The 76th Annual West Tennessee Strawberry Festival Horse Show Humbolt, TN- The 76th Annual West Tennessee Strawberry Festival Horse Show was held on Friday, May 11th at 6:30 pm. The location of the show was the Chalmus Davenport Arena in Humboldt, TN. The evening was filled with great horses, friendly faces and delicious strawberry shortcakes! The show originally was scheduled for Friday night, but due to the weather forecast show management postponed the show until Saturday. The judge for the show was the honorable Frankie Jo Bradley. He had the job of marking the cards for classes that included model, performance and flat shod divisions. There were 10 Riders Cup classes as well. The Strawberry Festival was affiliated with MSHSA and SHOW HIO. Taylor Walters had an exciting night by claiming four blue ribbons at the West Tennessee Strawberry Festival. Three of those blue ribbon rides were back to back! That is a Saturday night that should go down in history! Show Manager Vicki Benjamin put on a great event along with the help of many others. The final class of the night was won by Bee Bee King and trainer Jimmy McConnell riding for owner Rachael Costaldi. Reserve in the stake went to Jail Time with Michael Wright in the irons for Sammy and Gayle Cagle. The Scoop was proud to be a part of this fun event and support a show that has been a hit for 76 years! The strawberry shortcake made the trip worthwhile and seeing our customers blue ribbons smiles!
