POSM Horse TM, etc.. Upon our receipt
of your application requirements, new members are sent
your New Member Packet with more information on the POSMs. Please become
involved in preserving the POSM Horse.
Most POSMs are found in
the hundreds of waves of the lake of the Lippitt Club
primarily.
The
greater nondiscriminate source of POSMs is found in the ocean's
thousands of waves of the American Morgan Horse Association
(AMHA).
It depends on how much time
one has for study, searching pedigrees, searching breeders, visiting
farms, creating relationships, etc. or just basically "recreating
the wheel". Remember the POSM Horse type flourished when work
was physically hard and tediously perilous. It was a time when
reliable help from a God gifted equine friend could mean the
difference between life and death of you or your family or
neighbors. People worked the land, traveled and transported
with animal power rather than solely by hand. And, the light
draft original old type Morgan or POSM Horse was highly
favored. This type Morgan brought the highest prices.
The POSM type was the all around use Morgan.
The POSM was not the product of human engineers and
calculations. He was favored because he excelled
at everything on the small family farms, homesteads, the woods
and on the roads.
Once you have your POSM,
please register with the POSM Horse Registry so other
preservationists will know who they may breed to, buy from, what
traits your POSM is strong in or who has appropriate stud services,
etc.. We will gladly supply your name, upon request, to
prospective owners and breeders. Remember, as a member of
APOSMHA, if someone wants to buy a POSM from you and you sense,
hear, know, they are not kind to their animals or do not intend to
breed POSMs, DO NOT SELL! Think about the
commitment. They are wonderful little horses. Dont't
tell anybody, but they are fun too!
Please print this form in Landscape mode on your printer; fill it
