All of our horses offered for sale are owned by and reside at Evening Shade Farm, Shelbyville Tennessee. We do not offer for sale consignment, horse sale or trade horses. If we don't believe enough in a horse to invest in him/her with our money, why should we expect you to believe enough in that same horse to consider investing in him/her with your money to have as your next companion and trail/pleasure partner? And we would not consider placing any horse until we've lived with them long enough to know who they really are and how they respond to all the many different aspects of their life. That's not something anyone can know in just a few days or weeks, even though some sellers will take your money for a horse before they've had them long enough to need the farrier - sometimes before they've even seen them in person. These are not horses that we just got in last week or month, from some horse sale, or long distance by the trailer load  from some "horse traders/ brokers" who told us how "trail worthy" they are supposed to be. Ask any potential seller where and from whom their horses come as well as how long they've owned and ridden them personally because you have a need, and a right, to know.  We know all our horses well. These are horses that we (David and Lisa) personally checked out and tested before choosing and purchasing them. On average, we look at 12-15 horses to find the "one" that we will ultimately choose to bring home, spending most of our "spare time" traveling all over meeting new people and horses in search of those really special horse partners. With the rare exception, all of our horses are registered "Tennessee Walking" or "Spotted Saddle" as we have found that year after year after year they are the best all around trail/pleasure breeds to be found, bar none. Most of our horses for sale are born and raised here, purchased as yearlings and raised here, and have lived with us sometimes two years and more. Their mouth/teeth are done professionally, they are up to date on vaccinations and wormed every other month, eat Winner's Cup Advantage feed and top quality hay twice daily, are shod and ridden by us, and are a part of our daily lives and our family. As the pictures and videos will show, our gaited trail horses are never ridden in "long shank bits", "gag type bits", "twisted wire bits", or any other harsh style of "Walking Horse" bit and/or using lots of hold with tight reins/curb. All of our gaited trail horses are taught to work first in a plain "snaffle bit" with no curb strap/chain for a very light touch. Only when they fully know and understand what is expected are they finished off with a very mild "Argentine" style snaffle for that last little bit of primping. Our horses have normal feet with NO long toes or low heels, NO weighted or oversized shoes and are shod to their natural conformation the same as any normal trail horse of any breed should be. Because every horse is a unique individual, our descriptions, videos, and personal insights are original and specific to that horse and not cookie cutter style with just the name changed or some slight variation inserted here or there. Every horse is described as honestly and accurately as possible. We can relate how a particular horse behaves in our experiences because we know them all very well. Lisa and I are the ones that do the feeding, clean their stalls, and groom/shoe/ride them each personally. These all important hours with them are not entrusted to anyone else. We will never tell you that any horse we offer is "BOMBPROOF" or resort to "trader gimmicks/ tricks" but can tell you that our horses are ridden and tested regularly by Lisa and me, not some hired "cowboy/girl", in actual real world trail riding situations and they have proven themselves to be as solid and steady as any living/breathing horses could be. Because we start out with innately calm/laid back NON-SPOOKY horses, they don't have to be "trained" not to spook or scare, so we spend our time riding and having fun teaching new trail skills. We will not embellish with bogus terms or exaggerated claims just to get someone to unwittingly place their safety and trust in a particular horse. You are welcome to come here and test ride any horse you like, pictures and videos are available for viewing, pre-purchase exams before a horse leaves our farm by any vet of your choice (at buyers expense) are welcome, and references from previous buyers will gladly be furnished. Just like you, we want the fit/relationship between horse and human to be a total success so we'll have numerous questions for you just as you will for us. Each of our gaited trail horses have their dental records, shoeing records, AVID microchip registration, a current Coggins test, and are furnished with a brand new health certificate for traveling. Horses are livestock and there are inherent risks involved with any horse you purchase. If you are not prepared to accept those risks, please do not consider a horse from us. No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied. Thank you for visiting our site.

As the videos will show, our horses are without any doubt trail ridden in the real world of hills, water, logs
dogs, etc. We feel that it's very important to actually ride and use these horses on real trails and we show you
with videos which are taken by us (David and Lisa) out on real trail rides. We don't stand on or crawl under
our horses (we could), but we do extensively expose them to real trail challenges which is what truly matters.
I almost always take the trail videos from horseback while either sitting on and/or riding down the trail. The
views will sometimes be a little shaky even though I am most often riding hands-free guiding with my legs so
that I can use both hands to "stabilize" the camera. Maybe someday I'll get some high tech hat-camera...Ha


Every one of our horses is grain fed twice daily for as long as they live here to promote optimum health/fitness &
 so they will feel/look their very best. They will look just like their pictures if you come here to see/meet them in
person and most likely will be even FATTER. In 40 plus years spent around hundreds of horses, I've never met
 an under fed/under nourished horse that wasn't "kid/ beginner/ husband broke" because they just don't feel good.
Years ago I asked a knowledgeable horseman "What's your favorite kind of horse?" The immediate answer... FAT!
I've never forgotten that conversation and we couldn't agree with any statement any more whole-heartedly.
Once you've ever had the opportunity to ride and own a great young horse that's got a clean slate, no bad habits,
and no old "baggage" from previous owners/riders, you'll never want the typical "older" horse again
. The really
great older horses you see aren't great because of age but rather because they were really great younger horses...



Each one of our horses carries an AVID Microchip for their protection and safety. These are implanted by our
personal vet (invisible/painless/permanent/tamper-resistant), can be registered nationally and traceable, forever.
This provides a foolproof way to protect your next horse and undeniably proves the exact identity of each horse...
Each one of our horses available for sale is officially registered with papers from the Tennessee Walking Horse
 Breeders and Exhibitors Association and/or the Spotted Saddle Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association.
We have those official registration papers and signed transfers in hand for each and every horse we offer.

Tennessee Walking Gaited Trail Pleasure Horses for sale Gentle smooth naturally gaited Spotted Saddle Horse
 Every time we ride, our horses are either learning
 or unlearning something from us. The decision is
 ours to make and we're consciously/subconsciously
 making it every minute we get to spend with them.
  Horsemanship is truly an interpersonal relationship between horse and human
 and by my reckoning, the most important part of horse ownership. It will be at it's
 very best, the sum total of what you are willing to invest in time and effort which
 will in large part, determine what your horse/partner is willing to give back. It's a
 mutual participation activity so if you want to just saddle up and expect the horse
 to do it all, including baby sit while you just hang on, do both of you a gigantic
 favor by getting a big shiny ATV to ride. You'll both go to sleep much happier &
 much less frustrated, and yes, they get just as frustrated with us as we do them.
   Assuming you start with the right kind of horse, there really are only two main
 things you must do to have/keep the horse of your dreams. First, have a very clear
 picture in your mind of exactly who/what that horse is. Second, EVERY THING
 you do with that horse should be working to that end. Your horse MUST always
 believe any/every thing he/she did was in fact 100% YOUR idea--even if it wasn't!
   These two simple concepts will help you develop a loving/lasting/winning/and
 respecting relationship for ALL. It just does not get any better than that, period.
 On the loose and one Hot commodity... Jailhouse Chili Pepper  is about as
 beautifully marked as you could ever want, but that's not nearly his strong point.
 He's one great riding trail and pleasure partner anywhere you may choose to ride.
 We're going to let him grow out for a while longer before he's offered because he's
 going to be absolutely awesome when filled out.  More to come....

 Several more ready now...Call ahead for more details... We're getting caught up...
 4y/o Liver Chestnut/White and a 4y/o deep Bay/White who are brothers and both
 some kinda handsome. 4y/o dark Grey w/ white stockings(brother to RoyD below)
 Also a Grey/a Palomino/a Sorrel w/true flaxen M/T we've raised up and more...

  RoyD has some of the keenest/prettiest ears ever...
 Hit the Bullseye every time...High Powered Weapon hits the mark ever single
 time he's saddled up, and hits the trail. He's a 3y/o TWH who's making one of the
 best we've ever brought up, from his wonderful disposition to the incredible ride
 he delivers every time. At 15.1h and still a little more to grow, he's an excellent
 size and has the build to carry most any rider with ease all day long. His mind is
 as sharp as they come and it's so simple/easy to do absolutely anything with him
 because he's never looking for trouble or problems. Out on the trail he's steady
 and solid in any type terrain and it hasn't made any difference if you run up on
 turkey/deer/rabbits/birds/etc because he takes it all in like "no big deal". Roy has
 a wonderfully smooth gait at any speed from the ultra-slow dog walk up through
 the fast end and does it all effortlessly. He'll walk easily on a loose rein until he's
 asked for more and doesn't mind a bit when stopped for a rest or just to talk with
 fellow riders. His confidence in every situation we've ever encountered makes him
 seem like a horse much older than his age but we find that the really great minds
 in horses just work that way. They always take on new challenges like they have
 been there and done it all before. Roy is another great example of why we choose
 to focus our time on bringing up our own horses rather than spend the hundreds
 of hours it takes to locate those rare few older horses without baggage. Like all of
 our guys, he stands to mount/dismount(even from a block), loves a bath, is simple
 in a stall or pasture, and your farrier will love him and you. This is just one truly
 awesome horse destined for greatness. Take aim and ride... $7200 for now

 Bandit can make any photographer look talented..

 He's so simple to ride that it may be too much fun...
 Backwards Robbery...Bandit could easily steal your heart and everything else
 but he won't because he's too busy giving you 110% of all he's got. And I can tell
 you that it's more than plenty. He's one of the sweetest most accommodating guys
 I've ever met and that's a tall order to fill. At just 10y/o, he's such a great age for
 anyone and has experience plus on the trails and just about anywhere you could
 think about riding. Bandit is a very sturdy made 15 hands and has ample ability
 to carry most any rider all day long with ease. His gait is a silky smooth four beat
 at any speed and he's just as good barefoot as with shoes, making it simple/easy
 for even the novice gaited horse rider to get it right. Say "whoa" and give a light
 touch to the reins and he stops, immediately. But he's also just as easy to get into
 his gait by simply "kissing" to him and giving a light squeeze with your legs. Out
 on the trail he listens for any direction and is one of those guys that seem steady
 no matter what may come along. Up hills, down hills, over logs, through the mud,
 crossing water, whatever the trail has to offer is just what he handles with all the
 confidence expected from a well trained and seasoned trail horse. Bandit is such
 a pleasure to handle on the ground doing anything that may be on the menu for
 the day. He's simple to bathe, clip, groom, shoe (if you decide you want them on),
 lead, load, whatever, and with his sweet loving personality it's hard to decide just
 what is the most fun to do with him. I'll still take saddling up and riding because
 with his steady nature and perfect gait, it's hard to stop riding and un-tack. Right
 now we have six to seven horses that share his great bloodlines because they seem
 to always have just the right combination for making awesome partners. This boy
 will definitely make you want to be his getaway driver... $7200 Reg. TWHBEA

   Handsome enough to be anyone's leading man...
 Pack up your truck, move to Beverly...Hollywood's Big Jake is certainly one
 totally put together package, from his extremely handsome good looks, complete
 with two beautiful sky blue eyes and picture perfect conformation, right on thru
 to the awesome job he performs every time he's saddled up and hits the trails. He's
 a 9y/o, 15.2h SSH whos' proven over and over again to us just why we love these
 wonderful Spotted Saddle Horses and Tennessee Walking Horses. Everything you

 might want to do with him is so simple and easy from the stall to the crossties to
 the trailer to the trail and back again, so it's always a fun day. Your farrier will
 love to shoe him, if you choose to, but you'll love riding him even more and his
 gait is great either way. His daddy is another one of those horses that we love to
 find offspring as they always seem to have "what it takes to make" a really great
 all around horse. Indian River and a few others on the Sold pages share this same
 bloodline and they were just like this boy, as good as they come. Jake is always
 happy to ride out alone or in groups and will easily ride in any place in the group.
 He is solid and steady alone and has encountered about anything you can come
 up on here in the south from traffic, to brush-cutters along the roadside, to dogs,
 to occasional wildlife that pops up from nowhere, to whatever has come along so
 far. Nothing beats riding a rock solid steady trail horse and when one comes up
 like Jake who's also the best friend you could hope to find then the smiles just get
 really hard to wipe off your face. If you are seriously looking to find that totally
 loving/dependable trail partner and companion then the search is over here and
 now. Get a dose of Hollywood without ever leaving the farm... $7900

 Pete is gentle enough for anyone to enjoy & has the
 manners/disposition to match the BEST of any age.


 Pete's color is a Mocha Brown shade of Buckskin.
 He's a Sharp Shooter... Mr. Delight's Pistol Pete makes it all so simple that a
 blind person could hit a bull's eye at 100 yards. A coming 4y/o, he's a stout 14.3h
 TWH with one of the best dispositions of any horse we've ever had the pleasure to
 raise up. His personality is so sweet/gentle that you find yourself forgetting he's a
 horse because he'll seem more like your best friend. On the trail he's always taken
 any/every thing that's come up like it's really no big deal, and we run up on about
 all the different types of critters and odd things you could imagine. I've rounded
 up runaway donkeys and even fixed fence while enjoying a ride on him, and he'll
 stand still for as long as you need to get off and do some work or just take a short
 break from riding. Over and over we hear from folks who have been told it takes
 an "older" horse to be a steady/solid ride, yet over and over our home raised boys
 prove that it really just takes a great horse that was meant to be a great ride. They
 are born with a certain mind/disposition and when you get one like Pete, it's only
 a short hop to an awesome ride. Pete's gait is smoooth, no pace/trot, from walk to
 moving on down the trail and he's always happy to walk out on a loose rein for as
 long as you like so you can walk along just in case you've got some "non-gaited"
 riding buddies. His color is that beautiful sooty Buckskin that we see quite often
 in the Spotted Allen horses and he's got all that same trail savvy that comes with
 their bloodline, too. While we never say "anybody could ride this horse", I'll say
 that if you were ever meant to be riding/enjoying horses you can ride Pete. He has
 always been simple, extremely laid back, and makes you feel right at home when
 you're on his back. Smith & Wesson would love to patent this Pistol Pete...SOLD
 Reg. TWHBEA Alt. Picture1 2 3 4 5  Head Picture1 2  Video1 2 3 4 
 Trail Picture1 2 3  Trail Video1 2 3  Pete is safe and easy on the trail or at home.
 One of the very BEST in every way, bar none, no matter what age they might be!!!

  Duck has two of the most beautiful Sky Blue eyes
 Playing in the water has never been more fun...The Blue Duck makes all
 your time with him like playing in the pool; cool and oh so fun. He's a 12y/o, 15h
 TWH with a pair of the prettiest blue eyes and a gigantic foretop that make him
 some kind of good looking guy. He's got the perfect combination of Black &White
 to give him all the "bling" of the best looking out there, but that's just the icing
 on the cake. His gait is smooth and fun to ride and as you can see in his videos, he
 looks mighty fine doing it, too. He spent most all of his life being a companion to
 an older gentleman who passed on recently. He did lots of riding and also taught
 him plenty of tricks from bowing to lying down and playing dead. We're trying to
 figure out all the cues since his family did not seem to know exactly what he had
 taught him. Duck is super sweet and always comes to the door to meet you or to
 edge of his stall so he can get a scratch or rub. And talk about great housekeeper,
 he always poops in exactly one spot making stall cleaning so easy that even Ray
 Charles could do it. Out on thet trail he doesn't mind where he rides in a group
 or if you choose to ride out alone it's still no big deal. He'll do whatever work is
 in front of him tackling even the toughest terrain with ease. Water, ditches, logs,
 mud, flat, hilly, it just doesn't matter because he's got a sound even temperament
 that lends itself to anything that has come along. All the routine stuff that you'd
 want to do comes easy since he just loves being the center of attention so you may
 find yourself spending a lot of time out in the barn. Lisa threatened to keep him
 like so many others before but he's going to be for some other lucky "kid". While
 all of our mommas taught us to always share our toys, you may want to keep your
 Blue Duck all for yourself, and I think that's just fine... $6800  Reg. TWHBEA

 We'll get good pictures asap. It's been crazy lately.
 Extra, Extra. Read all about it.... Titanium's Extra has all the standard and
 optional equipment included at no Extra charge. He's a 5y/o TWH who has just
 about the perfect everything from looks to gait to disposition and everything that
 lies in between. He stands a solid and very handsome 15-15.1 hands and it comes
 in an awesome looking package. Ty had never seen Tennessee hills until he came
 here, having spent his riding life in the much flatter, sandy Florida terrain. He's
 taken to everything we've seen and encountered like a duck to water, proving once
 again that the mind is much more important than any other aspect of a horse. It
 also helps if we humans have a good sound mind as well to bring out the very best
 in out partners. Lisa took him to a local County Boy show here in October and he
 showed four classes and got four good ribbons (2nds and 3rds) in large classes. It
 was a fun night for all. But what matters most is how he takes on the trails with a
 confidence that comes through in every step taking on any new challenge like he
 has done it many times before. He has a picture perfect TWH gait and it requires
 no more than a good seat in the saddle and asking for it. It just comes naturally.
 He's solid and steady in any position within a group and just as solid and steady
 when you go out alone, never giving a thought to the trailer, the barn, or other
 horses. Ty is simple and easy to operate and while we don't rare back and make
 blanket statements like " broke/safe for anyone",  he is the type of horse that any
 person ever meant to be on horseback should be right at home riding. He's one of
 the best all around horses we've ever offered and that puts him in good company
 because we keep the bar raised high. Comes with the Extra included...SOLD

 Skillet's winter color is lighter body/more dapples
 Just like leather and lace... Cast in Iron is both beautiful and tough yet he is
 loving/gentle/sweet and wonderfully easy to handle. Most any confident beginner
 can ride him easily and he's one of the best you'll ride whether you're at home or
 decide to trailer out and hit the woods for fun. He walks when asked, stands still
 until you're ready to go, and never minds gaiting when you're ready to move on. I
 am not saying he's a speed demon because he's not and he has wonderful manners
 at all times. But he loves to gait, has one of the nicest I've ridden, and looks like a
 million bucks doing it. At 9y/o he is a great age and he's a beefy made 15.2h so he
 is plenty of horse for most anyone. On the trail he's solid and steady to ride taking
 on whatever is in front of him with confidence. He doesn't mind where he rides in
 a group and will ride out alone as easily as with others making it a simple choice
 to decide to ride even if your buddies can't go. Spending the day grooming is also
 plenty of fun since he really loves a bath, is simple to clip, will make any farrier a
 happy farrier, loads/unloads the best, and is just an all around great horse buddy.
 Greys are beautiful in any shade along the way during their lives but this boy may
 just be one of the most elegant shades I've seen and that seems to be the consensus
 of all the people who've seen him in person while here. Cast Iron may be a tough
 sounding name, and while he has all the stuff to be tough as "wet leather" , he's
 sweet and loving every minute you're with him. I've found myself getting mighty
 attached to him and I suspect that anyone who spends time with him will find out
 they can have a relationship that is as solid as his name, Cast in Iron... $7500

 Gorgeous/gentle/loving Black/White
 5y/o, 15.3h SSH gelding. In the mud


 We hope for some better weather
 to get some pictures and videos...
 A Perfect Twenty-One... Sable's BlackJack Shadow could beat the House and
 everyone else with his winning hand of talent. He's a prettier site than looking at
 the Jack and Ace of Spades when you're"all in"at the blackjack table. BlackJack
 is a 5y/o, 15.3h trail riding delight with a gait to die for and a disposition second
 to none. He's rock solid and steady on the trail and has yet to spook or even to get
 distracted from delivering a prefect ride every time we've saddled up. It would be
 very difficult to find a sweeter and more gentle soul and I can't imagine there are
 many who could mount him that would have any trouble riding him and loving it.
 All the routine stuff from the stall to the crossties to the trailer and back again is
 simple and riding him is just the same. If you just want to walk slowly on a loose
 rein all you need do is ask and the same is true for stepping up into a wonderfully
 smooth gait or stopping to rest. BlackJack has a naturally calm steady mind so he
 never looks for trouble whether you're riding in the deep woods or a more urban
 setting. He crosses water, plows through the mud (something we've had way more
 than enough of this winter), hops over logs, and handles whatever the trail might
 have to offer like a true professional. He comes from some of the same bloodlines
 that we look for over and over again because they always turn out great minded
 horses that are easy to train and make great trail/pleasure partners. Ride him out
 alone or in a group with no problems and it doesn't matter where in the group he
 winds up because he just doesn't care. Out in the pasture he seems to like all of
 his buddies and has always blended into any group of horses we've introduced to
 him. I don't know that any horse is perfect (except of course for my Wildman), but
 this boy gets close enough for me any and every day. Deal yourself a winnner and
 take home the biggest pot of winnings with this BlackJack... $6900 for now

 Joe and Soldier are just some of the great brothers
 Having the wonderful opportunity to breed, raise, and train many horses through
 the years, you begin to think about lots of different aspects of the horses' lives we
 share. I always am so amazed at how the siblings seem drawn to each other even
 when they are from different years and foal crops. I really do wonder if they feel
 some familial connection like you hear about among sisters and brothers who get
 separated at birth or early age. We absolutely love raising up and training our
 own horses and having the chance to make them special and eventually become
 someone's very own, with no bad habits or "baggage" carried forward from some
 less than ideal life/home. Then that new owner gets the pleasure and opportunity
 to make that horse "theirs" and ride one that is truly unique/custom just to them.
 It's just really hard to imagine how it could be any better than owning, riding, &
 growing with a great minded young horse that hasn't "been around the block".
 SADDLES FOR SALE  Lisa has several great gaited horse saddles to get me

    All of our Tennessee Walking Horses for sale and Spotted Saddle Horses for sale are ridden alone and in groups, on country roads and trails, around cars, trucks, tractors, ATV's, eighteen wheel Tyson Chicken trucks, etc. and are exposed to as many different obstacles as possible. Our trail rides consist of uphill and downhill, creeks and water, rocky and muddy, and sometimes roadside riding, so that the gaited horses for sale will be versatile and experienced on trails. Our gaited trail horses are never ridden in "long shank bits", "gag type bits", "twisted wire bits", or any other harsh style of "Walking Horse" bit. Each of our gaited trail horses is taught to work first in a plain "snaffle bit" with no curb strap/chain for a very light touch. Only when they fully know and understand what is expected are they finished off with a very mild "Argentine" style bit for that last little bit of primping. Our horses have normal feet with NO long toes or low heels, NO weighted or oversized shoes and are shod to their natural conformation the same as any normal trail horse of any breed should be. We represent any Tennessee Walking Horse for sale or Spotted Saddle Horse for sale as honestly and accurately as possible. Potential buyers have the option, and are welcome, to come and test ride any gaited trail horse and have a pre-purchase exam before horses leave Evening Shade Farm.
    We are not professional horse traders or brokers and do not sell horses for our living. Lisa is a Registered Nurse and I work with the School System. Consequently, the selection of gaited trail horses for sale that you will find on our site will be limited to only the caliber horse that we would personally keep forever because our goal is to offer high quality gaited trail horses, not quantity. While many of the trail horses for sale are raised and started right here at Evening Shade Farm, we also search out quality gaited trail horses. These are not horse sale, trader, or consignment horses but carefully selected and purchased by us from individual owners, and the truly good ones are few and far between. We look at many different aspects of each gaited trail horse we consider, and ultimately the decision comes down to one all important question; "Would I purchase this gaited trail horse for my own personal companion?". If the answer is yes, that Tennessee Walking horse is the one you will see on our Horses for Sale page available for your consideration. Please feel free to contact us at any time with any questions you may have using the address, phone number, and/or e-mail link above. We really look forward to hearing from you.....

This beautiful picture of Bandit, a former Evening Shade Farm boy, was sent to
               me by my great friend and a spectacular horse mom. It's especially special to me
               because I lived in/loved Florida for several years and still consider it to be one of
               my homes. Views like this are exactly why I got sand in my shoes that will be there
               forever. Thank you so much Betty for taking the time to share this with me...
