∙ 15y agoIf you read the book "Justin Morgan Had A Horse" by Marguerite Henry you will get most the story however that book is realistic fiction so not all of it's true. In short the Morgan horse got their name from Justin Morgan who owned a little stallion of unknown bloodlines who was bred to many mares for his great strength,speed, and endurance. Since Justin Morgan owned the stallion the breed was named after him.
