AMHA TEAMS PROGRAM
The AMHA Youth Teams program is an annual competition designed to facilitate teamwork throughout barns and horse friends, while helping to educate and familiarize youth with the Morgan horse.
The Program is based on an accumulation of points within your “team” throughout the competition year. It recognizes Morgan youth at all levels of horsemanship. Points will be earned performing many different tasks relating to the Morgan horse from all aspects, from home at the barn, to horse shows, to their commitment to AMHA youth programs such as Youth Contests and the AMHA Youth Council.
Youth of the Year Contests!

AMHA YOUTH MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Kendall Pierce
‌
Kendall is 16 years old and is a sophomore at Pelham High School in Pelham New Hampshire. She has been riding and showing western pleasure and equitation on her horse "Jits Amadeus" since she was about 6 years old. Over the winter, she started working with her new horse Stonecroft Sequel aka "Sunny" a 4 year old English Pleasure horse. Although she loves her Morgan show horses, she also loves to compete at her local High School Equestrian Team shows. There, she shows 2'3 jumpers on a Morgan named "John Boy". When she is not showing horses,
she loves to help out at her barn CPM Stables with lessons, horse camp, regular barn chores, and loves to go on trail rides with her friends. In her free time, other hobbies she enjoys include: photography, drawing, and painting although all of those hobbies somehow relate back to horses whether it's taking pictures of horses or drawing them. She's so excited to continue her journey with horses and even more excited to continue working with such an amazing group of horseman on the AMHA Youth Council, learning more and getting a chance to meet some amazing people.
