The 84th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse

National Celebration?

August 24 - September 3, 2022

TO OUR EXHIBITORS

Welcome to the 84th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration?! Your continued support and participation over the past 84 years has enhanced The Celebration's standing as the World's Greatest Horse Show.

It is the mission of The Celebration? to showcase the best of the Tennessee Walking Horse breed in world-class competition while providing Tennessee Walking Horse fans and visitors with high quality entertainment appealing to all ages. In support of this, we will continue to build and maintain an equestrian facility that is also available to host a variety of horse shows and other types of entertainment year-round. We will strive to conduct our business in such a way that it economically benefits the Middle Tennessee community, as well as, Tennessee Walking Horse breeders, trainers and owners.

Our class schedule, while somewhat similar from year to year, remains a work in progress. The goal is to provide a class schedule that will allow each exhibitor every opportunity to compete at the highest level. Input from exhibitors and trainers is invaluable as we work to make it better each year. Your comments have given us direction in making changes and improvements to this year's schedule.

Thanks, and Good Luck!
