One interesting fact about Morgan horses is that they are considered to be the oldest American breed of riding horse.
Their history can be traced back over 300 years when settlers brought small horses with them from Europe. The Morgans were also used for farming and other utilitarian purposes during this time period.
Today Morgans are primarily ridden for pleasure and are known for their gentle, willing dispositions. They are also considered to be good all-around horses, meaning that they are versatile enough to perform well in a variety of disciplines such as trail riding, show jumping, and dressage.
