Origins<\/h3>\n
While we know it originated from Justin Morgan and his amazing horse, the ancestry of Morgan horses beyond that is a mystery. Although it is speculated that there is Thoroughbred<\/a> blood while others claim his sire was a Fresian<\/a> Stallion. A third theory speculates that he is a blend of Welsh Cob<\/a>, Thoroughbred<\/a> and Arabian<\/a>.<\/p>\n A small, thick dark bay, Figure was two years old in 1793 in West Springfield, Massachusetts. His owner found that this tough little horse could run faster and pull more than any of the local horses. By 1891 this hardy, adaptable little horse had made a name for himself and a studbook was created for his offspring. <\/p>\n Average height 14.1-15.2 hands Head has broad forehead with straight or slightly concave profile All coat<\/a> and eye colors can be registered.<\/p>\n Athletic Show horse *All links open in a new window<\/small> Colorful Morgans<\/a>Features<\/h3>\n
