Tennessee Walker Horse

The Tennessee Walking Horse is used for:

Very popular in show events, English and western riding, They are also very popular trail horses.

The Tennessee Walker horse can wear western and English tack.  The Tennessee Walker Horse is one of the smaller horses with good and quiet temper. This breed of horse is a good family breed.

Have you ever seen a Tennessee Walker Horse show? If you have there is a way to make them lift there legs. It is called soring

After you have watched this video a girl scout did a project on the Tennessee Walker Horse. On how trainers sore a horse and how painful it is for the horse.

When I was watching this video, I thought “I would act the same if it was me” so think as if it was you as the horse.

Pleas help these horses from this cruel act!

  1. Thank you for writing this, I had no idea that this practice existed even though I have seen video of “dancing” horses many times. You are helping eradicate this barbaric practice. Animals were not put here to be hurt for our amusement.

  2. Thank you!
    I had no idea what soring was and I had no idea harm was done to a horse to make them perform.
    I really thought the horses were trained to walk that way. Thanks again!
