What are the traits of Tennessee Walking Horses?
- The most prominent characteristic of Tennessee Walkers is their swift and smooth "running walk." This gait is inherited and cannot be taught to a horse who does not possess it naturally. It is a square four-beat gait with a gliding motion, and a bobbing of the head and swinging of the ears accompany each step. When performing the running walk, these horses will overstride, placing the back hoof ahead of their forehoof print. Traveling at speeds from 8 to 18 miles per hour, Walkers can sustain this gait for long distances without fatigue to themselves or their passengers.
- Walkers are affectionate, gentle and intelligent animals
