IMBA YOUTH PROGRAMS The Youth Programs are open to any youth 18 years old or younger, age as of January first. The International Morab Breeders‘ Association would like to recognize areas of participation of youth and their Morabs. We also recognize their efforts with Morgans and Arabians as these are our parent breeds and can lead to future ownership of a Morab. (Note: Horses used in the Youth program do not need to be owned by the Youth.) We want to support our youth as they are the future of the Morab breed. REQUIREMENTS: Youth must be a current member of IMBA either through Individual Youth Membership ($15.00) or a Family Youth Membership ($15.00 includes all of the family members under age 18.
