Primavera Brio (Primavera Valdez x Rose Hill LaPapillon) was foaled May 1994, and stands 15.1+H and 1100 lbs. Like Valdez, Brio is a beautiful golden buckskin with the personality, presence, and type of his sire. Athletic, conformationally correct, kind, honest, big strided, and a smooth mover, Brio lets you "ride him every stride." Brio was a solid third in '97 World Jr Horse Reining at the Morgan Grand National as a 3 year old at 7 months under saddle.
Brio combines the best blood of U.S Government, J.C Brunk, Richard Sellman and A. Fullerton Phillips (VT) breeding. In addition to the Brunk blood, he has all those Sellman-Hill crosses to the wonderful old stallions whose bloodlines were brought from Vermont thru northern Illinois to Texas: Major Antoine, The Admiral, and Headlight Morgan.
Brio's dam,"Pappy," has foundation blood with many lines common to Valdez: Artemisia, Bennington, Mansfield, Gay Mac, Red Oak, Allen King, Denning Allen, Knox Morgan, Senator Graham and more. Through "Pappy" Brio also has foundation lines to Jubilee King, Jubilee De Jarnette, Knox Morgan, Flyhawk, Linsley, Troubadour of Willowmoor and Townshend Gaymeade.
This uniquely balanced pedigree represents a carefully woven tapestryof the most ancient and powerful blood. It unites the only three surviving Black hawk lines in blood of the Ethan Allen sons Daniel Lambert and Honest Allen with lines to Sherman Black Hawk through Winterset and Pathfinder Jr. through Flyhawk as well as the only other remaning Sherman families of Vermont Morgan Champion through Knox Morgan and Billy Root through Billy Roberts. The Woodbury family comes through four potent sons of Peter's Ethan Allen II: Headlight Morgan, Bob Morgan, Borden's and Ethan Allen III and Croydon Prince as well as other lines to Gifford through White River Morgan and the rare Golddust family through Winterset. FInally, the legendary iron endurance of Bulrush blood is brought in through Midnight Sun tracing to Raven Chief as well as lines through Flyhawk and Ashbrook. Moreover, the thread of buckskin color may be traced all the way to Buckskin Wheeler Horse by Revenge by Justin Morgan. The breeder desiring a masterful blend of the oldest and purest Morgan blood without modern outcrosses and fully manifested in the disposition, performance ability, and correct conformation of the original Morgan horse need look no further.
