The Tennessee Walking horse was developed by plantation owners around the middle of the eighteenth century. The development of the Tennessee Walking horse was the result of the desire to breed a horse that always provided a comfortable ride. Tennessee Walking horses are famous for their four beat running walk or gait. According to Jenn and Matt at the Dream Walker Ranch, the Tennessee Walking horse stallions are often bred for shows and competitions. The breed has produced a large number of competition winners. Originally the breed was good for riding and working around the plantations, but in recent years has been rated as a top show horse.
Today, the Tennessee walking horse is the top choice for ranchers and also for endurance riders. The gentle nature of these stallions makes them an ideal choice for riders that are handicapped. Whether you are looking for a mild mannered smooth trail riding horse or a show horse, you can’t go wrong with these particular stallions. Bred to be calm and to provide a comfortable ride, they are ideal for both beginning and seasoned riders. The Tennessee Walking horse is extremely popular with horse lovers.
The Tennessee Walking horse, like those sold at the Dream Walker Ranch, is a selectively bred stallion that was the first horse to be named for a state. The first national celebration of the Tennessee Walking horse took place in Shelbyville, Tennessee in 1939. The largest showcase and the largest show for the breed still takes place every year in Shelbyville. The annual show lasts for eleven days and is considered to be the largest of its type in the world.
Also of interest, if you are looking for a stallion to mate, it is good to know that some of the Tennessee Walking stallions are more fertile than others. According to the people at the Dream Walker Ranch, problems can occur when mating is not undertaken naturally. Stallion sperm is shipped to places all over the world and the fertility of that sperm can be affected by conditions on the vessel in which it is shipped. Stallion sperm is frozen for shipping, and unless it is kept at an optimum temperature, the fertility will be affected.
One of the best things about the stallions and geldings sold at the Dream Walker Ranch is that they are exposed to a variety of terrains. When you go to purchase a horse from Jenn and Matt, you can expect full disclosure and experience for yourself the horse’s ability to cope with different environments. Jenn and Matt want you to feel comfortable with your horse, and will work with you to find the perfect fit for you.
