Morgan Horses - Personality

Source: MiSue Farm

The Morgan horse is perfect in various styles of riding. It is free moving and calm under western tack or elegant and aristocratic ridden in English style. A tractable temperament allows the Morgan to excel when driving in single or multiple hitches. This breed is comfortable to ride on a quiet pleasure outing or on an endurance ride. It can also be a sensible partner in ranch work. Also, it is able to enter a show ring and perform in formal riding disciplines.

This breed comprises a large number of entries at Combined Driving and Carriage events. Morgans are good in many other disciplines including Park Saddle and Harness, English and Classic Pleasure Saddle and Driving, Western, Hunter, Jumper, Eventing, Dressage, Reining, Cutting, Endurance, and Competitive Trail. Morgan Horses are rather gentle for riding lessons and can be used as therapeutic riding horses.
