Barefoot head-shaking all-natural Tenn Walker Mare

[HavvahartKL]

what a beautiful mare! and i love that you kept her barefoot.

[NaturalJumper1032]

I like the fact that she's barefoot. :) I hate when they weight the feet...

[LittleMustangMare]

beautiful mare. you must trust her to be riding in flips. i had a mustang at one point that i walked barefoot around he only stepped on my foot once and that was when i was unloading him the first time and i had shoes on then XD

[IloveCasperxxx]

pretty :) you have amazing hair :o

[LaurenMaherFilms]

Is 2 1/2 yrs old quite young to be backing a horse. In england we leave it till about 3-4 as their development is pretty much complete in their back and are strong enough to take weight without causing back problems for them when they are older. Not saying you're cruel or us english do it better, just intrigued into how the Amercians see it! :)

@LaurenMaherFilms We have 24-yr-old horses that we started as 2-1/2 yr olds, backed them, trail rode them, side passed, them, and at 24 years of age, they are pushing cattle for us now and trail riding. Apparently, the backing didn't hurt ours! Probably not so much fact as much difference in culture and/or beliefs.

[cookie4me]

Wow! What a beautiful mare! What is this color called? :)

[HorsesRmyDRUGS]

[HorsesRmyDRUGS]

beautifull:D 

[SweetLikeSugar1028]

i am confused on what color coat she is. Is she a roan? she is beautiful none the less

[DisgruntledBadger]

What a lovely filly! She looks so relaxed and happy; it's a joy to see a Walker being ridden the way they ought to be. My one quibble is that the rider seems to be wearing flipflops, which is of course a safety issue.

that horse is cousins to my horse haha

anyway. BEAUTIFUL! natural head shaking i love it and for being so young?? thats a wonderful mover love her already wish i had enough money or id snatch her up haha

[beaum1cah]

this isnt cruel or inhumane. i hate it when they put the weights on the horse and make them suffer by putting diesel on their ankles and pick their feet up. you are a good breeder and rider and definately know what your doing with your horses!!!

[equusreined]

Lovely horse, nice and natural. That's how it should be. :)

[mynabala]

[xevanescencexloverx6]

[biffybilliamson]

what a good looking mare. i like the way you sit.

[LOIS1HORSE1GIRL]

o do u do english saddle u should try it

[lmbassel]

I have a gorgeous 5 year old TWH gelding I trained with love and natural methods who is a dream. Let's run those padded horse trainers out of business! They are ruining this amazing breed and the image they should have over the whole world as terrific all around horses. Chains, pads and soring - it is the disgrace of the TWH world.

[no4go2]

OK lets pretend the only horse i have riden is a QH. then you can explain to me what they use the devices you described are for. We use ours for pushing cattle and mountain type stuff so go from there.

[tennessewalkers]

nice i like and you dont have the stacker on your mares feet i like it i have two tennesse walkers all natural

[djxthexmonferno]

Ah now this is lovely. No pads, no chains, no making her do that goofy high-step thing. Why those "big lick" lovers don't find the beauty in this all-natural, smooth gait I'll never know.

[LiiLemiix3]

is this tölt.?

[Itxx]

this is run walk

[racknfool]

This is the ideal kind of movement that the breed founders were striving for. How lovely he is, gliding along in that wonderful, efficient and easy gait. And his rider is doing a good job staying still and balanced and supportive with her rein contact. (She might want to consider boots and a helmet for safety, however.) What a lovely picture; he looks as if he could go for miles at that nice gait.

[communitypeach]

Yay for barefoot!

[martinfux]

Great and respect for doing it barefoot :) Do you ride often like this?
