It has been 5 years since I have posted. That seems like a forever but it really isn't. I can no longer ride my beloved horses but that doesn't keep me from having them and of course taking shots of them. Here is my newest addition to my breeding program. He is a perlino Morgan colt and this picture was taken at 18 months old. Perlino means he will only produce buckskin, palomino or smoky black. At 78 I hope to live long enough to enjoy some of his foals and no nothing wrong with me just the usual old age problems and surgery on my knee that didn't work out well.

Carol,
I love horses and I do not believe I have seen a better capture of the beauty and uniqueness of such a beautiful animal. My perfect color for a horse is a buckskin with a shiny deeper gold color to accentuate the stunning black on their legs, mane and tail.
Stunning shot!!

Thank you. I also love the golden buckskin with its shimmering coat and those black points.
My first horse was, I thought, a Heinz 57. Took her on a horse camping trip to Wyoming several years later and met someone who had a champion Morgan. When he saw mine he told me I had a Morgan, a twin to his when looked at side-by-side. Funny thing; mine was gaited (what they called a running walk). So must have had gaited blood. Kind of of spoiled me on gaited horses. Had Tennessee Walkers the rest of my 40 years of riding.
You accomplished a fantastic portrait of your horse; best I have ever seen. Congratulations.

Nicely done portrait. You can really see the "ARAB" in the Morgan breed.
you sure can. Even if it is over 144 yrs since the original Morgan was founded.

Yes Morgans can come gaited. I have never ridden a gaited horse but probably should have tried it when I could still ride. Been raising Morgans since 1967.
Beautiful horses. My Morgan taught me how to ride.

Is the gait natural or from cross breeding?

It is natural. No crosses unless you count those 144 yrs ago.
Absolutely stunning! If I was your neighbor I would muck out the stalls just to be around your horses!😁

Couldn’t put it any better than Ron. It is a very beautiful photograph; a classic!
A very nice image. What a beautiful horse.
