Her sire was Lippitt, so she is considered a 1/2 Lippitt; however, her dam was the same Old Vermont High Percent lines as the Lippitt Foundation Horses. 
She had no foals.

Check out the level of inbreeding here. Really intense!
I don't recall that this farm was around for a long time. This nice stallion did not have many get at all.

Covenant Nathan Ash. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Feb 2002



Upper from TMH 
Lower from the AllBreed site. 
Full Lippitt. 
He has a very nice rear end with good length of hip and depth, and shape. His Pillar of Support is very good and his Neck emergence is good. His LS Gap also looks to be very good. Good depth of barrel. A shapely neck that is not too heavy. Overall he was a class act! 
He is the sire of the well-known Jake Mint. He is the maternal grand sire of Abraham Elijah Ash. He sired others who bred on. 

 

UVM Springfield. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Feb 2002


There is a good photo of him at the above link as well as photos of most of his immediate ancestors. Note also that he is inbred to UVM Highlight. 
He sired 61 registered get.

Born To Boogie. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Feb 2002


A mostly Gov't pedigree w/a touch of Brunk, Lippitt, Old Vermont, and Western Working Family. 
He was a popular sire and sired for many different breeders. 

 

Slate Run R K Ladd. The Morgan Hore Magazine, Feb 2002


Bred in Ohio, his sire line, Shatona Kazran, TiloLalo, and Mahan Field, were all bred in California. Others behind Karzan include Morgans bred by the L U Sheep Co of WY, and some Brunk and Old Midwest Families. 
Ladd's dam had Lippitt, Brunk, more LU Sheep Co, and some old Kansas Morgans. 
Ladd had behind him strong working Morgan lines. 
It does not look like he has any lines to today; another loss to the breed.
