In the 19th-century the Morgan made an impact on American history. Both sides of the American Civil War used the breed for cavalry and later on became part of every day life being used as coach horses, harness racing, farm work, and general riding. The breed has influenced other American breeds i.e., the American Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Tennessee Walker, and the Hackney. The Morgan breed is dependable and consistent in its original characteristics.
