Deane C. Davis Award

 

This award was created in 1990 by Marilyn Childs and Ruth Towne in honor of Deane C. Davis. The criteria for this award is as follows:

The Deane C. Davis Memorial Award is awarded for dedication to the Morgan Horse. The person must have at least 30 years associated with the Morgan breed as an owner, breeder or contributor to the Morgan cause. All employees of AMHA, AMHI, The Morgan Horse Magazine, as well as professional trainers are ineligible.
