Champion - World Champion - World Grand Champion

Tennessee Walking Horses

In the Beginning the of the Walking Horse show years they were entered into many shows that hosted various breeds, and offered Walking Horse classes. Most shows in these early years they where shown in the results as the Plantation Walking Horse. Various early publications listed The Plantation Walking Horse at shows that included, Saddlebred, Welsh Pony, Arabian, Morgan, & even Shetland Pony. As it wasn't until later years that shows programs would reference them as a Tennessee Walking Horse.

The first major show for the Walking Horse was The Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration which started in 1939. Taking place each year in late summer. In the beginning it was only a local show & slowly turned into a 10 day show, Ending on Saturday night with the naming of the World Grand Champion. For the first time in 67 years there was NO World Grand Champion.

I hope you enjoy your visit to some of the shows I've researched. I will be adding to the shows as I can.
