Marvelous Gem. TMH April 1980


https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/marvelous+gem
This was a grand Morgan with excellent conformation and breed type.
Not known till many years later, he carried the splash gene, from his dam back to the likely source of Rhythm Lovely Lady.
Note his white markings. 
He was 1/2 Lippitt as his sire was full Lippitt. His dam was 1/2 Old Midwest Family as her sire was purely that good old family. Her dam's dam then brings in Brunk, and Western Working Family from the LU Sheep Co. 
As a side note, Emerald's Aristocrat was the Morgan owned by John Richard Young, author of two excellent books on horse training. I can remember reading his books as a teen, and later owning the books. There were photos of this stallion in at least one of the books.
