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. Applicants must be at least 14 years of age and members of AMHA in good standing. Riders who have competed in two Team Morgan events are ineligible. 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.
