Today's Breed and Discipline spotlight is on the Morgan represented at by Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club.

The Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club (WMHC) was founded in early 1978 and continues today as the state organization for the promotion of America’s first recognized breed of horse, the Morgan. The WMHC has been voted the national “Club of the Year” numerous times by the American Morgan Horse Association in recognition of their activities to promote the Morgan breed and also for their outreach through the annual Club Directory, monthly newsletter, web site and page.

The WMHC embraces both amateurs and professionals as well as all disciplines that our horses and members participate in. These activities range from the annual Midwest Horse Fair; breeding/training registered Morgans; trail and distance riding; English disciplines (pleasure & park riding and driving; hunt seat and traditional dressage); Western disciplines (pleasure, cutting, reining, barrels, western dressage) and, most recently, working equitation.

Morgans are noted for their people-loving nature, intelligence, physical versatility, good health & soundness. These are all traits passed on from the founding sire of the breed, “Justin Morgan”. The only American breed of horse to be bred by the U.S. government, as part of the U.S. Cavalry “re-mount” program, Morgan horse blood can also be found in the background of a number of newer American breeds of horses including the Quarter Horse, Tennessee Walking Horse and Standardbred.

Come see this beautiful breed for yourself in Pavilion Two at the 2025 Midwest Horse Fair- April 11-13, 2025 at the Alliant Energy Center, Madison, Wisconsin!
