AMHA TEAMS PROGRAM
The AMHA Teams Program is made possible in part by funding received by the United States Equestrian Federation. USEF has provided funding for the program that will go toward end of year awards.
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.

AMHA YOUTH MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Erin Robinson
"My name is Erin Robinson and I live in Middleboro, MA. I started riding and showing horses at around seven years old. The first Morgan I showed with was Best of Both Worlds with Roger Brown and Vicki Worth. There, I Showed in hunt seat walk-trot classes with Stonecroft Love Potion. When I began showing, I also started competing in the Youth of the Year Contests at shows, which I still do today. When I was ten I got my first horse Highover the Gambler, however, I did not show him with that barn. In 2016 I moved to Legacy Stables with mike and Liz Murphy, where I still ride and show. I began showing Gambler in western seat walk-jog classes. That same year I decided I had, had enough of walk-trot so I moved up to the junior division. In 2017 I decided to try equitation and realized I would need a new horse so I sold Gambler and bought my current horse Hylee's Zerelda James. I have been showing her since and we have done quite well together. We won the Western Pleasure Youth Class unanimously at New England Morgan Horse Show in 2019 and she has taken me to Oklahoma twice."
