Justin Morgan Had a Horse

Justin Morgan Had a Horse by Marguerite Henry

To pay back a debt, a farmer gave two horses. One appeared to be a small runt. A boy remained attached to the horse and worked to tame him while living in Vermont. After a while, it was discovered that the horse was strong and could win hauling contests. Later it raced and was able to beat even New York thoroughbreads. It was a "mut" like Americans and was involved in key points in early American history. Eventually, the boy was able to claim the horse in his last days. The horse was the foundation of the Morgan bread. This is a quick historical novel.
