Famous Morgan Horses in History

The breed's trotting ability made it a favorite for harness racing in the 1840s. Morgans were then used in the Civil War as cavalry mounts, including Sheridan's "Rienz" and Stonewall Jackson's "Little Sorrel". The only survivor (from the US Army) of The Battle of Little Bighorn was the Morgan "Comanche". The breed was later used in the Pony Express. The first volume of the Morgan Horse Register was published in 1894. Since then, more than 132,000 Morgan Horses have been registered. The stud book was closed in 1948 in an effort to preserve the breed. The Morgan has influenced several other breeds, including the Standardbred, Tennessee Walker, American Quarter Horse, and the American Saddlebred. Nearly 90% of Saddlebred horses today have Morgan blood.

Service to Treble's Tanguray

Hi I know this it is already breeding season and many of you already have your stallions chosen for this year. I am no longer breeding and have a service to Treble's Tanguray that I cannot use. I spoke to Carol Fleck and she said it was okay to sell the breeding. I purchased it on the AMHA Stallion auction for $1600. If any one is interested please email me privately at smikate@aol. com or call 480-361-3039.

baby announcement

It was another EARLY baby here at Promised Land Farm. Immortal Blessing ALWAYS foals 5 days early, this time she went 6 early, presenting us with a lovely golden buckskin colt with left hind sock and a few white hairs on his forehead, at 9:42 PM last night. Blessing never even broke a sweat, laid down like she just wanted a nap, went flat on her side, her water broke, and by the time I got to the stall, there were already two feet and a NOSE presented. I took a pic, removed the sac from his nose, and she gave a good push, and SWOOSH, there he was! :0) And he is a STRONG healthy baby at that! He STOOD up on his FIRST attempt, all by himself, no falling into walls, no wobbling around, just one-two three- UP. And that was at 35 minutes old! I think he and his mom had a plan to help me out after Lovies difficult birth and getting baby up and down to be sure he was nursing for six hours after he was born. It was like they said, "Its okay lady. We got this one handled." LOL He stood on his own, nursed with alittle guidence, passed some manure a few times, and was up and down nursing on his own enough, that I was back to the house and in BED by 12:30 AM! HALLELIUAH! WOW, now that the way its supposed to go! :) Proud daddy is SFG Infinity And Beyond. This makes two buckskin fillies and one buckskin colt for this cross. And for this year so far, it gives "Buzz" one palomino filly and one buckskin colt. So here he is PL BAPTIZED IN BRONZE. (no barn name yet) (He is for sale.)

Figure was a stylish bay horse of many talents

Behavior They have changed very little. The Morgan has remained a stylish, spirited mount with conformation that lends itself well to a vast range of disciplines. Morgan versatility is widely recognized. The breed's soundness, power and stamina make it the choice of many driving enthusiasts. Morgans comprise a large number of entries at Combined Driving and Carriage events, and was the first American breed to represent the United States in World Pairs Driving competition. Morgans also excel 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. They are gentle enough for lessons, 4-H and Pony Club involvement, and due to their steady, comfortable gaits, are in great demand as therapeutic riding horses. Morgans are equally well known for their loving, kind dispositions. Those who buy a Morgan often say they have not only purchased a horse, but have welcomed a new family member. Good natured, highly intelligent horse. Smooth action, high pace Origin West Springfield, Massachusetts History In 1789, with the birth of a bay colt named Figure. At one year of age, Figure was given to a Randolph, Vermont, schoolmaster named Justin Morgan in partial payment of a debt. Figure was a stylish bay horse of many talents. He became widely known for his ability to pull stumps and logs while clearing the land of new settlers. In addition, he won races and pulling contests, was a favored parade mount at militia training, and was used as a saddle and driving horse. His strength, endurance, and easy-keeping qualities served him well on the Vermont frontier. Among horsemen he became widely respected for his prepotency (the ability to pass his own looks and qualities on to succeeding generations). Figure was said to be sired by True Briton, a horse widely respected for his excellence and known for siring quality horses. He was said to have been "of the best English blood." Whether it was Thoroughbred blood, blood of another breed (such as the Welsh Cob), or a combination of types remains open to debate. Figure's dam was a mare bred and owned by Justin Morgan (having been sired by a stallion he stood at stud in 1793) and is described as being of the "Wildair breed." As was the custom of the day, Figure became known as the Justin Morgan horse. After the death of Justin Morgan, Figure passed into other hands and spent the balance of his life in Vermont and the Connecticut River Valley of western New Hampshire. He died in 1821 at 32 years of age after sustaining a kick injury from another horse. He left a legacy of sons and daughters who were used by farmers to develop a type of horse well suited to the hilly topography of northern New England. The round and compact bodies of Morgan horses enabled them to "get the best of their feed" and made them suitable to perform a wide variety of tasks. Their large eyes, small ears, and short, broad heads set on gracefully curved necks carried high provided them with a proud countenance. Also blessed with ground-covering gaits, the Morgans were able to cover many miles day after day at steady rate of speed. This ability, combined with a businesslike attitude to get the job done, made them a favorite horse of all work. (In later years, when a taller horse became the vogue, the Morgans would be criticized for their relatively short stature.) Sherman Morgan, Bulrush Morgan, and Woodbury Morgan were Figure's most famous and influential sons. These stallions, along with other unrecorded offspring, came to dominate the horse industry of New England and northern New York. In the 1820's they were favorite teams for the stage lines and for fieldwork on farms and transport to town. Their reputation as "horses of all work" was becoming widespread. Black Hawk, a son of Sherman Morgan; and Hale's Green Mountain Morgan, a grandson of Woodbury Morgan, were the dominate Morgan sires of the mid-19th century. Green Mountain Morgan had a host of admirers gained, in part, from his appearance as a parade horse at militia training. He was also renowned for his resemblance to Figure. Black Hawk was famed for his speed and elegant style and he, in turn, sired the world champion trotter Ethan Allen. In the 1850's these two rival stallions were shown at Midwestern state fairs with great success and heightened the continuing demand for Morgan horses. New England supplied big city markets such as New York with Morgan horses for public transportation and freighting as well as private driving. Morgan horses comprised the preferred teams of stage line owner M. O. Walker of Chicago. They were taken to California to be employed as ranch and harness racing horses. In other areas of the West they were also used as ranch horses. During the Civil War Morgans were dependable cavalry mounts and artillery horses. Again, their easy-keeping qualities and ability to endure grueling condition allowed them to outlast other types of horses. Several units of cavalry in the Union army and one (known) of the Confederate army were mounted on Morgan horses. United States General Philip Sheridan's famed charger Winchester (a.k.a. Rienzi), who was immortalized after the war, was a descendant of Black Hawk. Due to a trend in which taller horses were becoming more desirable with great speed at short distances, the popularity of Morgan horses began a decline, which would not reverse itself for several years. Morgan mares continued to be widely used by horse breeders, but were bred to taller stallions of non-Morgan breeding. The purpose was to capture the enduring qualities of the Morgan but with increased size in the offspring. The result was a more marketable product for farmers selling to the city markets. As a result of this practice the Morgan, as it had been known earlier in the 19th century, almost disappeared. From this type of foundation other American horse breeds were developed. Harness racing had become an exceedingly popular sport for which the Standardbred was developed. Other major American breeds that contain the Morgan horse in their initial development include the American Saddle Horse, Tennessee Walking Horse, American Quarter Horse, and American Albino. Continuing modernization and development of new technologies, however, were affecting the horse market nationwide. Electrification of trolleys and continuing expansion of trains reduced the demand for harness horses significantly. Larger farms and a corresponding increase in the size of agricultural machinery to do the work were creating a demand for larger, heavier draft horses. The 1890's witnessed efforts on the part of many to locate and "regenerate" the Morgan horse. A business horse or roadster was desired with not only speed but with the classiness which would reflect upon one's social standing as well. Writers berated the disappearance of the "ancient" type Morgan and called for its regeneration, if it could be found. Pockets of these Morgans had survived, particularly in northeastern Vermont, though much reduced in number. Many new breeding programs were established. Edwin Hoffman of Lyndon, Vermont became a Morgan horse dealer and assisted many nationwide with locating and purchasing Morgans for their farms. It was at this time the foundation was laid for the highly influential Brunk bloodlines. The National Morgan Horse Breeders Association was formed during the 1893 Colombian Exposition (although it was not destined to last). Joseph Battell published his 1,000 page Morgan Horse Register in 1894. The Vermont State Fair of the 1850's and 1860's had been a popular venue for the showing of Morgan horses. This fair was discontinued in the 1890's when as economic downturn forced it to cease operating. It was revived in 1907 and, within a very few short years, became the national showcase of the Morgan horses. In 1909 the Morgan Horse Club was formed during the fair. Morgan horses from as far as Illinois and Pennsylvania came to participate in a highly competitive atmosphere. It was here that the first endurance rides were held. The Morgan Horse Club created a challenge to prove that the Morgan was the best horse for cavalry purposes. These rides were eventually held at various locations around the United States and were extended to 300 miles in length. These rides were the forerunners of today's competitive trail and endurance rides. By an act of Congress in 1905, a farm to perpetuate the Morgan horse was established. The United States Morgan Horse Farm was established in Weybridge, Vermont, on Joseph Battell's former Bread Loaf Stock Farm. The farm was operated under the auspices of the federal government until 1951, when it was transferred to the University of Vermont, which continues managing the farm today. Again, modern technology interfered, with the advent of the automobile effectively reducing the need for horses. After this time, the primary focus of the horse market would become recreational. With exceptions, of course -- horses used for ranch work and, until the tractor became economically viable, for draft work on farms. In many rural areas horses continued to be a major source of transportation to market, church, and school. Although the need was diminishing, the Army sought remounts for its cavalry with demand peaking during World War I.

Put some GOLD under your tree this year! INCREDIBLE DEALS ON PALOMINOs

Offering ALL THREE of our palomino foals at incredible reduced prices! Which should also help with their transportation costs making the purchase of your dream golden horse, alittle easier on the check book. So take a look at what we have. ALL three are by SFG Infinity And Beyond, our cremello stallion. PL Mi Te Revelation, palomino colt, is very smart, loves attention and looks to want to be an awesome western prospect. He is a lovely mover as well, so he may surprise me and make a nice hunter, but for now, he's pretty laid back. His breeding and conformation is nice enough to stay a stallion, but I am sure he would make someone a fabulous gelding, be it for a pleasure buddy or for show. He has great feet, straight legs, good bone, a nice chest, and depth of body. AND a beautiful head, big eyes, tippy ears, length of neck and a nice hip. There is no mistaking him for a girl! His yearling full sibling is already 14.3. I will sell him to the right home for $3500. For another $400, I would cover all expenses for routine gelding, (BOTH testicles are down!) and his aftercare for up to one month after he is paid in full, to accommodate his transport. PL Amazing Love, this filly is as beautiful as can be. She is "all girl," in both looks and attitude. She doesnt like to be dirty, cant get enough attention, and pretty much will follow me every where if I let her. All I have to do is call her name and she comes running to see what I want! I see her as a fancy hunter or classy western horse, but she could surprise me and end up classic, as she does have enough motion for that and the little added spunk her brother lacks. What a STEAL on this gorgeous, refined, elegant golden girl. She is correct, with good feet and legs, not to mention her big soft eyes, pretty head, and level croup. Her full sibling is 14.3 at a year old. Mazie is priced to sell for $3500. If she does not sell by Jan. 1, her price goes back up to no less than $4500. I like her too much and am willing to keep her a while to get a better price if need be. Besides her WC bred in hand champion mom probably wont be bred back to Buzz for another year or two, so it will be a while before we have another of this cross. PL Divine Design, is a cutie pie. She too is very smart, loves attention and is a very quick learner. Six weeks younger than the other two, you really wouldnt know it by her size or her disposition. If you are looking for a solid built, flashy marked sport or western prospect, this is the filly for you. I think she will shed out darker, possibly closer to a chocolate palomino. And with her snow white mane and tail, blaze, white chin and left socks, you wont miss her. She has a very correct way of going as well, with a wonderful reach to her trot, great feet, alittle more bone than the colt, and depth of body. This filly is a major steal for $3000 out the door, as we need to move one quick. They are dewormed monthly and are up to date on all vaccines including west nile and strangles. And they are stalled, with turn out, they dont live outside and all three have the basics of learning to lunge, have been clipped, body clipped, feet trimmed and taught to tie. So here is your chance to purchase a top quality, beautiful, very correct, intelligent palomino coming yearling, with fabulous tried and true breeding on both sides of their pedigrees. You can check them all out on my sales page on line, then go to their individual pages from there.
