replies. Our five-generation pedigree, begun 12 years ago, has definitely reduced the demand for stud books.
Q— Are owners of sires required to sign applications for registration of a colt?
A— Yes, as a rule the applications must be signed by the owner of the sire and also the owner of the dam. In a very rare instance, the owner of a stallion might get mean about it and refuse to sign an application— or demand an exorbitant fee just to sign such a paper. Then the only recourse that the owner of the mare can have is to go into court on a civil action— and the court can order the sire’ s owner to sign the papers. In some instances when an owner has been so rough about it— the Executive Committee( Board of Directors) does have the power to register the colt under the“ performer transfer clause” that we have in our bylaws. This can be done without the sire’ s owner signing— but it is done very rarely.
Why Are‘ Show Rules’ Necessary?
Q— Why is a Breeders’ Association necessary to adopt rules for shows in addition to maintaining a registry?
A— No organization or sport is any better than its head. If baseball didn’ t have some kind of rules or regulations to go by— why a team might decide to go over to your town next Sunday and say—“ well, we made a new rule coming over here. We are going to have four strikes and out on our side today and three strikes on yours. And if you all don’ t want to play that way, we are not going to play.” The Breeders’ Association is designed to make the rules. It is the head of the Tennessee Walking Horse breed.
The Association sets up the rules and regulations for the registration of these horses. It sets up the rules and regulations under which they are exhibited and it tries to a great extent to keep in close contact with the shows and see that the rules are carried out— 50 every person has a chance to show his horse under a set of rules, and the animal can be exhibited and judged on the merits of his performance.
The show rules are set out by our Judges and Judging Committee and are approved by the Board of Directors before the rules are ever adopted.
Our Association show rules and the Tennessee Walking Horse rules for the American Horse Shows Association— which is the ruling power of 450 major shows in the United States— are now identical. Any time you are showing a Tennessee Walking Horse before a licensed Tennessee Walking Horse judge you are showing under the rules adopted by these two associations.
Hoiv State Associations Affiliate
Q— How can state associations affiliate with the Breeders’ Association?
A— We have a plan for any state group to organize a state exhibitors’ association which is licensed by the Breeders’ Association to operate as a unit in promotion of shows and to see that the interests of the Tennessee Walking Horse breed are properly represented. It is the banding together of individuals who are interested in the Tennessee
