The Horse That Does It All
The true beauty of the Morgan lies in its ability to transition effortlessly between disciplines. Our members can be found executing high-level dressage tests in the morning and enjoying a relaxed pleasure ride through the bush in the afternoon. Beyond the arena, they drive in harness, work cattle, jump, and excel in endurance events. This versatility is powered by their renowned stamina and intelligence, yet balanced by a docile temperament that makes them safe for the whole family. Whether you are a competitive rider or simply enjoy the company of a horse, the Morgan is the ultimate willing partner for both sport and leisure.
After working regularly on several Morgan studs around the country and having them show up regularly at my clinics I developed a respect for this breed. I have found them to be versatile, trainable, hardy, good doing horses that show great movement and enthusiasm for their work. Self-carriage comes naturally to Morgan horses and stamina is also a hallmark that stands out. All in all they are a great breed of horse for anyone wanting an all-rounder.

I can see why Eitan (of Cowboy Dressage fame) really likes Morgans. I enjoy working them because they are so trainable and are built to move the way that I like a horse to move; engaging its hindquarters and elevating its forehand.
