"THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: the Arabian & Morgan as One!"
Isn't she just beautiful?! Shown here with her former owner, Dawn is a wonderful example of what we expect out of our Morab horses here at Liberty Mtn. She has been a champion and winner in a host of categories: Western, English, Country Pleasure; Obstacle and Pleasure Driving; Open, Model Arabian, Half Arabian Halter; Native Costume; barrels; Trail; parades; Saddle Seat Equitation; Walk/Trot Equitation; etc. Many High Point Awards. She won the coveted Super Horse of the Year over all breeds in the Texas Bluebonnet Arabian Club competition, and was runner up more than once. She did endurance racing, and can do second level dressage. She has been trail ridden in several states, and pushed cattle. A classic example of the VERSATILITY and ATHLETICISM of the Morab breed - and now she gives us pleasure here at home with her beauty and her exotic Morab foals. What a blessing she is to us. Dawn was bred to Mystery for 2006 and had her 10th Morab foal, a stunning bay colt, LM MYSTERY SUNBURST, who is already sold and will be going to Wyoming as a stallion prospect. Dawn is 22 years old this year, and still looks like a 15 year old! What a Morab!

BREEDINGS FOR 2006 AT LIBERTY MTN. RANCH!

We have cut back pretty severely on our breeding for the last three years, but we do have a few mares we have bred for foals in 2006. We picked some of our very, very best for breeding this year, and we are very excited at the quality of these pairings. They should produce some truly exceptional foals in 2006. If you are interested in purchasing an extremely well bred Morab foal in-utero, please contact us.

The first mare we bred this year is the multi-champion Morab mare, DESIDERATA'S DAWN  (see above). We have bred her for the fourth time to our gaited Morgan stallion, MARY MELS MYSTERY, for a 2006 Morab foal. The first three foals out of this pair of good horses are all extremely promising. Only a colt will be available. UPDATE JULY 2006: Dawn had a stunning bay colt, LM MYSTERY SUNBURST, who is already sold as a stallion prospect to Morab breeders/ranchers in Wyoming.

The second mare we bred is our Futurity winning black Morab mare, LM EBONY JEWEL, to MARY MELS MYSTERY. This is the third time for this pairing, and again, it's due to the quality of the foals that we are repeating this breeding. Ebony is sired by the champion Arabian stallion, Ra'adin Inshalla, a son of the famous *Ansata Ibn Halima+. If Inshalla were still alive today, he would be almost 40 years old. Ebony's Morgan dam was our champion foundation Morgan mare, Bar-T Trinket. In fact, Ebony was Trinket's last daughter. Trinket was born in 1971 and her sire was foaled in 1944 - more old breeding. We were thrilled to get the black with Ebony, too. Putting Ebony together with Mystery makes for some very old Morgan and Arabian breeding in the first five generations. A black is possible, but we've gotten dark chestnuts both times so far. UPDATE JULY 2006: Ebony had a gorgeous dark chestnut filly, LM MYSTERY JASMINE, who is now for sale.

SMANDA'S SANDI JANE ("Kasey"), is the third mare we bred to MARY MELS MYSTERY for 2006. Kasey is a Morgan so this will be a purebred Morgan, and not a Morab foal. This, too, is a repeat breeding - the three year old filly we have out of Kasey and Mystery is so nice, we've got to put some more on the ground. Kasey has the distinction of being featured on a Franklin Mint Collector's Plate for the Morgan breed in the Great Horse Breeds series. Her old Western Working lines and Funquest lines compliment Mystery's very well, indeed. The foal is for sale if it is a colt. Or you can buy the bred mare, and get the foal that way, even if it is a filly. UPDATE JULY 2006 - Kasey had a chestnut colt, Mystery Kadence, in June who is the SPITTING IMAGE of his sire! We have priced him with his dam as a pair.
