Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse - August 2020

JoARnemnembDering owell
JoAnn Dowell had a true love for the Tennessee Walk-
ing Horse. She was a great ambassador for the breed, as well
as, a very giving supporter of the industry, leaving quite a
legacy when she passed away June 1, 2020, at the age of 91.
JoAnn was born in Huntington, West Virginia to Asa and
Orlena Garland. She attended Randolph Macon Women’s
College and The Ohio State University, where she graduated
with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Microbiology.
JoAnn was the proud owner of six world champion and
seven world grand champion Tennessee Walking Horses. In
2019 her aged stallion, I’m Mayhem, was crowned Tennes-
see Walking Horse World Grand Champion and JoAnn was
named “Owner of the Year”. She was also named TWHBEA
Performance Horse Ambassador on more than one occa-
sion.
JoAnn and her late husband Glenn Coe Dowell, Jr. were
residents of Canton, Ohio and left quite a legacy that will
continue through the many scholarships, including the
Randolph College JoAnn Dowell Scholarship Fund, The
Walking Horse Trainer’s Association Scholarship and the
Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors Associa-
tion Glenn Dowell Scholarship.
JoAnn is survived by her only daughter, SueAnn Dowell;
grandsons, Tyler Schott his wife Sarah, Chandler Schott and
his wife Stacie and great granddaughter, Sylvie Schott.
JoAnn will be missed, but her memory lives on in the
Tennessee Walking Horse industry. Our condolences to the
Dowell Family.

Great Show, Just A Little Rain.
The 44th Annual Marshall
County Horseman’s Associ-
ation Horse Show was held
Friday, July 24, 2020, at the
Marshall County Expo Cen-
ter in Lewisburg, Tennesssee.
Chris Zahnd served as judge
for the 34 classes with 216
entries. The evening was pleas-
ant and then the rain came,
continued for a while and then
stopped leaving a very muddy
mess, but the show went on.

The new team of Reserve World Grand
Champion Master’s Razzel and Jazz and John
Allan Callaway claimed the title of grand
champion for owners the Alan Riddley Fam-
ily. MP2 and Jerry Beaty took reserve honors
for Rising Star Ranch.

The Marshall County Horseman’s Associ-
ation has partnered with the TWHBEA youth
association TWHYA to work the gates and
the money goes to their scholarship fund.
Due to the Covid-19 instead of charging for
entry to the show they only asked for dona-
tions to the scholarship fund. Everyone was
very generous and over $3500 was added to
the scholarship fund.

RonRaemlemYberinog ung
Ronal Edward Young for Shelbyville, Tennessee passed
away July 18, 2020 at Nashville VA Medical Center at the
age of 70. Ronal was born October 2, 1949 in Chatsworth,
Georgia to the late John Edward Young and Jean Young
Poarch.
Ronal graduated from Murray County High School and
attended tech school in Pickens County, Georgia before
joining the U. S. Army. Due to his father’s involvement in an
automobile accident Ronal was honorably discharged early
so he could return home and take care of his family. His
father was a Tennessee Walking Horse trainer and after his
return home decided to follow in his footsteps and trained
horses for 56 years. Ronal had many exceptional horses
such as Ebony’s Big Time, Ebony’s Midnight Bom, Sun
Lady, Handshakers Professor, Mark’s Bobby Sue and Ebony
Threat’s Professor, just to name a few with which he won
multiple world championships. He helped many amateur
and juveniles to great careers in the walking horse industry.
Ronal enjoyed trail riding, camping, his dogs and loved
to spend time with his daughter and watch his grandkids
show horses and play sports.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Judy Young;
mother, Jean (Bob) Poarch; daughter, Beth (Josh) Lawwell;
and his grandchildren, Jessica and Johnathon Lawwell.
The walking horse industry has lost one of the greats
and he will be missed. Our condolences go out to his family.

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 promul-
gated herein, or of any state or federal law affecting the Walking Horse breed and/or any show, exhibition, 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 candidates for each state and region.

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 receive
points determined by their placings in these two divisions, with the rider accumulating the most points
in each division receiving an educational scholarship valued at $500.00. Payout for Medallion classes
are a medallion and money as follows $100, $75, $50, $40, $30.

Guidelines for the Youth Medallion Classes:
• Open to all youth riders, age 17 and under (age as of January 1).
• Ownership of the horse is not required. Stal lions are not allowed.
• Classes are for Flat-Shod and padded Performance Show Horses, performing all three gaits -
flat walk, running walk, and canter.
• The rider, not the horse, accumulates points awarded for placing and participating in the class.
Therefore, riders are not required to show the same horse throughout the season.

Any horse show interested in offering medallion classes should contact TWHBEA at (931) 359-
0592. Affiliation forms are available at twhbea.com under Youth Forms.
