The Statesman / Kennebec connection
THE STATESMAN, great-grandsire of KENNEBEC JOYCE. Lynne Shpak and Margaret Gardiner crossed their two great lines to produce a superior Morgan Sport Horse.
ENSIGNS STATELY SAWYER (above). He is linebred Kells by his sire Ensigns Majestic Heir and his lovely mother Kells Magic Karess. Kari and Majestic are half siblings, sharing same dam Kells Magic in the Heir. Ensigns Grace is retaining Sawyer
Ensigns Admiralty on left and Kells Joyous Xclamation on right. Both mares are in foal to Kennebec Commander, the last stud at Kennebec Farm for 2023. We are VERY excited about these crosses. And we are honored to continue your line Dear Peggy Gardiner.
ENSIGNS MAJESTIC HEIR (pictured) is our first Statesman/Kells to Kennebec cross and it is superb. It was Lynne Shpak and Peggy Gardiner who first combined these 2 Morgan powerhouse lines in the early 1990s when Lynne was invited to bring The Statesman to Maine. The result was Kennebec Joy.
