Farm
Profile
Bill
and Helen Crawford have been
breeding and raising Morgan
show horses for over 35 years.
In 1973, they left their New England home and relocated to Wilsonville,
Oregon, midway between Portland and Salem. Their efficient
and impeccably maintained
farm of 17 acres was home to around 20 Morgans until late in 2003,
when they made a big move to picturesque and sunny LaCresta in Murrieta,
California.
A new farm was built with training and breeding barns and a home for Carolyn and her husband. Tug Hill Whamunition and his harem are settled into the new farm. This location brings them closer to their off-farm training team at Blackridge RJH.
With daughter Carolyn Crawford Dillon
handling the training duties after coming home from jobs at Morgan,
Arabian and American Saddlebred facilities around the country,
Boston Morgan Farm keeps
all the fun in the family.
Helen does most of the showing, Bill coaches the
two ladies and is sometimes seen at the whip of some of the horses.
Carolyn, Helen and Bill have all been winners at the Morgan World
Championships in Oklahoma City.
Although small in scope, this family operation has earned
a reputation for breeding and showing high quality horses to
many Regional, Grand National and World Championships. The farm's
celebrity in residence, of course, is Tug Hill Whamunition.
A World Champion
Stallion in hand, six-time World Champion in the Park Saddle
section and packing a total of 11 World Championship titles overall, this charismatic stallion is right at home and is enjoying welcoming visitors and charming the ladies of his court.
Just
being introduced to the public,
as a future successor to
his famous sire, is Battle
Cry (Tug Hill
Whamunition x HVK Ancient
Cry).
