Hiwassee College Equine Instructor, Kara Graham, Wins 2014 Lite Shod World Grand Championship

Written by The Bingham Group

This year, Hiwassee College Equine instructor and Monroe County native, Kara Graham, took home first place in the Lite Shod World Grand Championship at the 76th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration held in South Central Tennessee.

This event takes place over the course of eleven days preceding Labor Day, and it is held to recognize the most elite Tennessee Walking Horses. Kara’s horse is named, “Simple Lee Dangerous,” and won not only the Lite Shod World Grand Championship, but also one additional World Grand Championship and three World Championships throughout the eleven-day show. As a winner, her horse received a neck of roses, and she took home a medal, a trophy, and best of all – a championship title.

Kara has grown up around horses her entire life. As a little girl her family would trail ride, but it was in 4th Grade when she became part of 4-H that her love for horses really grew. She had gone to horse shows her throughout her life, so winning a show was an amazing feeling for her. Graham attended Hiwassee College and studied Equine Management Training, graduated, and now works as a riding instructor at Hiwassee equipping students as they pursue their career dreams.
