Full Lippitt

good sire 

This is the ad that Velma Wagoner saw. She decided she wanted this stallion. Jim Wagoner, who loved his wife so very much, made it happen. They loaded up a stallion they had into their pull behind trailer and took him to Minnesota and came back with Gay Ethan in their trailer. The other stallion stayed in Minnesota. Jim was a dairy farmer who switched over later to almond trees because the trees were less work than those cows. Many years later, Velma developed some serious health issues and they had to sell Gay Ethan, who then went to Southern California to Bill George, Ember Morgans. 

My first three Morgan mares all had Gay Ethan behind them.
