About the Tennessee Walking Horse Breed
.Although the official name of this horse
is the Tennessee, it is better and more popularly known in America
as the Plantation Walking Horse, which indicates the special
purpose for which it was produced, to carry the farmers and
planters of the South at a comfortable pace over their plantations.
Like the Morgan Horse, this breed owes its foundation to one
powerful prepotent stallion (known as ‘Black Allan’,
from his colour) a Standard Bred trotting stallion of mixed
Hambletonian and Morgan ancestry. Foaled in 1886, he was taken
to Tennessee as a colt, and like ‘Justin Morgan’
the progenitor of the Morgan breed, had a long life at stud
and produced numerous progeny, mainly from the Tennessee mares
of mixed Thoroughbred, pacing and saddle-horse strains. He was
a sire of great prepotency, reproducing his type regularly and
carrying on the blood with all its power in succeeding generations
with constant uniformity. The breed was a natural production
from the needs of the place and times, and established itself
as a most popular and useful type purely on its own merits.
The Walking Horse is a much heavier and more powerful animal
than the American Saddle Horse, and is generally larger, stouter,
more robust and less elegant than the latter. The head is large
and plain, neck rather short, body and quarters solid and massive,
with heavier limbs. The prevailing colours are bay, black and
chestnut, while roan is common and greys are also found. He
is temperate by disposition, intelligent and well-mannered.
His principle characteristic, from which he derives his name,
Walking Horse, is the running walk, fast, easy and enduring,
the gait that is so much favoured by the Southern farmers and
planters. Careful training is needed to develop the true running
gait, which is liable to turn into the ‘pace’ if
pressed.
In addition, he also has other paces: a good ordinary walk;
he canters well; and is a good trotter in harness. Members of
this breed have for a long time been widely used for agricultural
work on farms, as well as for riding, and are undoubtedly first-class
general-purpose animals, useful on the farm, between the shafts
or under saddle. In weight he runs to 1,000lb and over, and
in height is seldom below 15.2 hands.
