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. Tanek will stand to a limited 2 outside mares for 2012.
His stud fee is $850 LFG.

UNIVERSAL GOLD CARD (Gold
Cross Suncatcher x Whippoorwill Memento)
2000 buckskin stallion (Ee Aa N/Cr)
Well I am very excited to
announce the newest addition to our herd. There is a cute story to this that I
would like to share. I have this very dear friend, you know the kind, that loves
to search for horses and then helps you spend your money so you can add them to
your herd. Well just before Easter 2010 I received this email titled "be still
my heart" and inside it read OMG OMG OMG!!! So I of course have to follow the link to
the
listing. Seeing his picture I, too, started to drool and then my mind started racing as I read the name. Well goodness
I should like him not only is he the sire of my palomino mare, BRMF The Yellow Rose but he has all the bloodlines that I love.
Universal Gold Card, aka Rowdy, has bloodlines that fit so perfectly into my breeding plan it is almost as if I designed him myself.
He is a very strongly bred Whippoorwill Morgan and has 21.88% of Whippoorwill Duke blood,
and a total of 14 crosses to Jubilee King within 9 generations. Add in the wonderful Red Correll lines and then the much sought
after Californio lines with two crosses to his sire Tio Lalo. I am just in heaven over these lines.
Well I needed another stallion like I needed another hole in my head but on Easter Sunday, 2010, my husband and
I drove down to see him and a couple others listed for sale. We fell in love in an instant when we met Rowdy.
So I am very pleased that we were able to bring him home and I would love to thank Christine for helping me get everything worked out and to Imo Jeanne Williams for selling him to me,
enabling her husband Jack Williams' (who passed away in the fall of 2009) bloodlines
to continue on. And of course a HUGE thank you to my dear friend Laura Behning for finding him online. Rowdy will stand to a limited 2 outside mares for 2012.
His stud fee is $850 LFG.

SPRINGLAKE PALLIDIN (Spring Lake Peter D X Dulcie Lenda) 2004 brown stallion
YouTube video of Pal
"Pal" is a wonderful, 100% foundation stallion all wrapped up in a rich brown color. He has some of the oldest
Morgan blood one can find anywhere. And all up close and personal in his pedigree. His 4th generation
pedigree reads like a who’s who of old timers, Squire Burger, Whippoorwill Duke, Lippitt Sam, Senator Graham,
Ulendon and Panfair are some of those famous sires. Match that up to equally impressive mares like Flyette
(a Flyhawk daughter), Jenny Lake, Monty, Lippitt Dusky Kate and Lippitt Ethan Ann along with the great producer Diana-Mansfield.
Pal has a beautiful head, all nice and dishy with tiny tippy ears and the kindest eyes. Built like a brick house from short cannon bones and
a hip and shoulder to die for, this young man has a fabulous temperament that makes him a great package deal. He is bred for conformation
and temperament and passes that on to his offspring.
Due to an injury that occurred while breeding an outside mare, Pal's breeding will be very
limited. Standing to approved outside mares on private treaty.

SPRING LAKE THISTLE (Yankee's Anhingo X Southbrook Trophy's Summer)
2004 chestnut stallion

Thistle is proof of a long time breeding program that works. Rich in Jubilee King blood through both his sire and dam.
Bring in multiple crosses to the great Trophy and toss in some Lippitt and Flyhawk and you can’t go wrong with him.
Thistle is built like the statue of Figure. Super hip and short back with an
incredible shoulder. Put in a beautiful head with a wonderful eye and you would
know he was a Morgan both coming and going. Thistle is a thinker
and a lover. One of the sweetest easiest going stallions I have met to date. He
has been trained to ride and children from all ages of 8 to 78 years old can
ride him. Give this guy a puzzle and he will solve it; Rubik's cube should be
no problem for him. His movement is elegant and he has a super temperament. Ask
him to do something and he just does it. Top that all off with a showman
attitude and he is a load of fun to be around and ride and train.
Thistle stands at Spring Lake Farm in Lake Wales FL and will stand to the public
there in 2011 with a stud fee of $650.
