Heritage Relic ( Heritage Grand March x Tri Acre Ruvinsdream)

Relic has always be an in your pocket horse. She calls to us when she sees us even if its not feeding time. You can tell she truly enjoys simply spending time around people. She passes this friendly and willing disposition on to her offspring. She really stands out in the field to people because she is an odd sort of color. When she shed out her baby coat she appeared to be black with a very blonde mane and tail. As she matured her coat color became less black and more the color of cocoa. Her mane darkened and when looked at closely it appears to be strands of every horse color imaginable from black to white and grey and blonde and brown, etc... Genetically she is really a dark liver chestnut with a mixed flaxen mane and tail. We think she may carry the sabino gene as both her fillies have roaning, detached spots, and blazes that wrap around to their chins. We know she carries the flaxen gene because her first filly has a vivid blonde mane and tail. *Photo by K. Rother*

This is our go to lesson horse. She has given countless lessons over the years from terrified beginners who swore they would never ride a horse to experienced riders who want a responsive mount. They all dismount smiling. She is a pleasure to ride and to watch. She has wonderful suspension and fantastic hocks. Her favorite gait is the trot where she can slow down to a walking pace or speed up to a road trot that has won many a hack class. We really can't imagine life without Relic. Every day we are grateful for her. She's our best girl. Plus she has a wealth of wonderful old Morgan bloodlines from Funquest, Skyloft, Mildann, Lippitt and UVM. She can boast of Vigilmarch and Serenity Marchtime as well as Ruthven's Nancy Ann. *Photo by K. Rother taken 7/2010*
