The United Walking Horse Fall Finale, scheduled for November 13-15, 2025 in Tunica, Mississippi, will be a 5x Riders Cup Point Show, making it one of the most valuable Riders’ Cup events of the year. As the final show of the 2025 season, it will serve as trainers’ last chance to earn Riders’ Cup points toward this year’s awards.
The show is the combined effort of the Foundation for the Advancement and Support of the Tennessee Walking Show Horse (FAST), Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA), Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration (TWHNC) and Walking Horse Trainers’ Association (WHTA). Three of the organizations, FAST, TWHBEA and WHTA each selected a judge to join the panel. This year’s judges will be Renee Carlton, Jason Hughes and Thom Meek.
The Gold Strike Casino Resort has once again been selected as the Host Hotel for this year’s show.

As the final show of the year, the United Fall Finale would be honored to host the retirement ceremony for one of our industry’s iconic horses. The ceremony would be held on Friday night, November 14, 2025, and the owner would be responsible for hosting a retirement party following the show. Anyone interested in retiring their horse at the show this year should contact Mark Farrar ASAP at [email protected].
