A long time ago, I was told that a Morgan's head was not his best or most important
feature, the action was. "One does not ride the head" I was told. What the trainer forgot to remember is that it
is the head that greets you every day; it is the head that wears a western bridle so beautifully; it is the head that carriage
judges first notice when approaching; and it is the head that people most remember when looking to purchase a horse. The Arabians
have dedicated their entire breed to the head.
My search for a beautiful head
on my foals has been found in the signature of Ken-Mar Winston. Long known in Ohio as producing large foals with
beautiful heads, I have found it to be true when crossed with a variety of bloodlines. Yes, I DO RIDE THE HEAD. I see it when
I ride, flexed with ears forward; I see it when I drive, elegantly going forward in the bridle; and I see it when I go out
to the barn. I may not ride the head Mr. Trainer, but I sure do like a beautiful head to greet me each day.
On December 29, 2011 I went out to take pictures of Winston's children. I cropped the photos to show
that the children have the promised signature head. They also have Winston's signature hocks. "Motion"
pictures can be seen throughout the web-site. Oh, yes, before I forget, that beautiful head contains an intelligence far beyond
their years.
