Smooth Ridin’ All Terrain Vehicles!
From sure-footed trail mounts, to mild mannered 4-H projects, to
high –stepping show ring performers.
The Tennessee Walking Horse has impressed the world with its
gentle disposition and
kindly manner, and continues to prove itself as one of the most versatile horses.
The breed easily adapts to English or Western gear and
is the perfect mount for
riders of all ages and levels of experience.
Already a favorite for recreational use, this gentle breed is also becoming the
mount of choice for the rancher, endurance rider, field trial enthusiast,
mounted patrol units,
handicapped riding programs, and outfitting operations.
The Tennessee Walking Horse performs three gaits—the flat walk, the running
walk, and the canter. The natural, four-beat gait provides a smoother ride than a
horse that trots or paces. One foot remains on the ground at all times. This
footfall absorbs the shock and is the reason for the smooth ride. The hind legs
function like a pair of scissors, driving underneath the body in an overstriding
manner. The overstride allows the horse to cover the most amount of ground with
the least amount of steps, and is unique to the Tennessee Walking Horse.
