The Horses
The Tennessee Walking Horse began to evolve around the 1700s. It
is a composite of several breeds including the Canadian Pacer, the Narragansett
Pacer (which is currently extinct), the Morgan, the Saddle Horses and several
gaited Spanish breeds. The Tennessee Walking Horse of yesteryear plowed
the fields during the week or was comfortable enough that the rider could supervise
the operation of a plantation all day, pull a wagon to town for supplies on
Saturday and took the family to church on Sunday. The Tennessee Walking
Horse is a true breed (as opposed to a color or type of motion).
Today's aging population is choosing the Tennessee Walking Horse more and
more for trail riding because of its comfortable natural gaits, gentle even
disposition, intelligence, size, color and conformation. In addition to
the feature of other horses, the Tennessee Walking Horse has the flat walk,
running walk and canter like no other horse. It is truly the most
wonderful ride of your life.
All of the horses at The Farm can be traced back to the original
Tennessee Walking Horse foundation horses.
