$500 To Be Awarded To The Highest Scoring Colorful Morgan Competing At The Oregon Morgan Classic
MHAO has received a donation of $15,000 from the Nancy Falk Trust to be used as follows: $500 per year for 15 years will be used to support the MHAO Youth of the Year program (to a total of $7,500), and $500 per year less award costs (to a total of $7,500) will continue for approximately 14 years to provide a new perpetual award with prize money to the highest scoring color Morgan at the Oregon Morgan Classic. Both will continue until the funds are fully disbursed.
Morgan horses eligible for the colorful Morgan perpetual award shall be registered with the AMHA as a palomino, grey, pinto, buckskin, cremello, or perlino. Variations such as in eye color and/or the presence of a splash gene will not count as a horse of color.
The color award will go to the Morgan horse entered that wins the colorful Morgan high point tabulation for the OMC show. There will be a perpetual award maintained on behalf of the club, a smaller award for the winner to keep plus prize money as previously stated.
Points will be calculated as follows: Five points for first, three for second, and then one point for placing in each class entered. No class will be double counted. If the class is a Championship class, points earned will be doubled. Classes can be of any type.
