Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' And Exhibitors' Association (R)

The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association (TWHBEA (R)), headquartered in Lewisburg, Tennessee, is the official headquarters of the breed, as well as the oldest and most prestigious organization devoted to the promotion of the pure breed. Founded in 1935, the breed registry was established as a 501c5 not for profit organization to record the pedigrees of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Its goal is to maintain the purity of the breed, promote greater awareness of the Tennessee Walking Horse and its qualities, encourage expansion of the breed, and help assure its general welfare. The TWHBEA International Board of Directors is dedicated to the sound horse. We do not support practices in violation of the Horse Protection Act in the development and training of the horse. The TWHBEA International Board of Directors supports the sound and compliant horse in every one of the breeds' numerous disciplines.
