2024 Show Season and Conversation
July has entered the room with the heat and humidity behind her. If you are traveling to Shelbyville, West Virginia or Waynesville this month stay safe and most of all cool. Most have put up their first round of hay and hopefully with some rain we will have a second or third cutting. Those babies whether horse or cow will need to eat.
As always, I hope the 2024 show season brings you many blue ribbon rides and the creation of a new friendship. We have all known the love of a good horse and what pleasure they bring to our lives, as well as, the friendships we make showing horses. Take time and give thought on the reason we participate in this hobby throughout this year. May we compete for the love of the horse, be humble when we win, and gracious if we lose.
Here's to a great 2024 show season.

ETWHA Mission Statement
- 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.
