(Forevermore x CT Ginger Lee, by Fleetwing's Major)
2001 Bay Gelding, 15.1h

SHANGHAI
is one of six full siblings by Forevermore and out of my foundation
mare, CT Ginger Lee, that include World Champion Another
World, World Champion Noteworthy and the good producing mare Only Forever, dam of one regional champion stallion
as well as the Reserve World Champion Miramax.
When he was born, I considered him a gift from my good friend, Forevermore, who had given me so many wonderful foals. There was no question he would be special. Some of the attributes of this horse that especially appeal to me are his good disposition, nice flat bone, extraordinarily straight legs and good feet, short cannons, wonderful proportions and genuine Morgan type. He has excellent withers and a nice shoulder, and an exceptionally good hip. Long through the hip and croup, level on the topline - like his incredible sire. His head is beautiful and expressive and we were excited to see many of these nice qualities passed to his foals, but especially is the tremendous Forevermore shoulder, resulting in a wonderful neckset and great athletic ability.
We closed this chapter of his life by moving to the wonderful world of geldings in the spring of 2010, and I have been enjoying working and showing my horse here in Florida. Although I still maintain a supply of frozen semen that I can use whenever the mood strikes, we are both enjoying keeping our minds on our work and having fun doing it!

(Issues 'N Answers x Nemour's Sunny Beam, by Beamington)
1999 Dark Chestnut Mare, 15.1h

"Bea" is Sunny Beam's her last foal, and she is in an elite group of wonderful producing mares out of Sunny that include Nemours Sunkissed (dam of Hollybrook Wham Bam), Charlestown Moon Beam (dam of SBS Putting On The Ritz), and Charlestown Fairdawn (dam of Festival Jazzman and Intrepid My Fair Lady). A mare with lots of size, substance and athletic ability, she is also a family pet! Bea has a wonderful hindquarter and a big, four-cornered trot that we hope she will continue to produce in our breeding program.
Her first foal by Shanghai, a wonderful bay filly named WINDEN MAI TAI, arrived in March and made her winning debut at the 2006 Jubilee Regional in September. She was the winner of the Open Weanling Filly class early in the week, and capped off her first horse show with a Reserve Champion Jubilee Futurity Weanling Filly title. She was purchased shortly before the show by our good friends Jay Kleiber and Julie Ouska of Ridgewood Farm in Elizabeth, Colorado. Now owned by Brian Berry and Victoria Markley of Santa Cruz, NM, we hope to see her performance debut in the future.
Of course, one of my breeding mantras is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", and so Beadazzling was bred back to Shanghai and produced a talented bay colt in 2008, Winden Saigon. Now owned by Abby Jones in New York, we are anxiously awaiting his performance debut.
In 2010, Beadazzling produced a big, handsome chestnut colt by Shanghai. WINDEN TAIPAN is now owned by Meagan Ferance of Shelbyville, KY and ended his first season as the 2011 USEF Region 3 In Hand Morgan Reserve Champion, and was Grand Champion Gelding at the 2011 Morab Nationals in Lexington.

(Fleetwing's Major x Flintalee, by B-L Flintson)
1986 Mare, 15.1h
Purchased as a coming yearling because I desperately wanted a daughter of Fleetwing's Major (Black River Major x Java's Pam's Pride) for a show horse, Ginger won the Yearling Filly class at the Jubilee Regional and some other good in hand ribbons before I decided the show ring would not be her forte. Her first foals by World Champion sire Forevermore (Beamington x Merwin Madonna, by Fairfield Fortune) were quite outstanding and so it was decided her place in life was to produce wonderful foals for Windenhill.
Ginger is the dam of six full siblings by Forevermore that include Surrender, World Champion Another World, World Champion Noteworthy, Only Forever (now owned by Peeper Ranch) and Tell Me More. Then Up-Hyre Te-N-Te (Dee Cee Mr. Trophy x Saddleback Swingtime) arrived in the neighborhood and the two of them produced a really nifty colt, Another Story, and then a beautiful filly, The Gift. Ginger was left open in 1998, but produced a stunning filly in 2000 named Luminaria, now owned by Hidden Dragon Morgans in Oklahoma. Bred back to Forevermore, she once again outdid herself by producing a very special bay colt in 2001, our stallion Shanghai.
Ginger experienced a rectal tear in 2003 during a routine ultrasound exam. After an extended stay at the University of Missouri, she was able to be bred live cover in 2004 and produced another outstanding filly by Up-Hyre Te-N-Te. Named FINERY, whowas sold to Mr. Keith Middleton of Oak Ridge, Missouri. Keith is a long time Morgan owner and Finery is the first Morgan he's purchased in over 20 years, so we feel very privileged that he chose this outstanding daughter of our foundation mare.

Her last foal is the outstanding young prospect, DON'T BLINK (by WC Cartier), owned by Martha Merrill, whos daughter is the talented young trainer Sarah Gove at Taylor River Farm. We expect he will provide another jewel in her crown when he wears his World Champion roses in the future. Ginger is now retired and living the high life, well cared for by my friend Joyce Metters at Hollybrook Farm in Lexington, NC.
