Membership Programs - Open High Point Awards
AMHA Morgan Open High Point Awards recognize the highest scoring Morgan in individual open competitions, regardless of the division the horse competes in. Points from classes open to all breeds may count toward this award. To be eligible for the AMHA Morgan Open High Point Award, show organizers must apply to the AMHA prior to the date of the show.
 The AMHA Trail Ride Awards recognize the highest scoring Morgan on approved trail rides, regardless of the division the horse competes in. Approved trail rides include those sanctioned by national trail ride associations (such as AERC, ECTRA and NATRC), or those approved by the American Morgan Horse Association. To be eligible for the AMHA Trail Ride Award, ride organizers must apply to the AMHA prior to the date of the ride.
AMHA Sponsored Awards
AMHA Sponsored Awards are presented annually to the overall high-scoring Morgans for achievement during the competition year in shows or events governed by a participating organization. Current (2006) participating organizations and the awards they present are as follows:
- United States Dressage Federation (USDF All Breed Award)
- United States Eventing Association (USEA Morgan of the Year)
- North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRC High Score Morgan)
- American Endurance Ride Conference (AERC High Mileage Morgan)
The participating organization sets the criteria for eligibility and maintains the records and scores used to determine the placing for the award. The AMHA has a secondary set of eligibility criteria, including a requirement that the horse must be competed under its registered name; must have proof of registration with the AMHA, Canadian Morgan Horse Association, or the British Morgan Horse Society, with the correct owner on file; and both the owner and rider must be AMHA members.
AMHA is very proud of its Morgans competing in open competition and is pleased to assist these participating organizations in the recognition of outstanding Morgan horses.
