A Morgan horse can typically carry about 20% of its body weight comfortably. Assuming an average weight of 1,000 pounds for a Morgan horse, a 14.3 hand horse could comfortably carry around 200 pounds. It's important to consider the horse's fitness level, age, and overall health when determining how much weight it can bear.
Morgan horses are known for their versatility rather than their speed. However, they typically have a moderate speed ranging from 25-30 miles per hour, with some individuals possibly reaching higher speeds in exceptional circumstances.
A Shire horse eats a lot, often 15-20 kilos of good hey each day if trained a lot. And do not even think about cutting down on it, and give the horse free amount of hey as far as possible. When speaking of grain you have to be careful, especially when giving it to foals, yearlings and youngsters to avoid them "growing apart". A cold blooded horse like the Shire horse must not grow too fast, nor too slow. If it gets too rich nourishment during the first years growing up, they will get a too big and porous skeleton, which increases the possibilities of loose bone splinters and following health problems. At the same time you have to feed the horse so much that the growth does not restrain, and the horse can develop according to the Shire horse standards. This is why it is necessary to find the balance between the horses' needs and the feed it actually gets. Certain diseases can cause certain needs, and might also be decisive if the horse can function as normal.
The height of the horse doesn't have much bearing on how big the field should be. What counts is the horses health, activity level, lifestyle and the quality of the field. One acre is the bare minimum for one horse that will be grazing in a field, assuming the field is well maintained, if not you need to increase the size. However if the horse is on a restricted diet and is not able to graze then a 100 feet by 60 feet dry-lot set up can and does work just as well as a large field provided the horse has constant access to clean , fresh hay.
Not always. However, they generally sleep standing up, as they can lock their legs to stop them falling over. In the wild this is so that predators are less likely to attack, as the horse looks bigger whilst it is standing rather than laying close to the ground. Though in a lot of cases horses do tend to lay down if they are sick. If a horse has Colic, for example, will cause them to get very bad stomach pains, which makes them want to lay down and roll.

Justin Morgan, a schoolmaster who lived in Vermont in the 1700s, brought a short, stocky colt back from Massachusetts in 1792. This horse was named Figure. He was sired by True Briton and his dam was a mare "of Wildair breeding." Justin Morgan put Figure up for stud at his farm in Vermont. Soon, Figure could out-plow the plow horses, out-trot the trotters, and was overall very versatile. Figure raced against New York bred horses, Sweepstakes and Silvertail, and beat them both in Brookfield, VT on the "Morgan Mile." The Morgan horse was important to Vermont because the breed marked the state throughout the country as the hometown of one of the most well-known, well-liked, and versatile breeds of horse in the country.
