326 THE MORGAN HORSE 



Spicer states that his sire, Sherman Morgan, was kept at Montpelier and 

 Waterbury the season that the Shepard Horse was got. Jonathan Shepard 

 advertises in the Montpelier "Watchman" of 1829, Young Brilliant, dapple 

 bay, four years old, which is perhaps the same horse. We understand that Mr. 

 Shepard had a son of this horse, also called Wicked Will, which is probably 

 the horse which he advertised, 1842, at Montpelier, Vt., describing him as 

 his well-known Morgan Horse.
