My Morgan and Me
Congratulations to Avery Minor on completing Level 2 (150 hours) of the My Morgan & Me program!
AMHA TEAMS PROGRAM

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.

The AMHA Teams Program is made possible in part by funding received by US Equestrian. USEF has provided funding for the program that will go towards end of the year awards.
