Black Gum Farms

Last week: mud.
Today: –15° wind chill.

Welcome to Indiana.

It’s often the good ones that leave us too soon.

This exceptional filly was by Akira Derringer and out of Indian Creek Belle Vista (HVK Bell Flaire x Cache). She had presence, balance, mind — everything you hope for.

Sold as a yearling to Kimberley Jarvis, she never had the chance to show the world what we already knew.

Remembered with gratitude, and always part of the program.

A little throwback while we wait for the mud to dry.

This photo of Blackgum SnapBack still reminds us why we do what we do — the presence, the balance, the expression that defines the Morgan breed.

Current owner Daniel Stoltzfus and trainer Andrew Beiler at Sunrise Stables, LLC has SnapBack in training and we hope he finds a family for the 2026 show season, he’s really starting to shine!

We’re excited about what’s coming next for Black Gum Farms and the Boldly horses in 2026 and beyond.

Let’s take a step back in time to 2010 — when it all began.

This beautiful filly was the very first foal my dad and I ever raised: BFA Exotic Ducati. She’s out of TB Midnite Summers Dream and DMF Grand Impression (by HVK Grand Entrance and out of HVK Clairvoyant).

We purchased DMF Grand Impression in foal, and that decision is what kickstarted my entire passion for breeding Morgans. Ducati grew into a stunning mare — every bit of 16hh and built like a brick house.

I later bred her to KJM Soul Commander, and sold her with that foal in utero. The resulting c**t, LVL High Tide, has gone on to show very successfully in western pleasure.

It’s amazing how one special mare can start a lifetime journey. ❤️

Offering Clayhill Don't U Think at the Superior Morgan Sale!

If you’re serious about upgrading your broodmare band, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

At just 6 years old, Una is the youngest daughter of the legendary Serenity Masterpiece, and she’s out of the beautiful Born To Boogie daughter, U-Two. Her pedigree is as strong as they come, and her best years are still ahead of her.

Una is safely in foal to Jus Sayin for 2026 with her first foal. This combines the blood of sires Dragonsmeade Axios and Serenity Masterpiece and dams Brenda Starr and U-Two. We expect great things, it's in the blood.

We want to be clear: Una is not consigned because of a fault or we dislike her. She’s consigned because we believe in supporting the Superior Morgan Sale every year with a quality consignment and she is all of this and more.

Don’t miss the chance to add a young, well-bred Masterpiece mare with a golden cross on the way, to your program.

Superior Morgan Sale — watch for Una!

RWF Simply The Best — and we mean it.
This filly is by none other than the late, great Dragonsmeade Axios and out of the No Contest daughter, Saralin Enigma. She’s got the look, the snort, and that undeniable Morgan attitude.

What makes her truly special is her story. RWF Simply The Best is one of the final horses bred by the late Jay Kleiber of Ridgewood Farm — a visionary breeder with an eye for greatness and a heart fully invested in the Morgan breed. We are honored to carry forward a piece of his legacy, and we think he was right on the mark with this one.

We’re excited for what’s ahead for this incredible filly.

Did you know PLS High Pine Picasso has a full sister?
Meet PLS High Pine Matisse — the only producing daughter left out of the legendary World Champion park mare, Firewind Diva.

A queen in her own right, Matisse continues the legacy with two exciting foals expected in 2026 by SLB Da Vinci and our own Burkland Tough Enough.

Stay tuned — the next generation of Boldly Bred Morgans is on the way.
