48th ANNUAL NATIONAL WALKING HORSE TRAINERS’ SHOW
World Grand Champion A Strong Need For Cash and Michael Wright were the 2016 National Trainers’ Show Walking Horse Stake Champions.
SHELBYVILLE, TN-The 48th Annual National Walking Horse Trainers’ Show was held on March 17-19, 2016, at the Calsonic Arena in Shelbyville, TN. The small town of Shelbyville was brimming with horse show enthusiasts who were in town for the first big show of the year. In addition to the traditional three day show there was a firsttime Country Boy Show held on Saturday morning. Between the two shows there were 527 entries. The 2016 National Trainers’ Show judges were the Honorable Allan Forman of Georgia, Jamie Hankins of Kentuckey, and Dean Byard of Tennessee. Page / The Scoop

The Trainers’ Show is the traditional season opener and the show was a much needed success! The Walking Horse Trainers’Auxiliary also held a silent auction which took place on the upper concourse to help raise money for the organization. There were many items available to bid on. Most importantly, the trainers did a stellar job of presenting their horses in a polished and professional manner. They have set the standard for the year. The horses were showy and exciting and proved that there can be a positive performance of the Tennessee Walking Horse. The owners and exhibitors were expecting an upbeat and successful show and the trainers delivered.
Rondall and Sadie Baskin were thrilled with World Grand Champion Mr. Heisman Trainers’ Show blue ribbon performance.

The Scoop For The Walking Horse Industry
Ebony’s Threat Professor Headstone Sold on Craigslist
An Effort by Tennessee Walking Horse Supporters purchased the headstone of Ebony’s Threat Professor off of Craigslist. Elizabeth Hord and Christopher Givens along with the help of many others raised the money to preserver this part of history. Ebony’s Threat Professor was the 1993 Four Year Old World Grand Champion. He was owned by Dr. Bob and Curtis McCloy and trained by Ronal Young. The plan for this headstone is to be featured at the Tennessee Walking Horse Museum in Wartrace, TN.

TWHBEA International High Point Program Announced Today, the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association announces the new TWHBEA International High Point Program designed to collect and record the results of every horse shown on the rail. Shows affiliated with the Program will receive free advertising on the TWHBEA website, all social media sites such as Facebook and distribution of email blasts to TWHBEA’s email database. Affiliated shows agree to the rules of the Program, and submit the complete show results to TWHBEA. There will be no cost to the show, rider-member or owner-member to participate in this Program. The point calculation formula reflects the number of horses in a class, the placement of the horse in the class and the overall classification of the show. All horses completing the class receive one participation point. Horses tying receive additional points based on the number of horses completing the class. Horses compete against other horses Regionally and Nationally. Points accumulated throughout the season at these shows determine the results for Regional and International High Point Winners. IPEDS will include high point results and all awards garnered by the horse in addition to show results. The high point horses and their owners will receive recognition at the TWHBEA Annual Awards Banquet in December of each year. For full details of the TWHBEA International High Point Program please go to:http://www.twhbea.com/16PDFs/16IntlHighPointProgram.pdf

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.

I t ’s a l l a b o u t A p p e a r a n c e 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.)

I t ’s a l l a b o u t A p p e a r a n c e 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. A new trend this year is a sequin formal coat or crystals around the collar to add more sparkel in the show ring. 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 44 / The Scoop

I t ’s a l l a b o u t A p p e a r a n c e 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. White hats are a new trend and look great paired with black chaps. Dale Chavez saddles are definitely taking over in the show ring this year.
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.

I t ’s a l l a b o u t A p p e a r a n c e 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!
