THE QUIETUDE LAMBERT BREEDING PROGRAM
JUBILEE'S COURAGE & HIS SON CRITERION
Written by Brenda Tippin The Morgan Horse / November 1996
''The historic family of Daniel Lambert is among the oldest and most respected of the Morgan breed... Thanks to a few breeders who diligently had preserved it throughout the years..this great family is once again making a comeback.'
"Of all the remaining branches of the Lambert family alive today, this, is by far the largest concentration of pure Lambert blood close up in the pedigree, due to the diligent concern of Susan and Shannon Hanley in preserving this family at their Quietude Stud.
Criterion was the Jubilee's Courage son with whom Frances Bryant chose to continue her breeding program, and the Hanleys purchased him when she was dispersing her herd. Susan and Shannon have skillfully tailored their breeding program to achieve exactly those qualities they felt were most important to them as breeders through careful infusions of high-percentage Woodbury blood upon the concentrated Lambert blood through the great Criterion and then breeding closely among his children and grandchildren. Criterion,
one of the greatest recent examples of the type of old Justin, passed away in 1995 at the grand age ofthirty-four.

The unique Quietude herd contains practically no non-Morgan blood beyond that from horses registered in Volume I. Exceptions to this rule are very few and always weighed carefully. The result is a classically old style Morgan any old-time Vermont breeder would be proud to own, with all the deep-bodied muscular type of Justin, and the Lambert color, style, and beauty, with an astounding natural athletic ability.
The Hanley's dedicated interest and beautiful videos have won many new aspiring Lambert breeders, many also adopting the clean-blooded Quietude standard. Most are small breeders hoping to produce a few clean-blooded Lamberts in addition to crossing the Lambert blood."
