Two C Sissy Herod
(Mac's LittleBritches x T Tyme Sundays Delight)
Palomino Mare
The dam of this mare is T Tyme Sunday’s Delight
(see Sunday's Pedigree) who
brings intense old Brunk breeding and Western Working Family primarily based on Elmer
Brown and Richard Sellman. Much of this good breeding is also found in the sire of Two-C
Sissy Herod, Mac’s Littlebritches (Mac’s Baby x Golden Judy). Below is a
discussion of Mac’s Littlebritches’ pedigree.
Sire—Mac’s Baby
This stallion’s pedigree has Sellman, Elmer Brown, Brunk, and
Old Midwest as the predominant elements, closely followed with a strong dose of Old
Vermont and Government. His sire, Rich Gold, was by Gold King by Yellow Cat, by Morgan
Gold by Red Correll, the well known sire whose sire was Old Midwest. Red Correll’s
dam was Elmer Brown bred, being by Romanesque and out of a Linsley daughter. This cross of
Romanesque to a Linsley daughter was a tried and true way to produce good working Morgans.
Breeding Kate Smith to the old Midwest Will Rogers was going back to the Old Midwest
behind Kate Smith’s bottom dam line.
The dam of Morgan Gold
was Luellen a smoky black from the L U Sheep Co. of Wyoming. She was by Night Tide, Brunk
bred, and out of a Flyhawk daughter whose dam line went to Linspar by Linsley.
Linspar’s dam, Sparbelle, was by the Old Midwest Sparhawk and out of the Old Vermont
mare Donbelle who did so very much for Elmer Brown.
Yellow Cat’s dam was Shenandoah Queen by King Shenandoah by
Shenandoah, a Government Farm horse. King Shenandoah’s dam was the Old Midwest mare
Violet King. Shenandoah Queen’s dam was Rarette, one of the golden cross of Jubilee
King and Nella. Nella’s dam was Liza Jane, an important broodmare also.
The dam of Gold King, Penny Lucette Dancer, was by White Cap Allen,
by Agazizz by Juzan (Jubilee King x Liza Jane). Agazizz was out of Gizea by Go Hawk and
out of Liza Jane. White Cap Allen’s dam was Donbelle Allan by Tehachapi Allan and out
of Donbelle. The dam of Penny Lucette Dance, Roxie Robin, has an interesting pedigree. Her
dam, Roxie Kellogg C K, is the result of breeding Captain Kellogg to his daughter
Gwenalan. Then, Gwenalan is also the dam of Roxie Robin’s sire, who is by Harris
Linsley (Linsley x Sparbelle—Sparhawk x Donbelle). Headlight Morgan appears seven
times in Roxie Robin’s pedigree. Captain Kellogg was a rich flaxen chestnut with
Baroque profile and good depth and substance.
The dam of Rich Gold was Query’s Estrabel, a daughter of the
Government bred Milaca Query, and out of Rookie’s Estrabel. She was by Lippitt
Rookie, a Lippitt stallion who went west to leave a few good registered descendents.
Estrabel, dam of Rookie’s Estrabel, was all Brunk, by Jubel (Jubilee King x Bess
Knox) and out of Allestra (Go Hawk x Mrs. Lewis—Charles Reade).
The dam of Mac’s Baby was Eager’s Spring Fling (Two Star
Eager x Pixie Eager), a double granddaughter of Topside Eager Beaver. There is more close
breeding since the dam of Spring Fling’s sire is Miss Rockwood and the dam of Spring
Fling’s dam is a Miss Rockwood daughter (who was by Red Correll). Miss Rockwood is
out of Lady Rockwood who is a Red Correll granddaughter. Miss Rockwood is by Swanne, son
of Swanton (x Bennington), and out of Little Lulu by Morgan Gold (found behind Mac’s
Littlebritches’ sire side). Topside Eager Beaver is by Broadwall Brigadier, by that
grand stallion Parade who was by Cornwallis of Old Vermont lines and out of Mansphyllis
who was out of Paragraph, that outstanding broodmare by Jubilee King and out of Nella.
The dam of Broadwall Brigadier was Bonanya, one of the Theis Bros.
mares from Kansas who made the train trip back to Rhode Island and Broadwall Farm. She was
based on the proven breeding of Elmer Brown and Sellman. Her sire was Raymond S Sentney,
by Chocolate (Linsley x Lady Spar) and the dam of Raymond S Sentney was Skiner, mostly
Sellman breeding. The dam of Bonanya was Silver Mae by Roscoe Sentney, by John Allen by
Tehachapi Allan. John Allen’s dam was by Linsley
and out of Jannace (Sparhawk), as was the dam of Roscoe Sentney. The dam of
Silver Mae was by Silver Ranger (Querido x Angelina—Sellman) and out of Betty Dean
who was Dixie x Dan’s Bess, the same cross as the dam of Raymond S Sentney. There is
enough inbreeding in this pedigree to make one’s eyes cross! The Sentney program
produced some very good using Morgans, raised on the Kansas range. Chocolate was a
balanced, deep and stout Morgan who did ranch work and cutting.
The dam of Eager Beaver
was an L U Sheep Co. mare with Government and Brunk behind her.
While Mac’s Baby does not have well known horses close up in his
pedigree, his pedigree is one of much close breeding, consistently through each
generation, and done by those looking for good using horses. Many of the horses behind him
were the unsung working ranch horses and the broodmares who were range mares, living on
their own and enduring sometimes tough conditions. These horses never gained show ring
fame nor did their owners care for show ring fame. Their worth was measured in a
day’s work, and for the mares, in the quality of foals they produced.
Dam—Golden Judy
The dam of Mac’s Littlebritches brings in more of the WWF along
with another large does of Brunk. Her sire was by Gold King, found also behind Mac’s
Baby’s sire. The paternal granddam of Golden Judy was Becky Flash, whose dam has the
same blood found behind Mac’s Baby and whose sire is Brunk & WWF. The dam of
Becky Flash was Queen Maid by Sorrley by Shenandoah (x Bennington) and out of a Brunk
mare. Queen Maid was out of Maid Violet, also by Shenandoah, and out of Babe King who has
the same breeding behind her as that of Bonanya, being by a Romanesque son whose dam was a
Linsley daughter and whose second dam was by Dude Hudson and out of Hazel S. Babe King was
out of a mare by Silver Ranger (Querido x Selman mare) and the second dam was the Dixie
Dan and Dan breeding of Texas, seen elsewhere in the pedigree.
The sire of Becky Flash was Jubilee’s Flash. He was by Gen.
Cotton, a double grandson of Ethan’s Jubilee by Cotton Hill’s Choice (discussed
in the mare T Tyme Sunday’s Delight). Ethan’s Jubilee was out of Rugee by Go
Hawk and out of Red Ruby. This is rich old Brunk breeding. The paternal granddam of Gen.
Cotton was Irma Bird by Monte Leon by Silver Ranger and out of a Dan daughter. Irma
Bird’s dam was Bar S Mary by Tehachapi Allan and out of Mary R M (Romanesque x Dude
Hudson x Donbelle daughter). The maternal granddam of Gen. Cotton was Missouri Honey by
Morgan Gold (appearing again) and out of Pine Ridge Edna by Azazizz (Juzan x Gizea) and
out of Kitty Edna, a Winterset ( more of the Old Midwest) daughter.
The dam of Jubilee’s Flash was Jubilee’s Pastime, whose
sire was Independence Jubilee, who also was the sire of General Cotton. The dam of Pastime
was Missouri Lady by Brownie A by Tehachapi Allan and out of Molly R M by Romanesque.
Missouri Lady’s dam was Bar S Spar, also seen elsewhere in the pedigree, she by Roman
Light and out of Bar S Lady. So here yet again, is a pedigree with a high degree of close
breeding to several ancestors.
Wanona Princess was the dam of Golden Judy and her pedigree was
nearly all Brunk. Her sire was Prince de Jarnette by Larruby King Royale by Fudge Royale.
Fudge Royale was by the Tarron son Tarman. Tarman was out of De Ann by Juzan (Jubilee King
x Liza Jane). De Ann’s maternal granddam was Jubilee King’s sister Sentola.
Fudge Royale was out of Illawana Patsy Red by Captain Red by Juban (Jubilee King x Jeanne)
and out of Gizea (Go Hawk x Liza Jane). Patsy Red was out of Gildia by Go Hawk and out of
Benita, by Knox Morgan. The dam of Larruby King Royale was Illawana Peggy, also by Captain
Red. Peggy was out of Illawana Ruby, who was all Old Brunk. The Illawana horses had a
reputation of having excellent temperaments and sense and good using conformation. The dam
of Prince de Jarnette was June De Jarnette by Glendale by Pongee Morgan (who later went
west to Roland Hill to sire some good stock there). Glendale was a double grandson of the
mare Galva and his grandsires were the full brothers Allen King and Penrod (the sire of
Jubilee King). June de Jarnette’s dam Susette was by Raragraph (Jubilee King x
Nella—Liza Jane) and out of Daisy Knox. Prince de Jarnette was solid old Brunk, with
the same horses repeating over and over.
The dam of Wanona Princess was Frosty Princess, a gray mare whose
color sadly did not pass on here. Her sire was the gray Mountain Silver Sheik whose sire,
Mountain Sheik, brings in some unusual old New England blood. Mountain Sheik was by Mendon
Boy, foaled 1917 and by Rochester Boy by Pete Morgan. Mendon Boy’s dam goes to
Aristos, son of Daniel Lambert. Mountain Sheik’s dam Rachel was by Hinds Ethan Allen
and out of Nelly by Aristos.
The dam of Mountain Silver Sheik was the gray mare Toy by Troubadour
of Willowmoor. Troubadour of Willowmoor was a grandson of Jubilee de Jarnette, who is the
top male line of most of the Brunk pedigrees. Her dam was the same mare Rachel who was dam
of Mountain Sheik. Rachel was gray and passed the color to Toy. Mountain Silver Sheik was
a rich source of Ethan Allen 50, coming through some different lines.
Mountain Silver Sheik was bred to the Brunk Daisette to get Silver
Princess dam of Frosty Princess. The sire of Frosty Princess was King Mick, son of the
handsome and correct McAllister by Jubilee King and out of the Charles Reade daughter Mrs.
Lewis. King Mick was out of Jeanne by Knox Reade out of Mrs. Lewis. Jeanne was out of Jean
Ann by Sentiment, grandson of Charles Reade. King Mick had a concentrated dose of the
blood of Charles Reade, source of trotting speed and also rugged good looks and using
ability.
So, Mac’s Littlebritches has a rich pedigree of Brunk and WWF
with some Old Midwest and a touch of Government and Old Vermont. The same horses appear
again and again in his pedigree. This is a pedigree to look at time and again to be able
to fully appreciate the richness and complexity. Then, breed this pedigree to that of T Tyme Sunday’s Delight,
who also has many of the very same elements, and one has an even more complex pedigree
that is so rich in Morgan history. The breed’s two Master breeders—J C Brunk and
Elmer Brown form much of the foundation of Sissy’s pedigree. This is a pedigree to
build future generations of Morgans upon.
