Lewisburg, TN – At the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA) Executive Committee meeting held May 24, 2012, a motion was passed to designate the next year “The Year Of Midnight Sun.” This special period of recognition will run from May 26, 2012 through May 26, 2013 and will mark the last year of the 10-year contract with Dixie Plantation that brought the beautiful Midnight Sun statue to the TWHBEA Commemorative Garden. During this dedicated year several special initiatives devoted to the great stallion will be launched including articles and photos in the Voice Magazine as well as on the TWHBEA website and special Midnight Sun centered activities at TWHBEA events. Thought by many to be the greatest Tennessee Walking Horse, Midnight Sun was often referred to as the Stallion of the Century. TWHBEA looks forward to honoring this great horse over the next year.
