The Original Morgan Horse

The Morgan is one of the earliest horse breeds developed in the United States.[1] Tracing back to the stallion Figure, later named Justin Morgan after his best-known owner, the breed excels in many disciplines, and is known for its versatility. The Morgan horse is compact and refined in build, with strong limbs, an expressive face, large eyes, well-defined withers, laid back shoulders and a well arched neck and a clean cut head. There is officially one Breed Standard for Morgan type regardless of the discipline or bloodline of the individual horse. This is a tribute to the "old" style Morgan which is more compact and muscular, whereas the "newer" style Morgan is much more refined and flashy. I truely appreciate all the breeders out there supporting and continuing to breed for the original Morgan horse.
