The Lifetime Achievement Award Program (LAAP) is where
Morabs compete against set standards not each other.
The LAAP recognizes any activity that
your Morab participates in for its entire life. Points are recorded toward the
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Miller Hall of Fame, Golddust and Supreme Morab Achievement
levels. There are no time limits for reaching these goals.
The highest level in the
LAAP, The Miller Hall of Fame Award, was established to honor Ilene Miller, and
the dream of her mother, Martha Doyle Fuller of
Clovis, California, who began breeding Morabs in 1955, convinced that the Morab was the very best
breed to compete successfully in the open show circuit. The first Morab horses
ever registered were those bred by Mrs. Fuller.
It was Ilene Miller, who
established the first Morab association and the Morab Registry of America in
1973, thus establishing the Morab breed. The Miller Hall of Fame Award is our
tribute to her dedication and the vision for the Morab breed, and her endless
enthusiasm and commitment to the Morab performance horse.

Morabs in the LAAP compete against set standards not
against each other. There is no time limit for reaching these goals. These
points record all the activities a Morab participates in.
A new IMR Registration certificate will be issued with the
Achievement level shown on it upon the return of the current certificate. (This
is done at no charge.) The special symbols of level are: +BA, ++SA, +++GA, ++++ MHF,
++/GD and ++// SM will become permanent at the end of the Morab’s name.
