Show The Horse Corral r. sweet-tempere- ' There are probably very few people who have not, at ;one time or another, seen ' v' the Walt Disney film "Justin ; Morgan Had a Horse." Cer-'tainly, in most respects, it is .t-true story. Although his remains obscure, j breeding his feats in I and every horse he was pitted out-trottin- g against are indisputable truth. Indeed, the little horse . Figure, later to be named Justin Morgan, was perhaps J one of the most remarkable horses ever to live. dis- j Modern authorities agree over Justin Morgan's foaling date, but 1789 is given as one date, although it J may have been a year or so later. There is no proof of his ancestry. There are a few J scraps of evidence that might prove his sire was True Briton, a Thoroughbred. His dam may have been sired by Diamond, a Thoroughbred 1 sired by Sportsman. One fact ' lends credence to this. Justin Morgan was a bay who sired ' predominately bay horses. Since bay is a recessive color, there had to be many bay horses in his ancestry to stamp the color so strongly in him. But, whatever his breeding, he was like no other in appearance. His amazing prepotency (ability to stamp his get with his own image and abilities) has never been duplicated in any other breed. It can be said that he founded a breed of distinctive horses that have ;' changed little in the nearly ; two centuries since his birth. Justin Morgan was a small ; horse, about 14 hands. His mane and tail were thick and heavy. He had an excellent ears head with small, fine-se- t carried alertly. He had large, expressive eyes and a fine, ' firm muzzle. Long, level croup, deep, oblique shoul-- ' der, strong, heavily muscled ' loin, and deep, wide chest made him strong, lithe, and ; powerful. Born into austere Vermont where men worked from sun-uto dark to eke out a bare living and expected their horses to do the same, Justin Morgan earned every meager mouthful of food. For nearly 30 years he worked at heavy ." p farm work, logging, plowing, clearing heavy timberland. In the winter of 1821, over 30 years old, the little horse died, not from the ravages of time, abuse, and labor, but from a kick dealt him by another horse. He had earned a warm stall and a good blanket to cover his tired bones many times over, but even at the end he was expected to earn what poor feed he could steal from other horses. Present day Morgans differ remarkably little from their mighty progenitor. His in 3 sel to 11900 S. 1300 W., Riverton. Contact Linda Ovard, 1515 E. 13200 S., Draper, 84020.
