The 40th Annual International Pleasure & Colt Grand Championship, scheduled for July 27 - August 4, 2018 is soon approaching and promises to be the year's greatest showcase for the flat-shod Tennessee Walking Horse. As is tradition, the show will be held at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University, 304 West Thompson Lane in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
The show will feature a full compliment of classes including dressage, traditional rail and colt classes, versatility, a few classes just for fun and enjoyed by all ages. This year's show begins on Friday, July 27 with barrel racing in Peewee Barrels, Open Gaited Horse Barrels and Open 4D Barrels.
