Each feature location is a riding destination viewers can go to with their own horses or the locations are sites that provide horses for their guests. The show covers all of the details you would want to know before you visit yourself, such as the trails and terrain, the footing and the difficulty level of the trails.

Tennessee Equine Association

The Tennessee Equine Association (TEA) was organized to collectively represent the Tennessee Equine Industry with a factual, proactive voice for the protection of, education for and promotion and development within the equine industry in Tennessee.

The Tennessee Equine Association is the official Tennessee State affiliate of the American Horse Council, located in Washington, DC.

The Tennessee Equine Association is proud to be a founding member of the newly formed Farm Animal Care Coalition of Tennessee (FACCT).

The Economic Impact of the Tennessee Equine Industry is not being told. It is one of the immediate goals of TEA to get this message out. The Equine Livestock Industry in Tennessee is a billion dollar industry with over $6 billion dollars in assets on equine operations. According to the latest equine survey by the USDA and TDA, there were over 40,000 equine operations across the state representing over 200,000 total equine with an estimated value of $565 million, accounting for almost $600 million (597.2) in annual expenditures. 

Another immediate goal of TEA is to provide a one stop location for "All Things Equine," by offering a website
www.tnequine.org that is up-to-date and provides current information about any and all things connected to the success of the Equine Industry in Tennessee.

 


Equestrian Land Conservation Resource

Loss of open land has been identified as the greatest threat to the future of all equestrian sport, recreation, and industry. By educating horse people and encouraging partnerships with conservationists and other user groups at the local level, the Equestrian Land Conservation Resource is mobilizing thousands of equestrians to work for land access and protection in their communities. We recognize that without such concerted efforts, the equestrian world as we know it is at great risk.
