AMHA Announces 2017 Club Contest Results
For the third year in a row, the Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club has been awarded as the AMHA Club of the Year! The announcement was made at the AMHA Awards Luncheon, which took place as part of the AMHA Annual Convention, on February 17 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Clubs from across the country competed in the Club of the Year contest and were judged on their yearbooks, which chronicle the club's activities throughout the year in eight separate categories. A prize of $600 will be awarded to the winning club for their achievement. Earning second-place honors for the second year in a row plus a prize of $400 is the Arizona Morgan Horse Association. Taking third place was the Ozark Morgan Horse Club.
Club newsletters continue to play an important role in keeping members informed of activities, meetings, news, and more. The newsletter contest is divided into two categories: local clubs and national organizations. The entries are judged in five areas, including graphic design and quality, educational content, club activity coverage, and general excellence.
In the local club newsletter contest, the Missouri Valley Morgan Horse Club led the way and took top honors.
Among the National Organizations entries, the Cornerstone Morgan Horse Club earned first place honors with The Lippitt Club taking second.
Congratulations to these clubs!
