This breed became a distinct type and worthy of a dis­ tinct name soon after the early settlers of Tennessee came across the mountains from Virginia and the Carolinas with a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other, fearing God and being watchful of the Indians, but determined to make a home in the new-found wilderness. These sturdy pioneers brought with them a hardy stock of saddle horses, and among them was an occasional Thoroughbred stallion or mare. It was from this beginning that the Tennessee Walking Horse came into being after an influx of the Rarragansett pacer had left its imprint in breeding. Here amid the natural surroundings of hills and valleys, of fresh-felled trees and stones, this new horse began to “walk and nod” and today this rhythmic move­ ment is a “thing of beauty and a joy forever.” The history of these horses is a long and honorable one, and their line­ age of proud inheritance is as warm-blooded as that of any breed in America. A Triple-Capacity Horse These early settlers needed a horse to serve them in a triple capacity—that of riding, driving and going general farm after a semblance of roads came into being and the wilderness began to give way to cleared fields and cultivated hillsides. The Tennessee YValking Horse today still con­ forms to this three-fold requirement, but it is now largely an animal of pleasure and not one of wide utility. However, the same abundant strength, great endurance and willing­ ness to work is still a part and parcel of its general makeup and nature. When Tennessee was young in the Sisterhood of States, and during the period of the South’s development following the Civil War (and even today, in some instances), this great horse took the “circuit rider” to rude houses of wor­ ship where he preached to a rural people; it carried the country doctor to the home where a new life was ushered into being, and later helped to educate the child by taking it to and from the one-room schoolhouse on the hill. It transported the beaux to the doorsteps of the belles throughout a long and faithful period of courtship; it drew the buggy or carriage to the wedding; aided the man in the transaction of business in his more mature years; and finally pulled the wagon or hears to the last resting place of its master or its mistress. The Tennessee Walking Horse has truly served its breed­ ers and its owners “from the Cradle to the Grave.” Yet, it is for its ability to afford pleasure under saddle that this great horse has become favorably known through­ out the world; and in this somewhat effece and rather blase motor age in which we live today, men and women are turning in increasing numbers to the Tennessee Walk­ ing Horse as the seasons roll by to find pleasure and health­ ful exercises that no luxurious car can give. For the sheer delight of riding and for beneficial diver­ sion in the saddle, this horse gives the minimum of human enjoyment and stands supreme in the equine world for its (Continued on page 8)
