HOW THE TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE BREED ESTABLISHED AND RECOGNIZED IT’ S FOUNDATION HORSES
We have had many requests for information regarding the establishment oi the Tennessee Walking Horse registry and especially as to“ how55 the foundation horses were selected. Ima *, me the confusion that would arise If
we were to try to establish a new breed of horse and a group of interested individuals was to sit down and discuss outstanding animals that should be accorded“ foundation” status. This is exactly the situation that was presented in April of 1935 when the Breeders Association was organized and those men responsible for obtaining official recognition from the U. S. Department of Agriculture Animal Husbandry Department, sat down to establish their“ Foundation” horses. Needless to say, each man probably wanted“ his” horse to be the Number One Foundation Sire.
Horses were discussed at length and the most important consideration was given to those horses who had a record of producing outstanding colts that had, in turn, become outstanding producers. A lot of the horses listed as foundation horses had been dead for many years when the Breeders Association was organized and were rated by“ reputation” alone. As the men assembled came to an agreement, a total of 61 horses were designated as Deceased Sires and Dams and were given F-numbers in the first volume of the Stud Registry printed in 1938. Other horses were added to the list as their production was rated until 1950. Registry numbers as assigned began at 350001. The first two numbers of the registration number signifying the year the horse was registered.( This still applies.) Foundation numbers ran
UP to 115 and it was decided to halt the listing of Foundation horses at this point. One horse was later removed from the list by action of the executive committee, leaving a total of 114 Foundation Horses of the Tennessee
Walking Horse breed.
