In August Jackson Christian seventh grader Madalyn Smith continued her family’s tradition of competing at the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in Shelbyville, Tennessee.

   

Riding her award-winning horse, Willie Twilight, Madalyn placed in the top three of every competition she entered this season to earn a spot as one of only a dozen riders in her age group to compete. Riders from all over the United States competed for World Champion and World Grand Champion titles at the 82nd annual event.

   

A Jackson Christian Eagle since kindergarten, Madalyn is grateful to have the love and support of Tyler Baucom and Baucom Stables in her corner.

   

Jackson Christian congratulates Madalyn for keeping everything in stride!
