Lippitt Lineage Database
Lippitt Lineage is the pedigree and preservation database used by Lippitt Lineage Preservation to support breeder research, relationship review, COI planning, and long-term preservation decisions.
Lippitt Lineage is focused on Lippitt Morgans and their ancestral background. Pedigrees are traced through the recognized Lippitt foundation horses and farther back through the ancestral lines that connect the Lippitt population to Figure, the Justin Morgan horse. This deeper view helps breeders understand how today’s Lippitts connect not only to the foundation horses, but also to the older Morgan ancestry behind them.
The database include pedigree records, breeding tools, searchable information, standing stallions, horses for sale, photos, and other breeder-useful details as they are added and maintained.

Using the Database Tools
Lippitt Lineage includes breeder-useful tools for looking more closely at pedigrees, relationships, COI, offspring records, photos, and searchable horse information. These tools can help breeders compare potential pairings, review ancestry, identify available stallions or horses for sale, and better understand how individual horses fit into the larger Lippitt population.
Because the database is hosted through Allbreed Pedigree, some tools may take a little time to learn. LLP can help approved users understand how to navigate the database, search records, review pedigrees, and use the available breeding tools for preservation-focused planning.
Why LLP Uses a 10-Generation COI
The coefficient of inbreeding, or COI, estimates the probability that a horse inherited matching copies of a gene through ancestors shared by its sire and dam.
The number of generations included matters. A four-generation COI considers only recent shared ancestors and may appear very low even when considerable shared ancestry exists farther back. This is especially important in the Lippitt Morgan, a small population developed from a limited foundation.
LLP uses a 10-generation pedigree COI to provide a consistent and more informative comparison among horses and proposed matings. Ten generations is a practical standard though breeders may choose to examine additional generations, either within the database, up to 13 generation COI, or if they choose to do the math themselves and calculate even further back.
