Morgan horses can excel in open competition, here’s an example
August 2009: Suzy Stafford has just won the bronze medal World Combined Pony Driving Championship in the UK with the Morgan mare, Courage to Lead. She was in silver position after the dressage, maintained silver after marathon, but dropped to bronze after the cones. The USA team took 4th place.
Courage to Lead was foaled in 1997, the mare is by Courage of Equinox out of Hartland Sable, who is by Hartland Revelation. I think it is interesting that she was shown in halter as a yearling, in pleasure driving as a two-year old, and then was pretty successful at western pleasure as a four-year old. She was bought by her present owner, Beverly Lesher, at the end of her four-year-old year.
Menomin has several fine driving horses for sale. All are driven both in the ring and on the local dirt roads and through hazards.
