Blackthorne was a featured Morgan Farm in the Massachusetts Horse Magazine. To see our supporting ad for this wonderful and flattering coverage click here.
Blackthorne was blessed with a stunning bay colt, foaled in May of 2007. Sired by our stallion Frederique and out of our new mare Cachet, he is born to be beautiful and athletic. Regally named:
Blackthorne Charlemagne. Watch him develop in pictures on "Our Horses" page.
Inquiries invited.
Summer 2007
The Blackthorne Farm has undergone some signifcant barn renovations this summer to expand our
capacity. Barn expansion included modular stall systems from Ramm
Fence and a unique "Stable Comfort" flooring system.
All the improvements have been fully christened and tested by our Morgan inhabitants and the responses have been very positive.
September 2007
Once completed, the barn improvements above facilitated the move and home coming of our foundation stallion, Frederique. Here at Blackthorne, Frederique will stand at stud and show under our own banner.
Many thanks to Ann Anderson and the Hobby Knoll staff for all the care they have given Frederique.
September 2007
Daughter,Amelia, and I joined about twenty other Morgan riders for a three-day ride at Ft Robinson, Nebraska. Ft Robinson was a U.S. Cavalry Ft. and the site of both the death of Crazy Horse and the Cheyenne Uprising. It became the largest cavalry fort and remount station in the world, at one time home to 11,000 horses and 8,000 mules.
Today Ft. Robinson is a 22,000 acre state park. As part of this "Celebrate the Morgan" event, riders stabled their Morgans in restored brick and wood cavalry stables and stayed in rennovated officers quarters. Many more pictures can be viewed at my flickr site accessible on our "Contacts and Links" page. This event was coordinated by members of the Working Western Family Morgans Club (W2FM).
