That is a beautiful sight. I hate to say it this way but this whole picture just says classy. There is no extreme. This is the way a walker should be. It is beautiful. It looks like a million bucks.
Horses do NOT need shoes, shoes cause to many problems, most race trainers and owners dont even realise, even when their horse breaks down. metal shoes prevent the hooves from absorbing the shock, thus on hard ground leads to hairline fractures which then leads to cracks which then leads to horse collapsing and breaking down. Barefoot is best, they will adjust to the conditions, lovely video! Great Horse! Thumbs up if your barefoot!
Good for you!That just looks weird,and uncomfortable, the length and weighted shoes.Your horse moves so smoothly,and the gait looks so comfortable and natural.As i understand it,TWH are fabulous horses for people who are a bit timid about riding,and also for people who have back troubles.Is that your experience,with temperament,for the most part?Of course every horse is different.As for the back thing,seeing how smooth the gait is says it all
Now THAT's TWH! Thank you for posting. The crippled spiders winning in the showring are a perverted parody of what these horses are actually about. Smooth, intelligent, amazing horses.
@AnimalLeftist This is what the TWH was originally bred for. To carry plantation owners over long distances at a gait that was easy on the rider as well as the horse. That crap you see at Shelbyville and in the big show rings should be outlawed with the pads, chains and soring.
This looks like a lovely horse, not like the ones that have been messed about with to make them look so uncomfortable, why not just leave them beautiful as they are in their natural state? x
Thank you for posting this. I just finished watching that pathetic crap when people put weights on these horses feet and whatever the hell else they do to exaggerate their gaits and I nearly puked on my computer screen. Pathetic excuses for riders too. I'd love to see one of them jump on my Warmblood/Thoroughbred cross and try riding forward with no leg...see how far that gets them...
This is the right way to maintain the grace and true gait of the Walking horses. The stacks create a fake gait that ruins the breed as more pacey horses do better in stacks while more naturally gaited horses do not. Get rid of the horrible stacks, celebrate the natural Walking horse. Love my Walking horses
It is so nice to see a TWH not being sored or having their feet waited. Doesn't that look a little more natural than the horses picking their front feet up to their ears and practically walking on their hind legs? He's a nice looking horse. :)
I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see this. When I had horses (I'm currently in school so sold my mare) I was at a barn where a women with a "Show" walker was boarded. That poor thing had no fewer than 6" of pads and chains on his ankles 24/7. I'm glad to see not all TWH folks feel the need to force their horses into high hells and make them wear chains. You've got a nice horse there. Exactly what the breed SHOULD be.
Soooo much better than those shod freaks that the big lick people show off. They are so ugly and contrived and unnatural! So refreshing to see it done correctly and in naturally.
this is how all gaited horses should be... naturally gaited! Its beautiful to see them go comfortably. no cheating with cruel shoes and psychotic training methods... Im not saying that gaited horses are the only horses that go through crazy unneeded and harsh training, some people in every other equestrian dicipline has done crazy stuff too and no one should resort to training a horse in any harsh and cheating way. its sick.
ahh it´s amazing to see at least one TWH which is not sored!! great, thumbs up!! they are so much prettier without these horrible shoes, weights or whatever. this doesn´t look attractive at all, it looks unnatural and strange. you did a great job!
looks like me when i wanna get some where but dont feel like trotting xD haha!! <33 loce how graceful that was the baby was like what the heck are you looking at xD
Amazing! I might be getting my first tenn walker who was a show horse. But he had the pads and big lick (whatever that is) and all that. He's been off the padded shoes and his hooves are finally looking normal again.
I am riding Tennesse Walking Horses too and I have seen a lot of terrible videos about cruelty with these beautiful horses. the walk of this horse is very nice. :)
Beautiful, what a lovely looking horse, and so clearly enjoying himself! This is the image which should be associated with the breed, rather than the big lick walkers
out of all the horses in the world i would want this breed. there amazing. i was just researching breeds of them and clicked on this. beautie. if i was to buy a horse i would buy one of these!
beautiful! I love to see this and not a TWH being sored into a wrong position or their hoofs nailed to blocks ... ugh. thank god there are some people out there that are NOT into that TWH abuse!
Frankie looks like a dream to ride :o) I've owned Walkers for approx. 15 or so years now & can say I've never even thought about padding any of them! NATURAL is the Only way to go! Where are you all located? Virginia here....cheers
i ride a twh for my horse back riding lessons and i think that all horses are perfect without walking like maniacs sorry if that doesbt make any sense im sorta confussed right now
thank you for posting this so every one that thinks those heavy shoes are natural can see there niot and this is one nice cared for preety natural twh
Stunning boy with a lovely natural gait (so why do those barbarias abuse them with those jacked up shoes?) You should be ambassadors for the breed. But shame you´ve not got helmets on!!! :-)
I don't want to get into a helmet debate but my concern would be more the foot apparel. no heal foot slips into the stirup and the rider is dragged.. helmets for the kids I won't argue with but for adults it's their head let them decide.
more importantly when I see how smooth their ride is I sometimes wonder why I still use quarter horses.
Now that is a really nice gaited horse. All natural the way they should be. My beautiful TWH mare will also gait barefoot just like this horse.She also gaits all by herself just moving across her pasture.Love it!
Ppl who like to bounce around don't get it. I myself would get a TWH in a minute if it were always barefoot and had this smooth gait. I'd like to do CTR or Endurance someday.
he looks like he's just gliding across the ground...a friend of mine used to own a TW but i never had the pleasure of riding her...gorogous though i must say
SO much nicer than those show horses with all the pads. He/she looks happy and relaxed.

One, at all shows every horse is vet checked if they even flinch or act sore to the touch the can't show. The soring is illegal at legit shows.
