]V/f ORGAN HORSES are generally chestnut, brown, 

 -*■ ■*■ bay, or black, and extensive white marks are not 

 common. A little under 15 hands is the average height, 

 with the average weight around 1,000 pounds; but, as in 

 all breeds, considerable variation is to be found, some very 

 attractive individuals weighing rather more than 1,200 

 pounds. 



This breed has always been noted for smooth lines, good 

 style, easy keeping qualities, endurance, and docility — the 

 latter, however, not being obtained at a sacrifice of ambition 

 or courage. 



Small ears, full eyes with great width between them, 

 crested necks, well-sprung ribs with the last one close to 

 the point of the hip, deep barrels, fairly level croups, full 

 quarters, and enduring legs and feet are the qualities that 

 have made Morgan horses famous for a century.
