Modern Morgans are roughly broken down into 2 different types. There is the 'show' variety bred mainly to exhibit traits and movement that are desired in the show arena. The other is considered more 'foundation' bred. These horses are closer to what the breed began as.
Morgans are compact, sturdy horses with good bone and strong hooves. Their most common colors are bay and black but can come in other colors. They have strong shoulders with a good angle, thick powerful neck, large expressive eyes, and the foundation horses have easy-going temperments. Their strong front-ends make for excellent carriage horses and they can pull heavy loads for their smaller size.
The show-bred variety have a high knee action, well-engaged hocks, and fiery temperments that serve them well in the show ring. In this breed the judges look for the "spark" and fire in these horses.
