The ETWHA board of directors and executive board would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to; exhibitors, trainers, spectators, sponsors and anyone that participated. The saying "it takes a village" is an understatement when putting on a show of this magnitude. We could not do this without YOU!!

ETWHA Mission Statement
- The members of the East Tennessee Walking Horse Association are a diverse group of people with a common goal. To some of our members the walking horse represents their chosen profession. To others the horse represents their greatest pleasure. The goal of all of us is to secure the future of the walking horse. This is our highest priority.
- Since any organization is made up of individuals with varying opinions and viewpoints, the situation demands of us that we work in the spirit of commitment, cooperation and most importantly unity. Therefore, we agree that to the best of our ability we will do, not what is best for us as individuals, but what is best for the walking horse.
