Foals due Summer of 2008

Below is some detail of five of our mares who will produce foals to suit all disciplines. We hope for four in 2008.

Mt Tawonga Natasha will have 2008 off after producing an exquisite black filly for us in January 08. Haymeron Park Ruby Jane will join the broodmare paddock, for the first time, in foal to RanchBoss Cortez, to produce a Foundation Morgan foal.

Reserve your choice of Filly or Colt foal now.


Haymeron Park Ruby Jane, our one and only Foundation Morgan Mare is a full Lippett Morgan and will produce Foundation Morgan foals with RanchBoss Cortez, our buckskin western working Foundation Morgan Stallion.

We suspect this mare will produce a colt foal on January 01 2009. The position of the embryo made this one a little harder to detect.

About Haymeron Park Ruby Jane

Haymeron Park Ruby Jane 15hh - Born Nov 2003 - (Karenza Apollo X Karenza Amethyst) is an outstanding mare from full Lippett bloodlines. She is one of 12.6% of mares registered since 2000 who qualify for the elite title of Foundation Morgan.

Ruby Jane (RJ) displays all the historical attributes bestowed upon the Morgan horse. She is a horse who loves to please. She leaves the herd which can be way out of sight over the hill, simply to come to us to say hello and invite us to do something with her, be it a ride or just a scratch. As a green broke horse, with just an hour or two riding under her belt, RJ led a group of horses on a trail ride, as brave as a horse who'd done it a hundred times before.

This wonderful mare has fluid, elastic movement and has competed at Dressage where I proudly accepted the first place ribbons, she so deservedly won. She has also won in the Show Ring, sporting the wide green, Reserve Champion Sash in 2007.

As RJ is colour coat tested as EE AA (two black genes, EE, and two bay genes, AA), she will provide us with either bay or buckskin Foundation foals with Cortez, who will, without doubt, prove to be Morgans with sensible minds and the capability to suit any discipline one chooses.

About RanchBoss Cortez

Ranchboss Cortez 15'2hh - Born April 1999 (Primavera Valdez X Telura's BlackGold) is Australia's very first coloured Morgan. He is a stunning buckskin; his coat shot with spun gold, with the temperament of a gelding but with the presence of a magnificent stallion.

Bred and raised in California USA, by Nina Bates of Bossert Ranch, Cortez was started at the age of five and given three months training as a Western Reining horse, before being leased for stud duties to Wendy Le Gate of Old Growth Morgans stud. Wendy particularly wanted Cortez's Foundation bloodlines as he comes from a rare western working line - as pure as old Californian "ranchhorse" bloodlines come.

Cortez has produced foals from live cover, fresh, frozen and chilled semen. His fertility is unquestionable and he has settled our mares in foal with just one service.

For those interested in colour genetics Cortez is EE Aa Crn - which of course, means a buckskin who will never produce chestnut babies.

Cortez performed extremely well in Dressage in his first year in Australia. Shortly after his arrival in Australia, he qualified for the 2006 Queensland State Dressage Championships in just two outings. He then went to a Reining trainer, and is showing huge potential in that arena as well. Cortez is available for AI - fresh or chilled semen. Enquiries are most welcome.

RJ - 3 years old and just started

Our fabulous black mare Eagleview Skybeau (aka Calypso) is in foal to Ragtime Oro Blanco, a perlino stallion (Imp USA). As she is a black horse, but hiding a chestnut gene (Ee aa) Calypso can give us any of the following; palomino, buckskin, dunskin or smokey black; with this lovely stallion. Dunskin is a buckskin (carrying the dilute cream gene) with the dilution of the Dun gene as well.

We are expecting a coloured colt foal from Calypso in December 2008.

About Eagleview Skybeau

Eagleview Skybeau 14'3hh - Born Nov 1997- (Marvelous Encore X Mt Tawonga Bea) was the first Morgan we purchased. From a three year old to now being a brood mare, she has accomplished much. Even at the age of three she was a steady, sensible trail horse suitable for a nervous, green rider.

She had basic training in western reining, and then was taught some dressage, jumping and has learned how to be a Stockhorse as well. She shows the true versatility of the Morgan.

Skybeau was awarded Supreme Champion at the National Morgan Show as a three month old foal and then, at the age of four, she was awarded High Point Pure Bred of the Show.

This mare can produce a foal that will be superbly athletic, sensible and suitable to any discipline one desires, as she has shown potential in all arenas. Her cow sense is awesome, she is a winner in the Hack Ring and she loves to jump.

Mt Tawonga Natasha (Elegance) joined the Broodmare paddock for a 2007 RanchBoss Cortez foal. Elegance will have 2008 off as her exquisite, black filly foal was born on 22 January 2008.

We would love to have tried this cross again as the resulting foal was exactly what we wish to breed. Beautiful and elegant and so very athletic! We will wait until next season to try this winning combination again.

About Mt Tawonga Natasha

Mt Tawonga Natasha 15'1hh - Born Oct 1999 - (Marvelous EncoreX Mt Tawonga Margaret) is a true performance mare from Lippett & Government Lines.

MT Natasha is known to us as 'Elegance' because of her graceful style and way of going. She has performed well, as a green broke horse with a very new, nervous competitor on her back, through to State Championships at Novice level. She was training at Elementary Level, with some Medium work as well at the end of the 2006 season.

Elegance (colour genetics Ee Aa) will provide us with performance foals from both RanchBoss Cortez and Ragtime Oro Blanco. With Cortez she will produce black, smokey black, bay and buckskin babies and with Ragtime Oro Blanco she will throw smokey black, buskskin, dunskin or palomino.


Mt Tawonga Natasha - her first year of competition


Red Bluff Paprika is in foal to RanchBoss Cortez again for a 2008 baby, due around 01 December. This is an awesome cross, so we look forward to another just like Golden Ash, her first buckskin foal.

Paprika has been colour tested and is ee Aa, which means she hides a bay gene under that chestnut coat. This means she can produce black, smokey black, buckskin or bay foals with Cortez, and smokey black, buckskin, dunskin or palomino foals with Casper (Ragtime Oro Blanco). She will never give us a chestnut foal ... amazing, hey!

We expect a Filly foal from Paprika this year.

About Red Bluff Paprika

Red Bluff Paprika 14'3hh - Born Dec 2002 - (Taproot Messenger X Mt Tawonga Evonne) has the temperament of the true Morgan.

Morgans are renowned for being a "thinking" horse, with laid-back natures and Paprika fits this description perfectly. Nothing fazes this mare.

She has been lightly started and has amazed us with just how 'laid back' she is. The farrier trims her in the paddock without a halter, the Vet ultrasounds her without a halter, and she stands to be hosed down without a halter. Truly an unflappable horse.

Paprika's movement is ideal for the western horse. She is as smooth as glass to ride.

Our beautiful big chestnut mare, Mt Tawonga Marrella is a mare that produces foals with kind dispositions, size and movement.

Marrella has been tested in foal to RanchBoss Cortez and as she has produced two superb foals for us with Mt Tawonga Tarraji and Ragtime Oro Blanco, we feel sure this combination will be a winner.

Marrella is the same colour coat as Paprika - ee Aa - so the same foal colour combinations are possible - no chestnut foals!

This foal will also be a Filly, due at the beginning of Dec. 08

About Mt Tawonga Marrella

Mt Tawonga Marrella 15'hh - Born Feb 2001 - (Wawayanda Watchout X Aura Dell Misty) was purchased in foal so has never been started. She will be a wonderful broodmare for us for years to come.

Marrella has a lovely ground covering, floating movement, and her foal, Wilga Park Tippuhana, has inherited that movement along with a sensible and sweet nature that is always willing to please. Her second foal, Wilga Park Madagascar, by Ragtime Oro Blanco, is something quite special as well.

We will never know her potential as a riding horse. However, we believe her foals will be testimony to her untried talents.

About Ragtime Oro Blanco

Ragtime Oro Blanco 15hh - Born 2001 - (Robbie Sue's Mr Alert X CAS Twilight Amber) is a magnificent perlino stallion and he has progeny in USA, Switzerland and Canada. His colour coat test is Ee Aa CrCr Dn.

We have formed a syndicate with two other discerning breeders to import frozen semen from this eye-catching, typey stallion to guarantee us 100% colour with every foal.

In the States he is owned by a closed syndicate and is not available to outside mares. Only his progeny are available.

We consider ourselves lucky to be part of this partnership and fortunate to be able to breed coloured foals with excellent temperament, type and sound conformation using this stallion with our fabulous mares.
