The TWHBEA National Futurity is the premier showcase of this breed’s youngsters and it is the richest purse of any one-day event in the Tennessee Walking Horse industry. “The TWHBEA plans to dedicate significant resources in 2008 to the long-term expansion of the National Futurity. With a focus on sponsorships and plans for a multi-day event, the prestige, as well as prize money, will increase considerably. The purse is determined based on nominations, interest-income, and stallion sponsorships less show expenses. This year we were able to reduce show expenses by slightly over $5,000” said Chuck Cadle, TWHBEA Executive Director. The 69th annual National Futurity is being affiliated by the TWHBEA with R. Craig Evans managing the inspection process. The Horse Show Manager will be Chuck Cadle with Lori Puckett serving as Executive Assistant. All exhibitors will be required to have a TWHBEA Show Card.
