‘We think we’ve seen the bottom’ – Marshall County Tribune

“The last decade has been difficult for the Tennessee Walking Horse industry, but the acting executive director of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association sees signs of hope.

“We think we’ve seen the bottom,” Walter Chism told the Tribune.

Last year, after years of decline, the Lewisburg-based TWHBEA saw 174 more mares bred than the previous year. Chism calls that a “leading economic indicator for the horse industry,” and so any increase is seen as a positive.

Foal registrations through March of this year are up 7.9 percent compared to the same period in 2014, from 774 last year to 983 this year…”
