About Us!
We are located in beautiful central Missouri, approximately 20 miles north of I-70 and Columbia.
We are dedicated to breeding some of the finest Lippitt Morgans in the country. We breed for Breed
Identity--the true, old type Morgan horse; disposition; correct conformation; beauty; athletic
ability; work ethic and versatility.
In 1997, on a trip to Vermont, we purchased our first Lippitt Morgan from a lifelong breeder of true
Morgan Horses, and we were on our way to realizing a lifelong dream to breed true, "Original", Morgan horses.
We wanted to breed horses with all the qualities of "Figure", Justin Morgan, and these Lippitt Morgans have
been carefully linebred for over 200 years to attain those qualities.
What Is A Lippitt?
Lippitt Morgans are a family of AMHA registered Morgans, with no outcrosses to Saddlebreds or other breed
in the 20th century and beyond, thus having the highest available concentration of the original Justin Morgan
blood. Some have as much as 23-24% of the orginal blood, which would be nearly as much as a grandson or
grandaughter of Justin Morgan. Lippitts are named in honor of Robert Lippitt Knight, who helped save these
valuable bloodlines from near extinction by breeding them at his Green Mt. Stock Farm, located in Randolph,
Vermont, from 1927-1962. His "Lippitt" prefixed horses were famous for type, quality and preserving the original
Morgan bloodlines.
Lippitt Morgans are always bay, chestnut, brown, or black, with usually little or no white markings.
Ideally they are 14.1 to 15.1 hands tall, sturdy, intelligent, and people-oriented. They love their people!
We invite you to call us and come visit our farm and see our horses. If you're are looking for an Original Morgan
