Golden Horseshoe Geoart #49_Breeds #10 Mystery Cache

The first documented American Breed, it's origins can be traced back to a single foundation sire, a stallion named Figure, who was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts in 1789. In 1792, he was given to a man as a debt payment. The horse later came to be identified by the name of this particular owner, and it evolved into the name of the breed. Figure was known for his prepotency, passing on his distinctive looks, conformation, temperament, and athleticism. In 1821, Figure was kicked by another horse and later died of his injuries. He was buried in Tunbridge, Vermont. This breed has served many roles in 19th-century American history, being used as coach horses and for harness racing, as general riding animals, and as cavalry horses during the American Civil War on both sides of the conflict.
