As a Pathways member you are one of the breed's best representatives, promoting the Morgans suitability for any job, be it work or play. In Pathways, you are recognized for the time you spend riding or driving your Morgan. You and 80 percent of Morgan owners report that they ride and drive their Morgans for sheer pleasure. This program was designed for people just like you!

Plaudits for Pathways

Pathways is a great way to get yourself out enjoying your Morgans.-Carole Mercer, Oregon

My 15 year old gelding was retired from the show ring by his previous owners, and now he's my PLEASURE horse. He had never been used on trails or on the road, and he's taking to all these new things beautifully, like a MORGAN.-Judith Mijares, New York

I am so pleased with your Pathways Program! For me, the lure of the horse is listening and learning. It is about growing and daring. It is about my mare and I becoming more of a team than we are individuals.Our learning is mostly solitary, done in the woods and on the back roads. Show ring honors and ribbons have little place in our world. Your Pathways badges and log sheets help me hold on to varied and wonderful memories of the hours my horse and I have shared. Thank you! Helen M.Allard, Vermont
