Master Breeder Awards

Master Breeder Awards
The highest and most prestigious recognition given to a breeder of Tennessee Walking Horses, the
Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association Master Breeder Award recognizes
those breeders whose body of work over an extended period has had a significant and long-lasting
impact on the Tennessee Walking Horse breed. The recipients of this award have been chosen by
a dedicated committee. This year one living and two deceased Master Breeder Awards were given.
The following is what was read at the awards banquet.

Poison
Plants

Every horse owner should be aware of the dangers of natural poisons,
plants that can be found growing in pastures, along fence lines, and even your front and back lawn.

By Bonnie Davis

Afew months back a friend called to tell me selves working to, as they jokingly put it, “support
of the death of their beloved mare. It was a a horse and a half.” When they weren’t working

The purchase of the mare was really more than
Bill and Mae could afford. And along with the stud fee But when driving up the driveway from work
paid for their “first addition,” they both found them- one evening and seeing the mare down in the
pasture, they instantly knew something was wrong!
Mae rushed into the house to call the vet while Bill
went to the mare. As Mae came out of the house,
Bill returned and simply stated, “She’s dead.”

Within 30 minutes the vet arrived. He examined
the mare and could find no visual means of death.
No marks as if attacked by animals. No cuts or slashes
as if she had somehow gotten tangled up in something
and bled to death. So with Bill and Mae’s permission,
he had the carcass removed to his clinic where he
performed an autopsy. Two days later when the vet
called to report his finding, both Mae and Bill charged
out of the house with a vengeance and began tearing,
ripping, digging and uprooting the neatly pruned and
flowering white and pink oleander bushes along the
driveway and fence line.

According to the vet, the mare had died of plant
poisoning – specifically, oleander poisoning, plants
which Bill and Mae never knew were poisonous to
horses. Since they kept the plants heavily watered, the

So the easiest way to answer the question, “What is a
toxic level?” is to eliminate poisonous plants.

Normally, a horse in its normal grazing pattern
will avoid eating toxic plants such as oak leaves or
ragweed because most of them do not taste good.
He won’t seek these plants unless there’s nothing else
to eat in the pasture. So, one way to eliminate plant
poisoning is to check the pastures to make sure all
poisonous plants in the area are physically removed,
uprooted and killed. The second way is to make sure
pastures are maintained so there is always ample grass
to graze. This can be done by rotating pasture use so
one pasture will not become grazed down so low as
to kill the grass, watering pastures to encourage grass
growth in the dry months, and planting additional
grass seeds or grass varieties to ensure an all-year
growth. And once you spot a toxic plant beginning

Basics To Consider Before Building A Barn

By Brad Woodruff, VP Owners, Exhibitors, International
So you have finally bought that acreage in the country or grown your horse herd to the point of needing or
wanting to build a new barn. Barn buiilding is a learning process. So before you get too set on your ideas
about your “dream barn” you need to do some research. This article is intended as a first step in that process
and admittedly serves to point out the obvious and covers only the barest of basics.

Research

There are a number of books on barn building and design that are a must read before talking with a contractor
or considering doing the job yourself. Do a google.com search and browse Amazon.com its all there. Unless
you are an experienced builder with access to heavy equipment and skilled labor, contracting the job yourself is
almost always a bad decision. It will not save you money, in fact it will probably cost you more in the long run.
Building a barn is an awful lot of work and you will have to live with your mistakes for a long time!. Trust me,
bid out the job to a reputable company that specializes in barns and outdoor buildings-- that guarantees the
work, the materials and that completes the job on time. Ask for references, then go see the barns and talk to the
owners. Ask about the person’s experiences and satisfaction with the builder and look at their barn very care-
fully for worksmanship and design. Ask the owner what he/she likes/dislikes about the barn and what they
wish could be different, or what they would do differently next time. Take notes and the time to visit several
finished products built by the company(ies) you are considering..

Type and Style

Ok, so assuming you have an idea of the type of barn i.e. probably post and beam or pole barn; and what
style barn you want e.g. Gambrel, Dutch, Monitor etc., and some preconceived notions on size and cost---
start putting the pencil on paper for your floor plan. Keep in mind, that you will always find a use for more
square footage in the future than you will have envisioned. Do you want to store hay - square or round bale--
ground level, two story or loft? Side wall heights of 10’ 12’ 14’ or greater will need consideration. Do you need
interior walls for a tack room, office, wash rack, breeding area? Do you want an inside arena? … it goes on
and on. The only limit is your imagination and finances.

126

Measure twice, cut once

One thing for certain, to have to go back and add on addtionals “bays” to a barn after it has been built, is
considerable more expense than building the right sized facility in the first place. So plan for the optimal size
you can possibly afford…and then go bigger! You need 12’ x 12’ box stalls, don’t be tempted for cheaper and
smaller 10’x10’s. Stalls must be across from each other or side by side with bars in the dividing walls. Stalled
horses have to see other horses when stalled or they can develop neurotic behaviors. So, for breeding stallions
or mares due to foal that are not daily turn outs, a 12 x 24 (double) stall is recommended for greater freedom
of movement. This double stall option can be fashioned with removable dividing wall inserts as needed. You
will not regret a 14 -16 ft. wide work aisle. So the number and postioning of your stalls, work and storage areas
will dictate the width, length and height of your barn. Suggestion: Price your barn with and without the stalls
included, build a big enough building to leave room for future stall additions or holding pens as may be need-
ed or finances allow.

Site location, site drainage, site preparation

You should choose a location that is, or will be, all weather accessible via a good rocked road with ample turn
around space in front, behind or around it to handle a large truck and trailer rig. You may not think you’ll
ever have need for a semi-trailer to come to your barn, but, think again, your builder is not going to deliver
roof trusses in a mini van! And, a big truck with a 20 ft gooseneck trailer is a likely given at some point in
your barn’s future..
Your barn building site must be raised level grade, not located in a flood plain or low area that would invite
rain runoff or snowmelt to enter your barn. Conversely, if you plan to have running water and something other
than a dirt floor in the barn you need to plan drainage so that waste water can leave your barn.
There are a number of options for drainage, the most basic is a a field tile floor drain that can tie into a gutter
downspout tile that runs waste water away from the barn. Also pretty basic is a gravity fed french drain ditch
about two feet wide that runs downhill 3 to 4 feet deep and is filled with wash rock laid over a septic field tile
system. Once the barn is up and stalls are in you install one of several urine permeable stall flooring systems
topped with bedding.
If you are planning for an office, lab, or living quarters with a bathroom, you will need to plan for plumbing,
electrical service and a full septic system with enough surrounding acreage for laterils. In temperate climates,
as you dig your trenches below the frost line for water pipes, consider laying underground wiring (in the same
trench), If you plan for automatic stall waterers, bury your water line and electric line to prevent freezing. Plan
for electrical outlets on the exterior stall fronts. Have a large enough electrical service installed to accommo-
date lighting or lighting upgrades later on if needed. Your stall drainage system can feed to the septic tank- no
need for two systems, but remember you still must run your downspout gutter rain water away from the barn
with field tiles.

127

Will your barn have a concrete floor? If so, all the plumbing and underground wiring need to be stubbed in or
roughed in prior to pouring. You will need a 4 inch crushed road rock bed, wire or ribar and visqueen vapor
barrier as an underlay to keep a 4 inch slab of concrete from floating or cracking. This must be decided prior to
your site gradient work to compensate for the 4 inch rockbed and the 4 inches of concrete that will be poured
after the building is erected.
Orientation and postioning of your building before preparing the building site is important to consider. Will
you have sliding doors on both ends of the building to allow you to drive a truck or tractor through the build-
ing? You will be glad if you do. If you are in a Northern or temperate climate, will you place a side wall to the
North wind? If you are in a Southern, arid desert or semi tropical climate, will you face your barn East-West
to have the sun’s hottest rays off your uninsulated side walls?

Ventilation

Barns and horses need air ventilation-- either natural or mechanical. Roof ridge vents, overhanging roofs
and eves with ventilated soffits allow air to enter and exit a closed barn. An auxilary exhuast fan in a cupoloa
can move stale air out and draw fresh air in during hot or cold months to help keep your horses comfortable
or keep odors at bay. Functional dutch doors and windows that can be opened can also give needed natural
ventilation. Opening doors on both ends of your barn to form a breeze way gives great air flow and allows
the building to stay cooler during the heat of summer. In the winter, with doors closed, an insultated ceiling
with ridge or soffit ventilation are a must for stalled horses. Their respiration and waste will create moisture/
humidity that will condense on the inside of an un-insultated metal roof and either freeze or drip. This type of
situation can lead to respiratory illness, colds and fevers.

Conclusion

There are many things to consider before building a new barn. Probably the most important aspect is the
choice of a building contractor. Location and ease of access are critical for a convenient and functional facility
. Proximity to good access all weather roads with a barn road entrance and exit or turn around is a key con-
sideration. Site preparation, drainage, utilities and other services to the building need pre-planning and in
most instances pre- preparation or installation before the actual barn building begins.
Basic features for horse health and safety must take priority over other amenities. It is hoped that this article
either provides you with new information and insight to consider when building a barn or validates some of
your assumptions or thinking on the subject. Best of luck! I hope you build that nice, big dream barn you
have always yearned for; and may you always have the means to pay for it and the good health to enjoy it.

The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association, in association with FAST, is
proud to announce the re-establishment of the Youth Medallion Program. This class encourages
youth riders to learn and become proficient at the canter. It is a great way for our industry to regain
the canter, and to reward our youth for achieving excellence at this level.

Youth Medallion classes will be offered at various horse shows throughout the year. There will be
two divisions, performance and pleasure, each division with its own end-of-year award. Riders will

T WHBEA Youth
Medallion Class

The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and
Exhibitors’ Association is proud to once again
offer the Youth Medallion Program for the 2021
show season. This class encourages youth riders
to learn and become proficient at the canter. It is
a great way for our industry to regain the canter, and to
reward our youth for achieving excellence at this level.
Youth Medallion classes will be offered at various horse shows throughout the
year. The Medallion program consists of two divisions, performance and plea-
sure, each division with its own end-of-year award. Riders will receive points
determined by their placings in these two divisions, with the rider accumu-
lating the most points in each division receiving an educational scholarship
valued at $500.00.

Guidelines for the Youth Medallion Classes are:

• Open to all youth riders, age 17 and under (age as of January 1).
• Ownership of the horse is not required. Stallions are not allowed.
• Two Medallion Classes exist, one for Flat-Shod horses and one for Performance horses,

performing all three gaits - flat walk, running walk, and canter.
• The rider, not the horse, accumulates points awarded for placing and participating in th

class. Therefore, riders are not required to show the same horse throughout the season.
·
• A $500 college scholarship will be awarded in each division to the rider accumulating

the most points for the current year.

Points of Interest for Show Managers

• There is no cost to a horse show to provide these classes.
• All medallions, ribbons, and payout will be provided to the horse show.
• Payout for medallion classes will be $75, $50, $40, $30, $20, all paid

by TWHBEA.
• There is no entry fee to be collected for Medallion classes.
• At SHOW affiliated shows, the inspection fee for Medallion

entries will be $5.00.

Any horse show manager interested in adding
Medallion classes at his/her show should contact

TWHBEA Welcomed Delfina
Garay-Casas from Puebla, Mexico

The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and
Exhibitors’ Association welcomed Delfina Garay-Ca-
sas from Puebla, Mexico, June 8th, 2021. Delfina is
a young woman from Mexico with classical training
in horemanship, who makes her living professionally
teaching equitation and various forms of riding. Del-
fina was here to apprentice in a program sponsored by
the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, The United
States Department of Agriculture, The U.S. Livestock
Genetics Export, Inc. and the Tennessee Walking
Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association.

She spent the month at Circle T Stables in Shel-
byville, Tennessee working with and receiving in-
struction from owner Laurie Toone. She forcused on
the further development in the natural gaits of the
Tennessee Walking Horse, so she could help the grow-
ing number of Tennessee Walking Horses in Mexico
achieve their full potential. With her knowledge she
hopes to increase the demand for registered Tennes-
see Walking Horses in Mexico.

TERM AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Directors shall be elected not later than the first day of November of each year. Their term of office
shall commence at the annual December meeting of the membership to be held as set out in these Bylaws. The method of election, the number
of Directors to be elected, the notice to be given for said election, the nature and extent of any oath of office which may be required and the
methods of enforcement thereof, and all other matters relating to same shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, and the same rules
and regulations governing the said election shall be effective in each state or region. Each Director shall be elected for a term of three (3) years.
No person elected as a director in the United States shall be eligible to be a Director for more than two (2) full consecutive terms; however, a
person may serve more than two (2) non-consecutive terms as a Director.
Section 4. QUALIFICATIONS AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS.
Each Director shall possess the following qualifications:
(a) Each Director shall be a resident of the state or region from which he is elected;
(b) Each Director shall be eighteen (18) years of age or older at the beginning of the election period;
(c) Each Director must have been a dues-paying member of the Association for at least the past three (3) consecutive years;
(d) A Director may not be serving a USDA-initiated and finally adjudicated Horse Protection Act suspension of thirty (30) days or longer or
have served any such HPA suspension in the last 365 days, nor be serving any HPA suspension of thirty days or longer from any USDA certified
horse industry organization during the Director’s term or his/her term will be terminated;
(e) Each director must take and at all times conform to the oath of office extant at the time of the director’s election and as amended at any time
during the term of office;
(f) Each potential Director must have had at least one horse duly registered with the Association for a period of one year, commencing as of
August 1 of the preceding year to be elected, and must keep at least one horse continuously registered throughout the duration of the election
period and the term.
For horses registered in the name of a Corporation, the name of the owner of record on the registration form or on the transfer form will be
honored. Partnership horses will not qualify any of their owners for election. A horse owned by a married couple, either jointly or severally,
qualifies either spouse for election, but only one spouse shall be eligible for election if the married couple only owns one duly registered horse.
To ensure compliance with all required qualifications, a monthly audit may be made on all directors by the TWHBEA. If any director is found
to be non-compliant there would be allowed a “grace period” of 60 days to comply. At the expiration of sixty (60) days, and if no other horse was
registered to that Director, that director would be removed and replaced with the next alternate from his/her state or region.
A director may be removed from his office by the Board of Directors for just cause. “Just cause” shall be defined as a violation by the director of
any By-Law, Rule or regulation promulgated herein, or of any state or federal law affecting the Walking Horse breed and/or any show, exhibi-
tion, contest or competition, or sale relating thereto.
Declared directors are all partially validated at the time of editing this magazine. The official ballot will only include those fully vetted candi-
dates for each state and region.
