giving them perfect balance with correct shoeing.

The Tennessee Walking Horse is known as the “World’s Greatest Show, Trail, and Pleasure Horse,”
and the Performance Show Horse is a show ring star! The calm, docile temperament,

combined with naturally smooth and easy gaits, make it the perfect mount for even the smallest child.

The Tennessee Walking Horse continues to prove itself as one of the most versatile
horses. The breed’s gentle disposition, kindly manner, and willingness to please make
it the perfect mount for showing, trail riding, jumping, barrel racing, pole bending,

reining, pleasure driving, and other versatility events.

The Tennessee Walking Horse adapts easily to English or Western gear. Because of the easy gaits
and even temperament of the breed, this Plantation Horse can be ridden comfortably for hours on the trail.

The Tennessee Walking Horse was developed by Tennessee farmers to pull their family carriages
and wagons and to check on their crops. The breed gained wide popularity for the ability to stride

faultlessly over the hills and through the valleys of the rocky Middle Tennessee terrain.
