50 Years of Style and Grace Mark Annual Charity Horse Show

Tennessee Walking Horses -- the luxury ATV of the Old South.

Bred for comfort, endurance and style before the Civil War, Tennessee Walkers gave their passengers a smooth ride on all terrains, reaching speeds from 6 to 12 mph without breaking a sweat. Not only could keep up the pace all day long, they looked good doing it.

They still do. And this weekend, some 100 horses will bring that style and grace to the Marshall Arena for the Marshall Lions Club’s Annual Charity Horse Show on Friday, Feb. 24 and Saturday Feb. 25.

It’s the 50th year for the free event, which benefits a number of the club’s charities, including a camp for diabetic and handicapped children and three annual scholarships for local students that provide up to $2,500 in financial assistance.
