About Us

The Tennessee Walking horse can trace its roots back to the time when thereĀ  was a great need for a smooth-going, even-tempered mount to carry riders
over the plantations of the South. Breeders crossed the best of the NarragansettĀ  Pacers, Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, and Morgans, added the Saddlebred
for refinement, and came up with what we call the Tennessee Walking horse .

Originally bred as a utility horse, the Tennessee Walking Horse was used for farm work, transportation, and recreation. They are a hardy breed with great
stamina, often living and working into their twenties.
