Florida Morgan Horse Association

Morgan horses must be registered with the American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA).

The owner of the horse must be a current member of the FMHA. For equitation and amateur rider/driver divisions, the exhibitor must be a current member of the FMHA.

The owner/exhibitor must have FMHA membership dues paid by February 1st of the award year in order to count towards high point awards. All shows prior to this date will count provided the membership dues are paid on time. If the owner/exhibitor joins after this date, only the remainder of the year will count towards the high point awards.

Points are calculated as follows:

Qualifying classes:
     Place:   lst    2nd  3rd   4th
     Points:    5       3      2      1

Championship classes:
     Place:   lst    2nd  3rd   4th
     Points:  10       6      4      2

NEW!!! Points earned at Citrus Cup:
The Citrus Cup regional Horse Show points will now count double for the year end rewards

The horse/exhibitor must show in a division at least twice to be counted for High Point.

Points will transfer to the new owner when a horse is sold to another FMHA member.

High Point Awards are presented at the FMHA Annual Banquet. Awards are given to the champions. Ribbons are given to the champions and reserve champions.
