Moriesians:
The Moriesian is a result of a breeding program initiated in the USA to produce horses that combine the elegance and charisma of the Friedian with the versatility of the Morgan.
Dutch Hollow Acres has a supurb Moriesian specimen with our versitile mare, Aurora LaBella Luna. Fancy name huh, around the barn she's known as Cotton and has one of the best personalities I've met yet. Cotton has won many ribbons in Pleasure Driving, Combined Driving, Dressage, English Hunt Seat, Confirmation, and Competative Trail.
In 2009 Cotton with be bred to Ivan-Reno son of Nero who took 2 first places in ADT carriage marathon with best combined scores over all entries.
What are we breeding for?
The foal will be a pure 2nd generation Moriesian. This means both parents are the actual cross of a Morgan and Friesian but their offspring is full blooded Moriesian.
The foal will be of medium size ranging from 15hh - 16hh. This foal is garunteed to be a rich black color with thick skin, shinny coat, long mane and tail with possibly some fethering. Hooves are strong and rarely require shoing unless ridden on hard surfaces for extended periods of time.
The foals action will be light and athletic with thick neck and legs.
Personality will be unmatched. Both Morgans and Friesians are known for their willingness and obedience. Both parents are very inquisitive and not frightened easily. When presented with an obstacle they are very willing to move forward and investigate rather than turn tail and run making them great carriage and trail horses. They are calm and gentile and crave human interaction. They train very easily and are forgiving to mistakes, making them the ideal parther for someone who wants to grow with their horse from weanling to seasoned athlete.
So how do you get one?
Cotton will be bred Spring of 2009 for a Spring of 2010 foal. If truely interested the foal will be for sale in-utero for $7,000. Price will increase after foaling depending on sex and level of training. Contact me for more information.
