Horses tracing back to Justin Morgan, and his three most famous sons--Sherman, Bulrush, and Woodbury helped plow and log New England farms, carried cavalry soldiers and officers through the Civil War, and went west with the pioneers. As times changed, Saddlebred lines were added to the breed in an effort to produce a bigger, more brilliant horse for pleasure riding and the show ring. In the process, the more refined Morgan has lost some of the hardiness and versatility that is the cornerstone of the breed. One of the hallmarks of the Morgan breed is versatility. If he’s a one trick pony, that hurts the breed. A Morgan has got to be able to do it all and do it pretty well. That’s what Justin Morgan was. The prohibition against outcrosses to Saddlebreds means that when looking at the pedigree, no horse foaled after 1930 with a Saddlebred parent is permitted.
