If you would like to join us, we have Individual, Junior or Family Associateship at $25.00 per year. The categories are: Breeder, Enthusiast and Other.  Please fill out the information requested on the APOSMHA Application, (i.e., your name, address, other contact information; your original signature signifying your understanding of the purpose of our association to preserve, promote and perpetuate the POSM Horse TM, etc..  Upon our receipt of your application requirements, new Associates are sent your New Associate Packet with more information on the POSMs. Please become involved in preserving the POSM Horse.

Most POSMs are found in the hundreds of waves of the lake of the Lippitts primarily. 

The greater indiscriminate source of POSMs is found in the ocean's thousands of waves of the American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA).

It depends on how much time one has for study, searching pedigrees, searching breeders, visiting farms, creating relationships, etc. or just basically "recreating the wheel".  Remember the POSM Horse type flourished when work was physically hard and tediously perilous.  It was a time when reliable help from a God gifted equine friend could mean the difference between life and death of you or your family or neighbors.  People worked the land, traveled and transported with animal power rather than solely by hand.  And, the light draft original old type Morgan or POSM Horse was highly favored.  This type Morgan brought the highest prices.  The POSM type was the all around use Morgan.  The POSM was not the product of human engineers and calculations.  He was favored because he excelled at everything on the small family farms, ranches, homesteads, the woods and on the roads. 

Once you have your POSM, please register immediately with the POSM Horse Registry (PHR) so other preservationists will know who they may breed to, buy from, what traits your POSM is strong in or who has appropriate stud services, etc..  We will gladly supply your name, upon request, to prospective owners and breeders. Remember, as an Associate  of APOSMHA, if someone wants to buy a POSM from you and you sense, hear, know, they are not kind to their animals or do not intend to breed POSMs, DO NOT SELL!   Think about the commitment.  They are wonderful little horses.  Dont't tell anybody, but they are fun too!
