Morgan horses
art gifts trace their beginning to the establishment of the breed
itself, with a little horse named Figure, born in 1879 and owned by the
school teacher Justin Morgan. The small stallion, later known by his owner's
name, had greatness within him. Known for his beauty, endurance, strength,
soundness and brilliance at any task, his fame grew. While most breeds
develop by breeding horses of similar characteristics to each other, Justin
Morgan's ability to pass his characteristics to his offspring for
generations to come allowed this single stallion to found an entire breed in
his likeness. and today every Morgan traces back to him, through his
best-known sons Bulrush, Sherman and Woodbury.
