The origin of the Morgan breed dates back to the stallion s ³ ± color or dark chestnuts named Figure who was born n in Springfield, Massachusetts, in the year ± o 1789. The origin of Figure is not clear and while some think that the son of a Thoroughbred Ingla © s name True Briton, others speculate that in its descent traÃa blood of many races, including Canadian Pacer, Norfolk Trotter, Cob and even Frisa ³ n .

As Figure foal passes into the hands of ³ Justin Morgan, a school teacher in Vermont that He received in payment of a debt. Over time, worked at the neighboring farms, plowing the fields and dragging logs. But when ripe it was found a very special horse of many talents: Figure was able to beat the Thoroughbred in racing, but also © n podÃa drag heavy loads than other draft horses podÃan not move, and the ability tenÃa more jogging rà s request that the majority of horses trotting coupling of à © Little.

His reputation extended ³ n quickly and soon the New Englanders were crossing their mares with Figure, which eventually passes ³ to know the name of its owner: Justin Morgan or simply Morgan.

There is now a movement to preserve the lines old (foundation lines) that maintains the original type of the breed represented in the horse Figure, this due to the popularity of the junction with the Saddlebred, which have contributed to the creation No other within the same race.

Morgan, as we know it day, is a breed mostly Trot ... what few people know is that there were a few lines à © Morgan ambladores or pasoâ € â € OEDE as strong and important as those of Trot . These lines, though less common these days directed, even exist and are preserved by some breeders aware of the importance of historic and rich genetic © tica.Recordemos that the origin of this breed comes from the crossing of the horse Figure and their offspring with mares of different breeds and characteristics. Recall also © n, the Morgan breed has been used in the development of breeds such as the Saddlebred ambladoras chair and Tennessee Walker (among others). It is therefore natural ambladoras lines arising within the same race.

This is a very important for us as it is possible that blood has some influence in the line of Morgan Sweet dreams ± o. Some, like Ruiz Cestero Gaztambide Arrillaga and think that the influence venÃa to trava © s of the maternal line, while others, like Osiris Delgado, suggest that the line debÃa be paternal. Whether one or the other, it is important to recognize that the Morgan influence, if any in our race, must come from ambladoras lines rather than trot.

Not all Icelandics are 5 steps, you run many sa ³ 4 and even, there are some that are not ambladores and can only run three air bath musicians. But the goal of every breeder is to produce horses that can run the 5 steps caracterÃsticos.

The TÃ ¶ lt, which also © n is known as Rack, is a four-stroke air isa ³ timesheets where the horse reaches speeds that can range from 5 to 25 mph. The Flying Pace is a two-stage lateral step (similar to the path) where the horse can reach 35 miles per hour.

Another important detail about this race, and that has helped keep it pure, are government restrictions Iceland © SA The import of horses to the island: all Importation of horses to Iceland is prohibited, so so I a horse Icelandic it leaves the island to compete or be a pimp on the outside, can not re-enter. Originally servÃan restrictions to prevent diseases from other races would endanger the native race, but in turn, served to keep the race free from the influence of foreign blood.
