What Makes a Morgan Horse So Special?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Everyone has their favorite breed of horse, but there has always been something different about the Morgan breed. From the time of the old founding stallion Figure (Justin Morgan), discriminating horsemen have looked to the Morgan breed to establish new breeds, improve grade livestock and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the favored breed to take our soldiers off to war. So I sent out a message on the internet. "What is it that makes a Morgan Horse so special?
The answers came flooding back to me from across the United States and as far away as Switzerland, via pictures and comments. Here are the answers they gave.
I don't have enough room to individually thank every person who submitted photos and comments but you should all stand up and give yourselves a big round of applause!
My deepest Thanks to all!!!

This is beautiful! I'm so glad my sister and I along with our wonderful Morgans could be a part of this!
A Morgan is perfection in horse form.
i've never been around morgans. is it true what they say? are they calm, and gentle. i've only been around quarter horses. and some of them (even the geldings) were pretty scary.
Ken Hall I would say the average Morgan Horse is perhaps a bit "hotter" than the average Q.H. (I hate to use the word "hot", I do not use it to imply silly or unruly, just more reactive). That said, I feel they are intuitive, and seek a connection with their person more than some other horses. If treated fairly they enjoy their job, and will give you all they have, a great work ethic. Many have said that they are the little horse with the big heart. They are an intelligent breed, a thinking horse that needs a thinking owner, we have 4 Morgan Horses, for many years we had 9, but 5 have passed on. I wouldn't consider another breed for our family horses.
Ken Hall If you read the comments below, you can see that so many are enthralled with the breed. It is hard to find the words to adequately describe them. My favorite comment on here is "This just made me cry cause I love my Morgan so much"
@@kenwithaK I don't know quarter horses well. Obviously it depends on the horse and the training more than anyone. I rode a morgan for like a year he was on lease. If you had ridden for like a year or two i would say you would be ok to ride one. It's not like you would have to be miss horsemaster king 2000 to ride one at all but they are naturally very forward horses even if out in the field everyday. They move like Arabs but not as spooky. They are calm. But BIG movers and they want to be in front. Every little movement from you means a BIG movement from them. They are really really smooooth. They carry their tails high like an Arab does and have high heads.They just have a lot of presence. Like its the first horse you see in a group ..its the first to come up and say hello.
I just traded for a morgan. Traded a dang good bred out the butt mare for him. I was told he was a quarter that knows barrels. Got him home figured out he was a morgan and haven't looked back. Once you've gave them your all they'll give you 110% more back. He's like my sweet sweet racking mare. 2 horses I couldn't stand to live without!
Very nice! There is no more beautiful or special animal in the world than the gorgeous Morgan horse - I feel so lucky to have some!
I have a very beautiful morgan mare I love morgan's
thank you so much for responding :)
My parents bought me a Morgan gelding horse when I was 11 but it was too much horse for me I went to riding school when I was 20 years old English Hunter jumpers and dressage riding lessons when I came home and rode horses for people but I had a son when I was 38 he's 24 now I sold my horse when I had my son and then I was going to get another one but my son hated horses so I just now starting to get back into it well actually I got back into it last year my friend has horses in her backyard a Gypsy banner and a thoroughbred anyways can't wait to talk to you in person
This made e cry
I Love my A M A Z I N G Morgan Mare Eve
norgans are definetly speacial horses. no doubt about it.
The prettiest horse I've ever seen was a Morgan/Peruvian Paso mare. She was really dark bay with some white and moved like a dream walking. Such a pretty little thing. Beautiful temperament. When I was little, all the mounted police rode Morgans and they were very kid friendly--Both the cops and the horses. They would pick the kids up and sit them on the saddles. I was ecstatic when that would happen, as we were city kids and the cops would patrol the city parks on their mounts. My mom took me to the mounted police stables one time when we were downtown shopping.
My trainer recently moved me onto my current horse that I use in my equestrian lessons, and his name is Wilson. He is a Morgan and despite his age (He is eleven if you are wondering), he is quite green. From the time I met Wilson, it was love at first sight. He is so smart and intelligent, and I could never imagine riding any other horse except for him. I have been doing equestrian for eleven years, and I have never felt more connected with a horse ever in my entire life. I love my Morgan, and when I get the chance someday to own a horse of my very own, I think I will choose a Morgan.

I've been riding a Morgan for 6 years and I think he's my soul mate. I go the extra mile for him he'll go the extra 2 for me. I love him and he loves me.
When I was a child I rode a Morgan. I'm 73 and still remember him fondly. He really made a tremendous impression on me.
i was named after the breed
Morgan horses are the best horses! I have seven of them now two stallions, 4 mares, and 1 gelding! They all have so much personality and are great for any sport! Morgans are my favorite breed
I’ve hade two ❤️. A beautiful, amazing mare that I knew for over twenty years, I had the great honour to be her owner for ten of those and she gave me the greatest gift: a foal. He’s 3 years old now 🥰.
Morgans are the best! My family has been breeding & raising them for over 100yrs :)
If my mother wasn’t allergic, I would so ask for one of these cuties.
My name is morgan😄😄😄😄
I love morgan and my Joey is morgan. He is the most amazing horse. I'm so lucky to be with him.
My morgans drive where I want to go as well as carries me.
Thoroughly enjoyed the compilation - the music was perfect! and the compilation so well done. I was sitting back, enjoying the beautiful photos and then saw me & Pip! I am just thrilled our photo is part of this beautiful tribute to the Morgan Horse. Heather (Canada)
being Lebanese I dearly love Arabians... But as soon as I saw a Morgan I fell in love!
I have a very, very special place in my heart for them... So handsome and such beautiful heads.. Oh my! ❤💪❤
Been owned and loved by purebred/registered Morgan horses since 1988. Susan's Chelsea is my soul mate: VHSA state champion Morgan mare, Justin Morgan Standard conformation champion, Western Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure, Saddle Seat and over fences champion; primo driving horse, lesson horse, trail horse, parade/exhibition horse, and the love of my life. Chelsea is coming 28 years old and still gorgeous and full of herself. Visit us on FaceBook: facebook.com/OldstyleMorgans?fref=ts
I miss the sweet horsey smell of my Morgans when I'd kiss the side of their muzzle.
Each had its own unique smell.
I grew up with Morgans, and when I see this video, it brings tears to my eyes. I have loved every single one that I have ever met.
I had a tabiano pinto morgan he could do anything and always wanted to. From trails jumping western to dressage. We went into retirement at 32 still going strong but needed little kids only riding him. Followed me around like a dog
this makes me want a morgan soooo bad! but sadly i dont live on a farm so thats probly not gonna happen anytime soon... but if i were to get one, i would name him/her Bumblebee! cause Bumblebee is my foal in the star stable horses app and hes brown, i think hes gonna be my race horse once i get him onto the game Star Stable Online!
I have a morgan and she is so special to me ive had her for a long time and she is the best in the world and my friend thinks morgans suck so we raced and i won so then she started to ride morgans and now she loves them
Morgans make awesome horses for therapy programs, police departments, competitive trail riding and driving, ranch working, and most anything else an active family can think of. They always seem to be willing and eager to try whatever we want to throw at them. One of my favorite things is that I can take any of my Morgans out and dust them off after months or even years, and hop on as if I just rode or drove them yesterday :) Truly one of America's best kept "secrets" !
All the reasons I love my Morgans..
This just made me cry because I love my Morgan so much
Sorry, I meant to add, the name of the music site is Audio Network.
the Morgan come from the Canadian horse ,
It's called "Heading Home" and you can find several lengths and versions of it on a stock production music site. All of the music in the video came from there.
i have a morgan and i love him
If only saddlebreds were happy to work...
Morgans are the best breed ♥ I have an awesome two year old named Dolly Too. SHE'S THE BEST HORSE I'VE EVER MET ♥
what song did you use in the very beginning?
What Makes A Morgan So Special?

Great job!!!! Very nice. Morgans capture the soul's imagination.
I love horses so much and morgans are my fav❤️
my name is morgan hehe
awh!
I miss my morgan gelding, he was bred by my mom, he was the sweetest horse ever! He had such a big personality it's like he thought he was a person!
I got goosebumps... I will love them forever.
I want a morgan
I can not give enough praise to the Morgan! I started riding when I was nine and by a stroke of luck I went to a Morgan barn for lessons. I have stayed there ever since and have found that Morgans are the greatest horses ever and are my life now. The first time I competed in the Youth of the Year at a Morgan Horse Show the speech topic was how have Morgans changed your life. I couldnt fit every thing in that I wanted to because the speech had to be under 5 min. I LOVE Morgans and always will!!!
beautiful shots of a breed that has a love of life bred into their core. a morgan will always live life 110%. no wonder they have become an lovely addiction to "their" humans!
I love this, It totally fits my boy Indigo. You nailed the breed, they are so sweet and even tempered but are curious and always want to be involved. The best breed ever. I trust him with my little brother who hardly has any riding experience and I would trust him with my grandma. This video fits him to a T.
Great job, awesome video.
Hopefully that is her only bad trait. If I had a horse that took an hour to catch I wouldn't have her around. Hopefully you are joking about that.
I would loved to have had one but they cost more than I could ever afford, so I have used quarter horses the last 45 years.
Thank you to everyone who contributed such diverse and lovely photos of this nothing short of magnificent breed. These fitting tributes always make me tear up. Bless their lovely horsey souls. Warm regards y'all, JW & Oldstyle Morgans (Susans Chelsea, Oldstyle Sport, & Ragtime Angelique). Visit us on Facebook!
What an absolutely wonderful video!! Thank you Theresa and all those who helped by sending photos & info that allowed her to put this beautiful tribute together! I will watch it over and over again! I am sooo very fortunate to have two of these magnificent horses own me!! Thank you so much!
Beautiful Video =)
Whats the music in the Video?
Morgan horses are the best!
Awesome Video! Well done!
OMG this so made me cry!
ohh
I own 3 morgans and two quarters
I would say quarters, I rode one my first few years of riding
Your Welcome, I hope it helped :)
@Layla please show us your Morgans.
i have a Morgan she's 3 years old almost 4 she's not trained yet but my mom said that we should sell her and my sister said if we train her can we keep her? and my mom said we have to promise that we would train her then we can keep her. her name is Cleo she has the most beautiful canter I've ever see! has really long legs and jumps so well she is very fast too!! so she would be a good show horse. me and my sister thought that if we train her we can sell her because we already have horses of our own and she would be left alone in the field if we go riding and she's not that good in the field alone. and i'm afraid she will escape from her field. i'm sad about it but i just don't want her to be lonely :(
Malik Martin wow aren't you the nicest thing ever!!
+Malik Martin Sir your manners are FAR WORSE. I can only guess at your reason to bully and insult this person. Please leave us now.
