In the 1700's a special horse named Figure was owned by a poor Vermont singing teacher named Justin Morgan.  He was the only person that had a breed named after him. The Morgan horse has strong legs and an arched neck.  They are also all around pleasure horses.  This small strong horse has a thick flowing mane.  Usually Morgans have a dark body.  Also Morgans have pulled plows, dragged logs, won races, pulled buggies, and carried their owners on their backs for miles.  Now there are over thirty thousand registered Morgan horses.
