The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association/ Equestrian Activities
The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association (TWHBEA), headquartered in Lewisburg, Tennessee, is the oldest and most prestigious organization devoted to the promotion of the breed. Founded in 1935, the breed registry was established to record the pedigrees of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Its goal is to maintain the purity of the breed, to promote greater awareness of the Tennessee Walking Horse and its qualities, to encourage expansion of the breed, and to help assure its general welfare.
There are more than 430,000 registered Tennessee Walking Horses throughout the world and the breed has become the second-fastest growing breed in the nation.
TWHBEA protects the investment of Tennessee Walking Horse owners by establishing policies and requirements, and maintaining the breed registry. A 12 person Executive Board, selected from the more than 100 Directors representing members in all 50 states and several foreign countries, plays the key role in establishing these policies.
The success and popularity of the Tennessee Walking Horse is the result of careful organization and strong leadership by the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association, and it is the essential organization for the continued success of the breed. Fore more information contact:
