Her sire, Trophy, was Gov't bred.
Her dam was bred in Michigan from a breeder who bred many a good one. She had Lippitt Moro Ash, Western Working Family from the Kansas branch, Government, and Old Midwest behind her.
Karat had six registered foals. All of them had progeny of their own.

Miller's Admiral. The Morgan Horse Magazine, March 1988
I know nothing of the people behind the Miller's prefix except that they bred some good Morgans.
Admiral's dam, Gertie G, is an example of the mares used by Miller's; mares that came from some different Morgan lines. The sire of Gertie G, Tipperary, with his double Bennington close up, appears in quite a few pedigrees. Polly B, the maternal grand dam of Tipperary, brings in some Daniel Lambert blood as well as some Standardbred.
It is Fryar, dam of Gertie G, that has the most interesting lines behind her. Her sire, Billy K Allen, has only Fryar as a registered offspring, but he has a pedigree rich in the Old Vermont High Percent lines. The maternal grand sire of Fryar, Acme, was strong in the Daniel Lambert lines. Fryar's maternal grand dam was not really a Morgan at all.
To me, this pedigree shows the practicality of the breeders back at the turn of the 1800's to the 1900's. They needed a good using horse and used what was good in their locale. The horses used could be Morgans, Standardbreds, or unregistered horses that met their standards.
Gertie G was bred in Maine but apparently spent her life in Vermont. She had 8 registered foals.
These included: --
Broadwall Folly, who had foals for Broadwall.
--Waseeka's Flirt, who had a thin line that almost made it to today.
--Miller's Pride--sire of Miller's Commander, the Morgan of Denny Emerson's youth. Miller's Sun Tan, dam of Axtell (sire) and Addison Bay (dam for S C Island) and some others who bred on somewhat. Miller's Ben-Del who sired for Tara's and others, and some others who bred on somewhat.
--Miller's Adel, dam of Waseeka's In Command and some others.
--Miller's Admiral, to be discussed below.
Miller's Admiral had 6 registered get before he was exported to Spain.
These include:
--Donna June, dam for Green Meads
--Holley, dam for Applevale and Triton. One of these, Applevale Victoria was dam for Troutbrook and Bellamara.
--Kanthaka sired for Meadowmac, Main-Line, and others.
--Maggie's Mischief had Corimiss (dam of quite a few with the Cor first part of their names) and Cornie (dam of High Aristocrat and others).
The point of all this verbiage? Just a look at an interesting pedigree and how those horses continued to breed onwards. It would appear that many people found these horses of value.
UVM Cantor. The Morgan Horse Magazine, March 1988
The first and most obvious line breeding are the 3 crosses to Goldfield. But there are 6 crosses back to Artemisia, that High Percent Old Vermont mare who did so much for the Gov't program.
Cantor did well showing and had 60 registered get. He was noted as a good broodmare sire.

Why I Chose A Morgan. Western Horseman Magazine, October 1959
I wish these were better quality. But it was the best I could do back in the early 1980's with simple photo copy machines and tightly bound volumes of the magazine.
Bred on, down to WAR prefix Morgans in the latter '80's & into the '90's
Look at the bottom mare line of this one; it gets into some interesting territory.

Illawana Marie. and. Hylee's Heir. Western Horseman Magazine, Sept. 1959
Note that the correct name is Hylee's Heir and Hylee's Deb.
Heir was sold to the Neeley's of Idaho where he sired many with the Teton/Tetonia prefixes, many of whom bred on, and also Gizea Gold, dam of Jan Mabie Pace. Heir is seen in today's pedigrees.
Hylee's Deb had 10 foals. Some of her daughters bred on a ways.
Filmland Horsemen, Guy Williams, Star of Zorro. Western Horseman Magazine, August 1959
The quality lacks on these. I photocopied these way back in the early 1980's. These were in a bound volume of the old Western Horseman magazines. They were tightly bound and I could not flatten the gutter all that much. It was the best that could be done with the technology available to me at the time.
