The 2023 ETWHA Show Season Ends.
As they say all good things must come to an end. That being said, the 2023 show season has ended with some great shows and a fresh look for the 2024 season. It is worth mentioning again; thank you to the exhibitors, trainers, spectators and those that helped with the East TN Fall Classic; 516 entries. We hope to donate a large amount to St Jude Children's Hospital. More to come on that front.
When you look forward please remember those that have lost so much during a terrible tragedy. Please keep the family and barn family of Bryan Barnhill in your thoughts and prayers. This type of hurt is unimaginable. I have posted ways to help Bryan if your heart leads you. See below.

- The members of the East Tennessee Walking Horse Association are a diverse group of people with a common goal. To some of our members the walking horse represents their chosen profession. To others the horse represents their greatest pleasure. The goal of all of us is to secure the future of the walking horse. This is our highest priority.
- Since any organization is made up of individuals with varying opinions and viewpoints, the situation demands of us that we work in the spirit of commitment, cooperation and most importantly unity. Therefore, we agree that to the best of our ability we will do, not what is best for us as individuals, but what is best for the walking horse.
