Fainters North Hero, Vermont - (802) 372-3080 Dedicated
breeders of Colored Morgan Sporthorses, Labrabor Retrievers & Rare
Tennessee Fainting Goats
SC Morgans
is located in the Lake Champlain Valley region of Vermont on the small island of North Hero. We are mainly a breeding farm striving
to preserve and produce large bodied "Old" style Morgans with a splash of
COLOR! Our horses are versatile enough for the Sport horse world, eye catching
for the show ring, yet quiet enough for the family friend. Our bloodlines are a
rich blend of old Brunk and Gov't breeding. Our whole herd carries some very
old, hard to find genetics. We strive to preserve some very Rare Jubilee King
lines and are blending them with Red Correll, certain Flyhawk and other 'old
family' lines. Good dispositions and work ethics seem to come down through these
lines.
We have
been very successful in flushing and freezing embryos from our mares. Some of
these embryos will be offered for sale but, most will be put on "ice" for the
future. We feel it's very important to save as much of the original Morgan
genetics as possible. Freezing for the future far out weighs producing a bunch
of foals every year. We will continue to produce a few foals but, not as many
have we have in the past. We need time to ride and enjoy what has been produced!
So, if you see something you like and it's not marked for sale, check with us,
you might be pleasantly surprised!
Along with our horses, we raise a few
wonderful English-Bred, AKC Labrador Retrievers. They help out on the farm,
compete in Agility trials, ride around the farm on the farm equipment and will
fight for the front seat on the Prowler! We try to have at least one or
two, quality litters per year. These pups are sold with an AKC "Limited
Registration," 1 Year Health warranty, 1st vaccinations, Health records &
current on worming.
Our 2011 litters have arrived! The lovely,
Island Harley had a date with the very handsome
Smokey (Designer's Smokey Quartz). She whelped on Jan.
2nd and brought forth 7 very healthy puppies. There were 4 yellows (3 girls
& 1 boy) and 3 blacks (all boys). All, have found their forever homes! We
wish them and their new families the
best."
Island Breeze had a date with
Designer's Smokey Quartz. Yes, that's two girls, bred
to the same stud dog but, we like Smokey so much, that
both our girls made the trip to New York State. Brie whelped her first litter on
Jan. 28th! She produced 7 healthy puppies. There were: 6 Blacks (4 boys & 2
girls) 1 Yellow male. All her pups have found wonderful new homes!
Island
Breeze had another date in late Spring with the very fancy AKC
Champion, CH Lobuff Hollyridge Osprey. "Ozzy" is well
known in the show ring and for producing solid puppies with excellent minds. Due
to unforeseeable circumstances, Brie only had a few puppies. Boy, what puppies
they are! They are exceptional little carbon copies of their parents and we are
having a hard time deciding who stays. Inquires are being taken but, if one
leaves, it will be a 'special' home.
Thank-you to everyone who purchased one of our 2011
Island Labrador puppies!
Plans are in the
works for an early, Yellow & Black, 2012 litter. Call or email
NOW, to get onto the list. Normally, all our pups are spoken
for before they are born.
Our Fainting does kidded in mid-April. We are very
excited about these new kids! They are the first kids sired here by our new
buck, Woody Creek Farm Hotwire - (who's sire has just become a World
Champion!) We were hoping for some real cuties and we weren't disappointed! We
have kept all the 2011doelings and one very handsome polled buckling. We added 6
new goats to our herd. From the Goat Flower Farm, of
PA. came 4 very nice 2011 doelings and once again, from
Woody Creek Farm located in TN. came a mature doe, a
yearling buck and 3 very tiny black & white kittens! We will have a few 2012
kids available in April 2012.
We
offer horses for sale, Morgan horses, Tennessee Fainting Goats, AKC Labrador
Retrievers (Yellow & Black) stallions at stud, full equine AI services, and
an equine/canine mobile semen
freezing service with both storage and shipping available. This freezing service

This site is dedicated to the Fond
memory of my friend and Mentor, Dr. Lowell Hughes. (April
4, 1928- Nov. 5, 2001)
Dr. Hughes with his wonderful stallion, Patchett
Hill (Easter Vermont x Starlette B) Dr.
Hughes was the founder of Caduceus Morgans in North
Liberty, Iowa. He was known for producing large Black
Morgan Sporthorses of Mid-western and Brunk breeding.
He had a knack for finding well bred horses that were
tucked away on lost roads and in forgotten barns.
His
favorite stallion being the late, Wyoming Flyhawk (Domino
Joe x Lily Black), actually stood at Reed Allen's Ranch
in Lander Wy. along with my deceased foundation stallion,
H-Ken (Kenfield x Muchacha). I guess it was written,
even back then, that I would eventually meet Dr. Hughes.
Our taste in horseflesh were quite similar.
Dr.
Hughes was a very kind and generous man who was always
willing to take a new comer under his wing. This is what
he did for me. I miss my friend and mentor. Words can
never describe how I feel or tell the depth of my loss.
I will take both the knowledge he gave, and the
horses he produced and carry on into an uncertain future
marked by his footsteps. God Bless until we meet again...............
