UCWHA makes a donation to Dekalb County FFA.

During the recent Upper Cumberland Walking Horse Association Annual Horse Show, Dekalb County FFA helped with admission, collections and arena gates. To show our appreciation UCWHA is making a donation to Dekalb County FFA. The members of the Dekalb County FFA did an excellent job, without their help we would not have enough manpower to host the show and we always enjoy having them at our shows. It also introduces their members to the Tennessee Walking Horse and the process to show a horse.

Pictured below is UCWHA President Jimmy Sherrell presenting a check to Dekalb County FFA President Casey Taylor.
