Win a Morgan!

AMHA’s “Team Morgan” is conducting an essay contest to promote the Morgan horse to equine-minded youth across the country and to raise funds for Team Morgan to travel to and host international equitation competitions. Copper Beech Morgans has graciously and generously offered the grand prize, a Morgan horse!

The contest is open to any youth 21 years of age or younger interested in owning a Morgan horse. Each contestant will submit a completed application packet, an essay, plus a signature form affirming the youth is able to care for the horse. Three finalists from each specified section of the country will be selected and notified to submit a DVD/video of themselves answering three interview questions. The cost of the application is $100. References will be contacted for each of the finalists. Winners will be expected to submit annual letters to the Youth Council detailing the progress of his or her horse. Winners also are responsible for transportation of the horse from the sponsor’s location to their home.
