It had 33 classes with 7 of those being Rider’s Cup classes. The Honorable Rollie Beard had the tough job of marking the cards for the show. Top horses from barns in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and more came out to support the event. Forest Shadow Walkers carried home many blue ribbons back to the state of Texas with both Kimberly Coult and Blake Cammack making victory rides. Choose Your Gait Farms brought home five blues back to Sweet Home Alabama.

Phillip Trimble Stables claimed several blues at the show as well. Both Pioneer Stables and Abernathy Stables dominated for the State of Mississippi. The Mississippi crew is second to none in their southern hospitality led by their President Ron Carney. The show each year raises money for an individual and this year’s recipient benefited greatly. A Gator and some homemade cakes were auctioned. There was also a silent auction held in conjunction. “Thank you for coming” was something that was told to every exhibitor exiting the gate! They certainly know how to host an event and make you wanting to come back. The Scoop looks forward to covering the next Mississippi event at the Jackson Charity Horse Show!
Dallas Cowboy and Jimmy Carter made an outstanding performance to claim the blue in a great class in the Mens Amateur division. Choose Your Gait Farms along with family and friends celebrated the win.

tennessee walking horse owner wins 2015 national field trail championship
usda industry abuse In 1971, the USDA began to implement the Horse Protection Act (HPA) by inspecting Tennessee Walking Horses, the only show breed they have inspected in almost 45 years, even though the HPA applies to all show breeds. From the very beginning of the first USDA inspections there has been a bias toward the Tennessee Walking Horse, even with this bias the USDA inspectors (VMO’s) in the early years exhibited a much different attitude in their inspections than they currently exhibit. There was an attitude of we will help you comply with the law while they were enforcing the HPA. They enforced the HPA as a regulatory agency should, that is with an approach to help the industry regulated be in compliance with the law. There was a give and take philosophy where the USDA listened to feedback from the industry and the industry listened to the USDA and as a result the industry began on its own to inspect horses at every Walking Horse event to make sure that the HPA was complied with. The USDA could have never inspected every horse show or event but the Walking Horse Industry was determined to see that all horses were in compliance with the HPA and did about 95% of the USDA’s work for them. No other industry has ever self regulated and done the regulatory agency’s (USDA) work for them. As a result of the Walking Horse undustry instituting its own Horse Industry Organization (HIO) for inspecting horses the HPA compliance rate for all Tennessee Walking Horses was approximately 98%. Instead of being appreciative of the work and end result achieved by the Walking Horse Industry through their HIO, the USDA became combative and adversarial in their dealings with the Industry. The adversarial and combative nature of the USDA is the exact opposite of the way a regulatory agency is supposed to operate. The USDA stopped being a regulatory agency to see that an undustry thrived and did well but instead became a regulatory agency that was a bureacratic gestapo on a mission to kill the Tennssee Walking Horse as an industry regardless of the ancillary fallout and devastating consequences. The US Court Of Appeals recently rendered a decision to help quell the USDA’s bureacratic abuse of the Tennessee Walking Horse Industry, however there has to be more effort to stop this abuse which is worse than anything the VA or the IRS has done to any individual as this bureacratic abuse effects specific individuals as well as a whole industry.
