    Morgan Horse History and Origins:
    The Morgan horse was one of the first horse breeds to be developed in the United States. The founding stallion of the breed was a horse named Figure, owned by Vermont schoolteacher Justin Morgan in the late 1700s. No one knows for certain what Figure’s pedigree was, but it's generally accepted that it was the offspring of horses with Arabian, thoroughbred, and perhaps Welsh cob or Friesian bloodlines.
    Figure was a compact horse, standing at only around 14 hands (56 inches) tall. But the stallion developed a reputation for his athleticism and pleasant disposition. As people of New England heard of Figure’s ability to out-pull and out-distance many other horses, it became a desirable stallion for breeding.
    Figure passed his traits to his offspring, and the breed eventually was named after his owner. Over time, the Morgan became the ultimate all-purpose horse, equally at home in harness, under saddle, on the race track, or at work in fields. It also contributed to the bloodlines of other horse breeds, including the Canadian, saddlebred, Tennessee walking horse, American Standardbred, and American quarter horse.
    The American Morgan Horse Association was established in 1909 to serve as a breed registry.
    Morgan Horse Size:
    Smaller than many other full-size horse breeds, Morgan horses average from 14 hands (56 inches) to 15 hands (60 inches) tall. There is no strict standard regarding size, so horses may be shorter or taller. Morgans tend to weigh between 900 and 1,000 pounds.
    Morgan Horse Breeding and Uses:
    As seen with the stallion Figure, the Morgan horse was bred for its athletic prowess, versatility, and cooperative nature. Since its beginning, the Morgan has been an all-purpose horse with a long resume of abilities and applications. Before industrialization changed the landscape of agriculture and transportation, the Morgan was valued as much for plowing the fields as it was for pulling the family buggy.
    Morgans were used as trotting horses on the race track and cavalry mounts in wartime. They also were hitched to wagons or ridden by pioneers who were traveling to the American West. Today, Morgans can be found competing in almost every equestrian sport. Morgan horse shows often feature sidesaddle classes, trotting races under saddle, driving classes, dressage, jumping, and more-all showcasing the outstanding versatility of the breed.
    Colors and Markings:
    Morgans come in all equine colors. They are usually dark, solid colors, such as bay, black, and chestnut. However, some breeders specialize in producing Morgans with palomino, pinto, gray, dun, roan, and another less common coloring. There is no official breed standard for this aspect of the Morgan's appearance.
    Unique Characteristics of the Morgan Horse:
    The Morgan's strong, compact body and refined features, as well as its regal posture, are all distinctive breed traits. Proud and alert, these horses tend to carry their heads and tails higher than many other breeds.
    But the quality that truly defines the Morgan is its temperament. This friendly horse is typically quite eager to please its handlers and even enjoys meeting strangers. Although it can be animated and spunky, it’s still very affectionate and known for its loyalty.
