Horse Haven of Tennessee

"Neigh & Bray"
   "No Show, Horse Show"  

 Virtual Horse Show

90 degrees...sweating uncontrollable while you groom your mount...struggling to put on your formal riding attire...wondering if they'll ever call your number while you try to stay cool and collected...

Any of this sound familiar? Well have we got a cure for those horse show blues. Your camera or special pictures could win you a blue ribbon or special prize while helping the horses in the care of HHT. A win-win for everyone.
