The versatile Morgan Horse! We are celebrating this breed as our June Breed of the Month on YourDressage! We recently asked our social media followers to share photos of their favorite Morgans, and we’ve got lots to share! Visit us all through the month of June as we share stories and photo galleries from Morgan owners, breeders, riders, and fans.
Did you know that dressage riders who choose Morgans as their mounts are eligible for special awards through the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards program, as the American Morgan Horse Association is a participating organization?
