A Video of the Tennessee Walking Horse

Remember the post about the Tennessee Walking Horse? As we do with every breed, now it’s time to watch the Tennessee Walking Horse in action.  Amongst the thousands of videos that exist out there, I chose for you an informative video produced by the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ & Exhibitors’ Association. The video is in fact a compilation of clips which feature historical representatives of the breed. It shows us beautiful short films from past generations, when breeding and training a horse was a small farmer’s business and had little relevance to today’s profit-hunting and the extended exploitation and abuse.

Watch carefully how natural and relaxed horses and riders were back then and how gracefully the natural extended pace is done as a result of this natural relaxation.

So, what has impressed you so far about the Tennessee Walking Horse?
