and two reserves. Marilyn MacLeod’s Banner’s Dixie
Belle came home with two first place ties. Jose’s Smoke

McGovern, collected one first and three seconds.
2019 was Kitty Keen’s second show season complet-
ing under the dressage instruction of Scot MacGregor.
After competing in the dressage classes, particularly
Western Dressage, at the TWHBEA World Show and
the WHOA International, Scot really encouraged Kitty
to consider going to Guthrie. Kitty and Dolly Dumas
had never travelled that distance nor been that far
away from home for a horse show. Kitty states, “It was
going to be a big adventure for all of us, including my
husband, Scott”. Scott served as truck and trailer driver,
groomer, stall cleaner, video taker, and all around
major support. Overall, Kitty and Dolly did very well.
They received reserve championships in all their Basic
tests and the Gaited Hack class. They also competed in
a First Level Gaited Open class and were very pleased
with the outcome. Kitty is aready making plans to go
back to Guthrie in 2020. 
 One of the hardest working amateurs in the walking
horse world and one of the most esteemed is Tammy
Steinbrecher. This is the story of a humble gal and
her talented but cast aside horse, The Wicked Wolf.
This team took  the WDAA championship show by
storm. They won six out of eight classes entered and
claimed two reserves. By the end of the show they
were crowned Overall Open Gaited Lower Level Test
Division World Grand Champion. Tammy has worked
the Wicked Wolf by herself and has turned the heads
of the entire dressage horse world as her horse walks
and shakes his way into the blue ribbons. This talented
gelding is by Jana Anderson’s DVM’s  late Wicked Gold
and out of her  good Sundrop mare. He was born  on
the Anderson farm and has won a number of blues as
a rail horse before switching disciplines and learning
dressage.
Longtime TWH versatility competitor Jessica Mar-
lewski hauled two horses to Guthrie, Sarge’s Choicey
Boy and Rowdy Spirit. Both did very well and the
show. Sarge’s Choicey Boy and Jessica claimed two
wins and one reserve while Rowday Spirit and Jessica
brought home one first and two seconds.
All in all the Tennessee Walking Horse was well
represented at this years WDAA World Championship
Show. Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone
that participated!
