to introduce town/city children to Tennessee Walking
Horses. They might come out later if you offer riding
lessons at a small fee. Don’t forget to include the FFA
in these projects.
All the above, and anything you might think of, are
excellent ways to get your horse into the public eye.
When you do neat things with your Tennessee Walking
Horses please, please send a picture of the event and
a short paragraph telling what happened in order that
it might be put in Walking On and let the world know
what we are doing with our smooth riding horses.

Count On Spirit O’ Three & Morgan Hodge:
A Team to be Reckoned With
The past year showing Count On Spirit O’Three (a.k.a. Layla) has definitely been one to remember for Morgan Hodge. Morgan states her best memory of 2015 is seeing Layla and herself become a much stronger team
through riding and training everyday thus working toward their goals of success in the show ring.
Layla was named as WHOA’s 2015 National High Point and Walking Horse Report’s High Point Report Youth
Country Pleasure Champion for the second year in a row. These important wins helped Morgan become the
Showmanship and Equitation Champion for the second year in a row. Layla also helped her earn the title of
Youth WHOA Quest Champion for the second year in a row.
This impressive team ended the TWHBEA World Versatility Show with wins in Youth Intro Level Dressage,
Youth 12-17 Stake Race, Youth Halter, Youth 12-17 Showmanship, and Youth Stock Seat Equitation Canter. We
were awarded the 12-17 High Point for the third year in a row, and the Overall High Point in 2015
Count On Spirit O’Three is definitely a best friend as well as being a dream horse for Morgan.
