Westwind Morgans, located in Montana, breeds foundation ranching bloodline
Morgan horses. The old ranchers bred horses with good bone, depth of body, and disposition. Westwind Morgan horses represent the best
of the old ranching lines of the early West.
Our foundation stock goes back to many of the historic Morgan stock horses from early
ranches of Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and the Southwest.
Westwind Morgans is breeding what has come to be known as the Western Working Morgan Horse. Our breeding is a proven nick of bloodlines, with sires going back
to the Warner Angus Ranch of Dodge City, Kansas and broodmares from the Sweet’s family in Jewell County Kansas.

The cross
produces foals that are of a consistent type and size. We produce a limited number of foals each year
that represent the best of first purebred stock horse of the late 1800’s from throughout the West. Westwind Morgans is carrying
on the tradition of the old type ranch bred Morgan horse.
WAR Justin was our foundation stallion from the historic Warner family of the Warner Angus Ranch, were bred to work cows.
“Blackie”, as he was known, put bone, disposition, stamina, and cow into his get, horses that can work all day and come back for more.
The Warner horses left before sunrise and worked an honest day and returned late into the night. This is a ranch that has proven its
breeding over the decades.

We strive to
carry on the tradition of the working cow
horse which the Warner Angus Ranch has
produced for several generations and is
carried on by the family to this day.
WAR Justin produced mostly black, bay or brown get. He sired many excellent stock, trail,
saddle, and sport horses. When crossed on our Sweet’s bred mares the result is typically
a 15.0 hand horse with a good mind, bone, depth of body and true Morgan confirmation and
an incredible trot which has allowed many of Blackie’s get to excel in many disciplines.
The Sweet’s mares owned by Westwind Morgans were bred on another Kansas
working ranch owned by Harry and Mabel
Sweet. Looking for cow sense, good minds,
bone, ability and depth of body, the Sweet’s
bred horses are a great cross when bred to
our foundation stallion. These
longtime breeders selected their broodmares for their speed,
agility, and ability to do ranch work.

Yet another
famous western ranching family, The Mosher Brothers of Utah,
bred one the best all around cow horses ever in the Morgan
breed. Classy Boy competed against the best Quarter Horses
of the day and could beat 'em all. Classy Boy figures prominently
in all of the Sweet’s mares sire line.
If you are looking for a Morgan horse that goes back to the original stock horse of the West you
have come to the right place. Our bloodlines produce horses that can do it all, from working stock and
cuttin’ cows, driving, sport horses and good old family horses that make wonderful trail horses.
These blood lines have competed on a national level in carriage driving and some of the most prestigious
events in the sport. Westwind Morgans bloodlines produce athletic horses which can compete at all levels in a variety of disciplines.
