On the Rail

Welcome to the WHAM Show Page. This page is about taking our walking horses and proving what they can do in the show ring. “Showing” our horses is to judge our horses against the breed standard of the true walking gaits. It is also about sharing our breeding and training techniques to maintain and improve the natural, sound, 4-beat gait of the Tennessee Walking Horse.

The 2012 Michigan State Championship Walking Horse Show, Michigan Futurity and the Michigan Hey Day Celebration are just around the corner. This will be the last big show before The 2012 Nationals in Ohio. We have a lot of exciting things planned this year including a Luggage Raffle, new vendors, new judges, MOWHA affiliation, new classes and paybacks. Yes – after a lengthy hiatus, paybacks in the preliminary classes are back. We couldn’t do this without the tireless efforts of everyone getting sponsorships and selling raffle tickets and just simply being part of this great organization. This will be the last show of the season for WHAM and we expect it to be very successful. Once again, we are in the Pavilion – all under one roof. The show brochure will go to print in early August, so if anyone plans on advertising, please contact Susan Fenner (suefenner@yahoo.com) (586) 855-8091 and let her know.

Good luck to everyone supporting the Michigan Futurity. It is the 2^nd richest TWH Futurity outside of the National Futurity in Shelbyville Tennessee. These horses are truly the future of our breed and we are glad they are competing in Michigan. Best of luck to all this show season and please ride safe.

Used Show Clothing

Most of us aren't made of money because our horses eat it for lunch! This makes it difficult to purchase new attire all the time. So, for some of us, we search out hte internet, local shops, used tack sales and magazines for used clothing. The following sites are just a few of the places I have found on the internet for quality used attire at affordable prices

www.ebay.com
www.midwetsaddleseatconsignment.com
www.extendedtrot.com
www.ingait.com
www.shopcommotion.com
www.wellsuitedapparel.com

Even if used attire doesn't fit quite perfectly, you can alway have it altered. Eithr way, it's nice to have apparel that you can change up now and then.
