I know that they are very well tempered and have very smooth gaits.
Here's what I wrote about Morgans for our FB page:
Five Reasons for Making Your Next Horse a Morgan
Frugality. Morgans are amazingly hardy, easy-keeping horses. Quality low-sugar hay, supplemented lightly for vitamins, minerals, and protein, and decent pasturage is all most Morgans need in their diet, and as small 800-900 lb. horses, at quantities generally less than a bigger, heavier horse. Most Foxwin Morgans have excellent feet and require minimal farrier work and shoeing only as necessary in heavy-use disciplines. Additionally, all Foxwin Morgans like variety in training and take well to multiple disciplines-- making one horse your everything horse. Smaller trailers, smaller stalls, smaller blankets, less feed, less bedding-- it all adds up to an economical, reliable choice.
Size. Shorter at the shoulder than many of the popular sport-horse breeds, Foxwin Morgans are easier to groom, tack, mount, and take an unplanned dismount from than some of the big guys! When leading out to pasture, or into the show ring, most adults can actually see over the shoulder of a Morgan to determine whether she's eyeballing a loose, rabid coyote, or just a horse-eating paper sack blowing in the wind-- this is handy information. Their short stature makes them less intimidating to young riders of all ages, though their extreme sturdiness will handle a larger rider, and their depth of body takes up a great deal of leg in a taller rider. Foxwin Morgans are just the right size in every direction!
Energy. The breed sire, Justin Morgan himself, was famous for winning trotting races at the end of a long day of clearing logs from the Vermont hillsides. His sons carried on that tradition, and the ceaseless energy and game determination of a Morgan continues to this day. Tireless, curious, dedicated, and eager to work, Morgans bring to the competitive disciplines a go-getter game unmatched in other ponies of their size. Competitive trail, eventing, foxhunting, driving-- anything you can do to keep your Morgan busy all weekend will be met with “yeah, what else you got?” by any Foxwin Morgan worth the name!
Intelligence. Here's what separates the serious horseman, and potential Morgan owner, from the average bear. Foxwin Morgans are smarter than your honor student, and they'll take every opportunity to prove it. You'd better bring your A-game every time you work with a Morgan, or they'll quickly size you up as either not worth their time, or worse, a lesser intellect, deserving of ridicule and scorn. They'll make you earn their respect every time, and if you're not as quick as they are on any given day, they'll have the better of you. They refuse to suffer fools, and if you're foolish, they'll make you suffer.
Personality. Foxwin Morgans have a devilish sense of humor, and huge, huge hearts. The combination makes for a horse it's impossible not fall in love with, laugh at, be aggravated by, and enjoy every minute with. Clownish in play, diligent in work, loyal to their people, brave on their behalf, and diving in to every day with a “c'mon, let's GO!” attitude, Morgans are irresistible. A breed born and fostered in the small, family farms of New England, these horses live intimately with their people and form forever bonds with the people lucky enough to know them.
Sex Appeal. C'mon, admit it, Foxwin Morgans are cute as buttons. With their perky little ears, stout little bodies, alert wide eyes, and proud, prancy stride, these cute little buggers couldn't be more attractive. Full, flowing manes for those who like that sort of thing, and muscular, strong physiques means these small horses have got it going on in the looks department. They know it, and they know how to use it. Anyone standing next to a Foxwin Morgan is instantly 58% more attractive; sitting in the saddle sends that figure to well over 87%.
Now, not every Morgan is a Foxwin Morgan, but every Foxwin Morgan is all this.
I own and love a Morgan, he is intelligent, willing, sensitive and versatile. I can use him on the trail or drive him and I showed at OKC Nat'ls this year and placed in the Top Ten in Worlds and Naitonals in Hunter Pleasure and Road Hack. This was my first time. I have been taking formal lessons for 2 years now and never had about 7 months of schooling lessons. I worked at a riding academy as a youth, they had one Morgan.
The best thing about the Morgans is that they are versatile and are beautiful to boot! I owned a Paso Fino before and though they are beautiful and fine footed and have brio., their gaits do limit them in some ways. I have ridden Tennessee Walkers, Thoroughbreds, Percherons, Friesians and Quarter Horses., so the Morgan had to be pretty special for me to buy one.
