"The Morgan Horse is a uniquely American breed developed in New England. Justin Morgan was a teacher and businessman who lived in Vermont. He bought a bay colt born in 1789 and called him Figure. After some time, Figure became better known as Justin Morgan's horse and the prolific bay stallion became the founding sire of what evolved into the Morgan breed. A Morgan Horse is distinctive for its stamina and vigor, personality and eagerness and strong natural way of moving. They excel as show horses and pleasure horses and are popular driving horses as well." www.breyerhorses.com.
Later in 2022, this model was sold with the book "Justin Morgan Had a Horse" by Marguerite Henry as set #964BKSET. "This new horse and book set features Marguerite Henry's book entitled Justin Morgan Had a Horse paired along with our beautiful Freedom Series Bright Bay Morgan model. Joel Goss knows that Little Bub is a special colt, even though he's a runt. And when schoolteacher Justin Morgan asks Joel to break the colt in, Joel is thrilled! Soon word about Little Bub has spread throughout the entire Northeast - this spirited colt can pull heavier loads than a pair of oxen. And run faster than thoroughbreds! This is the story of the little runt who became the father of the world-famous breed of American horses - the Morgan." www.breyerhorses.com.
On the 2022 Retired List, but both sets still available on the website for 2023.
