The Statesman Farm breeding program developed from the ideal exemplified in the The Statesman. Mandy's conformation, long floating stride, balanced canter and cadenced walk were Lynne's model for producing the ideal Morgan sporthorse. Being faithful to these criteria has stood Lynne in good stead over the years. The Statesman horses are known worldwide for their exceptional temperament, beautiful eye, long floating stride, balanced canter and cadenced walk. The consistency with which the Statesman horses pass on these attributes is astounding, even when bred to mares of a different type and breed. A judge once commented to Lynne that he could tell a Statesman horse from a distance just by it's silhouette and way of going.
