Entrants from six states will be on hand Saturday for the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association Midwest Regional Futurity at Flickerwood Arena in Fruitland.
Over 50 entries are expected, from weanling colts through 3-year-olds. Among those will be weanlings raised by Don C. Heuer of Cape Girardeau, whose colts were sired by the high-point stallion from last year's show.
The Futurity will be held in the morning, beginning at 10 a.m. A Versatility Show will be held in the afternoon and will include jumping, barrels, poles and a driving class.
Admission will be charged.
A clinic for people interested in Tennessee walking horses will be held at the arena Sunday. Trainer Sherrie Szucs of Bellevue, Ohio, will conduct the clinic, which begins at 9 a.m. and includes lunch.
Participants can bring their horse and receive personal tips or can attend and just watch, according to Becky Huck, one of the organizers.
