Tennessee Walking Horse (TWH)
Post by Demon's Gate »
Known for their distinctive gait, the Tennessee Walking horse plays an important part in the history of American gaited horses. Their bloodlines were influenced by the plantation economy and needs in the southern part of the U.S. during the early to mid 20th century.
Recognized as a an official breed in 1947, the Tennessee Walker is a newer North American breed.
Mid 19th century settlers in the states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri needed horses to compliment their southern plantation lifestyle. They required endurance and the ability to withstand long hours under saddle from their mounts.
The bloodlines of the Tennessee Walker contain Narragensett Pacer, Thoroughbred, Standardbred, Morgan and Saddlebred blood.
The Tennessee Walker of today is larger in structure than its cousin the Saddlebred, and predominately used as for show and pleasure.
