The Morgan Horse is one of the earliest breeds of horse developed in the United States. All Morgan Horses are descendants of a sire named Figure, who was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts in 1789.
The breed came to be known by the name of the owner, Justin Morgan.
West Springfield's new blue, maroon and gold welcome sign has an oval with a handsome picture of a Morgan Horse in the middle of the slogan:
