4 • Walking On
New At This Year’s
International
The Walking Horse Owners Association and
American National Insurance are pleased to an-
nounce the first annual:
American National Insurance Maiden
As a debut to their show career the “American
National Insurance Maiden” will be a Two-year-old
Open Trail Pleasure, Optional Tack class reserved
for horses that have never been shown under saddle.
“The Maiden” will run as the first class on Wednes-
day Night at the 41st International Grand Champi-
onship horse show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The
International is looking forward to hosting this new
class that guarantees to bring a new level of exciting
competition to the show ring.
Entry fees and other added monies will go into
a jackpot which will pay out 100% with 50% to the
owners, 50% to the trainers of each placing horse.
The final payout will be calculated after entries close.
WHOA will make the public aware of further incen-
tives to the entries as they become available in the
coming months as we are quickly adding jackpot and
trophy sponsors.
Pre-entries for “The Maiden” are due to the
WHOA office on or before July 1st, 2019. An inau-
gural entry fee of $250.00 for 2019 has been select-
ed. Entries not received prior to July 2nd will not
be accepted. Entries are non-refundable and are
non-transferable from horse to horse, but do follow
a transfer of ownership. Two-year-old’s previously
shown In Hand are eligible for “The Maiden”. How-
ever, two-year-old’s previously shown under saddle
are not, this includes classes prior to Wednesday
evening at The International.
Modeled after the extremely successful American
Quarter Horse Congress Masters Class, it is our hope
and intention that “The Maiden” will grow to be a
staple of the International. We strongly encourage
owners, trainers and spectators to take part in this
groundbreaking event for our industry.
