2017 Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Championships
Courtesy of the Morgan Dressage Association
As of the publication of the Morgan Dressage Association's October newsletter, most of the Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Championships have been completed and in the books. It has been an exceptional year for Morgans, with more rider and horses partnerships representing our breed and with a significant number at the FEI levels. In fact, Morgans are among the top 20 breeds that participated in the 2016 Great American/USDF Regional Championships.
While not everyone who shows at their respective regional championships take home ribbons, just qualifying for a regional class is an accomplishment, and many of these Morgans placed well in their respective championship classes. Congratulations to these riders and horses that represented our breed so well (italics denotes FEI)!
