You've done well in preserving the
history of the breed. I've been associated with this breed
since 1963. My folks brought the first Tennessee bred and
trained horses to California in the 60's. In 66, they won
just about every show in California including the Grand National
at the Cow Palace. My father promoted the breed in
California and then in Tennessee and Mississippi until his early
death in 1985. He spent 22 years promoting the breed in
every way possible. While you won't find his name on any
website or in a book, Stan Reames did as much or more to promote
this breed in its early days than anyone I know. Most of
the barns of those days are gone, but I lived through those days
and remember it well. As I read about the problems the
people associated with the breed are having, I'm reminded that
really nothing has changed in these past 40 years...people are
still complaining about judging, how they are chosen, the "soring"
issue and we all know they still!
are as they were then...they just hide it better now. Walkers West
has done a wonderful job with their website and in promoting
this wonderful breed. My thanks from an old timer of the
breed. Jess S. Reames |

as an eleven yr old child my father
gave me for christmas one year a beautiful tn. walker named
harmon's merry queen. we lived together for 19 wonderful
years until her death at home of old age. i am now 41 with
4 years old twins, and i would like to get them a horse that is
the direct decendant of my precious merry queen. can you
help me find a horse to buy for them? she was registered in the
tn. walking horse ass., however, my father never put her papers
in his name as we could not afford any luxaries. she is a
direct decendant of merry go boy, merry legs, wilson's allen,
and many others. how do i find a horse from her line to
purchase? |

Hi there mam. I really love
your site; alot of good info and education there. I
come back to your site alot for references. I would love to ad
your site to mine as a reference link. I have just
purchased a number of ss and tn walkers over the last year.
I have shown 3 of them..one of them has my heart..
one I'm going to keep. She is from the Ebony
Masterpiece/Mack K line looks like your Bummin
around only smaller and might be more compact.
I have a direct Pusher son who is the biggest pet
that I own..lol I also have a wc trail pleasure
double registered blue papered ss, Hawks Designed Prince...who
is very flashy and looks like your Powder tn
walker. Since July of 2002, I have
learned how to ride and show the tn walker... oh how fun.
I have also taken lessons twice a week and am teaching my
16 y/o TNn walker mare dressage... Its fun and a real
challenge...she seems to like the TN walker bit a
lot more than the snaffle. Yes, I would like
to be a pioneer of getting more people doing
dressage with their tn walkers...I would like to see more
dressage tests included in shows. I went to the
Celebration for the first time and inhaled big
lick...and all kinds of tn walkers for 12
days...wow... I even sat on the bleachers in a rain
storm watching these horses work and show.
They are absolutely gorgeous.. just don't like the
soring stuff that continues to go on. When I came
back to CA, I got myself a 2 year old Dumas colt who
has been on pads for about 8 months... and actually
am learning to ride a big lick... wow what a
thrill. I love the gentleness, and
personalities of the tn walker... and once my
kids are all grown up.. want to start my own farm or
boarding facility. I'm due to retire next may from
the military and plan on going back to pcola, fl then.
I would love to continue to working and finding my place
in the tn walker industry. If there is anything you
can advise me or share.. please respond to my email
addy above. I see you have a new trainer on your
site....Trainers come and go huh? But I really
love your site.. Holly |

More people know of my sister, Kim
Pringle (Arden, Ontario, Canada), than of myself, but I have to
say.... wow what a site.
When my sister speaks of Walkers from days gone past, her eyes almost
glaze over. I could listen to her forever, (or until she
gets a sore throat). Finally, she said to me, if you want
to know the history, look it up, it is all at your fingertips.
She was right, not only is it informative, it is comprehensive
(which I was totally impressed by).
I am glad that your site is out there, because if I can access it
(computer illiterate) than so can anyone else bitten by the bug,
or any new people to the breed.
Keep up the Preservation

I have enjoyed your website very much, especially the
information about the old show & breeding horses. You might
remember talking to me about JOE WEBB at my book table at the
WISER FARM sale in SHELBYVILLE. If you ever need information on
any horse, I would be glad to help you as I have most all books
& magazines that have been published since 1936. Feel free to
call on me at any time. GRATEFULLY KEN MOORE |

Hi! My name is Elise and I am 12

Prides Secret Chance, and Go Boys Lariat are there names. I
ADORE your website! It is my favorite! I check it out at least
once a day, often twice or sometimes more. I work at Cheveaux
training stables in Oregon for a Mz. Diane Gueck. Walkers are
the best horses and I love your Champion list. I am thinking of
maybe some day breeding one of my mares when she gets older to
Bums Warrior or Powder River. Anyway, I really like your site
and your devotion to walkers. Bye. |

Hi,
I just want to say how much I enjoyed your excellent web-site! I
am thrilled to know you are located in Texas. I to live in
Texas, near lake Lewisville (35 minutes north west of Dallas). I
am just beginning my search & horse education to determine what
breed I want to focus on for future purchase. I have always
LOVED the Tennesse Walker, and always admired the beauty and
intelligence of "Champion" and "Trigger, Jr.".
I know Tennessee Walkers are very versatile, but can they be
taught how to dressage (spelling?) or Hunter Jump (small jumps-I
am too old). I know that these question might sound stupid, but
I'd appreciate your expert opinion. It wouldn't be the end of
the world if they are not known for participating in these
events, I simply have not been exposed to any other showing
events.
I am very impressed with the walker's reputation of being
intelligent, and very gentle and easy on the back. I am in my
late 30's, and I want a gentle, and smart horse that is
psychologically more balanced, yet is still fun to ride and
maybe show.
Thanks for your time, and I love your web-site!!!

Hi, I enjoyed your site, I adore
Standardbreds so go looking for anything on them. My own is a
darling she is 15.3 pure bay called Dancer. Lincoln Adios, out
of miss Lincoln and sired by meadow Adios, Grand sire Hurricaine.
Its a shame really as she's a spirited 15 yr old but a big pet
and ride . She had one foal sadly reg p/b cleveland bay. I'm
afraid few share my love of Standardbreds here in UK unless
racing. Adore your pitch black for sale will come back for her
when win lotto. Keep up good work

I have visited your web site... it's
great! I am 60 years old and I like horses. At home, there
are now two and I had more before during the last 20 years.
Though I like to take care of them and to see them running on
the land, I would like also to ride. So, I would like to have a
very quiet gelded male over 8 years, well trained only for walk
(I don't want to jump). I have also two grandchildren, aged 1 &
3 years, the second like horses as I do. However, I think it
isn't possible (due to the farness) to have one of your horses.
The travel would involve some suffering for the horse and maybe
one high cost. Do you think so? Thanks in advance! And friendly
greetings from Spain!! |

You all have the nicest looking
horses I have ever seen in my life. My favorite on is Powder
River. I have always dreamed that I might have a black and white
paint of my own!! Someday I hope to purchase on from you. |

Thanks for the info on the Tennessee
walking horses. Midnight Sun
is the great grandfather of our new additions (2), our first
walking horses. We just purchased them today and hope to have
many years of enjoyment with them. Thanks again, We enjoyed it
tremendously... |
