At The Celebration we want to do what we can to assist in that and our Fall Classic panel will allow two judges their first opportunity to judge a Celebration sponsored show,” said Celebration CEO Warren Wells.

The 86^th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration will be held August 21^st through August 31^st and will once again host over 2,500 entries.  The total number of pre-show entries was 2,536 matching the total from 2022, which was the first time in 12 years that the Celebration had topped 2,500 entries. 

The total number of entries is 34 entries higher than last year and the total this year is a 25% increase just five years ago.  “My goal the last two years has been to pass that 2,500 entries mark.  We did it first in 2022 and that was the first time to get above 2,500 since 2012. I’m thrilled we are over 2,500 and that we surpassed the last two year’s numbers. I can’t thank our trainers, exhibitors, and owners enough for supporting our World Grand Championship show” said Celebration CEO Warren Wells.

The Celebration added a late entry deadline this year for the first time.  The late deadline was used by 28 entries in total, 13 of which were Maiden entries at the International last week.  The Celebration previously announced that Maiden entries could use the late deadline with no penalty due to the fact that championship was not held until after the original Celebration deadline.
