Club History

Founded in 1968, by just a few dedicated Morgan Horse enthusiasts, the OMHC started with a single one day show that has grown into multiple events throughout the year. We are a friendly, FUN, family oriented group of Morgan owners that number over 100 members from all over the province.

The OMHC is an affiliated club of the CMHA (Canadian Morgan Horse Association) that covers all of Canada. We invite you to explore what we have to offer our members.

The latest update was made January 4th, 2024.

The Ontario Morgan Horse Club Futurity

The OMHC Futurity began in 1973, not long after the founding of the club in 1968.  The first yearling crowned Champion was Silver Liebling who was bred by Roy & Bea Boyt and owned by Luc & Diane Caron.

A list of past winners can be found on the futurity page.

The purpose of this Futurity is to encourage, promote and reward good breeding practices among Morgan owners. Breeders become conscious of the need to carefully select both stallions and broodmares for the most successful matings. Mare owners are encouraged to seek out the best stallions for their mares, not merely the closest one with financial rewards if their choices are good.

Futurities offer an additional opportunity to have your young horses shown before a qualified judge and an interested audience of possible buyers, thus stimulating the market for young stock.

We offer a three year old driving class and a four year old saddle class. All of the futurity classes are offered at the Ontario Morgan Horse Championship Classic. Click here for more information and forms
