The Oregon Morgan Classic 2025

Join Us In Celebrating The Show's 23rd Year

An American Legacy - The Morgan Horse

From The MHAO President

As many of you know, our signature event, The Oregon Morgan Classic, is rapidly approaching and final plans are being put in place. The show will be held once again at the Oregon Horse Center in Eugene, OR and will start on June 18th and continue thru Saturday, June 21st.   This show attracts exhibitors not only from Oregon but from Washington and California and attracts spectators from the Pacific Northwest.

 

This event is not only an opportunity for you to come see some beautiful horses, but to also meet and talk to people who share one thing in common with you..the love of our Morgan horse. The Morgan community has always been a welcoming family and our love for the breed has always been the common bond between those who have an interest in showing and those who simply enjoy their horses in other “arenas”. Regardless, we love our Morgans and we love to talk about them.

As you can imagine, putting on this show takes a lot of time, dedication, planning and great effort. Our show chair, Karen Breckenridge, spends a great amount of time paying attention to the details and making sure that a quality show is put on and is representative of the Morgan Horse Association of Oregon. No doubt her hard work will be on full display and we will have an excellent show! During the show, we will have events such as a pizza dinner, a chicken dinner and other interactive activities for all to participate in. One of our special events that we have during the show is a silent auction filled with many donated items. You may find anything from wine offerings to paintings to experiences being offered in the auction. A portion of the proceeds goes to fund our programs as well as youth scholarships that the club offers.

 

To be able to put on this show, we rely on the generosity of sponsors and benefactors of the show. The more successful the show is, the more funds we have to pass on to the membership in programs and other offerings throughout the year. To help offset the cost of the show, we do offer sponsorship opportunities on both the corporate and individual levels. If you are interested in being a sponsor, please see our sponsorship packages and contact Karen Breckenridge. We are all in this together.

 

I would like to invite you all to come to Eugene, see some very pretty horses and enjoy your Morgan family. I would love to meet you and hear from you as to what you would like the club to do for you! Come find me, lets talk and lets enjoy the Morgan horse!
