HD Harkness

Earlier this week we announced the return of the striking hunter mare Danash’s Northern Tempest! Today’s reveal is another fan favorite and an excellent representative of his breed! We are excited to welcome back HD Harkness, a beautiful pleasure driving Morgan, for the first time since BreyerFest 2023: Driving Forward.

Poster boy for the “Carriage Pleasure Driving” page of the American Morgan Horse Association’s website, HD Harkness is no stranger from the spotlight. The handsome bay Morgan gelding has made quite the name for himself as an ambassador for Carriage Pleasure Driving. “Hark,” as he is known to his friends, embodies all the fabulous qualities of the Morgan breed that make them so popular for driving. Loyalty, athleticism, ease of training, and trustworthiness have all been apparent traits in Hark, even from a young age.

Purchased as a two-year-old by Mary Chris Foxworthy with a unanimous vote of “yes” from friends and family, Hark started his driving journey. With his famous “look at me” attitude, HD Harkness has picked up multiple wins from countless shows in Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, and Kentucky and has won the attention and admiration of spectators.

Even at 27 years old, Hark is still showcasing how incredible the Morgan breed is with his stylish Phaeton carriage behind him.  He still participates in local shows and attends many expos and events as a guest of honor. 2025 will be a special year for Hark and owner Mary Chris as they celebrate their century drive together! A century drive is when both the horse’s age and the owner’s age combined add up to 100 years old or more! Hark is gearing up to be back at BreyerFest and see his many adoring fans, and maybe even sneak in a few peppermints.
