The Mississippi Walking horse Association (MWHA) recently raised almost $1,000.00 through a T-Shirt campaign for donation to the Tennessee Walking Horse Legal Fund. In addition, the MWHA has proudly donated $5,000.00 to FAST and are planning future donations as well, including 75% of the proceeds of the fall show to FAST.
In a statement made by a MWHA member, “We, as a group who have a mission statement to promote the Tennessee walking horse, do not take that mission lightly. We value each and every Tennessee walking horse, padded to trail horse, from those competing for World Championship honors to State 4H honors. The Mississippi Walking Horse Association knows that without this amazing horse and all the many facets it serves, our association would cease to exist.” End quote.
As an association, the MWHA challenges each and every State and Regional group, regardless of the venue of shows, to step up and donate if they have not already done so to oppose the proposed federal regulation by commenting at https://www.regulations.gov/comment?D=APHIS-2011-0009-0001
