Our Stallions – Rafter Bar D Morgans

We welcome you to meet the stallions of Rafter Bar D. . . We have selectively chosen our stallions for excellent dispositions, heart and willingness combined with athletic ability, and eye catching beauty.

Arion at 2 years old. We really love this beautiful fella.

It's taken us a little time to pick up the pieces and we still have tears from the tragic loss of Blaze, but he did leave a legacy of foals that fill our hearts.

Arion is in Blaze's paddock now, and I decided to school him today. I worked with him only one other time earlier this summer, because things have been turned upside down. He's been just hanging out with the geldings growing up. I honestly haven't done much with him since foal kindergarten in 2023, so this is quite a testament to his mind.

I must admit I had a few tears today schooling him...he reminds me so much of Blaze. He's got some pretty big shoes to fill. We'll see what the future holds.

Enjoy the video and thank you all for the encouragement and support through losing Blaze.

Rest in Peace Beautiful boy ~

We tragically lost Blaze July 16, 2025. We are devestated at the loss of such a great one. Rest in peace beautiful boy. We miss you every day and see you everywhere in your amazing foals.

Amberfields Blaze N Dun

(Amberfields Embossedngold x Amberfields Lonesome Dove)

2012 Morgan Stallion ~ 15.2H Homozygous Dun & Black EE Aa DD

Negative for PSSM1

Blaze is one of those "One in a lifetime" stallions that embodies everything we look for in a Morgan. I still look at him and he captivates me, even though I see him every day. He is such a calm minded soul and loves attention.

He is the whole package with a great mind, good solid bone, size with Morgan type, athletic ability to be versatile, the hair gene and a true gentleman. I LOVE this stallion and his foals are amazing.

Many who have followed Blaze know that we tried to ship his semen 9 years ago and his semen did not ship well. We have been giving him a unique blend of supplements and with maturity, we are hoping his semen will ship well. We did one test collection and it looked super. We are going to test further and settle one of our mares via fresh cooled extended before considering offering shipped. Stay tuned!

RBD Raphael Cavallo Forte

(Amberfields Blaze N Dun x Marieke fan North Ster)

2019 Grulla Moriesian 16H

(Morgan x Friesian)

Homozygous Back & Heterozygous Dun EE Dd

We have frozen semen available on Raphael. His semen is excellent and settles mares. Raphael is a gelding now in training with Lauren Prine at Maple Grove Equine. He's excelling in dressage schooling and will be shown next year.

A few photos below from this fall 2025 of Raphael at Liberty and a clinic at Laurens.

Raphael embodies my vision for quality colorful Moriesians. He has a great mind, forward uphill movement, a balanced build and a beautiful fairytale presence. He's my unicorn and I sure do love this big fella

Raphael's 2025 Moriesian filly from frozen semen on a maiden mare. She is our first second generation Moriesian and she is outstanding all the way around. We love her!

For those of you who don't know... Raphael had a bad injury (he was stepped on and left with a floppy dislocated joint) at 4 days old. His left hind, just below his ankle, has a metal plate and 5 screws. I wrote a book about his journey. https://ranchlifenaturals.com/product.../raphaels-story/ Other than the bump, you would hardly know. I am forever thankful to Dr. Alford for saving him.

The Moriesian Horse Registry established in 1997 says it best about this amazing cross. "Uniting the Dark Ages of Europe with Colonial America to create a New Renaissance of the Horse World"
