Tennessee Walking Horse Breed Profile at Charity Show
The Tennessee Walking Horse was developed in Central Tennessee and recognized as a distinct breed by the U.S. Bureau of Animal Husbandry in 1951. It will be shown at Coon Skin Park during the Fourth Annual Charity Horse Show hosted by the Charleston Saddle and Bridle Club and The Gazette. The breed began as utility and pleasure stock and now shines as a show ring performer with three gaits: flat foot walk, canter, and running walk. It is a sturdy, even tempered horse valued for strength and endurance and must go straight in all gaits with no hindquarter twisting or pacing.
