Lippitt Alertson.

Chestnut stallion, foaled 1961, bred by Robert Lippitt Knight. 

L. Alertson was one of those who went through the Dispersal Sale after Knight's death in 1962. He was sold to Roy S. Richardson, Jr. of Vermont for $900, and then had two registered get, Morgan Legend's Jubal (1/2 Lippitt) and Sumac's Jess (1/2 Lippitt), both out of Green Meads Dawn. Jubal, who was foaled in 1966, was gelded. Jess, foaled in 1967, had four registered get. 

Since Alertson was being shown by a junior rider in the above photos, he must have been gelded.

[from this point, onwards, we are speaking of 1/2 Lippitts, part-Lippitts or barely Lippitts, but it is still interesting to see how the line continued on for a while] 

The get of Sumac's Jess were:

--Moro's Alert-Son, foaled 1969, bred by Jean Cox DeBeck of Maine. He was gelded.

--Moro's Jessie James, foaled 1971, bred by Norma Rubin of Maine. He was gelded. The dam of Jessie James was by the Lippitt, Moro Twilight, thus bringing some Lippitt blood back to the L. Alertson lines.

 

--Moro's Contessia, foaled 1971, bred by Jean Cox DeBeck of Maine. The dam of Contessia was sired by the Lippitt stallion, Nabob's Morgan.  Contessia was dam of: J Wakan Sir Archer, 1975, foaled in Maine, gelded; Moonglo Elegant Duke, 1977, foaled in Maine, gelded. Both he and J Wakan Archer were bred by Judith Emerson; Tuppins of Birchwood, 1982, bred and foaled in New Hampsire. He had a foal in 1986; Mason Expo, 1985, and Mason Tempest, 1984, both bred and foaled in Colorado and both gelded. It looks like Contessia was often sold and moved around. 

 

--Moro's Jessicia, foaled 1970, bred by Moro's Stock Farm (Jean Cox DeBeck) of Maine. Jessicia had 4  registered foals, two for Ro-Pa's prefix, Holly (1/2) and Jessie Jane (1/2). Both were bred by Roger Laney of Maine and both were sired by the Lippitt stallion, Moro Twilight. Neither had registered foals. Jessicia also had two geldings--Royal Tam, 1981, bred in Maine, and Tamworth Prince, bred in Mass. It would appear that Jessicia was sold in foal to Mass. and later had another foal for that person. 

--Stone Acre Justin Jr., out of an Appaloosa mare. Justin Jr. sired at least two Appaloosas.
