TWHBEA and The Celebration are proud to introduce a new initiative recognizing those making their Celebration debut this year. All first-time exhibitors will receive a commemorative ribbon and are invited to gather in the center ring for a group photo on Friday, August 22, at 6:00 p.m., just before the evening performance. 

This is a special moment to honor the beginning of what we hope will be a lifelong connection with the Tennessee Walking Horse’s most treasured tradition. The Celebration is built on the spirit of its fans, the dedication of its exhibitors, and the memories made in the show ring. We’re thrilled to welcome this new group into the fold and hope this is just the first of many nights they’ll shine under the lights of the Big Oval.
