On Saturday and Sunday, August 10-11, the Missouri Valley Morgan Horse Club will host the second Central Region Morgan Show at the indoor Lancaster Event Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, now in the larger Amy Countryman arena with connected warm-up and top-notch lighting for photos. The all-Morgan show is American Morgan Horse Association Star Rated and USEF Competition Lite, and has annoucned that Dwayne Knowles of Broadmoor is judge for this year's event.

Year Two ushers back old-fashioned Midwestern horse show fun with Morgan friends and family. All Morgan youth riders are invited to come a day early to compete in Friday afternoon’s AMHA Youth of the Year Contest for a chance to qualify for the national contest in Oklahoma City. Then attendees may celebrate by munching on corn dogs and funnel cakes while the kids ride the Ferris wheel and tilt-a-whirl. The onsite Lancaster County Super Fair will be open Friday and Saturday evenings for traditional fair fun.

“We are looking forward to building on the success of our inaugural show last year and welcome all Morgan owners, trainers, and riders to the center of the country,” says Jennifer Rawlinson, volunteer show manager.

The prize list and youth contest details will soon be posted on the club website. For questions, contact Jennifer Rawlinson at jcrawlinson@windstream.net or call/text (402) 560-3319.
