The Morgans of T Bar K are born and
raised in the high country of Idaho and Montana, this makes for a very
agile, sure-footed animal that knows how to handle themselves in tough
situations. Being raised under these conditions is very healthy physically
and mentally. Because of our interests (big game hunting, back country
fishing, horse camping) it is imperative that our horses are adapt to this
type of environment.
These same bloodlines are also
descendants of the Morgans used on some of the biggest cattle ranches
in California, Nevada and Texas in development of the rang elands out west.
The T Bar K Morgans have lots of cow savvy and have been used extensively
in the cattle business before selling out. Although these bloodlines
are still being bred and used as ranch horses by many they are also sought
after by Sporthorse enthusiasts. These horses are known for their
good minds, substance and stamina.
It is a goal to preserve these bloodlines
for future generations and at the same time bring these horses back
to the stock horse arena. In their day many of these Morgans were
top cutting horses...up against all breeds. Over the years with the
decline of the large ranches and more mechanized use, the Morgan has been
bred for the show ring. Many of these old bloodlines have been lost
forever. I feel it is the responsibility of breeders like myself
to keep what we have and breed true to the bloodlines. The T Bar
K is currently in the process of adding to the existing breeding program
and is excited about the foals to be born yet this spring and the future
offspring to come. |
