nikkoletta and Dean Mt Cherry Delite. While these mares are individuals, they each have that serene kindness that I saw and admired in Lacey. They are calm and yet highly responsive. They are also excellent mothers, teaching their foals their calm and trusting ways. I owe much to their breeder, Joan Crice.

Dean Mt Mares extended pedigree

I enjoy trail riding and expect all my broodmares to be good trail horses.
On the left, I am riding Dean Mt Fine
Lace and leading Dean Mt Cherry Delite.

1992 dark chestnut mare

An ideal broodmare with a Cadillac ride.
Lacey has been shown lightly in dressage at schooling shows with scores as high as 71%.
She is a steady driving horse and the most comfortable ride on the trail. She has
consistently produced better than herself.
Vintage Firebird, her daughter by Farceurs
Falcon Morgan, is being retained as a riding
horse and broodmare.

1994 dark chestnut mare

I have not had much opportunity to ride Nikki, but she has excelled at her broodmare duties. She is a full-bodied, well-muscled mare with exceptionally sound leg conformation.

Nikkoletta had a bay filly on May 18, 2008. She is SOLD.

Nikki is FOR SAL E.

1996 chestnut mare

Cherry has been shown lightly in dressage and is continuing her education as a driving horse. She calmly accepts new environments and is excellent on the trail.

Cherry is FOR SALE.

Of course, the measure of a broodmare is the quality of foal she produces. The three sisters have been bred to several different stallions. The foals have uniformly exhibited the calm responsive temperament I cherish in the mares. The foals are also substantially built and athletically talented. See the foals from these mares below and also on the Sold Horses page.

2001 bay mare

Firebird is being retained as a broodmare and riding horse. She has free, springy movement and a very willing disposition. See her first foal, Vintage Ladyhawke below.

Update: Firebird had a bay filly by Sir Danes Sire Storm on May 21, 2008

This filly combines the strength and athletic ability of her sire with the grace and calm disposition of her dam. She exemplifies and fulfills the goals of the Vintage breeding program. A full sibling to this filly is expected in 2008. The 2008 foal will be FOR SALE.
