THE LAMBERT FAMILY OF CRITERION
'CRITERION IS ONE OF THE GREATEST RECENT EXAMPLES OF THE TYPE OF OLD JUSTIN MORGAN'
Brenda Tippin: Morgan Historian
SHERMAN MORGAN DANIEL LAMBERT JUBILEE KING CRITERION
BLACK HAWK 20
SON OF SHERMAN MORGAN

"Black Hawk is a little under fifteen hands high,
and weighs about ten hundred pounds. His compact, symmetrical and nervous, elastic style of action, give unmistakable evidence of the speed and endurance he has shown upon the turf and road." D.C. Linsley

 BLACK HAWK
ETHAN ALLEN 50

"Ethan Allen was one of the best horses of any age or clime. As a colt he was a family pet. "You couldn't get him by the window but that he would puis head in to get a piece of cake," said Mrs. Holcomb. Of all the horses that have been favorites with the American people, no one has ever approximated the popularity of Ethan Allen. His remarkable beauty, his wonderful speed, his perfect action, and, above all, his kind and gentle disposition made him the admiration and the pet of everybody."

WALLACE

"No one has ever raised a doubt as to his being the handsomest, finest-styled and most perfectly gaited trotter that has ever been produced."

D. C. PARLEN
 ETHAN ALLEN
This image of Ethan Allen may be the only accurate 'photo' of him that exists. Daguerro types often faded so cuts wee made by precisely tracing the original daguerreo type to preserve, as accurately as possible, the form of the horse.
JUBILEE KING (Penrod x Daisette)

Jubilee King was a very old horse when I saw him. He had been injured and was well past his prime. What I saw was the most elegant, gallant and appealing Morgan I had seen in all my searching for the perfect horse...Jubilee King was the model for the modern Morgan with beauty and style, size and motion, presence and elegance. His pedigree was one of ancient blood on every line, faultlessly assembled by breeders who knew his ancestors intimately. There were no 'bad apples' to try to breed out. He was correct, he was kind..." "Like Justin Morgan, Jubilee King was bred to all kinds of mares and still was dominant in his best features...

Son of Jubilee King

"Jubilee King was an improver and a consistent sire. There is nothing more anyone could want from a stallion. He ranks among the greatest Morgans ever."
