Identity
The Missouri Valley Morgan Horse Club membership is made up of Morgan horse enthusiasts from
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and other states across the country.
Purpose & Objectives
The purpose of the Club is to foster the enjoyment, use and knowledge of the Morgan Horse. The Club
will dispense educational material, sponsor and promote equestrian activities such as clinics, seminars,
trail rides, and competitive events, and encourage others to do likewise.
Membership
There are three classes of membership: Family, Individual, and Youth. Dues are $30, $25, and $10
respectively and are good from November 1 through October 31. Membership entitles you to all of the
fun activities described herein, as well as the work involved in putting on these activities. Great
emphasis is put on our youth membership, in helping them develop as horsepersons and to know the
Morgan intimately, not only for competitive purposes, but also for enjoyment of the breed. The same
could be said for activities for our adults! Join us today !!! Download membership form here !!!

Meetings
Meetings are held three times per year. The annual meeting is in late October. The New Year meeting
is in early January. The Mid-Year meeting is in May during the MVMHC Classic Horse Show.
Events
Club events include the MVMHC Classic Horse Show, which is held in Ord, Nebraska. This is a
schooling show with emphasis on youth participation, though it is competitive for adults as well. We
also have a breed demonstration at the Nebraska Horse Expo in March, and we participate in the Morgan
breed show at the Nebraska State Fair. Other events also happen from time to time.
Newsletters
Our newsletters are the primary means of communication among us and include all the news that’s fit to
print. We keep up with events, with how our youth are doing, and list the activities of our various
members. Classified ads are free for members and quarter, half, and full page ads are also available.
The Morgan Messenger keeps us up to date and informed about the family that we are.
Annual Directory
The Annual Directory is published yearly. Information regarding officers, events, bylaws, and more are
included and paid members as of November 1 are able to list their horses and those for sale, lease, etc.
Bloodlines are included in the horse listings, so this becomes a primary resource for breedings between
the horses of club members. Full and half page ads are included in the directory.
Youth Club
Our youth club is part of the American Morgan Horse Association Youth (AMHAY). We offer club
meetings, the Horsemastership Program, and the youth club participates in the club show in May. We
also have a Youth of the Year Contest and Youth High Point award. |
