Justin Morgan Had A Horse By Marguerite Henry

The story of a little horse who became a legend — Justin Morgan Had a Horse is a timeless classic from Newbery Award–winning author Marguerite Henry, now available in a beautiful collectible hardcover gift edition.

In 1791, a Vermont schoolmaster named Justin Morgan comes home with a scrappy two-year-old colt called Little Bub, taken as payment for a debt. The colt doesn’t look like much — but when student Joel Goss begins training him, something remarkable unfolds. Word spreads across the entire Northeast about Little Bub’s extraordinary ability to work harder, run faster, and outperform every horse around. The little workhorse who seemed like nothing special would go on to become one of the greatest breeding stallions of all time, founding the entire Morgan horse breed.

This inspiring tale features the original text and illustrations in a gorgeous collectible hardcover edition — a perfect gift for horse lovers of all ages.
