| Each year the M & CC holds a charity event for raising the necessary funds to carry out our mission. For the fifth year in a row, we feel proud that the Geraldine C.M. Livingston Foundation has again given us a special opportunity to host a horse show and festival at the famous Dixie Plantation in Greenville, Florida. The Livingston family owned Midnight Sun, perhaps the most prestigious Tennessee Walking Horse to have ever lived. The plantation mansion with over 14,200 sq. feet was designed by the noted architect John Russell Pope. Dixie Plantation was the first home to the life-size bronze statue of Midnight Sun.This statue is the only life-size statue of a Tennessee Walking Horse in existence. The statue is now standing in front of the TWHBEA office is Lewisburg, Tn. This horse show and festival will be October 1 - October 5, 2008 |
