  • Most tennessee walkers do not move like this, this gait is enhanced with "action devices". Heavy shoes, chains around the ankles, ect. Try to find some videos of lightshod, or barefoot tennessee walkers. To see what the breed is really like. These walker exhibited here, are performance horses, commonly known as padded or big lick horses. They do not by any means represent what the walking horse industry is as a whole. Horses like this arent allowed to show in the north.

  • There is a sore horse in there it is a little black skinny horse with a bigger man on it. It appears to be the left rear.

  • wow - I have been riding for 30 years and have never seen this?!?

    Why are the front feet left so long ... does that make the stride do this?

  • They have to be goverment inspected by a vet before they can enter the arena, I assure you, the horses are fine!

  • thats how alot of the men ride I have noticed. Women usually are more upright, I do anyways.....

  • ...that is such an ignorant comment...such generalization of breeds shows true idiocy. GRANDPrix jumpers don't take rails down b/c they love their job, dressage horses improve piaffe and passage through muscle development...and no, htey aren't ALL in pain everyday from arthritis and joint probs. Only if you force a horse to do something he is physically incapable for/mentally not ready for, will you start to see problems. *rolls eyes*

  • but WHY will you hunch over? I watched a vid of a girl in the World...watever cpmpetition and she was sitting upright; looked very beautiful, IMHO

  • OK, maybe TBs and other breeds go lame from being ridden at 2, but not Walkers. Walking Horses mature faster and have much sounder, stronger limbs than TBs and most other breeds. Most Walking Horses are started at 2 and show until they are 7 or 8, plenty of them show well into their 20s (padded) with no lameness to speak of. What does that tell you?

  • because yankees are dumbasses, i don't want that stuff up there anyway

  • yeah, they do, just not as exaggerated. and if it was that damn simple then why aren't we are trainers?

  • First off, ride one and you'll hunch over. secondly, if you don't support the breed or the means they use to get the gait out of them, then go one somewhere. they are amazing athletes and a joy to own.
