Mare

  • William Wight Mare
  • Jan 01, 1811 Bay  Standardbred
  • Researching Sire X Researching Dam

Breeding unknown
AKA Molton Mare.
Bay, small star, black points, 15.1h, 1100 lbs.
High-headed, good on the road, and with a turn of speed. Trotted & paced.

Little is known of the dam of Woodbury Morgan, where she came from or what blood she carried, though it is evident she was a well-bred animal, probably largely, if not wholly, of Thoroughbred ancestry. She was said to be an English mare. The mare was owned by William Wight,
Lyman’s father, who purchased her from Major John Moulton, who had brought her into Bethel. The mare was five years old when Woodbury, likely her first colt, was foaled, and it is not known whether she had any others. A good-sized mare, she weighed eleven hundred pounds and stood well over 15.2 hands tall. She was a deep rich bay in color, with black legs, as well as black mane and tail which were full and very beautiful. She had no white markings save for a small white spot on her forehead. Her build was unlike the Morgans, being rather flat-ribbed and not very compactly made, nevertheless, she had a capital chest, fine hips and shoulders, and her limbs were excellent. Her head, which she carried well up, was lean and fine with a beautiful lustrous eye, noble in appearance and showing good breeding. The mare was inclined to start out with a pacing gait which she exchanged for a trot as she gathered speed, and was very fast. Her showy style, majestic carriage, and handsome appearance in harness attracted much attention.
