Hello, my name is Morgan Allen and I am a rising senior at Durango High School (graduating class of 2019). My passion and commitment as an equestrian athlete began when I started taking lessons at the age of nine. Now, I am training and competing on horses of my own as well as competing on various catch horses. I also just recently purchased a horse that I am competing on under the training of Warren Performance Horses (Devin Warren) at many shows throughout the year.
