Gilbert to judge TWHYA Summer Splash; Pre-enter most classes for free
Monday, August 5, 2024

 

The Tennessee Walking Horse Youth Association (TWHYA) is finalizing plans for their 6th Annual Summer Splash Youth & Halter Show this Saturday,, August 10, at Maury County Park in Columbia, Tennessee. Vickey Gilbert of Rogersville, Alabama will judge the 31-class program, which includes just about every class for youth exhibitors and halter horses one can imagine. New to this year’s schedule is a showmanship class for youth exhibitors. The Summer Splash is the primary fundraiser for the TWHYA and funds the majority of youth programs offered by TWHBEA. This year the show will also be a fundraiser for the Spring Hill FFA, who will be operating the concession stand.

To make the show as affordable as possible for youth exhibitors, and to incentivize exhibitors to make their entries early, entry fees for all classes (except Riders Cup) are free if entered before 5pm on Friday, August 9, 2024. Pre-entries can be made online, in-person at the TWHBEA office, or by emailing an entry form to jozburn@twhbea.com. More information about the show, including a link to enter online, downloadable entry form, and class schedule can be found at www.TWHBEA.com/splash. You can also call 931-359-1574 or email info@twhbea.com for more information.



Celebration success!!! Post over 2500 entries!

Celebration entries remain consistent

The 86th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration will be held August 21st through August 31st and will once again host over 2.500 entries.  The total number of pre-show entries was 2,536 matching the total from 2022, which was the first time in 12 years that the Celebration had topped 2,500 entries.

The total number of entries is 34 entries higher than last year and the total this year is a 25% increase just five years ago.  “My goal the last two years has been to pass that 2,500 entries mark.  We did it first in 2022 and that was the first time to get above 2,500 since 2012. I’m thrilled we are over 2,500 and that we surpassed the last two year’s numbers. I can’t thank our trainers, exhibitors, and owners enough for supporting our World Grand Championship show” said Celebration CEO Warren Wells.

The Celebration added a late entry deadline this year for the first time.  The late deadline was used by 28 entries in total, 13 of which were Maiden entries at the International last week.  The Celebration previously announced that Maiden entries could use the late deadline with no penalty due to the fact that championship was not held until after the original Celebration deadline.
