Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club
The Morgan horse originated in 1789 when a bay colt named Figure was born. Figure became known by his owner’s name, as “Justin Morgan’s horse,”, or just “Justin Morgan.” Figure lived in the rocky landscape of New England where he plowed and pulled stone boats for his daily grain and pulled the family carriage to church in style on Sundays. Figure’s ability to out-trot, outrun and outpull other horses in the popular contests of the day became legendary. New England farmers, who recognized Figure’s unique ability to pass on his look and abilities, intensively crossed his descendants to obtain horses of the “Morgan type.”
Morgans are generally around 15 hands and are usually bay, black, or chestnut, but they come in a full spectrum of other colors including palominos, cremes, buckskins, silver dapples, and greys. They have short backs and an upright carriage with a gracefully arching neck. They are known to be people- friendly, smart, willing, long-lived and sound, with good legs and great feet. Morgans compete at the highest level in carriage and pleasure driving, combined driving, long distance races, English and Western pleasure disciplines, dressage, and sport disciplines. What is unique to the breed is that those same incredible athletes and competitors are also backyard horses for their owners and truly members of the family. Morgans truly do it all!
The Morgans of the Midwest Horse Fair are proudly brought to you by the Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club. The Wisconsin Morgan Horse club was founded in 1976 to promote America’s first recognized breed of horse, the Morgan Horse. The WMHC has been voted the national “Club of the Year” numerous times by the American Morgan Horse Association in recognition of their activities to promote the Morgan breed.
