Ryegate Magi Moro
(Ryegate Moro Magic x Ryegate Dixie Moro)
1986 full Lippitt bay broodmare
At 22 years young, "Maggie" has had a productive life as a broodmare, which we hope to continue—but
if we are not so fortunate, she will have a home here at Holy Moly Farm till the end of her days, as she is a wonderful companion,
terrific babysitter, and a remarkably energetic mare under saddle. With the appearance and attitude of a mare many years younger,
Maggie brings the classic look of her sire, Ryegate Moro Magic, to our herd. Maggie took 3rd place in the mares 15+ class
at the 2007 Lippitt Country Show--not bad for an old girl on her first time in the show ring!

Holy Moly Meadow Mist
(Ryegate VT Soma Jed x Double Diamond Anniversary)
2003 full Lippitt black-bay
broodmare
Mist came to us from Alabama by way of Brook Hill Classic Morgans in March 2007.
She had passed through several owners but had not been registered with AMHA until we acquired her, which enabled us to claim
her as our first horse registered under the Holy Moly prefix. When
she was first brought up from Alabama, she was a bit on
the skinny side and flighty from lack of handling, but with daily handling and consistent care at Brook Hill and, later, Holy
Moly farms, her personality and confidence have evolved—she's now a loving, sweet-natured, and well-socialized young
mare. She has also blossomed into a beauty during her pregnancy
to Bayside Rainman, having finally filled out to the lines that best suit a Lippitt mare; she bears a strong resemblance to
her sire, who regrettably is now gelded and won't be producing any more full Lippitt daughters like Mist. We have high
hopes for her impending foal, who will be descended from Ryegate Billy Moro on both sides of his pedigree. And many thanks
to Heather Pinet for bringing Mist to us!
