The Tennessee Walker, otherwise known as the Tennessee Walking Horse, Garrett Walker Horse, and other variations upon these themes, is a singularly tractable and comfortable riding horse. The breed was originally bred to carry the owners of plantations around their lands. Their unique four-beat "running walk" is a gait unique to the breed and is especially comfortable to ride, making the breed a well-suited trail companion. The breed is rarely seen in any of the sport horse disciplines; however, they are good for long-distance riding because of their stamina and easy temper, and are also seen in Western pleasure and under harness.
Breed characteristics
The Walker is exemplary in its disposition. It is a remarkably calm and easy-going breed, and is typically easy to train. Although many Tennessee Walking Horses are black, other colours and patterns such as roans, sorrels, bays, champagnes and pintos are common. Recently, the breed registry began to recognize the sabino pattern, a type of pinto, and many horses registered in the past as roans were actually sabinos. Walkers are generally 15-16 hh, but can be as small as 13.2hh or as tall as 18hh.
In conformation, the Walker has a straight profile, with a long neck and sloping shoulders. The head is traditionally large and refined. In the show arena, they are known for their gliding running walk and are usually shown with long manes and tails. The breed, despite being a flashy mover, are quite hardy horses.
