A TOUCH OF ELEGANCE 1985 Bay Mare

'Ellie' had a tremendous influence on Ridgewood. She was an own daughter of Wham Bam Command and we were elated to get her. We bred her to Tara's Cherokee, crossing back into Trophy and In Command bloodlines, not unlike the Tara Farm program we studied so closely. The resulting foal would be named the 2000 World Champion Mare, RWF Noelle. That win with Noelle changed the face of Ridgewood and propelled us to set sail on a new course of breeding excellence, or so it seemed. The following year, while she was foaling a bay colt by Cedar Creekharlequin, Ellie died - and in losing her we lost our hearts as well. We miss her as much today as we did the day she left us. She was a once-in-a-lifetime mare and we are grateful for the short time we owned her. Since then Ridgewood has been re-born but we remember our foundation mares and hold them very dear.

APOGEE KILLER BEA 1989 Chestnut Mare

Bea came to retire at Ridgewood in Colorado. She was given to us by Drs. Ray and Allison Bendele to enjoy for pleasure riding around the farm. Bea had been shown many times as a Western Pleasure mare and that good training made her a wonderful trail horse. We lost Bea all too soon, but are grateful to have had her for the short time that we did. She was a special part of our lives and we remember her fondly.

BEALOVED 1980 Bay Mare

I remember walking past her stall at the Jubilee show and thinking she was the most beautiful yearling I had ever seen. She was sired by Beamine and had his trademark huge eyes and tight swivel ears. She was, in every aspect, exquisite. At the time, she was owned by Jaklee Farm in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Steve Quaid was her trainer at the time and also a mentor and friend of mine. Years later, when Jaklee Farm was dispersing most of their herd, Steve made Bealoved available to me. For Ridgewood she produced RWF Dearly Bealoved by Irish Ebony. We lost her to a brain tumor, an untimely death for a very elegant mare. When I'm thinking of Bealoved, I'm taking a walk down memory lane. She was very special to me.

BEAMING BEAUTY 1977 Bay Mare

When Beaming Beauty became available for sale via auction, I was excited. We had owned her full sister and full brother and an opportunity to purchase Beauty was a dream come true. We quickly made arrangements to purchase her prior to the sale and she came to make her new home in Michigan. Beauty was as lovely as her photos suggest. She was a big mare and absolutely beautiful. For Ridgewood, she produced one foal, RWF Lord Of The Dance, sired by Valiant Tony. Lord Of The Dance is owned by James Ivorie Fors in Pittsfield, PA. We feel fortunate to have owned Beaming Beauty and feel blessed that such a lovely mare was able to spend her golden years under the expert care of Jan Currie at Elysian Fields.

BRIEF ENCOUNTER 1987 Chestnut Gelding

He was with us such a short time - just months - yet his unexpected passing brought incredible pain to our lives. We will never forget the joy he brought to us, his stoicism through pain he did not let us see, the passing of a legend. Brief Encounter won multiple World titles for the Galatz family and later Tara Farm. He came to Ridgewood to retire. We planned a retirement party for him at the Circle J Horse Show and he attended as though he were the king. The very next day, he was gone. Goodbye, dear friend....we will NEVER forget you.

CBMF FIRE AND ICE 1999 Chestnut Mare

One of our astute purchases at the 2007 Copper Dragon Sale, Fire and Ice features the successful combination of Noble Flaire and Vigilmarch. We have included photos of two of her sons; CBMF Hot Wired, a bay gelding by Ben's Rhapsody, and RWF Money Talks, a chestnut colt by DBA Street Talk (Serenity Masterpiece X Kinglow's Cherish). CONGRATULATIONS to Bruce and Jean Beckman on your selection of this wonderful mare. Beckman's plan to breed Belle to Minion Millennium for a 2011 foal.

COBRIDGE MAXIMUM AFFAIR 1995 Chestnut Mare

Maxine was a breeder's dream and we are proud of our friends Brenda and Doug Coats for breeding her. We purchased her sight unseen in partnership with our good friend Dick Phillips as a yearling from a video tape sent to us by Phil Fountain. Phil showed her to Reserve World Champion Mare honors as a two year old, standing behind Tara's Anasazi. We then sold her to Marilyn Esteb where Melissa Wahl showed her to the Grand National Champion Ladies Pleasure Driving Championship. She now grazes the pastures at Playmor Farm and is producing top show horses for the Hazen family's breeding program. She brought great joy to our lives and to the lives of those who know her. We continue to follow her career with enthusiasm.

EXCITING 1989 Bay Stallion

He was a hot bay stallion who came trotting out of his stall over level every day. A small but game harness horse we loved to hook him and enjoy him as a harness horse on the farm. For Ridgewood he produced just one foal, a beautiful bay filly we named RWF Natalia. Natalia was out of a good show mare in her day, Arkomia Tallahassee. We sold Natalia as a weanling and the last we heard she was being enjoyed as a family pleasure horse in Wyoming.

FAITH HILL 1995 Bay Mare

Julie went shopping and returned with the coming yearling filly, Faith Hill. I was speechless when she looked at me and said 'Anything can happen if you have a little Faith!' Faith went on to be the first yearling to win the Circle J Yearling Futurity Championship. Her career continued with a Grand National win in Oklahoma, also as a yearling. We later sold her and she now continues her show ring career as a hunter pleasure mare. We've always thought she was a beautiful mare and are proud that she was one of the early Ridgewood-owned champions. And Julie was right; amazing things can happen if you keep the faith!

FCF ELANA 1985 Chestnut Mare

Elana was sired by one of our favorite stallions, Sorento, and out of the good producing mare, Brentwood Lady Lea. She also carries the distinction of having produced the first RWF-bred World Champion, RWF Victorious, by Duke of Wynne. Elana was a typey mare with a great shoulder and a lot of talent. She passed these traits on to her produce, of which there were far too few. She was a foundation mare for Ridgewood and one that we revere even to this day.

FCF LALIQUE 1990 Black Mare

I remember the day I met Lalique in person. I had flown to Raintree Farm to see a foal, Raintree Celine. Stabled across the aisle were FCF Lalique and a black weanling filly, Raintree Joyous. Any thoughts of buying a filly stopped in that moment and I quietly wondered how I could get Lalique. As if fate were listening to my dream, Barb asked if I had an interest in leasing Lalique. I immediately said yes and immediately bred her to Centerpiece. The resulting filly was the World Champion Mare, RWF Over The Rainbow. We still own Lalique and have two of her daughters on the farm as well - Raintree Joyous and Raintree Crystal, on lease from Lowry Stables. We hold Lalique in the highest regard and hope to get her back in foal in 2010.

FLAIRE DE LARK 1988 Chestnut Gelding

We called him 'Luke', and he was perhaps Jake's favorite Morgan of all time. He was one of the early Ridgewood Morgans, a son of Waseeka's Skylark and Hylee's Justintime. We sold Luke as a two year old to Shelby Guelich of Temecula, California, but then he was given back to Ridgewood after a chain of events. Jake showed him successfully in harness, and Tara Lindeen (now Good) showed him under saddle. To the best of our knowledge, Luke is still alive and living his days at Hylee Farm in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin as a lesson horse. We are so grateful to have owned this wonderful horse in our early years. These are the Morgans that helped solidify our love for the breed and our lifelong passion of owning them.

HF NORTH BORN 1981 Chestnut Gelding

His name morphed from 'North Born' to 'Nanook of the North' to 'Nook.' And he was a blast. We bought him in utero and he carried the HF prefix (Harmonette Farm) as that was the precursor to Ridgewood's RWF. Scottie Matton showed him for us in two year old park harness and despite his airs above the ground, was able to keep him between the shafts long enough to win a class or two for us. We sold Nook to Shamrock Farm in Kentucky, where he became a National winning show gelding for Ashley Taylor Wilson and her brother, Ethan. In that role, he was a very special horse and I believe he died at Shamrock Farm--a beloved member of their family.

HVK IRISH HIGH 1996 Bay Mare

Irish is a full sister to multi World-titled HVK Bell Flaire. We purchased her at the 2009 Copper Beech Sale. She is a joy to have in the barn as her personality is endearing and kind. When she walks out the barn door she flags and primps like a park mare--just the attitude we love to see in our broodmares. Irish is in foal to DBA Street Talk for 2010, making this foal yet another of the golden Flaire/Masterpiece cross. CONGRATULATIONS to Bruce and Jean Beckman on your selection of this mare. We wish you much success with both Irish and her Street Talk foal.

HVK NOBLE ROSE 1991 Bay Mare

Noble Rose is an exquisite mare. She is the type that will flag her tail and primp around the pasture like a show mare, even in her golden years. For Ridgewood, she produced two top colts by Centerpiece: RWF Noble Peace and RWF Peaceful Warrior. Our hearts were saddened when Rose lost a filly in 2009 by the late Queen's Romeo, as we had very high hopes for this cross. The good news is that Rose is back in foal for Debbie LaMay of JDL Morgans in Michigan, and we wish them all the success that Ridgewood has had with this truly great daughter of Noble Flaire.

HYLEE SADIE HAWKINS 1998 Chestnut Mare

I met 'Sadie' at Country Manor Farm in Cannon Falls, MN as a yearling. Jackie Millet, now Sweeney, owned CMF before it later took on the name of it's predecessor, Hylee Farm. Sadie was an impressive yearling and you could pick her out in a pasture as the most beautiful, the most upheaded, the most talented. She went on to storm the show ring by winning a World title in Oklahoma in Two Year Old Park Harness. Years later, Sadie came to Ridgewood through the generosity of Bob and Debi Boies, Landrum, South Carolina. She had one foal for us, RWF Tuscany, before her much-too-early death. We are fortunate to have her full sister, Hylee's Dirty Dancing, in our group of mares. She is different than her sister, but there is no denying the family resemblance.

HYLEE'S JUSTINTIME 1971 Chestnut Mare

'Tina' holds a special place in our hearts, as she is the mare that served as the foundation for our love of producing Morgan horses. For us, she produced Thunderbolt TBM and Northernaire--both by Rimlo Black Valiant. In addition, she produced the winning show gelding Flaire De Lark by Waseeka's Skylark and the first Morgan to carry the RWF prefix, RWF Kristina, by Irish Ebony. She also produced a lovely chestnut filly by Sorento that we named RWF Best Of Times. Mention Tina in the presence of myself or Jake Hendzel and you'll get the same instant response--'she was the best of the best.' We loved this grand old mare.

I STAND ALONE 1990 Chestnut Mare

I Stand Alone's contribution to our program has been significant--two fillies, RWF Songbird by Hylee's Galaxy Seven, and RWF Estelle by MEM The Patriot. 'London' is also the dam of the winning show gelding, Meet Joe Black, and the winning harness horse, CBMF Stand By Me. She is now retired and spending her time grazing with her Masterpiece sisters, Rights of Passage and Slip Into Silk.

INTRINSIC BEAUTY 1994 Bay Mare

Beauty left us much too soon, but prior to her passing she blessed us with two wonderful foals. They are World Champion RWF Paganini and the up and coming prospect, RWF Whamerican Beauty. Paganini, sired by Beethoven, won the World Champion Junior Gelding Championship as a yearling in Oklahoma. Whamerican Beauty, now two, was recently purchased by Mountain Aspen Morgans as a show prospect and future broodmare. When Beauty died, she was under the vigilant care of the Martin family and Aljak Acres. For those of you who have seen Aljak Acres, you know she passed while enjoying a little slice of Heaven on earth. We are blessed to know she had such wonderful care in her final days.

IRISH EBONY 1980 Black Stallion

When we were first into Morgans, we fell in love with the Beamington offspring. We had seen Irish Ebony as a yearling at the Jubilee Regional Show and were later able to purchase him as an adult stallion from the Dodson family. He sired several foals for us and some of our clients before we sold him to Dave and Carol Allen in Wisconsin. In addition to Ebony, we owned his dam, Irish Ecstasy, and his sisters, Irish Oh My and Beaming Beauty. We tried hard to buy Irish Elegance, too, but couldn't quite get that done! It was a family affair--the 'Beamingtons' bring back wonderful memories of our early days with the Morgan horse.

IRISH ECSTASY 1970 Chestnut Mare

To have had the opportunity to own Ecstasy was an honor. Through our pastures had passed Irish Oh My, Beaming Beauty, Irish Ebony, all by Beamington and ultimately the foal 'Stasy' was carrying when she came to us, FCF Anastasia, by Sorento. We are blessed to have had Stasy spend her final years with us at our farm in Michigan. She was extraordinarily elegant. Her fourth offspring by Beamington, Irish Elegance, was most reminiscent of her dam.

IRISH OH MY 1979 Bay Mare

I remember Doris Ryan telling me Oh My named herself - those were the first words out of Doris' mouth when she saw the newborn at the side of her dam, Irish Ecstasy. Oh My was the first yearling to win the National Futurity class in Oklahoma with her handler, Steve Quaid, for Jaklee Farms in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Oh My and Bealoved were two fillies at Jaklee Farm that I loved and I'm so grateful they eventually spent time at Ridgewood. It was Irish Oh My and her siblings, along with Bealoved, that serve as the foundation for my lifelong love of breeding Morgan show horses.

JW ROMANTIC MEMORIES 1995 Bay Mare

Romantic Memories is a full-bodied, high-headed hot mare. She is out of Noble Airess making her a maternal sister to many of the great JW-prefix horses including JW That Special Flaire. She is a model broodmare and has had outstanding foals including Frosted Flake by Mainframe, RWF Tres Jolie by Futurity French Command, RWF Indigo Girl by Mainframe and RWF Belenardo by HVK Man About Town. We did not re-breed her in 2009 but plan to breed her to AFF Leroy Brown in 2010. Memo never does anything wrong. She's a good girl in the pasture, gets in foal with a single breeding, foals in a classic textbook fashion, is a protective but rational mother - a joy to own. CONGRATULATIONS to Bruce and Jean Beckman on the addition of Memo to your breeding program. The Beckmans plan to bree Memo to Spice Of Life Present Tense for a 2011 foal. We wish you much success.

LIV REALITY STAR 2004 Bay Mare

Reality Star is an exquisite mare, a worthy representative of her impressive pedigree. Like all the Masterpiece mares, she has incredible drive off her hocks. 'Judi' has charisma and a showy attitude. Leading her around outside is a joy as her tail is over her back and her head is high in the air. A young mare, she produced a very nice bay colt by Ben's Rhapsody that we named RWF On The Reverse. We sold this colt as a yearling and will be watching him with his first-time Morgan owner, Rebeka Murray, in the future.

MERWIN CARAMORE 1989 Bay Mare

There are a lot of fun stories around our association with 'Carrie', but perhaps the most amusing of them involves Miss Judy Whitney Harris. We were showing Carrie at the Jubilee Regional Show and Judy had a client interested in purchasing Carrie. The deal was closed pending the usual vet inspection--or so we thought. We all agreed to meet at 8:00 AM for the vet check exam, but rather than showing up with her vet, Judy showed up with a halter and lead shank. Judy looked at me and said 'Honey, is this mare sound?' I replied that yes, Ma'am, she was indeed sound. 'I'll take your word for that son, and in the event it turns out you're not a man of your word I'll be giving you a phone call.' That was the vet check. Caramore is now owned by Dr. Robert Jones in Missouri and continues to produce outstanding foals for him.

OAK CREEK CHIEF OF STAFF 1992 Bay Gelding

Chief is a show horse from ears to tail. He is one of the favorite geldings we've owned because he was always so game and ready to show. Throughout his career he made numerous victory passess with Wendell Williams, Jennifer Kellert and others. Every time he stepped into the show ring it was to win and often that's exactly what he did. Chief continues his winning ways under the ownership of Margaret J. Brown in Dehli, New York, where he is still one of the top winning amateur pleasure driving horses in the Mid-Atlantic area.

PRELUDE TO PASSION 1990 Chestnut Mare

Passion spent just a short time with Ridgewood Farm, but during that time we decided to breed her to Aljaks Double Whammy. She was sold to Ann Hailey's Copper Beech Morgans with that foal in utero. The resulting colt is the top winning CBMF Double Down, or 'Kenny' as he is affectionately known. Had this been her only foal, she would have made her mark, but Passion continues to be a top producing mare for Ann and we continue to watch her--and her CBMF foals--very closely. She is an extraordinary mare--a full sister to the great producer Pompp And Pazazz, as well as our own Slip Into Silk.

RAINTREE JOYOUS 2004 Black Mare

Sired by Astonomicalle and out of World Champion producer FCF Lalique, Joy carries valuable Wham Bam Command blood through her granddam, Liberation Starbrite. She is a maternal sister to WC Raintree Picasso and WC RWF Over The Rainbow. We bred Joy in 2009 to Rose Valley Very Impressive and are anxious to see her first foal in 2010.

RWF ESTELLE 2009 Bay Mare

We saved this name for a very special filly and Stella is just that. She is a beautiful girl and so reminiscent of her dam, I Stand Alone. Pretty as a picture and inquisitive as a cat, Stella has been drawn to humans from the day she was born. Her big brother, Meet Joe Black, has been a good show horse and we have high hopes that Stella will be the same.

RWF SONGBIRD 2008 Bay Mare

'Exotic' is the only word to describe 'Cassidy'. She is out of a Serenity Masterpiece daughter, I Stand Alone, who is also the dam of the winning show gelding Meet Joe Black. Her sire is the HVK Bell Flaire son, Hylee's Galaxy Seven, making her yet another of the Flaire/Masterpiece cross that has worked so well for us and others. Cassidy is a big, stretchy mare with perhaps the most exotic, pencil-fine neck and throat of any we have bred. She is a talented filly with a lot of size and an equal amount of show-horse attitude. This filly is going places in a very big way. We are proud to offer her for sale and invite your inquiry

SMS COMMAND DECISION 1993 Bay Gelding

'Mando' was a horse that we enjoyed a great deal as a young in-hand and harness horse. He was bred well and his looks matched his pedigree. In an interesting twist of events, we realized that his real place in life was as a Western horse. So, with that in mind, we traded him for a mare from Dale and Teri Rickford named A Touch Of Elegance. History in the making. We bred Ellie to Tara's Cherokee and the resulting filly was the 2000 World Champion Mare, RWF Noelle. Sometimes bartering can be a win/win situation as Mando was equally successful for Rickford Training Stable. These are the kinds of stories that make us smile.

STONECROFT SEDONA 1995 Bay Gelding

We bought 'Sid' as a weanling from Tara Farm. We had seen him at the Jubilee Show and really liked him. Julie and I collectively agreed that he'd be a good speculation horse, and he turned out to be just that--for us and for others. He was sired by Tara's Cherokee, a World Champion himself and a sire of note, and out of the Waseeka's In Command daughter, Charisma Command. He won several championships in hand and in harness for Cricket Coleman, who purchased him from us as a two year old. He was a bit difficult to start, but ended up being a World Champion show horse. As Tommy Caisse once said to me, the great ones have always got to be a little crazy! Sid was a great one. :-)

TARA'S CAROLINA 1995 Bay Mare

I wish we had been able to keep Carolina long enough to realize her potential. We bought her as a weanling from Tara Farm. She was out of the great Trophy daughter, Southerly Capella, and was sired by Tara's War Paint, a horse I believe to be one of the coolest Morgans to ever live (War Paint is now owned by Dragonsmeade and spends his time in their pastures in Kentucky). We sold Carolina as a two year old due to personal circumstances, but believed then, and now, she would have gone far as a show mare and broodmare. We look at her photos and are reminded of how much we loved her.

TARA'S COTILLION 1979 Bay Mare

We salute Tara's Cotillion as she was our initial introduction to Tara Farm and the beginning of a friendship that continues today. I first saw Cotillion at the Morgan Grand National when she was just two years old, and went to visit her in her stall. I continued my following of the Tara Farm horses for decades and feel my study of their breeding program has helped shape the decisions we make in the RWF program today, relative to effective linebreeding. Cotillion came to Ridgewood late in life and produced just one foal for us, RWF Dances With Wolves, a bay colt sired by one of our favorite Tara Farm stallions, Tara's War Paint.

TARA'S RACHEL 1994 Bay Mare

Tara's Rachel is sired by one of Ridgewood's favorite horses, Tara's Supreme Fox. We bought her because she was out of the incomparable Southerly Maria, one of the greatest producing mares of all time. Though we added her to our group of select mares, she never had a foal for us as we sold her to Marilyn Esteb of Stone Pine Farm in Larkspur, Colorado. As you can see from the photos, she is a beautiful mare. We are always happy when we visit Stone Pine Farm and get to say hello to Rachel. She's been a wonderful producer for Marilyn, as we always knew she would be.

TARA'S SABLE 1994 Dark Bay Mare

Sable was our princess. We first saw her at the Jubilee Regional Morgan Horse Show as a yearling and we knew we had to own her. We bought her on the spot and brought her home with us to Michigan. She was perhaps one of the most beautiful mares we have owned and a daughter of Tara's Cherokee, a sire we continue to hold in very high regard. Sable produced two foals for us. The first was a bay colt by Nobility that we named RWF Bay De Noc. He is pictured at her side in the photograph. She is also the dam of Joe Partain's good Harlequin mare, RWF DiBella. Sable is now owned by Roxanne Sardelli and we were delighted recently see so many beautiful photos of her on the Sarde Morgans website.

TARA'S SUPREME FOX 1989 Brown Gelding

Tara's Supreme Fox was one of Ridgewood's all-time favorite horses. It broke our hearts to have to sell him due to relocation and new circumstances. He was the kind of horse that loved to be hooked and driven down the logging trails in rural Northern Michigan. He would take care of a child, an adult, or an experienced whip. He had an ears-up cocky attitude and a heart as big as life itself. He was a blessing in our lives and we miss him greatly.

THUNDERBOLT TBM 1979 Black Stallion

T-Bolt was an impressive black stallion son of Rimlo Black Valiant and our foundation mare, Hylee's Justintime. We had great fun showing him as a yearling at the North Star Morgan Show and winning the yearling futurity there. We also showed him as a two year old in hand and in harness very successfully at the regional level--Jackie Sweeney was his trainer. T-Bolt died of a twisted intestine late in his two year old year and we were devastated. It was our first experience losing a horse to colic and a very painful process for us. We have fond memories of Thunderbolt even though he was with us for a very short time.

TRE MASTER OF DISGUISE 2002 Brown Stallion

I said 'No No No!' and Julie said 'Yes Yes Yes!' when we purchased 'Marty' as a long weanling. Julie saw the potential that I seemed to have missed as he went on to be named the 2003 Reserve World Champion Stallion when competing in OKC as a yearling. We later sold him to Debra Hurst Walters who had her own success with this great stallion before she, in turn, sold him to Deb Phelan. Deb currently owns and shows him successfully as an amateur horse and he still collects championships in hand and in harness every year. The photos presented here were taken during Marty's successful yearling year when he was owned by Ridgewood.

ULTRA'S NOW AND FOREVER 2002 Bay Mare

Through the years, we have enjoyed our friendship with Steve and Annette Smith and their Ultra Morgans. We purchased HVK Noble Rose from them, as well as Now and Forever, and they purchased RWF Wild Child from us. We saw Now And Forever in the Breeder's Sweepstakes (see photo) and we made arrangements to purchase her for Ridgewood. We showed her through her yearling year prior to selling her out East where she continues to be a winning show mare for her owners in New York.

VALIANT TONY 1980 Bay Stallion

SHEER JOY are the words that come to mind when I think of our association with Valiant Tony. We are indebted to Mrs. Pugh for sharing him with us in his senior years. He produced just two foals for us, a chesnut gelding out of FCF Elana that we named RWF Triumphant, and a bay colt out of Beaming Beauty that we named RWF Lord Of The Dance. We were devastated when Tony broke his leg at Ridgewood but, through the expertise of the veterinarians at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he was able to live a long, happy and wonderful life under the care of Jan Currie at Elysian Fields. Much can be said about his show career with Whitney Stables, but for us it was just a love affair with a great Morgan stallion. Rest well, dear friend....

WINDEN MAI TAI 2006 Bay Mare

We spotted Mai Tai on Tami Johnson's website and knew, in the moment, we needed to own her. We had never seen such a laid-back shoulder on a weanling in all our years in the breed. And to top it off, she had a four-cornered balanced trot and the attitude of a show horse at a very early age. It's no wonder, though, as she is linebred to Beamington and when you say Beamington you say 'show!' Brian Berry and Victoria Markley visited Ridgewood and they knew they wanted to own her. She now makes her home at RDL Morgans in Santa Cruz, New Mexico.

WINGS OF FIRE 1988 Chestnut Gelding

Gosh! He was a great horse. We never showed Fire, but I can't think of a week when we owned him that we didn't hook him to a buggy and drive down roads and logging trails and over hill and dale. He was an absolute blast. We used to set up obstacle courses for him and drive him through them and I was convinced then, and now, that carriage driving would be something I would love. Julie got over her fear of driving thanks to Fire. He was hot, but sensible, a little more horse than she was accustomed to driving. But drive she did and he took care of her. Fire was a very very good boy!

WYNNE COMMOTION 1978 Bay Stallion

Most people who know Morgans and have been around for a good long while remember Wynne Commotion. He survived a fire in Michigan and endured burns across the majority of his body. A good sire of show horses and broodmares, he sired 66 foals before coming to us late in life. We spoiled him, keeping him knee-deep in straw and shrouded both summer and winter in blankets that would protect him from the sun and the snow. A beautiful son of Waseeka's In Command, we include him here in tribute to his greatness of heart. We were blessed to have him at Ridgewood and in our lives. Rest well, old boy.
