GREEN MOUNTAIN (BACHOP HORSE) 



Black chestnut, 15^ hands, 1125 pounds; foaled 1828; bred by Wm. 

 Bachop, Barnet, Vt. ; got by Sherman Morgan : dam black. Archibald 

 Bachop, Newbury, Vt., son of Wm. Bachop, says : " The old Sherman 

 Morgan came to father's and stood in his stable two or three years. Father 

 had a black mare that came from Canada, called English blood. He raised 

 from her another black one, got by the Dean Horse of Danville, a black, good-

 Sherman Morgan, a smallish black horse, which he took to Boston when five 

 and sold. This was the winter before we sold the other. Father lived then 

 in Barnet. I think this last horse was kept a while in Massachusetts as a 

 stallion. Burbank Morgan resembled our Green Mountain very much ; was 

 about the same color and size. A Morgan horse owned in Cabot by Clark 

 was quite a good horse, light chestnut, 15 hands, 1000 pounds; got by 

 Sherman. The old Sherman was very hollow-backed when at father's, a 

 little too much that way, but his stock were all right." Sold by breeder, 1834, 

 for $500, to Messrs. Butler and Whitcher, who took him to Hampshire Co., 

 Mass. Afterwards owned in Barnet a number of years by a Mr. Harvey, and 

 later by George Wheeler, Danville, Vt., who, it is thought, took him West. 

 He is described as a remarkably strong, hardy animal, not so high-headed 

 as some, but a very good traveler on the road, and hard to tire out. We
