Troubadour of Willowmoor. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Feb 1984



Upper from TMH 
Lower from the AllBreed site 
His dam was from the old High Percent Old Vermont lines, being in bred to Ethan Allen 2nd, line bred to Cushings Green Mountain, and every line of her pedigree going back to horses carrying Justin Morgan himself  at least once. 
Troubadour of Willowmoor's sire was bred by C X Larrabee of Montana and was sired by Jubilee de Jarnette who did so much for the early Brunk breeding. The paternal grand dam brought in more trotting blood than Morgan blood but did have the Justin Morgan sire line. 
Troubadour of Willowmoor sired 53 registered get. 
Some of these were out of mares who were not registered Morgans but who carried Morgan blood in their own pedigrees. Many of these mares went on as X registered Morgans and bred onwards. 
Probably his most famous daughter was the Gov't Farm bred, Quietude, dam of Sonfield, Upwey Ben Don, Upwey Benn Quietude, and others. 
His daughter, Quenelda, was grand dam of Bennfield, and dam of Peter Mansfield, Virgil, and others. 
He was maternal grand sire of Uhlan who sired so many important ones in California. 
He was maternal grand sire of Pomulus, who sired some important ones in Washington. 
He was dam of Narissa who was dam of some good ones for the Gov't Farm and ones who went to Ohio in the Devan program. 
In all, he has come down to us today in many lines.
