We are celebrating the Marvelous Morgan as our April Breed of the Month on YourDressage! We recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite Morgan or Morgan cross, and tell us a little about them, for a chance to be featured on YourDressage! Throughout the month of April, we will also be sharing stories from folks who love this breed.
Dressage riders who choose a member of this versatile breed 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!
