What is a Sport Morgan?
A Sport Morgan is an allrounder that can do it all. He has the mind and the intelligence for diversity. He is willing to learn and learns quickly. He is most willing to please and that is true for the Morgan in general. But, not like the show Morgan that is bred for knee action the sport Morgan reaches out of his shoulder and has a long stride covering ground. He has a height between 150-160 cm and therefore competes in Europe against Warm bloods which can be difficult. But he has the stamina and the quiet mind that can make him to be a family horse as well as an amateur competition horse.
Most Morgan's in Europe are being used in Western style of riding or simply on trails but they are able to do so much more than that, and even keep up in a World cup Marathon like in the singles the US team did with Nancy Johnson and her horse Robo. These are only some great qualities of the sport Morgan.
If you are interested to know more about a Morgan like that please feel free to contact us and we can provide you with more information or even help you to find a horse of your dreams through giving you the right contacts. We are a very small breeding family in Europe and most breeders own only a few horses. That is why we try to help each other to promote the Morgan here in Europe. I do believe that there is great potential for the sport Morgan especially in driving competition or even in long distance endurance. And imagine you are competing with a horse that has all these qualities and even more, a special color, you will surely be looked at.
