AMHA YOUTH MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Grace Martin
Meet Grace Martin! She is 17 years old and lives in Washington. Her idea of a perfect day is any day that she can be at the barn; and loves nothing more than to spend all day with horses. She especially loves to show her special boys Relato Del Toro (Classic Pleasure) and Alltitude (English Pleasure.) She's also super excited to start riding her Saddlebred mare, A Wrinkle In Time. She has had such an amazing experience being involved with Morgans since she was four, and has been on the youth council for the past two years. She loves sharing her passion for horses and connecting with, inspiring, and being inspired by other young riders.
