On Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25, 2024, the 54th Annual Spring Fun Show will feature the popular “Pick Your Partner” classes. The Pleasure class will be class 39 on Friday night and the Performance class will be class 63 on Saturday night. These classes are open to teams of youth, amateurs, and/or trainers. Any combination is acceptable. One team member will ride first way and their partner will ride second way. Entries for these classes can be made online and are due by 1pm each day at EnterMyWalkingHorse.com. Teams are encouraged to enter ASAP and then start soliciting sponsors (much like a walk-a-thon) to support them in the class. This is a fun way for everyone to help support the industry as all online donations go directly to the Foundation for the Advancement & Support of the Tennessee Walking Show Horse (FAST).  A “Fan Favorite” award will be given for the team that raises the most money by the end of the class. Fans can support their favorite riders by making donations to their team page, which can be found at www.twhbea.com/partner.

Again, all entries must be submitted by 1pm each day at EnterMyWalkingHorse.com.

Once entries are confirmed, a link to each team fundraising page will be posted online at www.twhbea.com/partner.

The 54th Annual Spring Fun Show will be held May 23-25, 2024, in Cooper Steel Arena on the historic show grounds of the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration. Judging the Spring Fun Show will be Jamie Bradshaw, Mike Hilley and Dickie Scrivner.

Bradshaw has been a regular at Celebration events having marked the cards at The Celebration six times.  His most recent assignment was in 2022.  Bradshaw also judged the Spring Fun Show in 2022 and has judged most every major show in the industry during his career.

Hilley will be judging the Spring Fun Show for the first time however he has also previously judged The Celebration.  Hilley marked the cards at The Celebration in 2018 and 2020.  Hilley has been in center ring at some major venues since his last Celebration role.  He has judged the National Trainers’ Show, Pulaski, Columbia Spring Jubilee and Money Tree among others since 2020.

Scrivner will be considered the rookie of the panel as he will be the only one that has not previously judged The Celebration.  But Scrivner is no rookie and has worked for The Celebration previously at the 2020 Spring Fun Show.  His resume includes judging the National Trainers’ Show, North Carolina Championships, Columbia Spring Jubilee and Alabama Jubilee.

The Spring Fun Show will feature 72 classes across the three evening performances with an addition of two crowd favorite Pick Your Partner classes to help raise money for the legal fun.  Each performance starts at 6:00PM, and the class sheet can be found here. 

The Celebration will also have a sponsor party in center ring of Celebration Arena on Wednesday night.  Information on sponsorship opportunities can be found here. For more information visit www.TWHNC.com or call The Celebration office at 931-684-5915.
