I liked Aletta as soon as I laid eyes on her. Her owner at the time refused to sell her to me though. November of 2006, to my good fortune, I was able to acquire her. I jumped at the opportunity to own this exquisite mare. So, Aletta made the trip to our farm in November, 2006.
Aletta has given us a beautiful bay colt in 2007. We did not breed her in 2007 as we wanted a year to ride her. In the spring of 2008 we bred her to our stallion, Marvelous Robert. She will once again take her place as a valued brood mare, passing on her distinguished breeding.
Greg has claimed this beautiful mare for himself, but he has ridden her less than anyone else in the family. The summer of 2008, Greg was able to work with her more. He is looking forward to learning to ride english on her. She will be used as a saddle horse in the falls, after her babies are weaned. This is our favorite time of year to hit the trails anyway.
This mare has very quickly endeared herself in our hearts. She is the first horse to call out or softly nicker to you. She would never intentionally harm anyone around her. Aletta fits well into the heard and it is seldom that you find her in a quarrel with another horse.
Aletta has a beautiful sculptured face with perfect tippy ears. She has a shapely neck and nice shoulder. Her chest is broad as is her barrel. When you are sitting on her back, you know you have a horse under you! She has a nice hip and clean, straight legs. She has the carriage that you would expect of a Morgan, big, round, ground covering action that starts from the shoulder. She is going to make some great babies for us, so stay tuned!
