Domesticated by humans since prehistoric times, the horse is truly a "Beast of Burden." Horses have been used in Vermont for centuries to work the fields and help harvest maple syrup. The Morgan is still utilized for that purpose today. Vermont horse-shows and equine events feature thoroughbreds and trained horseback riders. This page is dedicated to the horse, the horse lover, and every breed of equine, especially the Morgan horse, of course!
