Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Cans't thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted, neither turneth he back from the sword.
JOB 39: 19-22

     
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he
that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war...Revelation 19:11-21

To concentrate genetics generation after generation is to compromise traits. Yes, we strengthen the good traits but we also intensify the potential for bad traits. At Times Past our goal is to utilize AI and outcross to lines that have the early basis of our lines. We will bring in a few lines somewhat related but a bit different. We are seeking hybrid vigor in a new mix that could possibly someday be a noted cross. Bulrush was the third and often least honored son of Justin Morgan. He was not promoted by great victories on the race course and often remained concealed by the shadows of time. Bulrush was a working man's horse and his progeny pulled together and made possible the very foundation of a nation on the move. He never did found a family of his own but his endurance and stamina bolstered the other lines and welded the Morgan as we know him today. There is an old quote that goes something like this: "A boy can sooner wear out an iron hobby horse, than a man can wear out a Bulrush".  We lost the tailmale line of Bulrush in the last 15 years. So with an iron constitution, let us now collect and cherish the remaining slender threads of his remnant.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6
