The Annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration competition began today in Shelbyville. The event brings over 200,000 visitors and $38 million to the area. 1500 horses will compete over the next 11 days. There's also new rules this year aimed at preventing abuse of the animals. Each horse will be thoroughly inspected before and after each event.
"Each horse will be swabbed so they can be tested and if any horse is found to be in violation that horse and trainer will be disqualified for the balance of the show," says CEO Mike Inman.
Violators will also be stripped of any prize money they were awarded. The USDA will assist in the inspection of the horses.
