​Aliyah Farms....  Lippitt Morgans & one Appaloosa

     A group of Morgan enthusiast, fearing the loss of the original Morgan type, sought to preserve the “Old Vermont Morgan”. Twenty-five Morgans were selected based on their percentage of true Morgan blood. The descendants of these twenty-five Morgans are referred to as Lippitts, in recognition of Robert Lippitt Knight who was a stronghold for the old style Morgan at that time. To be considered a Lippitt a Morgan must trace back on every line of their pedigree to one of the twenty-five Lippitt foundation Morgans. As a cornerstone to the Lippitt family each Lippitt is closely related to Peters Ethan Allen 2nd and traces directly to Justin Morgan through their male sire line. Today’s Lippitts have the highest concentration of Justin Morgan or “old blood” of any Morgan, often tracing back to Figure within twelve or thirteen generations.

     Full Lippitts are considered rare and an endangered equine with approximately 2000 horses worldwide. Of these 2000 there are an estimated 300 to 700 breeding mares carrying on the Old Vermont Blood. Groups such as the Lippitt Club encourage owners to breed their mares for full Lippitt foals and to further promote the remarkable capabilities of the Lippitt Morgan. An excellent sport horse Lippitt’s adhere to their “primordial type” recognized for their hardness, stamina, and disposition, as well as their beauty and versatility which replicates Justin Morgan the perfect Morgan true to the American Heritage.
