Few horse breeds can trace back to a single foundation sire, but every Morgan today can trace its lineage back to a horse named Figure, a hardy stallion who was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts in 1789. Figure passed on his looks, conformation, athleticism, and temperament to his offspring, which would eventually become the Morgan breed. Today there are four main bloodlines of Morgans, the Brunk, Government, Lippitt, and Western Working "families." The Lippitt family is thought to be the most pure family, but the Government family is the largest, and traces back to Morgans bred by the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm between 1905 and 1951. Purchased by the University of Vermont when government involvement ended, this farm is still in operation today.
