Breeds of Horses
- The Morgan Horse
History
The Morgan Horse is a breed original to the United States. Founded by a single stallion named Justin Morgan, this breed was very popular and widely know. It declined in popularity and was even supervised by the government for a period of time.
Justin Morgan was named after his owner. The horse stood about 14 hands high, was compact, active and virile. It is speculated that his pedigree was probably Thoroughbred, Arabian and a few other elements. Justin Morgan died in 1821, but his characteriestics still persist.
Morgan MaresModern Morgans are about 14.1 hands to 15.2 hands high, from 900 to 1100 punts (400 to 50 kilograms), attractive, stylish, with smooth lines, expressive features and a crested neck. They are an all purpose horse with a leaning toward use in English Pleasure and driving classes although Western styles are still common.
The American Morgan Horse Register was first published in 1894 by Colonel Battell of Middlebury, Vermont, who traced Justin Morgan's descendants and encouraged Morgan breeding. The Morgan Horse Club, later succeeded by the American Morgan Horse Association, was organized in 1909 and took over the Register.
Letters from Readers:
I found your website useful in clearing up a dispute about whether or not draft horses like the shire and clydesdale were part of the Morgan Horse's origins. One teacher at school claims that the Morgan Horse has draft horse blood. I feel that it might be possible for the Morgan Horse's origins to have the light draft variety but not the heavy draft variety. These versitile horses have a very colorful history. Thank you so much for the information you posted on your webpage. Though I don't own a horse of my own in reality, I still learn as much as I can about them. ~ B.
Dear B., Thank you for your nice email. I am glad you found www.huntersponyfarm.com useful to you. Was your dispute settled? ~ Pam Hunter
yes my dispute was settled and now I can continue working on my schoolwork while I learn more about horses. Hopefully after highschool I can pursue a career working with horses but if I find the courses difficult I know I can still have a life around horses. A life without horses to me is like having no life at all. ~ B.
