WHOA Encourages Donations to The Callicutt Family
Wednesday, February 18, 2026
Our hearts are heavy as we share that one of our own has suffered a devastating loss due to a barn fire on February 15, 2026— a disaster resulting in the loss of 36 horses, tack, and more. The Callicutt family has given so much to the Walking Horse industry over the years, always supporting others with kindness, generosity, and dedication. Now, it’s our turn to support them.
The Walking Horse Owners’ Association is donating $1,000 to help this family begin to rebuild. We invite each of you to join us in showing your support by donating any amount you can. Every dollar will make a difference and will go directly toward helping them recover from this tragedy.
Let’s stand together as the Walking Horse Owners Association and support this family during this very difficult time.
Donations can be made to:
John Callicutt
351 Highway 82 East
Bell Buckle, TN 37020
Anyone wishing to donate through Venmo, please send to @ann-callicutt. If you choose to Venmo your donation, please take a screenshot of your donation and text it to Beverly Burgess 931-703-5378 or Carrie Benedict 270-590-5285.
