As you plan your 2026 horse show season, the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ & Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA) encourages all show managers to affiliate their events with the TWHBEA International High Point Program.

There is no cost to affiliate, and affiliation ensures that exhibitors, youth, and owners receive full recognition for their participation while providing valuable promotion for your show.

Why Affiliate Your Show?
By affiliating with the TWHBEA International High Point Program, you guarantee that:
Points earned at your show count toward the TWHBEA International High Point Program.
Your show is listed and promoted on the TWHBEA website, social media platforms, weekly e-blasts, and the official show calendar in The VOICE magazine.
Show results are included in each horse’s official TWHBEA show record in our database and iPEDs.
Youth exhibitors earn points in halter classes toward the TWHBEA Youth Challenge Cup Program.

Additional Opportunities for Affiliated Shows
Affiliated shows can further enhance participation and exhibitor interest by:
Becoming a World Series Show, which counts as double points for the TWHBEA Versatility Program.
Offering Youth Medallion Canter Classes, with TWHBEA providing the medallion, ribbons, and prize money.

How to Affiliate
Shows must affiliate at least 30 days prior to their event.
