"Lippitt Morgans are small,
hardy horses that trace back
on all lines of their pedigree
to 25 foundation horses who
were chosen by the founding
Lippitt Club members as
possessing original type
(true to Justin Morgan).
These descendants carry a
high percentage of Justin
Morgan blood, and like Justin
Morgan himself are known
for their hardiness and
athleticism. They are known
for outstanding stamina and
being real "go getters". Many
enthusiasts enjoy their
horses outside the ring
where these horses really
show their mettle. There are
some fantastic Lippitt
breeders who breed true
using horses, breeders who
make great use of their four
legged family. Okan Morgans
are great examples of this,
who show their horses both
in the ring and out
in the great
outdoors,"

Our lunch stop at the end of the trail, the location of the removed bridge. It was here that we had an up close and personal proof that if a tree falls in the woods it DOES make a sound!
Photo left: Don clearing the trail. The banks were too steep and rocky on either side to continue without cutting out a section of tree. The horses would have been happy to try though.
