IMBA Youth Programs

                                                                      Jericho's Royal Flush with Jake Feder

The Youth Programs are open to any youth 18 years old or younger, age as of January First. The International Morab Breeders Association would like to recognize areas of participation of youth and their Morabs. We also recognize their efforts with Morgans and Arabians as these are our parent breeds and can lead to future ownership of a Morab. These efforts are recognized with the divisions of: Show, Leadline, Recreational/Saddle Log and Creative Arts. (Note: Horses used in the Youth program do not need to be owned by the Youth.) We want to support our youth as they are the future of the Morab breed.

FEES:
Yearly Fee $5.00 per horse/rider combination. This fee covers the Show, Leadline and Recreational/Saddle Log divisions.

Creative Arts Division – No Fee. The areas are: Photography, Artwork and Essay

NOTE: Youth must be a member of IMBA either through a Voting Family Membership ($40.00) or Individual Youth Membership ($10.00) or a Family Youth Membership ($10.00 includes all of the family members under age 18. The parents are not included.)

DEADLINES:
Show, Leadline and Recreational/Saddle Log – Forms must be submitted by December 31st.

Photography, Artwork and Essay – Entries should be mailed by September1st.

FORMS:
For the Show, Leadline and Recreational/Saddle Log divisions an annual Horse/Rider Nomination form must be completed to enter the youth in the program. An activity form must be filled out for the areas of competition with a copy of the prize list or program or official published results and signature of the youth. For Recreational/Saddle log a form must be filled out and signed by the youth.  Only one horse/rider combination per form.  To print off forms Click Here
