The Tennessee Paint Horse Club continued with its successful 2018 show season with their Independence Shows I & II held July 14-15, 2018 at the Tri-State Exhibition Center in McDonald, TN. The weather was near perfect for July and there were two full days of good horses and good competition. The youth were well represented and there was quite a battle for the youth high points each day. The youth organization also sold tickets for their TjPHC Fund Raiser, a custom cowhide TPHC saddle stand donated by Cowhide Customs. These tickets will continue to be sold until the drawing at the October show; the winner does not have to be present to win, and shipping will be arranged.
The TPHC is looking forward to the rest of the 2018 show season with the next show, the September 29 Fall Colors show at the Tennessee Livestock Center on the campus of MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN. The Fall Colors show will be a four-judge show. The final show of the season is the October TPHC Spooktacular Final with two judges at the James E. Ward Agricultural Center in Lebanon, TN. This show will feature the second annual Chili Cook Off on Friday night, October 26 along with Trick or Treating for the kids, and a costume class.
