Here is a piece of history for you all!

This is Lyle and Mant Horton with Kit and Hortense Hoffman. Kit was EH Hoffman’s youngest son. Ed Hoffman (d. 1912) was a dealer in Morgan horses – also did some breeding. From Lyndon, Vermont. He also knew a lot of Morgan history and helped AF Phillips find horses (AF Phillips is in our cover photo).

Would love to hear more about the story regarding what was happening this day. Note the “Win a Registered Lippitt Morgan Colt” poster in the background!
