Silver Maple Stables was established in 1959 when my mother, Mary Catherine Gerhardt, purchased the Senator Graham daughter, Kamiah to be my pleasure Horse. And this began my lifelong devotion to the Morgan Horse. One good Morgan always leads to another and so it was that Silver Maple Stables became a Morgan breeding farm. Many years of studying pedigrees with my mentor, Helen Brunk Greenwalt, gave me a strong foundation in my breeding theories that continue to this day.
Beamine (Beamington x Pleasant Lady) |
Beamine was bred by SMS and hailed as Beamington's greatest son. A horse of extraordinary beauty and refinement, he epitomized the excellence sought in my breeding program. A star from the day he was born, he was the first Grand National Champion bred by SMS. He was Reserve World Champion stallion in 1977. He left just 39 offspring and of these some 86% were all Champions. His death at age five was a severe blow to the breeding program at the farm. Beamine's son, Thunderbay, carries on for his sire. With 23 World and or Grand National titles to his credit, this horse is one of the most popular Morgan Horses in the country. |
With the loss of Beamine, plans went into motion to breed another stallion to follow his tradition of excellence. A daughter of Fairfield Fortune was sent to Beamington and the following spring produced Forevermore. Mission accomplished. |
(Beamington x Merwin Madonna) |
Forevermore proved to be more than anyone could hope for in a breeding stallion. His heart and courage were beyond compare. Not only the sire of successful show ring winners, his daughters have proven to be outstanding producers. Check out the offspring of our Forevermore daughters as you peruse our site. We lost this great stallion in the fall of 2001. |
