A Working Horse Ethic with a Regal Presence

The Broodmares of Endeavor All of our horses are exceptionally well behaved and easy to work with, yet they have great spirit and presence. Our broodmares have done an outstanding job of producing the traits we desire most: temperament, beauty and athletic ability with a sound mind and body.

She stops traffic when she in the pasture. As a mother, she passes intelligence and a good, sound mind to all of her foals, as well as pretty heads and strong athletic bodies.

When she discovered a break in the fence, she blocked it to keep the herd away from the road and the dangers to be found there. She is patient, loving and shares a special bond with her owner. UVM Larissa earned a well deserved retirement at the age of 24. In total, she had 13 foals, four of them carry the Endeavor prefix.

UVM Adrienne has the trot of her sire, UVM Promise--it will take your breath away. She is a devoted mother and passes on her sweet personality and loving nature. Yet, put her in the arena and she still loves to show off. Early in 2006, UVM Adrienne suffered a fractured skull, embedding a piece of bone in her brain, in a trailer accident. Showing tremendous courage and heart, she has recovered beautifully and is ready for breeding. Her outstanding recovery has made her famous in the veterinary community as the subject of an important scientific paper.

She is full of curiosity and has a great deal of spirit. She has that beautiful UVM Promise trot with her dam's good common sense. With a good, sound body, she is inquisitive and has the look and conformation of the breed standard. Photo by Tami Johnson The youngest and smallest horse in Roger Kyle's Fear Management Clinic (former trainer for the Denver Police Mounted Patrol), Endeavor's First Addition was the most fearless and the unanimous star of that clinic. She accomplished feats that other horses dared not try (which included sticking her nose in the bubble machine, trying to catch a bubble).  Well rounded with the famous trot of her grandsire, UVM Promise, she is showing cowy abilities--a perfect tribute to the versatility of the Morgan breed.
