The five Overall Division Award winners for the American Morgan Horse Association's Star Awards were announced Saturday, February 9, in San Antonio, Texas, at the AMHA awards banquet, held in conjunction with its annual convention.

In its first year, the Star Awards is a free program for AMHA members and was created to increase participation at Morgan competitions, to provide an exciting venue for the awards presentation at the AMHA Convention, and to foster good will and sportsmanship. The 18 divisional awards were presented Friday evening as part of the special "Night Under the Stars" event and only those in attendance were able to vote for their favorites for the overall division awards.

Below are the Overall Division Award winners:

• Park Division: Dragonsmeade Onyx, owned by Kim and Kayla Briskey

• Hunter/Western Division: Locutus, owned by Sarah Anderson
