CRITERION 1961-1995
(Jubilee's Courage x Lippitt Robrita)
~ Job 39: 19-25 KING JAMES VERSION ~
"Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting."
CRITERION: FOUNDATION STALLION FOR THE CONTEMPORARY LAMBERT FAMILY "CRITERION makes a grand illustration the passage in Job 39:19-25. Using Criterion himself as the ideal of what they wished to breed for, Quietude chose to focus on the Lambert and Jubilee King blood as it was presented through him. Where inbreeding and line breeding were used, the Woodbury lines behind Criterion and the founding Quietude mares already had built in the necessary distance and balance to keep it from being too close. The Quietude program has done an amazing job of preserving this fine balance using the blood of Criterion. Like Jubilee King, like Daniel Lambert, like Justin Morgan before him, Criterion was exceedingly prepotent. Each of these horses in that line presented an abundance of the valued Morgan type and traits, yet each added a look and character to their particular branch of the Morgan family that is both Morgan and uniquely their own.
In understanding the lines behind Criterion, he is not 'half Lippitt', as some might think at a glance. The 'Lippitt' prefix was first used by the breeding program of Robert Lippitt Knight. The Lippitt registry, established to preserve high concentrations of early Morgan blood without outcrosses was named after this, since so many of Knight’s horses had these lines. However, not all horses with Lippitt in the prefix were included in the Lippitt registry, and likewise other horses were included which did not have Lippitt in the name. It makes more sense to me to refer to those horses behind Criterion as 'Woodbury sire line', since this is correct, regardless whether they were part of the Lippitt registry. The specially selected high percentage Woodbury lines behind Criterion were unique in that they were also woven with additional threads of Daniel Lambert and Bulrush. The blood of Justin Morgan’s three most influential sons, Sherman, Woodbury, and Bulrush are thus effectively blended.
Though some early breeders disapproved of Daniel Lambert and would not cross to him, due to prejudice against his speed and popularity among trotting horse breeders, there were several who recognized his Morgan excellence and did. These are the Woodbury with Lambert and Bulrush lines seen here. The term 'clean-blooded Lambert' was never intended to suggest Morgans of other bloodlines were somehow inferior. It was simply adopted by Quietude to maintain their own focus in preserving the look and type of Criterion without adding the influence of other families which might alter that.
"ONE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE BEAUTIFUL STAMP OF CRITERION ON ALL THE QUIETUDE MORGANS."

QUIETUDE JUBILEE KINGDOM (Quietude Barcelona x Honor of Quietude)
"Jubilee Kingdom is what I would call a cornerstone horse - one to build on. Just as Criterion, Jubilee King, and Daniel Lambert were all cornerstones. He is all of these, and he is uniquely himself as well. Kingdom's pedigree is a work of art. His breeders at Quietude have managed to retain a full 50% of Criterion's blood in him - and 50% of Criterion's blood in a grandson or great-grandson coming through multiple lines is more potent even than 50% in a son or daughter. At the same time, where you see Criterion's name three times in the first three generations, his breeders have woven in the blood of seven different mares with no repeats in those first three generations. This is both beautiful and incredible."
~ Brenda Tippin, OR ~
"Kingdom represented perfection to me from the moment I met him in person (I never had the pleasure of knowing Criterion, but perhaps he had the same effect on you and Shannon), and I knew I would have to have a son ultimately. There is nothing really to improve upon from Kingdom - just a matter of choosing a mare that will at best complement, or, at worst, in no way dilute, his charisma, gameness, and balance ... Miranda immediately struck me as the right mix of things -- she is so "game" for a mare ... intelligent and good, but owns her space and place in the world without apology - with a classic beauty and balance, and rare eyes that see right through you. So I think the gods were fairly aligned on Empire, and it could not have been any other way."

ONE DAY AT QUIETUDE -- NOVEMBER 14, 2009
Early morning & I can see Heaven from my front porch.
While checking electric fences I catch a late sleeper.
Gathering the flock.
After sorting our sheep I count 29 ewes and one ram~~~I think.
While Shannon hauls lambs to market, friends help me take down some electric fence
to give the colts & geldings a very big, green field to graze & play in.
Eventide -- perhaps Quietude Highland Trace is thinking he is seeing Heaven too, Horse Heaven that is.

QUIETUDE WINDWARD PASSAGE Quietude Jubilee Kingdom x
Quietude Cherish)
When we brought Windward home as a year and a half old stallion I tried to heed the words of Shannon Hanley as he very patiently loaded this young fellow. "He's very sensitive and needs patience in handling since he's been running with the guys since they were weanlings......and this guy will put you on the map when he's old enough to breed".
Well, Windward and I spent that winter getting to know one another and the time spring came he would do anything I asked of him. We had bonded. He now is a three-yea-old checking out all the mares but when I bring him in and put a halter on him.....he's all mine again. I love when we turn him into a new pasture how he struts his stuff and shows off, tail in the air....so full of himself but when he calms down he's right there ready for a hug. What more could anyone ask for? ~ Joyce Napotnik, PA
QUIETUDE FARE THEE WELL (Crawford x Daisy Woodbury)
Fare Thee Well is a horse that dreams are made on. We never owned a stallion before and we didn't know what to expect and he was not quite two-years-old when we brought him home. My granddaughter Kalie Morgan (yes her middle name is Morgan) was only two when she spied Fare Thee Well and the mare behind the barn. Under the wood fence she crawled and sat at the feet of Fare Thee Well and our mare. Before I could get to her I watched as this gentle stallion reached down and nuzzled her outstretched hand ever so gently. After my heart started beating again I knew I could never explain the tenderness this stallion showed this baby. He knew, trusted and made a connection...... and eight years later he's still the same. We try and give him the love and respect he has given us over the years as a stallion, father and trusted friend. He is absolutely remarkable.

THE QUIETUDE STUD PRESERVES THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF ANY MORGAN FAMILY IN THE BREED
There are but a handful of horses, if that, alive today with a TCP (Total Combined Percentages) that can approach the Quietude herd. To begin with, the high percentage of Justin Morgan is hard to match, then you add in the highest percentages of Daniel Lambert and Jubilee King and you can see why this family should be revered by all Morgan enthusiasts." ~ STEVE GIBERTI, MA ~ LIST OF PERCENTAGES
"CRITERION was a correct, baroque, stylish, wonderfully moving, well-tempered stallion who passed his traits on to his get. He was sired by the Jubilee King son, Jubilee's Courage, bred by Mrs. Bryant. Mrs. Bryant chose the excellent Old Vermont mare Lippitt Robrita to go to Jubilee's Courage, and got Criterion. Robrita's sire, Lippitt Rob Roy, was noted for his get, his usability and good temperament. The mare Alrita, Robrita's dam, was noted for her beauty, very long mane, correctness and her ability to produce fine foals. She carries three crosses to Daniel Lambert behind her, thus giving another mixture of the Lambert and
Old Vermont lines."
"But Mrs. Bryant was not doing anything new. For J. C. Brunk, that master breeder, had already been doing this, melding Daniel Lambert sires with Old Vermont mares of high percent. His mares existed before the name Lippitt was given to much of this family, but they were the same breeding as what was to become Lippitt, and usually from the same foundation stock. Brunk then danced the intricate dance of close breeding getting results that only a master can. From this came Jubilee King and Paragraph.
Jubilee King became one of the most influential sires of the breed but sadly very few bred on his descendants in any sort of pure, intentional form so that today his name is usually just one more lost in a pedigree."
Laura Algranti ~ Noted Morgan Horse Historical Writer ~
'Take for example your Calcutta. He is the oldest living son of Criterion. Did you know If you expand his 5 generation pedigree, tracing the sire line of all 32 horses on the right side, as well as the sire line of their 1st and 2d dam, which makes 96 lines - he has 45 direct crosses to Justin Morgan in just 12 generations, 17 in 11 generations, and 10 in 13 generations. That is pretty impressive!.'
Brenda Tippin ~ Noted Morgan Historian and Biologist ~
QUIETUDE JUBILEE LAMBERT (Criterion x Delilah Vermont)
'The percent of Jubilee King in Quietude Jubilee Lambert is 34.375%. Criterion: Jubilee King was his grandsire, so he has 25%. As for Delilah Vermont, her grandsire was Cavendish who was 50% being by a Jubilee King son out of a Jubilee King daughter. Cavendish was bred to another Jubilee King daughter to produce Delilah's sire, Legend of Cavenglo - so he had 50%. Delilah's dam Dina Vermont was by the Jubilee King son Red Vermont, and out of a Jubilee King granddaughter, so Dinah had 37.5%. That makes Delilah 43.75%. Bred to Criterion, her son Jubilee Lambert has 34.375% of Jubilee King blood. Which is amazing! ~ Brenda Tippin ~
