Another year passed while I was taking the necessary steps to improve my horse knowledge through workshops and training (the more I know, the more I know I don't know..).  I want to be worthy of these beautiful Morgan's with whom God has entrusted to me - and, who found their way into my heart and life.  I jumped at the chance to purchase Stormy (SSM Storm Singer) - a Morgan that loves to go!  I had also bonded very closely with him.  He is willing, loving and a great riding horse that keeps up with any of the other horse around here - even those bigger and gaited horses.  My Morgan's are awesome!

By now, you may have figured out that I am addicted.  Deciding that I wanted to breed Serena (the world needs more Morgan horses), I checked out several stallions that were being advertised.  None quite measured up to what I had hoped for, so I knew that the time just wasn't right.

Then...'out of the blue' (this was literally the subject on the email from my friend, Laura Algranti), I get an email asking if I would be interested in breeding Serena to a wonderful stallion named, Canyon of Quietude...

A life-altering event isn't always obvious.  However, this new encounter would change my life forever.

Into my life waltz's the now famous Wendy LeGate of Old Growth Oak Morgan Horses.

It was a very, very rainy and wet winter in Hollister and the first day I went to visit Wendy it had been pouring down rain for days and the ground was saturated.  I found out that Canyon of Quietude had recently foundered and the vet only gave him a slight chance at best to live!!!  Thankfully, Wendy did not give up on him.  She saw the spark in his eye and the will to live.  By the time I met Canyon, the worst was over and he was on his way to recovery--thanks to the countless hours and bandages that Wendy changed and tended to many times a day for many weeks-and yes, even in the pouring down rain she did not let this fantastic guy down.  He had such an awesome disposition and love in his eye-not to mention that he was stunning even with his feet bandaged!  I had finally found the stallion that would be perfect for Serena!

I spent about six hours with Wendy, looking at pictures, discussing pedigrees, conformation and everything else we could think of and I left with my head swimming and an unquenchable thirst for more Morgan knowledge.

Upon my return home I dove off the deep end into the world of Foundation Morgan Horses.  The next few years were a mission with Wendy's tremendous help, to find and acquire all the beautiful and wonderful horses that I have today.  Each of them special and unique, offering solid foundation Morgan lines and the temperament to match.

So there you have it, my journey to get here and this website will share my path with you from here on out.  I'm honored to be a part of the world of Foundation Morgan Horses and humbly offer to share these fabulous horses with you.

Thanks for visiting, I hope to meet you soon!!
