The American Morgan Horse Association is continuing its efforts to search for applicants for the 2010 Team Morgan hunter seat competition. This year’s competition will take place November 18-20 at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, and will be against the college’s equestrian team.

Interested applicants should have a desire to serve as an ambassador for the Morgan breed as well as demonstrate horsemastership, character, Morgan knowledge, and writing ability.

The application fee is $50 and selected team members will be required to find sponsorship of at least $350 to help offset expenses. Team members also are responsible for travel and hotel expenses to and from the event.
