Class schedules
for the 2008 Celebration Spring
Fun Show and 70th
Tennessee Walking Horse National
Celebration have been
posted and are available for
review on The Celebration
website (www.twhnc.com)
with links on the home
page to both schedules.
The Fun Show
schedule is exactly the same as
2007, with no changes. The
Celebration schedule is reviewed
annually, and there are several
changes noted for 2008. They
are as follows:
Moved old Class
69, Owner-Amateur Youth Riders
15-17 Years on Walking Mares or
Geldings, to Thursday evening,
Class 25. The youth novice
class is the same night.
Exhibitors may need to show in
both classes to qualify for
championship.
Moved old Class
88, Owner-Amateur Riders on
Walking Horses, Riders 70 Years
and Over, to be Class 82. This
move was made to have the class
presented earlier in the evening
performance.
Put a class in
between old Classes 37 and 38.
Both are youth classes, but with
Western and English attire.
Youth may be showing in both
classes and not have enough time
to change attire.
Deleted old Class
147, Walking Mares or Geldings,
World Grand Championship
due to declining entries
over the last several years.
Deleted Western
Park Pleasure (Canter) classes:
old Classes 6, 71, 152. This
division was eliminated due to
declining entries over the last
several years.
Added
Owner-Amateur English or Western
Trail Pleasure Walking Horses,
Four- Years-Old, Adult Riders,
Class 41.
Added Young
Trainers, 35 Years and Under, on
Walking Horses, 15.2 and Under,
Class 70.
Moved old Class
40, Owner-Amateur Youth Riders
12-17 Years on Show Pleasure
Walking Mares or Geldings to
Monday morning, Class 96.
Received several comments about
show pleasure classes being too
close together. This is an
attempt to correct this
situation.
“We always
receive input from trainers,
exhibitors and owners each year
regarding the class schedule,”
said Celebration Entry Office
Manager, Mary Lynn Dickens. “We
strive to make the schedule as
friendly as possible to the
largest number of exhibitors.”
Comments and
suggestions are welcomed and can
be directed to Dickens before
the schedules are made
permanent. She can be reached
at mldickens@twhnc.com
or by calling (931) 684-5915.
The 38th
Annual Spring Fun Show is
scheduled for Memorial Day
Weekend, May 22-24, while the 70th
Annual Tennessee Walking Horse
National Celebration
is slated for Aug. 20-30.
