How to choose the right horse farm for Tennessee Walking Horses in the US?
Choosing the right horse farm for Tennessee Walking Horses involves evaluating several critical factors to ensure the horses' health, training, and welfare. Tennessee Walking Horses are known for their unique smooth gaits, elegant conformation, and calm temperament, typically standing between 14.3 and 17 hands tall with distinctive gaited movements that require knowledgeable care and training. With over 45 years of TWH experience, the staff at Carolina TWH Equine Farms understand these breed characteristics and maintain high standards in breeding, training, and welfare which are best suited for these horses.
What makes Tennessee Walking Horses unique compared to other breeds?
Tennessee Walking Horses are unique primarily because of their distinctive running walk, a smooth, four-beat gait where the horse oversteps its tracks with a gliding motion, providing a comfortable ride especially suited for long hours in the saddle. This gait is natural and inherited, not taught, and is characterized by a head nodding motion and over striding of the hind feet beyond the front hoof prints.
Other unique traits include:
-
Calm and Gentle Temperament: Tennessee Walkers are known for their docile, even disposition, making them suitable for riders of all experience levels.
-
Versatility: They are used for pleasure riding, trail riding, showing, and some ranch work, excelling in various equestrian activities.
-
Distinctive Physical Features: They typically have a well-muscled, balanced build with a long neck, short back, refined head with small ears, and strong coupling. Their conformation supports their smooth gait and stamina.
The breed originated in the late 18th century in Tennessee by crossing several breeds such as Standardbreds, Morgans, Thoroughbreds, and Pacers to combine strength, stamina, and smooth gait qualities. They became popular on Southern plantations for their comfort and versatility. In summary, the Tennessee Walking Horse’s combination of the smooth running walk gait, calm temperament, and versatile abilities distinguishes it from other horse breeds.
