Vermont Morgan Heritage Days
September 27-29, 2024
Addison County Fairgrounds, Vergennes, VT
The Vermont Morgan Horse Association is pleased to continue its annual tradition of celebrating the versatility of America’s original breed of horse—the Morgan Horse—during Vermont Morgan Heritage Days Horse Show. For over 150 years, Vermont fairs have celebrated this unique and hardy horse, representing the rugged land in which it developed. The tradition continues at Heritage Days, September 27-29 at the Addison County Fairgrounds, Vergennes, VT.
This show has been in continuous operation for over 40 years and features an open dressage show affiliated with the Champlain Schooling Series, in-hand classes, an open junior-amateur horse show, races, an open carriage driving show, and one of the only Justin Morgan Performance competitions known to take place in the country.
A picturesque infield, old-time grandstand, half-mile track, and gorgeous setting in the Green Mountains make Heritage Days the place to be when Morgans gather to compete and race. The event is open to the public; all are invited to join us for this fun-filled event.
This three-day extravaganza is packed with events designed to showcase the beauty and versatility of our beautiful MORGAN HORSE. There is something for all ages and all disciplines!
