In a recent bulletin to the Associ­
ation members the T. W. H. B. &
E. A. released information regarding
new rules and a proposed crackdown
on the mistreatment of Tennessee
Walking Horses in training for show
ring purposes. The release stated:
"We have specific rules in regard to
this matter and if you are not famil­
iar with the rules and penalties, we
advise you to familiarize yourself
with them.”
NEW RULES RECENTLY PUT
INTO EFFECT ARE AS FOLLOWS:
"The use of any substance such as
smear or graphite grease which al­
ters the natural color of the horse,
or hides the natural condition of the
pastern area, is prohibited, and Jud­
ges must disqualify all such entries.
Substances of a transparent nature
and containing no irritants of any
type, such as clear Vaseline, maybe
used as a protective measure only.
"Further, in the final adjudication,
any horse with old scars or showing
visible signs of the sore lick, must be
penalized.”
(EDITOR’S NOTE: All licensed
Judges have been instructed to en­
force the above new rules. We would
like to point out that we feel these
rules represent the feelings of the
majority of ALL Walking Horse en­
thusiasts and that all judges, licen­
sed or not, will certainlywanttohelp
in our increasing program to elimi­
nate any undue abuses to our horses
in the show ring.)
ATTENTION,
PLEASURE HORSE LOVERS!
We receive many inquiries regard­
ing more coverage of Pleasure Walk­
ing Horse activities. We are aware
that this is a vastly importantphase
of the Walking Horse business and
deserves maximum effort on our
part.
If you are a member of a riding
club or similar group that partici­
pates in pleasure horse activities,
we would appreciate your letters
and photographs regarding these
events so that we may make Walk­
ing Horse lovers from coast to coast
more aware of these activities.
