Mossrose Dandy Jewel

(Whippoorwill Newmoon x Whippoorwill Halo)

2011 Brown Mare  ~  100% Foundation Bloodlines

15.1H, coat color tested EeAta, N/N for PSSM1, C/C for gait

Jewel is the most lovely and most elegant mare on the farm.  She has the beautiful seal brown color and striking features of her sire, multi champion reiner, Whippoorwill Newmoon.  She also has acquired the lovely grace and elegance of her dam, the beautiful black Whippoorwill Halo who is sired by Sereno Dandy Vermont and out of the mortgage lifter mare, Whippoorwill Corona.  Jewel is a goldmine of rare old blood, so has been one of our main broodmares.  Her foals are superior and all have gone on to using homes.  Like all of our Morgans, Jewel has an excellent work ethic and tries hard to please.  She was started under saddle as a 2 and 3 year old and is a smooth, big strided mover.  She is 15.1H with plenty of bone and substance.  If you are someone who is concerned with white feet, no problem here.  Jewel has 3 short white socks, but 4 dark hooves.  Don't ask me how that happens because I don't know, but I do find it interesting to note! And on that note, I know when we have kept other breeds in the past and we did indeed have to worry about white hooves, but I have never had an issue with white hooves on a Morgan.  Morgan feet and legs are strong and Jewel is a testament to that!

Whippoorwill Skysthelimit

(Whippoorwill Celestial x Whippoorwill Kings Ransom)

2012 Black Mare  ~  100% Foundation Bloodlines

15H, N/N for PSSM1, C/A for gait

Miss Sky was a special gift born into the last foal crop of the 67 year old breeding program of Whippoorwill Morgans in Old Lyme, Connecticut in 2012. She is an absolutely gorgeous typey black mare embodying the characteristics that Whippoorwill Morgans are known for.  Sky carries several generations of classic Morgans carefully and mindfully bred by emeritus breeder, Mary Jean Vasiloff. We are honored to have Miss Sky in our herd.  She is a wonderful riding mare for anyone to ride.  She was used at a riding academy for girls as well as countless miles of mountain riding in West Virginia for Times Past Farm before coming to Mossrose Morgans. This mare is closely related to most of our herd, so is the perfect fit.

Sky stands 15H tall.  We have used her for western riding, dressage and working equitation.  We enjoy having Miss Sky around as she is easy for everything and most anyone can ride her.  She is very friendly, curious and under saddle she tries hard to please. If you are familiar with the Whippoorwill Morgans, you will find this mare to be a classic quality example of a "Whippoorwill."

Miss Sky's offspring:

  • Mossrose Quest, 2024 bay stallion by Westwind Montana Sky
  • Mossrose Redemption, 2025 bay gelding by Westwind Montana Sky

Mossrose Fiesta Gold

(Whippoorwill Newmoon x Whippoorwill Goldusty)

2013 Palomino Mare  ~  100% Foundation Bloodlines

15.3H, coat color test eeaa, N/N for PSSM1, C/C for gait

I wish I could come up with the appropriate words and some perfect pictures to describe Fiesta. She is simply amazing. The one thing we noticed about her right away is that she is something special and knows it! From the beginning we have gotten a big kick out of watching her play.  I have never seen a foal with so much expression in her ability. She could play the dressage role quite easily with big, lofty gaits and that added suspension we love to see.  But if you turn your head for an instant and then look back, she will be running full tilt with her head and neck lowered and ears back like a cowhorse. It is something brilliant to witness! At 3 months old, Fiesta was doing her dressage and cowhorse moves, as well as easily jumping logs and piles of brush while going uphill in her pasture. Now did we see the eventing and hunter/jumper side of this mare coming through as well? I'm quite certain this mare is tops in ability.

Fiesta is a sweet mare that loves scratches and hugs.  She always comes up for attention when she sees us.  She's especially good at following behind as close as possible in the pasture without the human realizing, hoping she doesn't miss out on any attention.  She is a sooty palomino with a good supply of dapples.  Another thing that stands out about Fiesta is her size, at 15.3H. Fiesta has proven to be a willing partner for showing as well.  We are using her for western dressage, working equitation, ranch riding classes and 2 person cattle sorting.  She is always ready, willing and able to get the job done!

Heritage Hollow Liberty

(Edgefield Patriot x JKM Charms Delight)

2020 Palomino Mare  ~  100% Foundation Bloodlines

14.1H, coat color tested eeAa, N/N for PSSM1, C/C for gait

One day while I was at Heritage Hollow Morgans in North Branch, Minnesota, this cute filly came up and wanted to meet me. I got to experience the American Morgan Horse Association slogan, "The horse that chooses you." Libby chose me that day! I worked with her and was quite impressed with her training to date, as well as her abilities, willingness and try. Libby wasn't really for sale, but Renee recognized something and we quickly came to an agreement. I wrote out a check on the spot and put her in the trailer before Renee could change her mind.  John, myself and our riders all love Libby.  She is very easy to have around, fun to work with and a cute mover.  She fits in good for our working equitation practices. A few different people have ridden her for obstacle practice and enjoyed her. She isn't very tall, but she is an athletic powerhouse. She reminds me of a mare we owned for several years named Red Rose Stardancer. Libby has a line on the bottom side to a Red Rose horse who was a full brother to Stardancer's sire.  Libby has a similar look as the Triple S Morgans we have seen and had in our horse's pedigrees. Libby is quick and agile. We all say she would be a rockstar with a bold kid that wanted to do pony club events. However, I'm not sure she will get the chance as we all like her so much!


Mossrose Natalia

(Whippoorwill Aristocrat x Mossrose Fiesta Gold)

2021 Smoky Black Mare  ~  100% Foundation Bloodlines

15H, coat color tested Eeaa, N/N for PSSM1, C/C for gait

We are thankful to have gotten this lovely filly through a joint effort with Matton Morgans. Natalia is a real treasure of old bloodlines carefully woven over time by Whippoorwill Morgans and thoughtfully carried forward by Matton and Mossrose.  She is a super mover, very bold and in your pocket friendly. Talia is lovely and fits in perfectly with the current happenings and future plans of Mossrose Morgans. She is currently going well under saddle and furthering her training with western dressage and working equitation. Talia is a brilliant combination of her sire and dam!


Singingheart Shiloh

(OGO Luna Illuminati x Mossrose Moondancer)

2022 Chestnut Mare  ~  100% Foundation bloodlines

15H

Thank you to Donna DeAmaral for breeding this mare and saving her for me. I am forever grateful. Shiloh is by the 15.3H black stallion, OGO Luna Illuminati and out of the lovely bay mare, Mossrose Moondancer. Illuminati carries some great old Brunk and working western Morgan bloodlines. With Illuminati, I particularly wanted to bring forward the blood of one of the early talented Morgan Grand Prix dressage horses, Whippoorwill Ebony. This was only the third foal born that was sired by Illuminati - and he was 17 years old! His first foal, by the way, was Mossrose North Star, foaled when Illuminati was 16 years old. You can see that this is an important mare for our program. Illuminati is available via frozen semen through Donna DeAmaral. Email or call and I will put you in touch with her. Donna is professional, attentive and easy to work with.

Shiloh is currently going well under saddle. She has been started on the working equitation obstacles and is a shoo-in for the "easiest horse of all time to work with" award! She was easy to start under saddle since she always tries hard to please and has an excellent work ethic. She is sensitive and soft, so certainly could be ruined in the wrong hands, but she is so sweet I don't know how anyone could ever be impatient with her. We just want to hug her! She may seem like a plain wrapper to many, but getting to know her has been an absolute joy. I'm quite sure I have never described a horse as cuddly, but if I had to, she would be it! She has great heart and try, which makes her a pleasure to work with. She is naturally left leaded, which is neat to see! That is another trait I don't often see in the Morgan breed & when you're married to a team roper you notice these things because they're important. We have only had a couple born here in all of our years of Morgans. Anyway, Shiloh is going to be one neat using horse and I can hardly wait to get to that point! In the future, we hope to cross her back on the Whippoorwill bloodlines to move that blood forward.
