Lippitt Ethan Georgia. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Nov. 1971


She has a strong breeding pedigree.
Her dam, (Lippitt Georgia) the next dam (Lippitt Gladys Moro), then the next one (Ne Komia), and the next one yet (Bridget), were all important producing mares. To see more on each of these go to the above link and click on each of the mares in succession and read the Info icon and the Progeny listings. 
The sire of her dam, Lippitt Sam, had 43 get and was a major stallion for Knight's Lippitt program. 
Her sire, Lippitt Ethan Don, had 18 get, with many important ones both in the Lippitt world and as 1/2 Lippitts who went on to have an impact in the general Morgan world. 

She had 11 foals (on her Progeny listing, there is a repeat due to a misspelling. I haven't the time to fix that.)
Many of her produce became good breeding and show horses. 
She had only the one full Lippitt, Alert's Miss Muffet, who did have foals of her own with some breeding on.

Briarwood Marea Moro. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Nov. 1971


This mare was 3/4 Lippitt with a touch of Gov't and some Old Vermont (but not High Percent) lines. 
She had 13 foals. 
This photo looks to be showing her in pasture broodmare condition, rather than a using horse or show condition. But, looking through that, she has some nice conformation. 



 

Princecrest Starlet. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Nov. 1971


This mare was 50% Lippitt as each of her parents was a 1/2 Lippitt. She was actually more than 50% as the dam of her dam, Gladness, was not only sired by the Lippitt John A Darling, but the next dam, Gladloss, was from the same Old Vermont High Percent as the Lippitt foundation horses. There is a touch of Gov't behind Ulendon. 
She had some foals for Rapidan Morgans. 

 

Hanover Super Lady. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Nov. 1971


Her dam was Full Lippit.
Her paternal grand sire, Orcland Leader, was out of a Lippitt mare, and his sire was mostly of the High Percent Old Vermont blood. 
Super Lady was a successful show horse and dam of 6 registered produce.

Saddleback Swingtime was another noted producer.  Saddleback Sentinel sired some good ones for Cosmos Morgans. Saddleback Sealect sired 117 registered get with way too many to discuss here. 
Challenger may not have sired very many, but his descendants in the following generations were numerous. 

His pedigree is pure Gov't. He sired 50 get. 
His son Austin Flying Cloud sired for Liberation prefix and others. Another son, Saddleback Supreme, sired 75 get with many for Saddleback. 



 

Royal Ann Field. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Nov. 1971


Her sire Arana Field,  was bred in Washington and spent his life in southern Oregon with the Phil Morrison family. Arana Field's sire was the noted Gov't bred stallion, Sonfield, who sired many in California for Roland Hill and later in Washington. Lady Margaret, dam of Arana Field, was bred in Washington. Her sire was from old Montana breeding. Her dam was bred by the L U Sheep Co. of WY. 
Royal Ann's dam, Roefield, also has an interesting pedigree. Her sire, Shawalla Scott, was bred in Washington. His sire, Silver Rockwood, was bred by Robert Tynan, Neb. Silver Rockwood's dam was another of the good mares bred by Elmer Brown, Kan. The dam of Shawalla Scott was bred in California and her dam was a Richard Sellman mare from Texas. Roe, the dam of Roefield, was sired by a stallion bred in Nevada by Clark Ringling who was breeding working ranch Morgans. The dam of Roe was another California bred going back to Richard Sellman stock.
This was a pedigree of working ranch Morgans from all over the western states.
