This is a book that is dear to the heart of every American horseman, and horsewoman! Justin Morgan was a superb horseman who had a truly marvelous Stallion. JM the horse, was able to carry, pull, drag, or race better than most horses could hope to do. A relatively small horse, JM left his mark by establishing one of the truly great American horse breeds, the Morgan. I loved this book as a child, my daughter loved it, and we eventually found a JM look-alike, Wildfire, who was actually a Morab. Like JM, he was compact, quick, agile, and beautiful. JM was the original sire of the Morgan horse, and all Morgan's are descended from him.

Pros: Great Story!

Cons: none

My daughter showed Morgan Horses at a regional and national level, and we had a Morgan Horse Farm, and at one time had 16 horses. My daughter attended a Equestrian College and this was one of the reads for her Saddle Seat Equitation Class.
Great Book!

Pros: History of the Morgan Horse

Cons: None

I love this book. I too was a horse crazy kid and read this book several times. It is good and easy to read. Any kid interested in horses need to read this book. It is such a heartwarming story.

Pros: interesting

Cons: none

Is it any wonder the only surviver at Custer's Last stand was a Morgan by the name of Commanche?

This book is well written and illustrated and is both a learning experience and an entertaining onefor kids six to sixty. A must have for anyone.

Pros: Educational, heartwarming

Cons: None

This is great book. New readers not only learn something about the foundation of the Morgan Horse but they also learn something about the USA. It can be worked into a homeschooling program very nicely for those with horse crazy kids.

Pros: educational

Cons: just not a popular as it once was
