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

Talia BarNoy
"Hello! My name is Natalia BarNoy, I’m 16 years old and have been riding horses off and on for most of my life starting with my Aunt’s miniature horse Flash when I was two. I started showing the summer of 2018 on a sweetheart of a horse named Artie. He got me into my love of Morgans. By the time summer was over, I had outgrown him height wise, and knew it was time to find my perfect match. In March of 2019, my trainer found Laing Hill Atha, a five year old Morgan mare and we knew I had to go to meet her. I knew she was destined to be my partner as soon as I got on. She came home the last week of March and by the first weekend in May we were already showing together. When I’m not working or hanging out with Atha, I am either helping my trainer, working on school work, reading or drawing. I am a high honor student in my school and I take my classes very seriously, but my horse is always my top priority (which sometimes makes my teachers mad haha). I can not wait to see where Atha and my love of horses will take me in life! I look forward to this year being on the Youth council and making more friends who share my passion for Morgans!"
