The American Morgan Horse Association has announced that the following AMHA members received honors at its Annual Awards Luncheon, which took place Saturday, February 17, 2018, in Lexington, Kentucky, as part of the association's annual convention.

A Master's Certificate is given to individuals older than 60 years of age who have been active with Morgan horses in a variety of ways through the years. Recognized clubs nominate members based on their involvement in breeding, showing, training, and just generally enjoying their Morgan horses.

Five AMHA members received a 2017 AMHA Master's Certificate: 

• Lynn Robertson, Missouri Valley Morgan Horse Club
• Judy Dorr and David Vose, Maine Morgan Horse Club
• Brenda Varney and Joan Travers, New England Morgan Horse Club

The AMHA Club Promoter Award recognizes club members who are diligent supporters of the breed, working hard to bring the Morgan into public arenas. Recipients actively promote the breed at fairs, parades, open barns, equine expos, and other activities.

• From the Maine Morgan Horse Club: Emily Hawkins, Janine Hawkins, Angela Thayer
• New England Morgan Horse Association: Judy Candage and Mike Travers
