This resolution congratulates Bruce MacDonald and his horse Cavender for winning the 86th Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration World Grand Championship, highlighting their significant achievement in the Tennessee Walking Horse industry. The resolution provides context about MacDonald's background as a successful business owner who, along with his wife Robin, became involved in horse showing, and details the horse Cavender's journey to success. Cavender, a colt trained and ridden by Tim Smith, was purchased by MacDonald after being spotted at a preview in Mississippi in 2021, and was named after an Irish term meaning "bold or brave". The horse went on to win multiple competitions, culminating in the World Grand Championship. The resolution honors not only MacDonald and Cavender, but also their trainer Tim Smith, commending them for their contributions to the Walking Horse industry and the State of Tennessee. Additionally, the resolution includes a standard provision for preparing an official copy of the document for presentation, with instructions about how the document should be formatted when requested.
