At our heart, we are an organization for the horse. We promote all aspects of the gaited horse breeds we represent including: Tennessee Walking Horses, Racking Horses, and Spotted Saddle Horses.

Our membership-driven organization commits to serving our communities each year through our passion of showing gaited horses. We have two charitable causes: The Ronald McDonald Foundation of the Carolinas and the SCWHA Scholarship Program.

The SCWHA supports all local horse shows within the South Carolina area that feature gaited horse breeds. We offer an affiliation program for high-point, year-end awards and distribute awards annually at our awards banquet. Proceeds from the silent auction are used to fund charitable donations made to The Ronald McDonald Foundation of the Carolinas and to support scholarships paid to local high school students.

The South Carolina Walking Horse Association, Inc. qualifies as a charitable organization under the Internal Revenue Service Code Section 501(c)(3) and therefore, all contributions are tax deductible. Pursuant to IRS regulations, the South Carolina Walking Horse Association has not provided any goods or services in exchange for this gift.
