The applicant will complete an application, essay, DVD, and include two letters of reference and submit the package to AMHA by Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at 5 p.m. EST. The entry fee is $50. The winner will be announced at the American Morgan Horse Association's annual convention on February 24 in Boston, Massachusetts.

This year's contest horse is a coming two-year-old chestnut mare named CBMF Stolen Kisses. "Latte" is by GLB Bell Pepper and out of Chocolate Kisses, who is a full sister to world champion Continental Vision. In August, she won the Yearling Filly class at the Massachusetts Morgan Horse Show.
Ann Hailey of Copper Beech LLC in New Albany, Ohio, once again has generously donated a Morgan horse from her breeding program as the prize. In 2008, CBMF Walk The Line was won by Christie Little of Harrington, Delaware, and in 2009 Katarina Barrett of Middletown, Maryland, was the winner of CBMF Phoenix.
