Meet the Morgan
- Written by The Carolinas Equestrian
When looking into the Morgan breed, it’s clear from the start why so many people gravitate towards the breed - beauty, companionship, and usability. Descriptions of the horse include “easy keepers,” “reliable,” “loyal’’ and in this age of having a horse that can do it all – “versatile.” They are a breed looking to interact with their people, interested in what’s happening around them and ready to tackle life. Owners often tell how their Morgan chose them, not the other way around. As the American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA) states “the Morgan is known for his great qualities: intelligence, willingness, thriftiness and good sense.
Tucker Tweed Equestrian
- Written by Jill Tweedy
I suspect my road to horses is similar to many others … I was four years old when one of my father’s fraternity brothers invited us to his farm. I rode a Quarter Horse named ‘Katy’ that day and the obsession for all things horses began. Lessons started afterwards, followed by showing school horses and friend’s horses. Eventually, my parents relented to my constant begging and purchased my first horse, ‘Fairfax County’. Showing hunters, jumpers and eventually foxhunting filled my days. To say I was raised in a barn was a joy-filled truth.
