Medal Classes

Are you interested in equitation?

Do you strive to do the best you can?

Excellence in equitation is valued by the American Morgan Horse Association and is recognized through the AMHA Medal Classes, held at local and regional Morgan and all-breed shows. All junior riders who are AMHA members are invited to compete on a Morgan. AMHA Silver Medals are awarded in each of the six seats: Saddle Seat, Western Seat, Hunt Seat on the Flat, Hunt Seat Over Fences, Reining Seat, and Dressage Seat.

Those who place first and second in an AMHA Silver Medal Class are qualified to participate in the Gold Medal Finals at the Grand National. Gold Medals are the highest AMHA equitation honor and are awarded, along with scholarships, in each of the six seats.

Any rider in an AMHA Saddle Seat Medal Class, who places first through fourth, may also qualify for the USEF Saddle Seat Finals held annually at the American Royal in Kansas City, MO. Check out the link for more eligibility requirements.
