Thank you for your interest in the American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA) and America's premiere breed. The Morgan holds a significant place in early American history, sets the standard for physical characteristics of a quality show horse, and is one of the hardest working breeds under saddle, in the field, or on the trail.

AMHA would like to welcome you to the world of the Morgan horse through our Association's membership. General and Youth memberships begin January 1 of each year and expire December 31. An AMHA membership makes a great gift for the Morgan enthusiast in your family, and offers a series of opportunities for horse lovers young and old.
