THE SELLMAN MORGANS–part 4

THE HORSES OF F. A. FICKERT AND THEIR DESCENDANTS

   by Laura Stillwell Algranti

   In 1922, F. A. Fickert of Tehachapi, California purchased some Morgans from Richard Sellman.   They were Jael, Emma B., Ramona K., Dulcimer, Favonius, Consuela, Marta, Minna K., Conant K., Kita A., Mary K., Louisa, Texsky and Raven Chief.  All but two of these were transferred to Nellie Fickert in 1938.  Conant K. and Louisa were transferred to Berman Stock Farm in 1937.  These were not the first Morgans owned by Fickert.  Way back in 1912, he purchased from Sellman, the mare Headstar, who was transferred in 1928 to the Tehachapi Cattle Co., and then in 1930 to Roland Hill.   She had no foals for Fickert but did have three foals in California.

   In 1931, Jael produced Chestnut Chief (x Raven Chief).  He went on to have fourteen registered progeny, including Alida, Alzada, Dee, and Nona.

   Alida (Chestnut Chief x Marta) was foaled in 1941 and bred by Nellie Fickert.  She had eight foals most notable of whom were Martin Vermont (x Monty Vermont) a 1959 chestnut who went to Montana to sire Big Sky preface Morgans and others in that state, and Victoria Vermont (x Red Vermont) dam of Cherrie Bon Bon and others.

   Alzada (Chestnut Chief x Nona) was foaled in 1944, bred by Nellie Fickert.  By the well-known stallion, Red Vermont, she had Alcazar La Vermont and Polly Vermont, both of whom were broodmares in Northern California.  By Rimrock, she had Tapatia Rock, also a broodmare.

   Dee (Chestnut Chief x Nona) was foaled in 1944, bred by Nellie Fickert.  By the palomino stallion, Yellowstone, she had Golden Sands who was sire of Shasta Rose, and others.  Shasta Rose was dam of Rockland Ventura and Triton prefix Morgans.  Dee was also dam of Penny Vermont, a broodmare in Oregon.

   Nona (Chestnut Chief x Mixer), bred by Nellie Fickert, was foaled in 1939.  She was dam of Dee (listed above), Domino Vermont, Easter Vermont, Diana Vermont, Rosy Vermont, Annabelle Vermont and others.  Domino Vermont sired many progeny including Little Varagraph, Princess Mac, Vanity Vermont.  Easter Vermont was a noted sire in Northern California with many descendants throughout the United States and Canada today.  Diana Vermont and Rosy Vermont were both good broodmares, as was Annabelle Vermont.  The descendants of Nona are the most numerous and important of those Morgans coming from Jael and may be the most numerous of any of the Fickert descent Morgans.

   Favonius was the dam of Eagle (x Raven Chief), foaled in 1935, bred by Nellie Fickert.  He sired Ranchita Chief, bred by Frank Silva, and foaled in 1950.  Located in central coastal California, an area with few Morgans in those years, he did sire Cholame Stepper, Ranchita Queen, and Ranchita Prince, all of whom bred on.

   Kita K. was the dam of Colorado (x Raven Chief), foaled in 1930, bred by F. A. Fickert.   He was the sire of Red Flash (x Louisa).   Today Red Flash can be found on the sire line of only one stallion and his son. (note 2005—this line is gone.)  This is the only surviving sire-line descent from the Justin Morgan son, Bulrush.  The stallion is Discreet Lee, and when last known, was in a very isolated area of north east Washington.   In all likelihood, this line will die out.   However, Red Flash did have many daughters which bred on and have descendants today.  These include Prima Donna, Rhed’s Fable, other Rhed’s prefix Morgans, Dapper and Kelly’s prefix Morgans, Viking prefix Morgans, and some bred by Jackson Ranch of Montana.

   Mary K. was dam of Glenna (x Raven Chief), foaled in 1933, bred by F. A. Fickert.  Glenna was dam of Monty Vermont (x Red Vermont).  Monty Vermont sired Martin Vermont, Sol De Vermont, Annabelle Vermont, Viola Vermont, and others.

   Louisa was the dam of Red Flash, discussed above.

   Texsky Was the dam of Mixer (x Raven Chief) who was the dam of Nona, discussed above.  Texsky was also dam of Sun Down Morgan (x Raven Chief), a dark brown foaled in 1933, bred by F. A. Fickert.  Sun Down Morgan sired many Morgans with lines of descent to today.  By the palomino mare, Dawnglo, he had the palomino Midnite Sun, who sired Nilwon, Pamesa, El Tesoro, Leigh Mesa, Midnite’s Squaw, and Palomesa who is best known as dam of Tio Lalo (sire of Californio and many others).

   Sun Down Morgan also sired Sun Rex Morgan (x Carmel Snow) who went on to sire many Pineland prefix Morgans.  Joe Young’s Pineland Morgans were based in Georgia but their descendants can be found just about everywhere now.

   Sun Down Morgan also sired Hel’s Chinquapina, sire of Little Sweetheart (dam of Windswept prefix Morgans) and others.  Also by Sun Down Morgan were Marlene’s Morgan, Senorita Morgan, Sunbonnette, Almond Joy (dam of the good stallions Orron and Poco Aljoy, as well as Orlaine’s prefix Morgans), and others.

   Raven Chief had three foals in Texas for Sellman before coming to California.  All his progeny in California were out of the mares that went to Fickert, so all his descendants have been discussed.

THE SELLMAN MORGANS  PART 5

ROLAND HILL  PART A

BY Laura S Algranti

REDWOOD MORGAN 7217
(Headlight Morgan x Bonnie A.)
Brown, foaled 1918, bred by Richard Sellman

   Roland Hill purchased Redwood Morgan from Sellman in 1922 and sold him to Cebrian Bros. of Maricopa, Ca. in 1923.  Redwood Morgan had only eleven registered foals of which six had progeny, of which only five have descendants today.  The five that bred on are:  Blackhaux 7973; Cuyamo 7974; Redstar 06031; Rouge Rubee 05661; and Hacienda Chief 8273.  None of these were bred by Hill; Hill was responsible for bringing the horse to California but it was others who took advantage of the stallion and preserved his line.

   BLACKHAUX (x Joeb) was a black foaled in 1931, bred by Duval Williams of Madera, Ca.  In the late 1930’s, Western Horseman had several articles about Morgans that were written either by Williams or by Williams and Roland Hill. Blackhaux had seven registered progeny of which three bred on; these were Gold Dollar 8006, Hedlite 7977, and Joebie 05008.

   Gold Dollar (x Leora) was a chestnut foaled in 1936, bred by L. W. Rutledge of Parlier, Ca.   Owned by W. T. Carter of Fresno, Ca. He was a prolific sire with sixty five get to his credit of whom thirty three had progeny, many of which have descendants today.  So prolific was this family that only an overview can be given here:
   –Falconhaux 10534 (x Royce’s Falcon) black, 1950, bred by Carter.  sire of:  Playback of Sundown 11991, 1957, sire of: Sundowner, Karma of Sundown, Sunny Sue, and many others in the Central Coastal California region;  Chaux 09377, 1955, dam;  Classix 09738, 1956, dam;  Ima-Fair-Lady 09111, 1954, dam of Eco Cinder Ella;  Plumas 010585, 1955, dam of Impala Plumas, Sanna Racine, Miss Morning Star, Windy’s Pride, & others;   others.

   Hedlite 7977 (Blackhaux x Jocbo Brownie) black, 1932 was bred by Duval Williams and was foundation sire for Mary Smith’s program at Camarillo, Ca.  He was sire of:

   –others.

   CUYAMO 7974 (x Jocbo Brownie) brown, 1931, bred by Duval Williams.  This stallion was promoted in Western Livewstock Journal and Western Horseman in the 1930’s.  One ad stated that he could be trucked to the mare owner’s home to cover the mare on her home territory.   It is unknown how many part Morgans he sired, but he had only eleven registered progeny of which five had progeny of their own.   These five were:  Betty C., dam of five produce and none with progeny; Bugle Anne, dam;   Dulcet, dam; Headlight Lady, dam; Laydee, dam.

   Bugle Anne 05503 (x Joebie) ch., 1940, bred by Duval Williams.  dam of:

   –other Shawalla prefix Morgans.

   Dulcet x-05342 (x Lady, unreg., by Bender 7489) ch. 1939, bred by Duval Williams.  The second dam of Dulcet was a chestnut mare bred by J. B. Haggins of Kern County, Ca., and said to be part Morgan.  Haggins brought Morgans to Calfiornia at the turn of the century and it is very likely that Lady carries the blood of those early Morgans and is, therefore, an interesting piece of history.  Dulcet was dam of:

   others.

   Although Redwood Morgan had only a few registered progeny, his descendants today are many.  The most prolific line is that of Gold Dollar, especially through his son Kings River Morgan.  Carter’s breeding program included some inbreeding and linebreeding, thus doubling up on the blood of Redwood Morgan.  Gold Dollar’s half-brother, Hedlite, also has many descendants today, particularly through his great grandson, Hedlite’s Micky Waer.  From Hedlite’s daughter, Dolly S., come the influential Ramona prefix Morgans.

   Redwood Morgan and his progeny and their progeny were primarily bred to other horses of Sellman descent, thus continuing the heritage started by Richard Sellman.

(2005 note—since this was written, the lines of the above horses have lessened in numbers and too many have been diluted to less desirable families. Despite the high numbers of Morgans from Redwood Morgan, this line in pure form can yet be lost.)

(Since writing this in the early 90’s, I have collected back issues of Arizona Highways magazines, many from the 1940’s & 1950’s. It is fascinating to see the photos of horses in these old issues. And how many show strong Morgan traits. One has to wonder about those Morgans that went to Arizona & left no registered progeny.)
