The Scoop For The Walking Horse Industry TWHBEA Endorses Blackburn Legislation Lewisburg, TN - The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ & Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA) fully supports new legislation introduced by Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R, TN) to institute objective, sciencebased inspections and reform the Tennessee Walking Horse industry. “We are very honored and appreciative of Congressman Blackburn’s efforts to support our community and strengthen the integrity of our sport,” said President Steve Smith. TWHBEA, headquartered in Lewisburg, Tennessee, is the oldest and most prestigious organization devoted to the promotion of the breed. Founded in 1935, the breed registry was established to record the pedigrees of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Its goal is to maintain the purity of the breed, to promote greater awareness of the Tennessee Walking Horse and its qualities, to encourage expansion of the breed, and to help assure its general welfare. “This legislation was endorsed unanimously by our Executive Committee, and we strongly believe in its creation of a single, independent Horse Industry Organization (HIO) and its establishment of an objective, science-based inspection protocol,” continued Smith. “While we are proud that more than 95% of horses inspected today are compliant with federal law, we cannot rest until every horse, in every class, in every show is found to be sound and healthy” concluded Smith. TWHBEA is hopeful that this legislation will be received positively in the House of Representatives and gains widespread acceptance and passage. In the meantime, TWHBEA will help to incorporate the basic tenants of the legislation in the current self-regulatory environment.

WHTA Supports H.R. 4098 The Walking Horse Trainers’ Association (WHTA), the only nationally recognized association of professional Walking Horse trainers is in full support of the legislation amending the Horse Protection Act filed by Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. “On behalf of my fellow trainers I would like to thank Congresswoman Blackburn for her willingness to help our industry. We believe strongly that an objective, science based inspection protocol ensures the welfare of the horse and a level playing field for all our members,” said WHTA President Mickey McCormick. H.R. 4098, the Horse Protection Amendments Acts of 2013, will abolish the current Horse Industry Organization (HIO) system and create a single, independent HIO for enforcement of the HPA. The bill also creates an objective, science-based inspection protocol replacing the current subjective protocol. “Our board of directors fully supports a single, independent HIO that conducts a fair and thorough exam of our horses prior to their exhibition. As trainers we are entrusted with the welfare of these horses that are under our care and we take that responsibility seriously,” continued McCormick. The WHTA joins the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ & Exhibitors’ Association, Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration and Performance Show Horse Association in support of H.R. 4098. “I think the unanimous endorsement of this legislation from the major national associations in our industry speaks to the effectiveness of the legislation. We stand ready to do anything we can to push for passage of this legislation,” concluded McCormick

The Scoop For The Walking Horse Industry whoa pleasure horse changes WHOA 2014 PLEASURE DIVISION RULE CHANGES Murfreesboro, TN - Born out of commitment to the interests of the Tennessee Walking Horse, it’s owners, and the walking horse industry, the Walking Horse Owners’ Association (WHOA) continues to work towards bettering the image of the Tennessee Walking Horse. An improved image will result in favorable interest in our horses among the general public. This in turn will expand the market for Tennessee Walking Horses and increase pride of ownership. To that end, the WHOA Board of Directors has approved the following PLEASURE DIVISION rule changes to go into effect immediately: 1. Toe length for all horses competing at WHOA shows and events will be limited to 5 inches. 2. Only clear hoof polish will be allowed at WHOA shows and events. 3. Tungsten shoes will be prohibited on the show grounds during WHOA shows and events. 4. Hoof bands will be prohibited on the show grounds during WHOA shows and events. 5. Stallions shall be barred from any class the conditions of which specify that a youth exhibitor is to ride. Youth cannot exhibit stallions in any division with the exception of weanlings. 6. ALL DAY PLEASURE CLASSES The All Day Pleasure division is designed to encourage participation from exhibitors who may be new to showing horses or the exhibitor who wants to show their typical “All Day” pleasure horse. All Day Pleasure classes are open to youth and amateur exhibitors only. Regarding youth of professionals, WHOA must be in receipt of a notarized letter showing exclusive ownership of horse by youth/youth’s immediate family at least 3 months prior to show date. Effective date will be date of receipt in WHOA office. For year 2014, receipt 30 days prior to show date will be enforced. Individuals that share the same residence with a trainer, or a trainer’s immediate family, are not allowed to exhibit in this division. 7. Communication devices are allowed only for first year amateur riders and exhibitors “11 years and under” Communication devices are prohibited for all riders in equitation, versatility, and showmanship events. Each of these rule changes was proposed and approved based on the belief that presenting our horses in this manner will make the general public more aware of the soundness of the Tennessee Walking Horse, thus improving its image and marketability. 2014 WHOA HORSE SHOW EVENTS Shows are listed as they are scheduled. For information about show dates, or class sheets please see our webpage at www.walkinghorseowners. com.

Editor’s correction In the most recent publication we listed Godfather By Ultra Copy owned by Stone Manor Farm incorrectly. He is proudly owned by Courtney and Alex Luttrell Alvaton, KY & Shelbyville, TN. The Scoop apologizes for the mix up and wishes Godfather By Ultra Copy much success in the 2014 show season.
obituaries Reserve World Grand Champion, Hard Mountain Cash was laid to rest humanely on February 23, 2014. He was the 13 year old stallion by Coins Hard Cash. Hard Mountain Cash was selected by Paul Robbins to be his Amateur mount in 2012. He was the North Carolina and South Carolina Championships winner and Columbia Spring Jubilee champion this year. Paul and Hard Mountain Cash had an unforgettable show ring career filled with blues in the Amateur Owned & Trained divisions as well as Amateur classes. Hard Mountain Cash was The Scoop’s Scoop Selection winner this year in the Amateur Owned & Trained division voted by the readers. This horse was a crowd favorite and loved by many, but most of all loved by Paul he wasn’t only his champion, he was his friend. The Scoop’s sends its apologies to the Robbins family on their great loss.

South Central Kentucky High Point Awards Banquet
Lucas, KY – The South Central Kentucky Walking Horse Association held its 37th Annual Awards Banquet at Barren River Lodge on Saturday, March 8, 2014. The evening started with folks reminiscing over events that took place during the 2013 show season. The attendance was quite large with a record breaking number of 230 tickets sold for this year. The food is always delicious with a Chef’s Choice buffet. After dinner, Johnnie Tarter auctioned off all items that were donated. The highest two items were stud fees, one to Multi WGC Walk Time Charlie and the other to Multi WGC Honors. The vocal and silent auction brought in over $11,800 which benefitted the South Central Kentucky Area Scholarship Program. The money is split between all the applicants as long as they have met the requirements. World Champions and Reserve World Champions and reserve winners from the area were recognized for their achievements this year from both the walking celebration and racking celebration. Joe Estes accepted the SCKWHA Horse Show of the Year Award for the Smiths The following persons were inducted into the Hall of Fame: Grove, Kentucky Horse Show. Joe also picked up a Reserve High Point Award David Smith, Ronnie W. Benson and Charles & Betty Mosley. They with My Ritzy Lady each received this honor for promoting the Tennessee Walking Horse and horse shows in South Central Kentucky. After all the events were completed, tables and chairs were removed from the dance floor. The Steel Band and the crowd came alive. The Jerry Myatt Family and the Joe Bertram Family sponsored the band. A 50/50 drawing was held and Sherry Bonner had the winning ticket. Everyone had a wonderful time and are looking forward to a repeat performance in 2015. Thank you to all of those folks who worked so hard organizing this function.

It’s all about Appearance In the show horse world, being a fashion plate doesn’t earn you blue ribbons. But being correctly attired and accessorized could make the difference when all else is equal.
English Attire
English classes require an English riding habit (saddle suit), riding boots, optional English spurs, pant tie downs or underpasses, optional gloves, and optional hat (homburg, top hat, derby, snap brim or helmet). Hair must be neatly groomed and long hair should be styled so that it does not hide the back number. In the Ladies Auxiliary class, exhibitors are required to wear a snap brim hat or derby and hair cannot hang below the collar.
Show season is here! It’s time to look forward to a new year of fun and enjoyment at horse shows. Though the economy overshadows us all, show ring competition will still be fierce and presentation will play as important a role as ever this year.
Earrings should be small pearls, diamonds, or colored stones and under no circumstances should earrings dangle. Nice touches include a collar bar under the tie and either a very small flower or the more modern option of a small lapel pin. Keep your lapel pins at a reasonable size, and equine related pins are preferred.
Do you find yourself getting confused before a big show when it comes to picking out the perfect combination of suit, shirt and tie? If you are like most of us, the choices seem endless and the guidelines for what to wear and what not to wear slip from memory. You cannot let those last minute details escape your thoughts before a show because the judges come with a scrutinizing eye! You want to have the appearance of an experienced winner and be the envy of riders and audiences alike!
Anything you wear must be fitted correctly. Finding a good tailor and investing in proper fit can do wonders for the appearance of any riding suit.
This is where The SCOOP steps in and helps to pull your presentation together before the gate call. You should be acquainted with the rules and regulations of your local Horse Industry Organization (HIO) that governs attire. You can also garner valuable input from experienced apparel and tack merchants. First thing’s first. You must familiarize yourself with a valid definition for presentation. Webster’s dictionary defines presentation as “a symbol or image that represents something”. In this case, tack and apparel are the symbols or images that represent the rider. Wisely planning a good show wardrobe will not only help you make a good impression, but will also give you an extra bit of confidence each time you enter the arena, and save you time and aggravation in the long run. Invest in the best within your budget. Your apparel will last for years and still have good resale value if you plan, choose, and buy with longterm quality and durability in mind.

Lead Line The Lead Line class showcases the future riders of tomorrow...our precious children and their cute little ponies! Matching English or Western attire for the handler and rider should complement the pony. Tack can be either English or Western but must be appropriate to the attire.
Model / Handling Attire Clothing for colt handlers can vary upon the time of day they are showing and the weather conditions at the show. Typical attire is an English riding habit minus the jacket. Formal attire is desired for Championship classes held after 6 PM. Handlers in the Model class can wear either English or Western attire, but the attire should be appropriate for the horse. If wearing English attire, the horse’s tack must be English. If wearing Western attire, the horse’s tack must be Western. (See checklists below.)

Formal Attire Formal attire should never be worn at a one-night show. It is never appropriate to wear formal attire before 5 PM, even for Championship classes held during the day. During a multi-day show, even in a qualifying class after 5 PM, a day coat and suit are acceptable. Formal attire should be reserved for Championship classes after 5 PM. Formal attire includes: • • • • • • • •
Formal jods with a satin stripe can be worn with a day coat with shawl collar. They should be paired with a wing collar shirt, vest and bowtie or a cummerbund and bowtie. A tuxedo jacket and jods should match. The jacket should have satin lapels and a satin stripe should follow the outer seam of the jods. The tux should be worn with a wing collar shirt, vest and bowtie or a cummerbund and bowtie. White gloves are only appropriate if worn with a white wing collar shirt, vest and bowtie or a white cummerbund and bowtie. A lovely top hat, steamed and brushed, should always accompany formal attire. A wing collar shirt for ladies should have a smooth front. The shirt can have either a fly front or studs. Formal shirts can be made of cotton, but the most popular are silk. Formal vests and bowties are preferred over cummerbunds and bow ties, especially for ladies out of adolescence and with mature figures. The vest helps keep a pulled together look and adds punch to the outfit. Boots should be patent leather. Black works well with navy blue or black tuxedo or jods. To get your boots shining, clean them with Vaseline worked into a small, clean cloth. Bows in the hair should not be overpowering; they should be small and subtle and complement the outfit.
Hats
If you have a round face, a derby is not for you. You would look better in a small brimmed homberg steamed and shaped just for you. If you have a heart shaped face, you would look better in a derby steamed and curled. If you have a long slim face, a wider brimmed homberg would look best on you. If you are in a class where you must wear a tux, a top hat is a must; it finishes the look. Men should always show in a hat. You should always pick a hat color that goes well with your suit or if showing in a day coat, normally the hat matches the jods. If you choose to show without a hat, your hair should be very short or pulled back and put up and no strands hanging. This will ensure a very neat appearance. Page 38 / The Scoop

Western Attire To be eligible to show in Western classes, you must have western style long pants or jeans, western style long sleeved, collared shirt, a western hat, and western boots. Optional attire includes western style chaps, spurs, vest, jackets, and gloves. Western riders continue to have beautiful choices in colors and fabrics for their show apparel. Elaborately embellished clothes are always popular, but classic looks in quality materials and detailed tailoring are a wise investment that can be worn for years, not just a season.
For women’s western tops, the key is comfort and the palette is pretty. Tall collars and ornate cuffs on fitted bodices continue to be the preferred silhouette, with many riders wearing waist-length tops worn tails out over the waistband of chaps. Western clothing should coordinate with horse and saddle blanket.
Fine Harness Division Fine harness attire requires men to wear a riding suit, formal suit or business suit with hat. Ladies must wear riding suits, formal or cocktail wear, or dress with appropriate top. Skirts and slits in dresses cannot be above the knee without the use of a lap blanket.
Equitation Appointments In Equitation classes, the judge shall penalize those exhibitors who do not conform to proper appointments. Appointment requirements are based on good taste, which is always in style and always correct. A solid color or conservative pinstripe saddle suit is correct both day and evening and should be worn with coordinating vest, four-in-hand tie, man’s style shirt, gloves, homburg, derby, or snap brim hat, and jodhpur boots. Underpasses are required, long hair must be styled above the collar and only small post earrings are acceptable. Semi-formal Equitation classes require a saddle seat tuxedo suit with one-button coat in dark blue, brown, gray or black, with the collar and lapels of the same color and matching jodphurs with a vertical satin stripe of matching color. A top hat, white formal tuxedo shirt, dark bow tie, cummerbund or pique vest, gloves, and jodhpur boots are also necessary. Formal attire for Equitation is the same as the semi-formal suit, except worn with a top hat and white accessories, including white bow tie, cummerbund or pique vest, and gloves. Underpasses are required. The formal suit is worn only after 6 PM.

Tips on caring for your show attire The following recommendations may seem redundant to a seasoned exhibitor but, with so many new exhibitors in the industry, we felt these tips would be beneficial. Careful maintenance will lengthen the life of your quality apparel by years. •
•

•

Always keep your show coat on a well padded hanger. A cloth bag is far superior to a plastic bag to protect your garments from dust and dirt. Plastic bags breed mold and dust and may dry out suede knee patches. Bring a lint roller to every show for quick touch-ups before entering the show ring. A soft bristle brush should be used sparingly due to the stress it may cause to some fabrics. Try to use the same pin holes for back number pins, as well as decorative pins worn on your coat lapel. Before and after showing, it is best to keep your garments away from the sunlight because the sun can cause damage to the fabric as well as fading. Keep a container of alcohol-free baby wipes in your tack box. When horse sweat gets on your coat (and eventually it will) use a few wipes and gently scoop away the sweat. Use the wipes as soon as your class is over so the sweat doesn’t set in the fabric. This practice will make the dry cleaner’s job a lot easier. Store your garments indoors in a well ventilated environment. It is best not to keep them in a tack room. Thoroughly and gently brush your garments after each show. Unless there are serious stains on any garment, it is not necessary to dry clean after each show. Frequent dry cleaning can be stressful to many fabrics and everyone’s budget. A quick steaming will remove wrinkles. Make every effort to develop a good relationship with a reputable dry cleaner, to protect your investment. Suggest that your garments be cleaned with fresh fluid. Used or old fluid will not remove some spots and/or stains, and may actually discolor many fabrics. Do not use club soda or nail polish remover. They can aggravate the stain making it impossible to remove. Never press a stain on any garment as the stain may become permanently set. A baby’s soft hairbrush will clean your hat, but the long handle on a real hat brush makes the job easier. Spots on felt hats can sometimes be removed by gently using fine sandpaper or an emery board. For straw hats, a soft brush whisks away dirt, and small stains can be removed with a dab of liquid soap on a soft cloth. Invest in a strong hat carrier. Don’t use a plastic bag to store your hat as heat and moisture can mildew or warp the hat. Heat is your hat’s enemy, so never store it in a horse trailer, car, or other area that may heat up. Always have on hand special rain gear for protection of your suit and hat. These plastic covers can be purchased at most any tack shop. Jod keepers are a great way to give your show pants a longer life. These jod keepers now come in fun colors and patterns. These have always been used in the Saddlebred breed and some walking trend setters are using them.
the horse shows have ended, it’s the friendships and adventures you’ll remember more than any award or judge. Best of Luck!
