Woodrose Katrina - Morgan Mare

Woodrose Katrina
(WindSwept Imperial x Tacinca)
AMHA 088558
1982 Bay Mare

Woodrose Katrina has a pedigree that is a wealth of wonderful Western Working Family mostly old California lines. She is one of those grand old mares, tough but kind and generous with a sweet temper and pretty too. Her sire Windswept Imperial was by the well known Dapper Dan and out of the Sid Spencer bred Little Sweetheart. Sweetheart was by Sid’s good working sire Antman, he by Mountcrest Sellman and out of Pontez (Pongee Morgan, Brunk, x Arab mare). Mountcrest Sellman was bred by Richard Sellman and came to California in utero when his dam came west. He was a sire of note of early California ranch Morgans. The dam of Little Sweetheart was by Sun Down Morgan, found also behind Soleil’s sire, and she was out of Bubbles, double Jubilee King granddaughter.

Dapper Dan is well known to students of the WWF. He had 108 registered progeny. His sire line goes through Trilson to Katrilan Prince to the Government bred Uhlan by Bennington. Katrilan Prince was out of a Roland Hill bred daughter of Querido and out of a Sellman mare. Trilson was out of another Hill mare, Roseta May, by Sonfield, but out of Joaquin Morgan put to a daughter of Headlight Morgan. Joaquin Morgan was by the Sellman bred Romanesque by Red Oak. Joaquin Morgan was out of a Linsley daughter out of Donbelle (Old Vermont lines). Dapper Dan’s dam was Bess Gates, a daughter of Gay Mac and Bessie Ro, daughter of Querido and another Sellman mare.

Going to Tacinca, the dam of Katrina, we find three more crosses to Pongee Morgan (old Brunk) and more Sellman horses. Mountcrest Sellman’s great son Redman is the maternal grandsire of Tacinca. Redman’s dam goes to Pongee Morgan and further Sellman breeding. The Lippitt Morman (Mansfield x Lippitt Kate Moro) daughter, Morman’s Red Lady was bred to Redman to give Tacinca’s dam. Lippitt Morman was a result of Robert Lippitt Knight taking one of his very best mares to the Government farm to breed to Mansfield. Morman was the first stallion to complete the Vermont 100 Mile Competitive Trail Ride, carrying a full western saddle and his rider. He then came to California where he was a popular sire. Red Lady was by Antman and out of another Sellman mare.

Tacinca’s sire Rusty was out of Pongata, by Pongee Morgan and out of yet another Sellman mare. Rusty’s sire Eprus takes us to somewhat different lines as he was by Escort and out of Pomona, both Government bred. Escort was by a double General Gates grandson and out of a General Gates daughter who was out of Marguerite, dam of Red Oaks who is behind so many of the Sellman mares. Pomona was by Troubadour of Willowmoor who was by Troubadour by Jubilee de Jarnette. Jubilee de Jarnette is also found behind the Sellman mares coming thru his son The Admiral. Pomona’s dam is by General Gates and out of a Daniel Lambert mare. Daniel Lambert is behind Jubilee King multiple times and behind Jubilee de Jarnette.

Again, the lines in Katrina’s pedigree are very carefully bred and go to the same horses over and over again. Her pedigree, a history of superior preformance and working Morgans.
