YOUR INFORMATION STATION FOR COLOR IN THE MORGAN BREED
Welcome to the Morgan Colors website! We've seen a lot of "color history" being made
in our breed over the years, and this website is a way to share that
information, all in one place. We welcome everyone to join our
Facebook
discussion group, where you will see lots of pictures of beautiful Morgans of all colors, and keep up to date on the latest happenings in the world of Morgans.
Although most people are aware that the Morgan
Horse can be bay, brown, chestnut and black, they may not know that Morgans can be
more colorful! On these pages you will see that there are
silver dapple, roan, palomino, buckskin, dun, grulla, cremello, perlino, smoky
cream, gray, flaxen, sabino, splash, and other rare colorful Morgans!
In the menu above are links to pages of pictures of Morgans in each of the various colors and modifiers present in our breed.
Educational information about the genetics of each color, as well as a list of
bloodline sources for them, can also be found on each page.
Inspired by
the
American Morgan Horse Historical Photo Archive, we present a "colorful" version
here
for those who wish to trace the color lines in their horse's pedigrees. Be sure
and check the
links page for websites of colorful Morgan
breeders as well as other educational
sites about Morgans and the colors they come in.
The core
of this site's information was taken from my 2005 AMHA Convention presentation
on Morgan Color and History. I had many requests to put
this information on a CD, book or website, so here it
is!
I hope you find Morgan Colors useful as a reference and research tool.
Suggestions are welcome. Check back for regular updates!
