DANIEL LAMBERT FOUNDATION STALLION
FOR THE HISTORICAL LAMBERT MORGAN FAMILY
"When in his prime no horse could be found that equaled him in beauty of conformation, elegance of style, grace of carriage and poise, ease and elasticity of gait, excellence of quality and fineness of finish combined. He was of the Morgan pattern, stood strong fifteen hands in height, and was a horse of substance. The Morgans were the handsomest horses in the world, and Daniel Lambert in his prime was the handsomest of the Morgan tribe."
Excerps from The American Trotter S. W. Parlin 1905
CRITERION FOUNDATION STALLION
FOR THE MODERN LAMBERT MORGAN FAMILY "Criterion reminded one hauntingly of the ancient woodcuts of his famous ancestors, old Justin and Sherman in particular. His bearing was regal, confidant, commanding. His form was muscular, smoothly-rounded, each part in perfectly-balanced proportion. When in motion he was arresting, exhibiting spectacular extension at the trot, displaying daunting power as he drove forward off his hocks, mesmerizing onlookers as he floated over the ground."
During the 1800's the Lambert family was the most respected, well known and admired Morgan family in existence. During the 1900's it would have disappeared but for J.C. Brunk who rescued it from extinction. Then came Francis Bryant who continued Mr. Brunk's Lambert breeding program. Now, the Lambert family represents a history of some hundred years of diligent breeding by Brunk, Bryant and the Hanleys."

QUIETUDE ARIOSA (Courage of Quietude xCriteria of Quietude)
A nearby farmer runs between 500-600 cow/calf pairs. Whenever he gets a group of cattle up to work them it's a big social event. Folks in the county trailer in their horses, saddle up and push cattle into the working pens, etc...this herd was 80-90 pairs. I took Airy (Quietude Arioso) again.
CAROL MILLER RIDING QUIETUDE SARAHA & PAT NISSEN ON QUIETUDE CORDOVAIN THE SHAWNEE NATIONAL PARK IL I just returned last Sunday from my semi annual trip out to Shawnee National Park IL for another beautiful week of riding Quietude Sahara through some magnificent landscape. Sahara and I put in about 30 hours on the trail that week and Pat Nissen came and we all had a wonderful time. I got to ride Pat Nisson's awesome boy Quietude Cordova who is rock solid and trained beautifully. (I was giving Sahara a much deserved day off!) I felt I was on top of a mountain and he was very laid back. He did startle one time when one of the other ladies sneezed which became a funny moment. Anyway, after a 4.5 hour ride Cordova and I both wanted to ride more. Thank you for all you do to make these great horses for us to enjoy and take care of us.

QUIETUDE GARLAND & Lauren Grimditch CO As I went to close the gate, I stepped off of the road and all of a sudden Garland and I are sinking into the ground!!! I am on her back and my foot is touching the ground. This happened very quickly! I realize that we are in some sort of hole and I have to get off and fast because I am going to have to get her head and pull her out. As I am trying to get off (about 6 inches from a barbed wire fence at this point) she is scrambling to get out of the mud/sink/quick sand hole." THE REST OF THE STORY

RAVEL'S JUMP by Tom Timblin A short story of Ravel and his jumping ability. Sandy wanted to get some new photos of Ravel because we hadn't taken any since last Fall. Sandy put Ravel in the working ring and was trying "The Old Plastic Bag Trick" to scare him into running and showing off. But that did not work, because, Ravel is so level-headed and trusting of Sandy that nothing will scare him. THE REST OF THE STORY. ASTONISHING VIDEO OF RAVEL JUMPING AT SIX MONTHS
THE SOAKING
We were having scattered thunderstorms, so it was hard to know when to ride. Yesterday looked very threatening for rain, but Cathy on Max, Mary on Twilight and I on Mandolin headed across the Greenbrier River to ride the heavily wooded Rhododendron Trail and then the pasture trails around Joel's place. Soon the light drizzle turned to a steady downpour, with the dripping leaves adding to our soak. THE REST OF THE STORY
QUIETUDE HOMEWARD
(Quietude Jubilee Kingdom x
Quietude Honor Bright) PEDIGREE
"Jubilee Kingdom is what I would call a cornerstone horse - one to build on. Just as Criterion, Jubilee King, and Daniel Lambert were all cornerstones. He is all of these, and he is uniquely himself as well. Kingdom's pedigree is a work of art. His breeders at Quietude have managed to retain a full 50% of Criterion's blood in him - and 50% of Criterion's blood in a grandson or great-grandson coming through multiple lines is more potent even than 50% in a son or daughter. At the same time, where you see Criterion's name three times in the first three generations, his breeders have woven in the blood of seven different mares with no repeats in those first three generations. This is both beautiful and incredible."
~ Brenda Tippin, OR ~
"Kingdom represented perfection to me from the moment I met him in person (I never had the pleasure of knowing Criterion, but perhaps he had the same effect on you and Shannon), and I knew I would have to have a son ultimately. There is nothing really to improve upon from Kingdom - just a matter of choosing a mare that will at best complement, or, at worst, in no way dilute, his charisma, gameness, and balance ... Miranda immediately struck me as the right mix of things -- she is so "game" for a mare ... intelligent and good, but owns her space and place in the world without apology - with a classic beauty and balance, and rare eyes that see right through you. So I think the gods were fairly aligned on Empire, and it could not have been any other way."

THE QUIETUDE STUD PRESERVES THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF ANY MORGAN FAMILY IN THE BREED
There are but a handful of horses alive today with a TCP (Total Combined Percentages) that can approach the Quietude herd. To begin with, the high percentage of Justin Morgan is hard to match, then you add in the highest percentages of Daniel Lambert and Jubilee King and you can see why this family should be revered by all Morgan enthusiasts." ~ LIST OF PERCENTAGES~
"The Quietude Stud is a time capsule of rich Morgan blood preserving the blood of four of the most revered horses in Morgan history, Jubilee King, Daniel Lambert, Sherman Morgan and Justin Morgan. All are in one beautiful package, the LAMBERT MORGAN."
"Without the Quietude herd the Lambert family would most likely only be found in history books. The Quietude Stud is a time capsule of rich Morgan blood preserving the blood of four of the most revered horses in Morgan history, Jubilee King, Daniel Lambert, Sherman Morgan and Justin Morgan. All are in one beautiful package, the LAMBERT MORGAN." ~ Steve Giberti MA~
CRITERION: FOUNDATION SIRE
FOR THE MODERN LAMBERT MORGAN
Criterion was a correct, baroque, stylish, wonderfully moving, well-tempered stallion who passed his traits on to his get. He was sired by the Jubilee King son, Jubilee's Courage, bred by Mrs. Bryant. Mrs. Bryant chose the excellent Old Vermont mare Lippitt Robrita to go to Jubilee's Courage, and got Criterion. Robrita's sire, Lippitt Rob Roy, was noted for his get, his usability and good temperament. The mare Alrita, Robrita's dam, was noted for her beauty, very long mane, correctness and her ability to produce fine foals. She carries three crosses to Daniel Lambert behind her, thus giving another mixture of the Lambert and Old Vermont lines."
"But Mrs. Bryant was not doing anything new. For J. C. Brunk, that master breeder, had already been doing this, melding Daniel Lambert sires with Old Vermont mares of high percent. His mares existed before the name Lippitt was given to much of this family, but they were the same breeding as what was to become Lippitt, and usually from the same foundation stock. Brunk then danced the intricate dance of close breeding getting results that only a master can. From this came Jubilee King and Paragraph.
Jubilee King became one of the most influential sires of the breed but sadly very few bred on his descendants in any sort of pure, intentional form so that today his name is usually just one more lost in a pedigree."

'ake for example your Calcutta. He is the oldest living son of Criterion. Did you know
If you xpand his 5 generation pedigree, tracing the sire line of all 32 horses on the riCALCUTA OF QUIETUDE
(Criterion x Dolly Ashmore)
Take for example your Calcutta. He is the oldest living son of Criterion. Did you know If you expand his 5 generation pedigree, tracing the sire line of their 1st and 2d dam, which makes 96 lines - he has 45 direct crosses to Justin Morgan in just 12 generations,17 in 11 generations, and 10 in 13 generations. That is pretty impressive!.'

QUIETUDE JUBILEE LAMBERT
(Criterion x Delilah Vermont)
The percent of Jubilee King in Quietude Jubilee Lambert is 34.375%. Criterion: Jubilee King was his grandsire, so he has 25%. As for Delilah Vermont, her grandsire was Cavendish who was 50% being by a Jubilee King son out of a Jubilee King daughter. Cavendish was bred to another Jubilee King daughter to produce Delilah's sire, Legend of Cavenglo - so he had 50%. Delilah's dam Dina Vermont was by the Jubilee King son Red Vermont, and out of a Jubilee King granddaughter, so Dinah had 37.5%. That makes Delilah 43.75%. Bred to Criterion, her son Jubilee Lambert has 34.375% of Jubilee King blood. Which is amazing! ~ Brenda Tippin ~ JUBILEE LAMBERT'S VIDEO / JUBILEE LAMBERTS PEDIGREE
