What a wonderful weekend at the third annual All Around Gaited Extravaganza!!!! We had exhibitors from NC, VA, SC and even Florida!

The goal of this show is to promote the art of versatility by offering lots of beginner events and encouraging exhibitors to try new events - and most of all HAVE FUN! Everyone in attendance would likely agree the best part of the weekend was watching our youth try new versatility events and supporting one another all weekend! From jumping to the game events, it was priceless to see the future stewards of our breed having fun with their horses.

Lots of thank you's for a perfect show:
-Thank you to the honorable Sandy Harris for marking the cards, as well as our dressage judge Christine Barlow de Vries
-Kathie Crellin came all the way from Rhode Island to volunteer all weekend - we appreciate you!!!
-Cassidie Edman was our organizer show manager and made things smooth in the office and the ring - she even worked on her birthday!
-Joni Henderson and Erin Demchko organized a very fun youth pizza party and ice cream social with trivia and games. Special thanks to Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' & Exhibitors' Association for supplying a youth grant for our party!
-Leon Gibbs was our fantastic announcer and also volunteered with the organization of the show all around
-Justin Kerkendall was our DQP and kept things running smoothly
-Bryant Preast helped work the gate all weekend - THANK YOU!

Lastly, thank you again to all of our sponsors. Horse shows are getting harder to put on, and we can't do it without your support. To all of our exhibitors, families, friends and volunteers, thank you!
