Description
Excerpt from Morgan Horses: A Premium Essay on the Origin, History, and Characteristics of This Remarkable American Breed of Horses; Tracing the Pedigree From the Original Justin Morgan, Through the Most Noted of His Progeny, Down to the Present Time
If size is, as is claimed by some, the measure of power, it will be found that form is the measure of action. Too much size is, indeed, incompatible with rapid and long-continued action.
The most casual observer of a good Morgan horse, is conscious that he sees a peculiar animal. His short, light, rapid step, point to the great muscles which give him motion. His prominent, clear, eager eyes, set wide apart, testify to his courage and docility while his clean, light head, carried high, with short, pointed, sensitive ears, gives grace and elegance to every motion.
