This scrapbook was assembled by  Joan Sackett around 1995.  In an effort to make the NYSMHS History Archives available to all interested parties, we're pleased to present this information on-line.

The credit for collecting the data and photos for this album goes to the NYSMHS Historian at the time, Mary Arnold.  Mary was a wonderful source of data and history about the Morgans and owners from our NYSMHS family.

The materials as gathered by Joan and Mary  follow.


The NYSMHS thanks all the owners of Lippitt Field Marshal progeny that sent us information for our scrapbook.  We appreciate your support of this project.

Lippitt Field Marshal was bred by Robert L. Knight.  In 1945 he was sold to Frank Curtis, then in 1956 sold to John Turner.  In 1958 he was purchased by Fritz Eisenhard of Warsaw, NY where he lived until 1975.  Around the age of 29 he went to Nancy Eisenhard Bankers Farm where he would live out his days.

"Marshal" spent most of his life in pasture with his mares.  He was broke to ride and was ridden a little.  He was a real gentleman and was trusted with children or any one, any where.  He was a family pet.  Read more about "Marshmellow" in Nancy Banker/Eisenhards letter to us about Marshal.  Also enjoy an news note published in the Morgan Horse Magazine, March 1966....

His get were good ones.  He passed his good dispostion, beautiful heads and Lippitt confirmation.  His sons were good breeding stallions and family geldings.  Most of his daughters were family horses and excellent broodmares.

His registered progeny profile is as follows:

1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964
5 4 10 6 2 4
1965 1966 1967 1969 1970 1972
3 2 3 1 1 1
This amounts to 42 registered progeny which were owned in 7 states and Canada.  There were 29 chestnuts, 13 bays and 9 stallions, 21 mares and 21 geldings as supplied by the progeny listing from the AMHA Registry.
