Survival/Food

To survive, a Morgan horse needs to have water which they would get from a bucket, pond, or stream. They also need a good source of energy if they are going to be ridden such as extra high energy food. Barley, maize, oats, or bran are good for working horses. They also eat grass and hay for the winter. Some other things they need are a barn with a stall to keep warm if they need it. They need a clean stall and a good amount of exercise. They also need the company of another horse or human.

Human Impact

Morgan horses are great around people because they were always raced and ridden by humans. Anyway, if they weren't born in captivity they could still be trained to like humans and be ridden. A wild horse will most likely run away from you though.
