Currently owned by Wendy LeGate, OGO Morgans, Golden Wintermist is in foal to Vining LeMar for an August 2009 foal. She was sired by Golden Sonfield who in turn was sired by the very well known Palomino stallion Desert Sands, owned by the late Steve Reeves. Desert Sands was a colorful in a time when palominos were not popular in the Morgan world. Despite that he succeeded in virtually all disciplines under saddle and in harness. He won Championships in Park saddle, Western Pleasure and driving. His most remembered appearances however were as a Parade Horse at the annual Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade for an unprecedented seven years straight. In addition to being a beautiful, true Golden color the breeding behind Desert Sands is nothing to discount at all. He was sired by Jeanne Mehl's stallion Merry Warlock, an own son of Mabel Owen's Merry Knox. Merry Warlock was a very well known and used stallion in the Pacific North West while Merry Knox made his fame and reputation back east in New England. Merry Warlock's dam was the famous broodmare Conniedale by Lippitt Croyden Ethan out of Annadale. Conniedale was the dam of seventeen foals including Easter Twilight and Katie Twilight by Lippitt Sam Twilight, as well as being the dam of six other foals by Merry Knox, two by Squire Burger and three more in addition to those. Annadale dam of Conniedale was a half sister to Flyhawk being out of Florette but by the Government stallion Monterey. Lippitt Croyden Ethan was by Lippitt Ethan Ash out of Croyden Mary. Lippitt Ethan Ash was bred by Robert Lippitt Knight and he carried 328 crosses to Justin Morgan. He was sired by Ashbrook and out of Trilby. This is Foundation Lippitt breeding of the highest caliber. Merry Knox sire of Merry Warlock was himself the sire of forty eight Morgan foals. He was bred by Mabel Owen of Merrylegs Farm, in MA. He was a horse of approximately half US Government Farm breeding and half of Brunk breeding. Sired by Meade bred by the USDA Morgan Farm, out of April Showers, Merry Knox was a very handsome, very 1 typy , chestnut stallion. Meade was sired by Goldfield out of Glady. Both Goldfield and Glady were sired by Mansfield. Meade himself had a reputation as a very hot, spirited stallion. He certainly was a very good looking horse and an excellent mover. Goldfield's dam was Juno by Forester out of Gertrude. Forester was by Meteor 2nd out of Eleanor Gates by General Gates. Meteor 2nd went back to Black Hawk Morgan while Lady Alice the dam of Meteor 2nd went back to Bulrush through Morrill. General Gates , sire of Eleanor Gates , went back to Sherman in tail male lines, while Ellen, the dam of Eleanor Gates went back to Sherman through Daniel Lambert and back to Bulrush through Benedict Morrill. So it's fair to say that while at first glance Merry Knox was half Government bred and half Brunk bred, in reality he has far more Sherman blood coming through him than appears at first. Juno's dam Gertrude, was by General Gates as well, her dam was Caroline by Daniel Lambert out of Cleopatra who went back to Morrill and back to Sherman again through General Putnam – her sire.

Meade's dam Glady was out of Lady Sealect. Lady Sealect was by Select out of My Lady Knox. Select by Sir Ethan Allen, was out of Bell Marea by Knox Morgan. My Lady Knox was also by Knox Morgan. Sir Ethan Allen went back to Ethan Allen 3rd, and while that line does eventually go back to Ethan Allen 50 to Sherman, it also goes back to Woodbury Morgan through Gifford more often. Sir Ethan Allen did have a line to Billy Root by Sherman and again to Ethan Allen 50 through his dam -the Walter Russell mare. It is the two crosses here to Knox Morgan that in part gave Merry Knox his name.

April Showers was the dam of Merry Knox. She was sired by Squire Burger and out of Easter Maid. Squire Burger was by Juzan out of Nella by Allen King. Juzan was by Jubilee King out of Liza Jane by Knox Morgan. Allen King was a full brother to Penrod who was the sire of Jubilee King. Easter Maid was by Jubilee King and out of Allana by Allen King. Making her a half sister to Nella. Allana's dam was Ruby Reade by Charles Reade who was by Woodward's Ethan Allen by Ethan Allen 50 by Black Hawk. The dam of Charles Reade was Princess Dagmar by Daniel Lambert and her dam was a granddaughter of Ethan Allen 50 as well. This line, that 2 of April Showers is extremely concentrated Sherman blood. Squire Burger's line is only a little less so, the difference being his two crosses to Knox Morgan through Liza Jane who also carried the blood of Allen Franklin, sire of Allen King, and that of JC Brunk's famous mare Senata.
