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.

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

Delaney Beard

"Hi, I’m Delaney Beard. I am 15 years old and I am in the western region. I was with the breed since I was born and started riding at the age of 1. I’ve always loved the breed and what they offer. I ride Hillwood Irish Hooligan aka Hoolie. We compete in Hunter Pleasure, Equitation, youth, AMHA Hunter Seat Medal, Showmanship and Youth of the Year. I have shown in Youth of the Year at every show and in 2018 I placed in Youth of the Year at Morgan Grand National. I love being on the Youth Council and can’t wait to see where it goes!"
