WHOA Service Horse School
Franklin, Tennessee • June 13 - 17
2018 Service Horse clinic held at
the Williamson Co. Ag. Expo was
another success. We had partici-
pants from around the Mid-south

the use of the Expo’s air-conditioned
facilities during the June hot weath-
er. Our week rapped up with our
