Morgan horses must be registered to show in a Morgan class. The American Morgan Horse is one of the oldest and most versatile horse breeds developed in the United States. It traces its roots back to a single foundation sire named Figure, who was born in 1789. Figure, a sturdy bay colt of unknown parentage, was owned by Justin Morgan, a teacher and horseman from Vermont. The breed takes its name from this influential owner.
