Sired 74 registered get.
Many of his get bred on and he has descendants today. He had get in the east, then with Madrona Morgans, then with Okan Morgans.
Back in 1986, we visited Washington state and stoped at Madrona Morgans and Mary Rein very gracefully let me ride Bili. He was a kind, even-tempered fellow and very handsome, correct, and typey.
He had quite a few full siblings who also were well known and used in breeding.
The dam of this family, Major's Nubbin, stamped her look on them all, and down to today I often can see that look in descendants.
The siblings were:
--Meredith Ebony, dam for Wachuset Morgans and Randallane Morgans.
--Ryegate Major, sire for different breeders, and also sire of Marvelous Encore who was exported to Australia and founded a family there.
--Ryegate Nubbinette, dam for SSM Morgans, dam of SSM Bessie Nekomia. {Snubbers, as she was fondly known was a real love here and I have many Snubbers stories}
--Ryegate Saphire, dam and has some lines to today.
--Ryegate Susanna, dam of Special Occasion and others.
--Ryegate Syndicate, sire with line to today.
This was and still is a very influential family and Meredith Bilirubin certainly has played his part. I am always happy to see Bilirubin in today's pedigrees.
