Tennessee Walking Horse Jumps in Childrens Hunter

Bullwinkle, a Tennessee Walking Horse trained by Jon Douglas of Wildwood Farm in East Hampton CT, made his debut in Children's Hunters at 2'3" and placed 6th out of 13. All the errors made on course were his rider's fault, but she is still learning too. Please be kind with your comments this is their first show since training.

i would suggest a crop to keep him up in that canter and maybe some spurs.not becasue im mean but you get points taken off and just for training

[jumpevenhigher]

I had a crop in hand on this course in the picture of us leaving the ring at 2:03 you can see the crop in my hand. My horse does not yet know flying leads so he was preforming simple chances which is aloud at the level i was riding at the time.

How tall is the beautiful Tennessee Walker? I am trying to find out so I can jump my Pure Bred Tennessee Walker that is 15.2hh.

[jumpevenhigher]

Bullwinkle is just about 16.1.

[ashleyandamber926]

see prople dont belive that gaited horses can jump and i have a paso fino and i am training him to jump and do barrel racing

hey you in rhode island???

[jumpevenhigher]

Wow thats really neat! I have a passo too but he is old and just hangs out. No we are in CT

[FredRockyBullwinkle]

Yes, your horse will have to trot to be able to compete. I remember a judge told my daughter she couldn't place her until Bullwinkle trotted without pacing. She cried so hard after that class.

I am to training my walker to hunter jump :D

@LRCG09 - My TWH stallion jumped out of his fence & never touched any of it. He was less than 1 y/o when he did that. He's like 15.1 and now a 15 y/o, as well as over weight...lol! They can do anything, any other breed can! Not only that, they give us the ride of a Cadillac, compared to a dump truck, when it comes to trail or endurance riding! Once you ride a TWH, you'll be looking to own one, guaranteed! :))

[SurprizedDaily]

Awesome to see you showing these people TWH's can do Anything any other breed can do~! What 99% don't know or ever look up is that: the Tennessee Walking Horse is a composition of Narragansett and Canadian Pacer, Standardbred, Thoroughbred, Morgan, and American Saddlebred stock. Originally bred as a utility horse! Once you ride one, you'll own one, Guaranteed! Keep up the great work with that fine looking TWH there :))

that horse is so so BEAUTIFUL.

[LRCG09]

first time for both?? they look really good for their first time. that horse is beautiful. i have a 15.1HH TWH gelding that can jump up to 4', maybe even higher. i also run barrels with him. he loves his job. Tenn. Walkers are amazing horses & can do anything. congrats on the placing too. :)

[gemtwist49]

[twireimoonshine7]
