Edit - Although HMSTD Rum Runner is no longer a stallion he has a huge influence on the Morgans we breed. Below is the information provided by HMSTD Rum Runners Breeders John & Janine Welsh who have since retired from breeding

We feel that HMSTD Rum Runner is a combination of the best traits from his sire and dam. The Walker horses were a balanced mix of Old Government, Lippitt and a little Mid West breeding. They were strong, sizable, athletic, good minded horses. Sunup Neptune is in the maternal lines and well known for his colour, beauty and for being true to type.

HMSTD Rum Runner is a perlino. A double dilute results when both parents pass on their cream gene to their offspring. In simple terms his a bay with two cream genes. He has been tested at UC Davis and carries both the black and red genes (Ee) and is heterozygous for agouti (Aa). All his progeny will be buckskin, palomino, smoky black or if bred to single dilute mares could be perlino, cremello or smoky cream.

Rum Runner aka Peanut is a well balance stallion with good length of hip, outstanding legs and feet with good hock angulation. Short flat cannon bones with longer forearm and good muscling. He has nice length of neck with smooth laid back shoulders. HMSTD Rum Runner is broad between the eyes, has a small muzzle and a nice wide jowl. Currently standing 15 hands, he has overall good balance and a nice masculine appearance.

Peanut is the epitome of the term laid back, not much rattles him. It is amazing the number of foals this boy has already put on the ground and when we look at the quality and placement of them, it is even more impressive. Rum Runner's greatest worth is not in his colour genetics, it is in his Morgan type and personality. He passes on not only his strong Morgan type but his work ethic as well. He is willing to take on any job given him and put his all into pleasing his teacher.

The get of Rum Runner have overall length of body (laid back shoulder, short back, longer hip) longer neck length and they tend to have early muscle definition. Their heads are pretty and they have good solid minds. Rum Runner's get tend to go towards the western side of things, pleasure, trail, ranch horse. If they were to compete it would likely be in western pleasure, trail, dressage, and hunter pleasure. His offspring have proven themselves to be overall great using horses.

HMSTD Rum Runner has sired 47 foals in Canada, United States and Europe. The breakdown by sex is 23 colts and 24 fillies. Of those 47 foals there are 23 buckskin, 1 silver dapple buckskin, 1 dunskin, 10 palomino, 2 smoky black, 5 perlino, 3 cemello and 2 smoky cream.

The true test of a stallion is in the sale ability of his offspring, another area in which Rum Runner excels. From California to Europe, Rum Runner babies are spanning the globe as moving advertisements for not only Homestead Morgans and HMSTD Rum Runner but for Morgans in general.
