AMHA YOUTH OF THE YEAR SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD WINNER Emilia Saint Loup

"Hi my name is Emilia Saint Loup! Currently, I am 17 years old and live at my mom’s equine facility, Horsefeathers, where she is the trainer and works with primarily Morgan horses and other breeds too! I’ve been riding forever but haven’t gotten into Morgan horses since my mom opened up Horsefeathers in 2012 and I’ve been helping with training, care, and instructing under her guidance. She also has her own rescue organization, MorganSafenet, and I’ve helped with a lot of the horses that come here through that program too! I own two of my very own Morgan geldings that I compete with in jumping, dressage and hunter pleasure and equitation."

AMHA Merit Program is proud to announce the New and Improved.. MERIT PROGRAM The AMHA Youth Committee has been working hard to improve and renovate all 5 levels of the Merit Program. Check them out here!

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. Find out more about the Teams Program Here!
