Dear Sir :
“ The greatest pleasure horse in the world is the Tennessee Walker . Actually I believe , if trained , they could do better than some of the horses I have seen on race tracks . They can be a fine working horse and a good game horse . Even a horse that can be used in the mountains for hunting .
Many people go to a horse show , a stake class and sec the fine stake horses and then are disappointed when they buy a Tennessee Walker that doesn ’ t have the stake horse gaits . These gaits arc artificial and very few people can afford to train them and keep a stake horse . We must educate the public that average Tennessee Walker is a pleasure horse and wc should see more in print that the stake horse gait shows the efforts of many hours of extensive training .
A new foal in the Walker class will be dropped with the true gaits . If not ,
34 with a little effort , these pits can be brought out . However , if the tiue Tennessee Walking gaits cannot be developed . vou will still get a better n4p than from any other horse alive . 1 he average disposition of a Tennessee Walker is such that it isn ’ t many years after thev are trained for riding that you will have a fine child ’ s horse .
One must realize that with horses as with people , there are idiots and morons . If one is unfortunate enough to get this type of horse no amount of training will develop anything as the potential to remember is not there .
One of our Western horse trainers starts out by teaching a young horse to hop into a pickup as the first lesson . If the horse is not gentle enough and will not take this training , he will sell tht ' horse in auction ring rather than train it any farther .
Our Tennessee Walkers load this way and all of them have been trained to shoot off of . Again , the pleasure horse is a true Tennessee Walker . The Tennessee Walking stake horse is equivalent to the Rolles Royce in the automobile field with many thousands of dollars worth of accessories . If you are going to buy a horse be sure it is a Tennessee Walker . I think a Purebred horse is cheaper to own than a broncho .”
