Hy Crest Satina. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Jan-Feb 1984


Photo above from TMH, from before Carol Guay owned her. 
Photo below from the AllBreed site, showing her as a well aged mare when owned by Carol Guay. 
Satina had 4 gray foals from her 10 total foals. The first two were from before Carol owned her and were gelded. 
In the very late 1980's, I was researching an article for TMH about gray Morgans. I had a list of all the living gray Morgans in the breed from AMHA (and that was a very short list). I heard back from the owner of one of Satina's geldings and from Carol Guay who was amazed that she had the last traceable breeding age gray. (Much later, the other breeding age gray mare was found.) So Carol bred Satina some more and got two gray colts who have bred on and today, most gray Morgans trace back to them: CW's Sterling Silver and CW's Silver Ash. 
Looking at Satina's pedigree one can see that the gray color came from a mare, listed only as Gray Remount mare. bred by the US Livestock Experiment Station in Miles City, MT who was out of a Richard Sellman mare and sired by a gray Arabian. That mare was bred to Monterey, a Gov't Farm stallion from Vermont, and produced the mare Babe who was never registered. Babe was bred to Beaujeau who was bred by Helen Greenwalt and sired by Highview King and out of a LU Sheep Co. mare. This produced Lady Satin, who was bred and lived in Michigan. Finally, Lady Satin, now owned by Richard Measel, was bred to Hy Crest Koko and produced Hy Crest Satina. 
Satina had a good, solid pedigree. And now we still have grays in the breed.

Waseeka's Peter Piper. The Morgan Horse Magazine. June 1984


He had quite a lot of Lippitt and Old Vermont High Percent behind him, as well as some Brunk. His great grand sire, Starfire, is Western Working Family with a lot of Brunk behind it. 
I remember him as a typey, little fellow with a lot of personality and energy.

Although technically a 1/2 Lippitt, she was 7/8th Lippitt in blood and then had another 1/16th as High Percent Old Vermont. The one outcross in her pedigree was the Brunk mare, Paragraph. 
She has one very thin line to today.

Mr. Eagle L. G. Carter. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Jan-Feb 1978


Although he sired very few, his pedigree is of interest as it shows the last part of W. T. Carter's long time breeding program. Lippitt Gregory came west from the 1962 Lippitt Farm Dispersal Sale upon the passing of Robert Lippitt Knight. He was just a weanling. He sired many for Carter and others. The dam of Mr. Eagle was Cherry K R, bred by Carter, and sired by Kings River Morgan, also bred by Carter. Kings River sired many for Carter. He was sired by Gold Dollar, who was bred by L W Rutledge who had his ranch close to Carter's. Gold Dollar was by Blackhaux, bred by that early California breeder, Duval Williams, from Sellman stock. 
The dam of Gold Dollar as well as the mare bred to him to get Kings River were both mares bred by Roland Hill with the Gov't Farm sires and Sellman Mares.   (as a side note, Kings River Morgans was named for the Kings River which flowed from the Sierra Mountains down past Carter's ranch. )
Back to Cherry KR, her dam was also sired by Gold Dollar. That dam was out of a mare from the Old Midwest Family. She was bred by the noted Iowa Breeder, T C Doak, and came to California from a dispersal sale in the Midwest. She was said to be the most lovely mare of her time. 
Carter was a good breeder of using Morgans. He bred from the 1940s until his passing in the 1960s.
