Welcome to the Flower Valley Morgan Farm website. We are the proud producers of "Kells" Morgans and have been breeding Morgans for family pleasure for over 20 years. Our horses are also bred to excel in driving, "sport" disciplines, and western pleasure. You'll find our horses to be a pleasure to own, train and use. Disposition is of utmost importance, along with good Morgan type and correct conformation. We usually have a few nice young Morgans for sale, so check out our sales listing. Thanks for visiting our site.

Winter 2012 - Not So Much Here
We're enjoying very un-winter like weather, with unusual temps in the 40s and no below 0 temps yet. Nice to see the horses not wearing frost beards and instead of sticking close to their hay feeders, they spend time wandering the pasture. The nice weather has brought inquiries for our sale horses and we appreciate that; always fun to speak with horse folk and have them visit.
We continue to look toward retirement and doing very limited breeding, thus more of our breeding stock will be offered for sale or lease. Plus we offer a few nice young geldings - a couple have been started under saddle.
In 2011, quite a few horses went to wonderful new homes: KS Bluestem Buffalo Gal is now a wonderful trail mount for Deb Leisen, a first time Morgan owner. Kells Lady Josalyn has a new home with Bambi Saastad and Bambi has plans for some future dressage/jumping work with her. Ensigns Abyssinia, a big lovely gaited filly, was purchased by Marshall Anderson, who previously bought his first Morgan from us last year. Marshall loves the Morgans so back for another. Kells Beloved Brianna, is a lovely mare that I had a hard time parting with, but our friend Lois Thiergartner from OH could put her to better use. Lois may use Brie for dressage and breeding in the future. Brie was being wasted as a pasture ornament here with our cutting back on breeding.
Our 4 year old gelding, SC Island King, has had over 60 days under saddle and is going nicely. He is quiet and not spooky. He's ready for trail riding and I'm sure he'd also make a great driving prospect. Kells Tough Luck has had 30 days under saddle and ready for someone to put some more time on him. He's had a good basic start and is over 15 hands with nice big bone.
Though doing very limited breeding, we did welcome a nice black colt in June 2011 out of our best mare, Kells Moonlight Serenade, and his sire is RC Black Tie Affair. Gus is weaned and for sale. I also bred a couple mares for 2012 - Kells Maija Blessed is bred to an outside stallion, Coal Creek Black Oak. Kells Ruby McBride Flynn, a huge black mare, is bred to Kells Above R Xpectations. Ruby is being offered for sale; her expected foal should have great sport potential.
Thanks for checking out our site. We will be updating the individual horses' sections soon.
SC Island King - $1,500 (Speed King x Caduceus Ursula) - Pedigree
Ike traveled from Vermont to Minnesota as a yearling and we had originally planned to add him to
our breeding program, introducing some new bloodlines. Our direction changed and Ike was gelded.
Since we are a breeding farm, we don’t retain geldings so Ike is offered for sale. He is a sweet, friendly
fellow who seeks and deserves much more attention than we can provide. Ike was started under
saddle the Fall 2010 (45 days training) which went well and had 30 more days of training Summer
2011 – just some miles put on him to see if he remembered his previous lessons. He is quiet and non-
spooky under saddle. Ike just needs someone to be riding him regularly to finish him. He has lovely
floating movement. He is being offered at the bargain price of $1,500. See his individual page for more
pictures.
