AMHA YOUTH OF THE YEAR

Every year, the Morgan Masterpiece hosts an AMHA Youth of the Year contest, which is designed to recognize hard working youth who are well versed in horsemanship skills, regardless if they own a horse or even plan to show at the Morgan Masterpiece. This is a great opportunity for ANY youth crazy about horses!
Youth of the Year consist of four parts, each worth about 250 points:
Contestants who win the Senior division or who score over 800 points in the Senior division at any locally held contests will have the opportunity to travel to Oklahoma City to compete in the AMHA Youth of the Year contest at the Grand National & World Championship Morgan Horse Show! 2025 SPEECH TOPIC AND PATTERNS Patterns are to be completed and videoed at home.
