He was small, a runt in the young America that needed ox-like horses to plow and pull carts and farm the new land.But Little Bub quickly proved that size and breed weren't everything. He was smart as a fox, able to pull more than his weight, and could work harder and run faster than all of the other horses. He was even quicker than the thoroughbreds!This is a true story about a simple horse who through pure spirit rose to greatness. His descendants would become the Morgan horses, a line renowned throughout the world.
