Exhibitor and Horse Cards continue for 2025 Show Season
Wednesday, March 5, 2025
The show season will soon be here! Again this year TWHBEA is administering the show cards that will be required by shows affiliated with American Horse Services (AHS) and S.H.O.W. H.I.O. Proceeds from the sale of the Exhibitor and Horse cards will again help fund the industry’s ongoing legal efforts. Last year the Show cards provided $352,350 to the legal fund. This year Horse and Exhibitor cards will be required by SHOW and AHC for all Tennessee Walking Horse and Racking Horse classes. They are not required in open breed classes like local pleasure and lead line. The industry has recently enjoyed some success in our legal challenges and the ability for us to continue to fund these challenges relies heavily on income derived from the sale of Exhibitor and Horse Cards.
