![]() Mountain Creek Moriesian and Morgan farm is in the highly productive Upper Kiewa Valley, alongside the Kiewa River, and under the shadow of Mt Bogong, Victoria's highest mountain. We have just under 200 acres, and raise quality horses and vealers.
Our first foal was born in 1988, Faithful Guardian, a Quarter Horse colt from a Nug Nug Ranch mare, he became a stunning gelding. Our first Part Bred Morgan, was a filly born in 1997, Mountain Creek Whisper, by Wawayanda Watch Out, out of a stock horse mare. She now lives in Queensland. Since then we have been hooked on the Morgan Horse and particularly the Moriesian, that is a cross of Morgan and Friesian, in our case Friesian Warmblood. Our first Moriesian hit the ground in 2002, MCM Master Perry. He is a fine example of this wonderful cross.
We use the prefix MCM with all of our Friesian Warmblood registrations, the prefix Mountain Crk with the Pure Morgan registrations, & Mountain Creek for the Part Bred Morgan progeny. Our Broodmare band consists of 4 Pure Bred Morgans, 3 Friesian Warmbloods, 1 Part Bred Morgan, & 1 Quarter Horse . We have a Pure Bred Morgan Stallion (Red Bluff Mesmeric), a Friesian Stallion (Eitsje), & a cremello Quarter Horse Stallion (Colonel Wicked). Also some frozen semen from 3 Pure Bred Morgan Stallions, PT Cruiser, Ragtime Oro Blanco, & Sumicaro Beau Geste. The most important horse on the farm is my Part Bred Morgan gelding, HP Dust Cloud, he is my riding horse. follow this link to his page.
We generally breed 3 - 5 mares per breeding season. These foals are available for purchase upon weaning, they have basic education, and are ready for their new homes usually at around 10 - 12 months old. I won't let them go until I feel that they are ready to face the outside world. Currently we don't stand our Stallions to the public, for a few reasons, firstly for the responsibility of outside mares, we don't want the worry of looking after other peoples pride and joys. Also we are rather busy during Spring and Early Summer, as we are hay and silage contractors, so you could say we are making hay whilst the sun shines. We do intend to have Red Bluff Mesmeric and Eitsje, collected at some stage, we are hoping that their semen quality will be sufficient to freeze well, we will also look at chilled semen too, but that will be in the future. We have lots of Farm Friends, or critters on our farm. follow this link to see them. |
