With deep disappointment, the Connecticut Morgan Horse Association (CMHA) has decided not to offer carriage and dressage in its traditional format for the 2021 edition of the show.  Although this was a difficult decision, we are excited to welcome carriage drivers to participate in our first Parade of the Carriages to showcase the Morgan Horse's versatility.  We look forward to providing our carriage and dressage exhibitors with a new and innovative experience for the 2022 edition of the Connecticut Morgan Open Horse Show that will better highlight the Morgan breed, its versatility, and history.

Additionally, CMHA is exploring ways to engage with working horse exhibitors throughout the year.  If you would like to get involved in planning our carriage or dressage events, please feel free to contact us.

It is with deep disappointment that the Connecticut Morgan Horse Association (CMHA) has announced the cancellation of the 60th Anniversary Connecticut Morgan Open Horse Show scheduled for June 3-6, 2020. We believe that given the current circumstances this decision is in the best interest of our exhibitors, trainers, vendors, and spectators.

In the upcoming weeks, CMHA will be exploring alternative events to help celebrate our 60th anniversary. Please visit us on Facebook to stay updated on upcoming events.

The well-being and health of the entire community is of the utmost importance during this period. CMHA encourages all of those involved to follow local, state, and national guidelines. The Connecticut Morgan Horse Association eagerly awaits the celebration of its 60th anniversary of the show in 2021. Please plan to join us June 2-5, 2021!
