From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Morab horse is a saddle type horse originally created by cross breeding Arabian and Morgan breed horses. There is also some evidence that these horses contain American Quarter Horse blood as well. This breed was developed around the early 1800s. The Publisher William Hearst first coined the name Morab and the first registry was started in 1976. One of the most famous Morabs was a stallion named Golddust who was both a flat-footed walker and a trotting horse. He had the reputation of being unbeatable in the showring and the racetrack and he beat a horse named Iron Duke, in 1861, for the enormous sum of $10,000. He was killed in the Civil war, but before that he sired 302 foals. Today over 100 Morab horses can be traced back to Golddust.
