The Tennessee Walking Horse, also know as a Tennessee Walker, originated in Tennessee. They possess a unique running walk gait. These horses were originally bred by the farmers of Middle Tennessee who wanted to develop a breed of horse that could work in the fields during the day, and give the owner a comfortable saddle gait. The breed gained wide popularity for this smooth gait and it's agility in the rocky middle Tennessee terrain. The versatile Tennessee Walking Horse is suitable for ranch work; they are excellent reining and cutting horses. Tennessee Walkers are also used for driving, jumping, and western style gaming events. And if the owner's preference is the show ring, TWH can compete in Model, English, and Western classes.
