Three County Fairgrounds

Show Manager: John Lampropolous - Show Secretary: Pam Turner

Steeped in tradition and guided by a deep respect for the Morgan horse, the New England Morgan Horse Show stands as one of the region’s most enduring celebrations of the breed. For generations, it has served as a gathering place for horsemen and women who value history, horsemanship, and the timeless qualities that define the Morgan.

The show’s legacy is built on excellence in the ring and camaraderie beyond it—where classic divisions, accomplished competitors, and promising young horses come together in an atmosphere that honors both past and present. Each class reflects a commitment to tradition, thoughtful stewardship of the breed, and the enduring standards that have shaped Morgan competition for decades.

More than a horse show, the New England Morgan Horse Show is a living expression of heritage. It is a place where stories are passed down, friendships are renewed, and the future of the Morgan horse is shaped with care, pride, and purpose.

Our Mission

To encourage the raising of the Morgan breed of horses, including the improvement of the breed; to carry on educational activities with respect to the breeding, care and training of horses; and in connection with the foregoing to conduct horse shows for exhibition of Morgan horses.
