The 2025 Superior Morgan Sweepstakes Event will be held on
Tuesday evening PRELIMINARY, November 18, time TBA
Wednesday evening FINALS, November 19, time TBA

ENTRY DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1st, 2025

We are thrilled to bring you one of the largest and most exciting programs in the history of the Morgan breed. In 2025, the total payout will be $362,400, with $72,000 going toward the 3YO Performance Incentive. The 2025 Superior Sweepstakes Weanling Champion will take home a check for $79,860.

The Superior Sweepstakes offers the largest payouts available in breed history. In the first three events, the sweepstakes paid out a total of $828,900 to weanlings, with an additional $71,000 to be paid out to foals born in 2024 for the Superior Performance Incentive.

We would like to welcome Shanna Gish and Jim Taylor to the Superior Sweepstakes Committee for 2025. Shanna and Jim have decades of experience, and bring their knowledge of breeding and showing countless World Champions to take the Superior Sweepstakes into the future.

The first night of competition features all eligible, entered weanlings showing individually. The five judge panel will select a group of approximately 20 weanlings to return on Wednesday evening for the final evaluation.

The second night of competition will bring the final 20 weanlings back individually, before returning as a full group for a final lineup and evaluation. Once the judges have marked their cards from 1-20, the results will be tabulated and announced, beginning with honorable mention, then the long march from 20th to 1st place and the distribution of the largest purse in the history of the breed.

Only two foals per stallion will be eligible to show in this event—one will be bred by the winning bidder from the stallion service auction, the stallion owner donating the service earned the right to nominate a weanling, so this is a very exclusive group! If you have sold or transferred your sweepstakes nomination, please contact secretary Julie Christopher immediately at 248-921-3316 or email her at fairwindmorgans@gmail.com. You must complete a TRANSFER FORM if you have sold or transferred your eligible weanling.

Only the mares owned or leased by the winning bidder from the stallion service auction or the stallion service donor are eligible to produce Sweepstakes foals. All entries will be checked against the American Morgan Horse Association’s records to confirm eligibility to compete in the Sweepstakes event.

In 2024, based on a jackpot of $272,000, we awarded the following:

Entries for the 2025 Superior Morgan Sweepstakes Event will close on November 1, 2025, allowing as much time as possible to choose which of your weanlings will be the most fit to compete. Entries MUST BE RECEIVED by November 1st. Emailed entries will be accepted. The entry fee for the event will be $250, which includes one stall. Additional tack stalls may be purchased for $65.

Upon completion of the event on Wednesday evening, weanlings that are not consigned to the Superior Morgan Horse Sale will be required to leave the grounds by 8 AM on Thursday morning, as those stalls will be needed for the sale horses and stallions moving in on Thursday. Local trainers and stables have volunteered their facilities as layover locations for any weanlings that cannot be shipped home until after the completion of the Superior Morgan Horse Sale. Contact the sale if you require names of participating stables.

If you bred a mare in 2024 that is sired by one of these stallions, and the service that you’re using was purchased through our 2023 Superior Morgan Sweepstakes Sire Auction, your 2025 foal will be eligible to compete in our 2025 event provided you have submitted the Mare Declaration Form by December 31, 2024. To download a form, go to our Sweepstakes Rules page, or call Julie Christopher at 248-921-3316 or drop her an email at fairwindmorgans@gmail.com.
