This wonderful and rare find of The Western Horseman from November 1950 was just made available for purchase and of course I just had to get it!\u00a0 (If you recognize that picture it is a rendition of the Justin Morgan horse by George Ford Morris and I will definitely be talking about this again soon.)\u00a0 If you know me, you know that I am extremely vested in saving the Morgan Horse from extinction.\u00a0 I help to preserve Foundation Morgan Horses.\u00a0 This is not just a cause, but an extreme passion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Most Morgan Horse lovers might know a bit about the history of the Morgan Horse.\u00a0 This magazine details some of the dealings that occurred in the late 1800s and early 1900s.\u00a0 It focuses on Dick Sellman and the fact that he recognized that Morgan breeders needed to preserve the Morgan Horse.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As all magazines have done for… well, forever… the story is split up throughout it and I’ve tried to put the articles in order instead of putting the pages in a specific order.\u00a0 Although we now refer to these horses as Foundation Morgan Horses,\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The last part of the article is at the top of the page.\u00a0 It talks about the fact that Morgan Horses are no longer found in only one part of the country.\u00a0 They are all over!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My horses are considered Western Working Morgan Horses, but we refer to them as Foundation Morgan Horses, Traditional Morgan Horses, “Old-Style” Morgan Horses, and a few more that may come about.\u00a0 I say “we” because there are at least a couple of us trying to help preserve the Morgan Horse breed!\u00a0 In the coming months, you’ll get to see some of what is going on at MY house, and I will try to post information about other Foundation Morgan Horse breeders that I am directly involved with and let everyone get a glimpse of how we are working hard to help save Foundation Morgan Horses!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
