MTNTOP WHIPPOORWILL TANEK
(Whippoorwill Talisman X Spring Lake Katefly)
2005 black stallion (EE aa), 100% Foundation
Tanek's slideshow video from birth to 3 years old
This boy is the horse of my dreams and one of my Heart horses here at MtnTop Morgans.
I was very blessed and grateful that Mary Jean Vasiloff of McCulloch Farms leased
her wonderful stallion Whippoorwill Talisman to my mother and I. Breeding "Tali"
to my favorite mare "Katie" produced this incredible 100% Foundation stallion. There
is never any doubt that Tanek is a Morgan. And I knew this when he was less than
three days old. So much so that I gelded and sold the stallion I had on my farm and
I haven't been disappointed yet. Tanek has correct conformation, a wonderful head
and his movement is elegant, efficient and exciting to watch. He has passed on his
elegance to his foals and they are just as fantastic to watch as he is. He will add
a great hip, short back and a fantastic shoulder to his offspring. Tanek has the
most natural knee action and correct hock movement I have seen in a long time; never
once has anything artificial been added to enhance his movements. Throw in a beautiful
head and his foals scream Morgan.
Tanek traces back to "Figure" over 11 times in 12 generations. He goes back to Jubilee
King through all of his grandparents with a nice touch of Lippitt and Flyhawk. And
he traces to Winterset through Blackwood Correll. Every line of this guy is rich
in old blood and very up close in his pedigree. Tanek comes from a long line of versatile
Morgans with Champions in Reining, Driving, Dressage, Western pleasure, Hunter, Park
and Endurance. He can most assuredly help produce versatile Morgan Champions in the
future as well as loveable wonderful family horses.
I was very excited at his birth knowing I could pass along such wonderful quality
Morgans in the future. The added surprise was when I had Tanek color tested and low
and behold he came back E/E a/a. This means he is homozygous for black and can only
produce black based foals- he will NEVER produce a chestnut foal.
Currently Tanek is not standing to the public. If you are interested in owning one
of his foals please let me know. I have quality mares here that he can be bred to.
Both of Taneks 2013 foals have arrived a beautiful 100 % Foundation Homozygous for
black colt (SOLD) and a 99% Foundation smoky black colt (still For Sale). Please
check out the For Sale page for more information.

MTNTOP SIR GALLANT KNIGHT
(Universal Gold Card X Spring Lake Katefly)
2013 smokey black stallion (EecrCR) 100% Foundation, pictured at 3 days old
When I purchased Sir G’s sire, Universal Gold Card, the main reason was to breed
Sir G’s dam to him. Just after breeding them in 2013 we sadly lost Universal Gold
Card. So I was keeping my fingers crossed that Katie would continue with her tradition
and give me a colt. She didn’t fail me and this boy is AWESOME.
Just like his half brother, Tanek, Sir G traces back to "Figure" over 11 times in
12 generations. He goes back to Jubilee King through all of his grandparents with
a nice touch of Lippitt and Flyhawk. He has an AMAZING 10 crosses to Squire Burger
all within the 5th through 8th generation. He has that added bonus of the lovely
Californio lines and well as the touch of Blackwood Correll lines. Talk about old
blood. Every line of this guy is rich in old blood and very up close in his pedigree.
Sir G comes from a long line of versatile Morgans with Champions in Reining, Driving,
Dressage, Western pleasure, Hunter, Park and Endurance. He can most assuredly help
produce versatile Morgan Champions in the future as well as loveable wonderful family
horses. Stay tuned and watch him grow with us
