Foundation Morgan Horse -
Foundation Morgans are the old type, classic style Morgan
horses which were prized during the mid 1800's to early 1900's and still highly valued by
dedicated breeders and admirers today. Foundation Morgans
exhibit strong characteristics distinguishable from most modern day Morgans by their
compact, close ribbed bodies, substance of bone, deep well-rounded quarters, oblique
shoulders, broad forehead with soft kind eye and short ears, medium length neck nicely
crested...all described as baroque in type. These old bloodlines are those that make very
versatile animals and their intelligence and sensible dispositions make for an all around
excellent family horse as well as a serious contender in any discipline. Beginning
in the 1930's, crossing Morgans with Saddlebreds was quite fashionable due to the
popularity of the Saddlebred and the prestige they brought in the show ring. This practice
resulted in Morgans which were less and less of classic Morgan type. Approximately 64% of
the Morgans today have numerous outcrosses to the modern Saddlebred. The
"foundation" Morgan bloodlines have NO modern Saddlebred outcrosses after 1930
and their male tail sireline must trace directly to Justin Morgan. More information
here. Our mission is to preserve and promote the Foundation Morgan so that
we may continue to enjoy the original traits and characteristics that made this breed so
special and unique.
