Chris, Thank you so much for the time
spent and the education on the Morgan.., I think I know which direction we will
head in.., I believe it was a Morgan they were using at the medieval fair and
giving children rides, of course my Goddaughter was in line several times until
she rode each one twice. It required us to mount from a picnic table and of
course she had to have her Godmother go with her, other then walking funny when
we dismounted because of their width, it was an experience she still talks about
and she has rode many a horse. I will visit your site and start saving now. Thank you again. Dj From:

[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of pennbo@verizon.net LOL Well, that's partially right! The Morgan breed standard is
actually 14'1" to 15'1"- with individuals over and under that.
Morgans do tend to be very solid and big bodied which makes them look bigger
then they are. Then there is the Morgan sense of self- ask any of them and
they'll tell you they are biggest horses in the world! As to gentle- yes, part
of the what makes the breed adored by their fans is that they are very bonded
to their people and thus very gentle when required. They can put on a show with
the best of them but then in the next instant walk on eggshells with a baby on
their back. Once they love they give their hearts forever. Generally they are
smart enough to know what is needed when. There are exceptions to every rule of
course! My main MSAR gelding was a successful show horse, can really lift his
hocks, flag his tail- and move out, does his SAR work with a passion, and
totally melts if there are babies around. I mean marshmallow horse! They could
do anything to him and he'd never move a muscle! Thank you Chris.., I have a Goddaughter and I purchased her a mare
a couple years ago but the mare is a pony and 18 now and very stuck in her
way.., which does not give good safety for my 5 year old Goddaughter…, I
realize a Morgan is a very large animal but I’ve always noticed they are more
gentle.., is this true? |
