I’m excited to share with all of you that I’m running for an At-Large director position on the American Morgan Horse Association Board of Directors!
My very first combined training event - back when it was still the USCTA - was with a Morgan. I was nine years old. My first USDF show was on a Morgan; I was eleven years old. Pull on boots, a helmet with an awkward tan harness. When I scraped some money together to buy my first horse as an adult, of course it was a Morgan. To me, Morgan Horses have always been my partners, my friends, my family…the horses that chose me, and in turn have defined much of my life. They have made me who I am in so many ways.
And absolutely nothing has changed in the decades since. The thing about Morgans is that they give you all of themselves, and I have always felt the need to give all of myself right back to them. From taking the plunge to begin a breeding program, to promoting the breed through open sport competition, horse expos, and youth outreach through Youth of the Year contests and USPC, service on the Virginia-Carolinas Morgan Horse Club Board of Directors and the AMHA Disciplines Committee, I hope to have contributed. I always feel as though there is more to do.
When the At-Large positions appeared on the ballot last fall, it seemed clear that it was the next opportunity to serve our wonderful breed, and maybe give back a fraction of what Morgans have given to me. I know together, we can continue to evolve our breed and move forward, share them with more people, and support our community…we are as versatile as our horses themselves.
I’d appreciate your support to get on the ballot, and for that I need signatures of current AMHA members. I would love to chat with you about my hopes to help our breed if I am able to join the BoD, and all things Morgan! Drop me a DM, text me, or feel free to email me!
