Sandrock Joel
Edgewood Hallmark x His Mark Charity
1983 - 2018
|

From Chris Holm;
My beautiful boy and one of my oldest and dearest friends was laid to rest on Saturday. Sandrock Joel (Edgewood Hallmark x His Mark Charity) foaled 6-6-83 died 12-15-2018. He stayed as long as he could but it was evident he was ready to leave us behind and join his band of mares waiting on the other side.
His last day we went for a walk to the slide track with a view of the place, all his mares and foals that are still here and the valley he has called home the last 34 years. Then I took him to talk to the horses he hasn't seen for a while. I groomed him and turned him out in the little pasture next to his mares where he ate hay and his goodies and accepted visitors and peppermint treats.
His last moments were as his life, a class act. He nickered goodbye as he left this world or maybe he was saying hello to his girls on the other side...
Things will never seem quite right here as he was the reason for Devine Morgans. He left us so many gifts, fillies lately and of course Luke. He was truly a one of a kind and I was so blessed for all the time I had with him. I really didn't tell him goodbye. I just kept thanking him and telling him I love him as he parted this world.

This is Marvin Jepperson who purchased Abbott, a Remount stallion, after the Remount discontinued. One of Phil Morrisons prize mares came from this breeding - Abonette Primrose (Abbott X Rose Primway). This information came from Lillian Smith
Barbara Cobean owned an Abbott daughter named Abbilene which she bought from the Van Pelts.
This picture of Abbott was published in many magazines as being representative of the Morgan breed.
Per Ray Ellsworth, Gene Marr also used Abbott in his breeding program.

From Richard Trower:
I have spoken to Diane Kubis, Triflik Morgans in Auburn WA. . She says:
"Micky was an incredible Morgan; jet black, dished head, the epitomy of a Morgan horse. He moved with a very natural action, tail high in the air; he was proud of himself and let the crowd see how he moved, head high, naturally curved Morgan neck, small ears. He was kind and lovable, as well as his offspring. He was a wonderful stallion, easy to handle and he put his mark on his offspring.
I raised many Morgans as well as the Yust family, who also leased him. His owner lived in California and Micky went down there for a short time and then returned to my place here.
I sent my mares to California so they could still be bred by Micky. Actually he is the one and only Morgan that has been buried on my place."

From Liz Goldmann.
"Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I see?" Made me think of the Christmas carol when the herd spotted something beyond human earshot and eyesight. Festival Fanfare, Sutton Fancy That, & Anthem Rose Gold on high alert before they decided no true threat and fell back to grazing.

Gladheart Linhawk
(Funquest Diviner x Rogue's Midnight Melody)
Owned by Jack & Nadette Stang, Gladheart Farm

Gladheart Linhawk was the first foal registered with the Gladheart prefix, and although rather diminutive (13.3h), “LC” (or "Little Man" as his Oregon dressage friends have dubbed him) is proof you don't need a big horse for dressage.
Initially trained and shown by his amateur owner to First Level, LC has successfully competed through Grand Prix with USDF Silver Medalist
Kimberlee Barker
in USDF recognized Open competitions. He has been an Adequan/USDF All-Breeds Award winner at every level from First through Prix St Georges, and Morgan Dressage Association Awards of Excellence recipient at all levels from First to FEI, often capturing Champion or Reserve titles.
Linhawk and Kim have been a popular pair for dressage demonstrations: the only Morgan in the Oregon Dressage Society's Introduction to the 2011 USEF Tests Seminar, Second Level horse and rider pair for the 2011 USDF "L-Judges" series with Axel Steiner, and a demonstration horse for the Dressage Exhibition at the 2009 and 2012 Northwest Equine Expositions, as well as being a participant in the 2012 USDF Region 6 Adult Clinic with Lilo Fore. They have been featured in
The Morgan Horse
,
Chronicle of the Horse
and
Flying Changes
magazines.
In 2015, Linhawk underwent colic surgery at the Oregon State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and began a long road of recovery and reabilitation. We are so incredibily grateful to the faculty and staff at Oregon State for their skill and care of LC, and it almost goes without saying that we are greatly indebted to Kim for her skill and dedication in rehabilitating LC.
2018 was LC's first season post colic, and he returned with style debuting at Grand Prix in the summer and earning his AMHA Gold Medallion this fall. We are excited to see what 2019 brings!
LC is both a benchmark for us in what type of athletic talent we strive for in our program, as well as an outstanding example of what a talented Morgan can do.
