JMF Rain Maker “Maker” has a pedigree that truly needs no introduction. His sire, Black River Trojan, was by the illustrious Trophy out of a genetic powerhouse of a mare, Reata Goddess. And his damline is heavy with Beamington/Brunk breeding. You really couldn’t ask for better!

He comes to us on lease from C&C Morgans, a joint venture between Carol Prindle of Whispering Meadows Morgans and Cassie Thomas of Arcanne Manna Morgans. Their shared goal is genetic preservation of Morgans such as Maker so that they are not quietly lost to time.

Maker is very closely related to my very first Morgan gelding, Westwind Enlighten Beam. They are practically full brothers, both being by Black River Trojan and out of Beamington/Brunk mares. So when Cassie and Carol reached out, I was ELATED! There would never be another opportunity like this. There are currently no other standing stallions by Trojan and certainly none with his damline. So, I bullied-or persuaded depending on how you look at it- a lifelong friend who was wanting to get back into Morgans into a lease. Kate couldn’t resist saying yes anymore than I could. So jumped headfirst back into Morgans with a stunning black stallion!

Maker is truly the sweetest old stallion. Never putting a foot wrong, his hobbies include dunking his hay, banging his bucket for grain and watching the foals play. We’ve yet to find the sweet spot for scratches and he’s not the most fond of us fussing over him, but he indulges us nonetheless. He has been an absolute pleasure to bring here and we hope to have many years with this sweet boy.

Due to him coming late in the 2026 season, we have no 2027 foals planned. But have multiple crosses planned for 2028. We cannot thank Carol and Cassie enough for the opportunity to bring this incredible genetics to our program. He was truly the next direction we were dying to head as it’s no secret Trophy and Fleetwing crossed exceptionally well together!
