| "In 1937, I went
to Vermont, in the company of a friend to look at Morgan
Horses. After visiting several Morgan Horse farms, we
arrived at the Green Mountain Stock farm in Randolph, VT.
Owned by Robert Knight. At that time, in late August,
there was a lot of horse population at the farm of thirty-one
horses. There was winter stabling for only twenty-nine
horses. We had arrived at an opportune time. My
choices of the entire heard were Lippitt Kate Moro and
Lippitt Trilby. These were not for sale.
Three two-year-old fillies were for
sale. These were Lippitt Miss Nekomia, Lippitt Rose Ash,
and Lippitt Polly Moro. Of these three my choice was
Lippitt Miss Nekomia. My friend selected Lippitt Rose
Ash. This was during the depression and demand for
horses was almost nil. The asking price was $200.00 for
each filly. We offered $200.00 for the pair and it was
accepted." |
