In Pursuit of the China Morgan Horses, by Sandra Moats.. The Morgan Horse Magazine, July 2002
Looking at the list of those Morgans who went to China, we lost a lot. Some of them had progeny here before they were exported, and some of those progeny did breed on. They all had lovely pedigrees.

Bimbeau's pedigree was rich in the Old Midwest Family and Brunk. His sire, T-Bone Bimbo. was bred back to his own grand daughter to produce Bimbeau.

Leon Silver. The Morgan Horse Magazine from around 1950
Bred by that good Kansas ranch breeder, O E Sutter, both of Leon Silver's parents were bred by the Master breeder, Elmer Brown, Halstead, Kansas. Note the two close crosses to Linsley, a stallion who was a grand sire. The paternal grand sire is Tehachapi Allan, California bred by Roland Hill of Government and Sellman horses. The maternal grand sire, Romanesque, brings in more Sellman. On the bottom mare line, May Hudson was bred by Elmer Brown and brings in Old Midwest from her sire, and from her dam, a cross to Headlight Morgan from when he was in Kansas before going to Texas and Richard Sellman's ranch.
Leon Silver sired for the Dot S ranch program. Some of them are:
--Dot S Beauty, dam for Funquest Morgans.
--Dot S Bell Ann, dam for Funquest Morgans.
--Dot S Fanny, dam for Funquest Morgans.
--Dot S Stareda, bred on to a slender extent.
Leon Silver lives on through his Funquest descendants.
Brown Pepper. The Morgan Horse Magazine, early 1950's
Take a look at his pedigree. His sire was out of Quietude whose dam and maternal grand dam were from the High Percent Old Vermont. The dam of Brown Pepper was also from High Percent lines. Her sire was Lippitt and her dam Old Vermont High Percent. The bottom mare line does go to an unrecorded mare, but since it was an Orcutt mare, chances are very good that was also a High Percent Morgan.
Brown Pepper went on to be a noted sire. Some of them are:
--Bald Mt. Belle, producing dam.
--Bell-O-Mine who produced for Townshend and Highover prefixes.
--Cajun Pepper, sire of 131 get. He also was a good show horse.
--Donene Pepper, dam of Saddleback Sultan and others.
--Donna Mae Pepper, dam for Fiddler's prefix.
--Lady Jezebel Pepper, dam of many, including Springdale King, sire of Robbi Sue Moralert.
--Little Miss Pepper, dam of 11 produce. noted as the horse behind "Pepper Power" at the Trijas prefix. She was also dam for Equinox and dam of Sweet Pepper, dam of Waseeka Peter Piper.
----Pinecrest Lee, dam of Top-T Morgans and Supreme Beam,
--Ruverna Penny Pepper, dam for Citadel and Trijas.
Sylvester, sired only 10 but one of these was Diamond Jim Brady, sire of Springtown Champagne, sire of many, including Amberfields Desperado.
--Tika Tu Pepper, dam of Dobson who was sire of 111 get and 1977 World Champion Stallion. She also had produce for Hornes and Oakwood's prefixes.
Brown Pepper has quite a long list of descendants, with many lines down to today.

Parade. The Morgan Horse Magazine
Parade's sire, Cornwallis, was a grand sire of many really good ones.
The dam of Parade was bred by Frances Bryant out of her great Brunk mare, Paragraph, and sired by Mansfield. Thus, Parade was 1/2 Lippitt, 1/4 Gov't., and 1/4 Brunk, making him a lovely blend of 3 historic Morgan families.
In 1964, Parade toured with the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, with the Lippizans.
He sired 153 get, many carrying the Broadwall prefix of his owners.
Many of his get bred on, some down to today.

Aurora Leigh. The Morgan Horse Magazine
Take a look at the inbreeding in this pedigree. She was from the old New York breeding utilizing Lippitt,, Old Vermont High Percent, Old Vermont. Note that Allen's Seneca Chief was a full brother to the great stallion, Pecos.
Linallen. The Morgan Horse Magazine
His dam was bred by the Chillocco School, OK. using the old Kansas breeding, especially back to Elmer Brown's program. All those crosses to Linsley behind the dam and the cross to Linsley behind the paternal grand dam, go to Brown.
Bob B. The Morgan Horse Magazine
It is worth one's while to take a look at his dam's pedigree and take it back a ways. What at first look seems to be lacking in Morgan blood, a better look shows much Morgan back there.

Dapper Dolly The Morgan Horse Magazine.
Way back when I was in High School (late 1960's), I sometimes rode my horse over to the Peters Canyon Stables, a few miles away. It was run at that time by Billy Warne, a noted stock horse trainer. One day, walking through the barn, I was stopped by a lovely head hanging out over the stall door. The name plate on the door said "Dapper Dolly". I had no idea she was a Morgan, just that she was different from all the other horses there. It wasn't until decades later that I found out who she was. She was shown at good sized open shows in stock horse and did well.
Her sire was the popular Northern California stallion, Dapper Dan, of pure Western Working Family. Her dam was pure Brunk and a full sister to the granddam of one of my first Morgans.
Her sire was the popular Northern California stallion, Dapper Dan, of pure Western Working Family. Her dam was pure Brunk and a full sister to the granddam of one of my first Morgans.
She had one foal, a filly, but that filly grew up to produce some who bred on to one extent or another:
Bercinda Jeanette, Dapper Dundee, Dappers Delight, S A Henrietta, SA Tamarisk. There was also SA Desiree whom I think I remember from Morgan shows around the early 1980's.
