Message from Mark Taylor, WHOA Executive Director...
The 2024 International went extremely well. The total number of entries was 1789 which is down very slightly from last year. We were pleased with the great quality of horses and had a substantial increase in the number of entries for Championship Classes. Our Judges did a great job with 46% of the 1st place ties unanimous by the Judging panel. This year's show featured several exciting extras including a great 2024 Maiden Championship, The All Day Pleasure Challenge with 2 Divisions for 2024, the International Speed Horse Grand Championship, and the Dr. Ann Johnson Canter Challenge.
Thank you to all the folks that make it happen including the Sponsors, Exhibitors, Staff, and especially the great volunteers!
We have exciting news for next year's International! Thanks to the great staff at Tennessee Miller Coliseum we will be able to expand the show schedule for 2025! This will enable us to re-align classes in order to help our exhibitors have a better experience. Tentative dates for next year's International are July 15-26, 2025.
