    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 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 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 bit for that last little bit of primping. We represent any Tennessee Walker 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 horse and have a pre-purchase exam before horses leave Evening Shade Farm.
    We are not professional horse traders and do not make our living selling gaited trail horses. 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 horses, not quantity. While many of the gaited 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, trade, or consignment horses, but carefully selected and purchased by us from individual owners. We look at many different aspects of the gaited trail horses 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.....

 


  Above: Harold at 4y/o ~~~Below: Harold at 7y/o
 Only his hairdresser knows... A Different Shade of Grey  is unusually
 colored, but he's an unusually nice horse in every other way also. He's 7y/o
 15.1h TWH gelding that has been trail ridden in just about all the popular
 places and it's apparent in his demeanor. He has all the qualities that will
 make owning him enjoyable from the easy way he grooms, shoes, bathes, to
 his wonderful gait and disposition under saddle. Harold stands quietly to
 mount/dismount, walks slow and easy until asked for more, and is one of
 the most polite and sweet horses. He measures 15.1h and so he's just right to
 get on and off easily. He's grey and proud of it... I have gotten so attached to
 Harold that I had been keeping him to ride along with Bomber & Wildy, but 
 I hardly ever get time to ride/enjoy him and he's just too good not to ride...

 Harold then and now... I thought it might be interesting for some to see
 how a grey horse changes color over time. The picture above was Harold as
 a 4y/o (early 2004) and the one to the left is Harold as a 7y/o (mid 2007). You
 can easily see how he has lightened in the body as well as the mane and tail.
 But they can also look quite different going through a given year as seasons
 change. I guess one of the neatest things about owning a grey horse is that it
 is never boring because just like the weather in Tennessee, if you don't like it
 today just wait for tomorrow. They also have an unusual ability to look clean
 even when you go get them out of the pasture from running/playing/rolling.
 Black and Liver Chestnut have always been hard to beat for my money, but
 Harold's put grey right up there for me.  Alt. Picture1    2    3   Head Picture 

 Rooster came home with us as a coming yearling...

 Rooster's perfect someone found him & he's gone
 home to his new family. I couldn't be any happier.

 Rise and Shine...Paint's Painted Rooster  will give you plenty of reasons to
 get up early. He has to be one of the truest hearted horses I've ever met. Once
 he connects to you in his heart/soul/mind, you will probably not find a more
 devoted partner. He's a wonderful 5y/o TWH who I've grown to totally adore
 and the older he has gotten, the more reasons I find to do just that. His gait is
 so smooth and easy to ride at any speed, and he is very steady out on the trail
 taking on any challenge. At 15.1h, he's an excellent size for most almost any
 rider and stocky enough to carry you all day with ease. Rooster is gentle/polite
 to handle on the ground and is very solid on the trail never looking for spooks.
 He is very simple and easy to ride and most anyone with a gentle/quiet nature
 will have nothing but pure fun. Set your alarm and get up with this Rooster...

 Rooster was chosen to come live with us when he was just a yearling. He was
 not in the best of situations and needed us to help him out which we were glad
 to do. He was then, and has always been, one of the gentlest/sweetest souls in
 a horse body that I have ever had the pleasure to love. His devotion to a person
 is unparalleled and I have found him happy to leave his feed to come be with
 me. Under saddle he is as solid and steady to ride as any horse we have and his
 gait is extremely smooth and comfortable to ride for however long you choose
 to sit in the saddle. On the ground he is very dependent on his person to keep
 him feeling at ease. He goes out of his way to be polite and gentle to handle &
 wouldn't harm a fly. I am dedicated to placing every horse we offer in THEIR
 perfect home and Rooster is no exception. He will live here forever if necessary
 for his comfort, but I know that there is just the perfect person out there to fit
 his needs. He will be at ease living at home with his people and probably not
 at a commercial facility as he doesn't like lots of noisy hoopla/people around at
 once. He really needs to be an integral part of his family getting lots of loving
 time. His person will need to be calm, quiet, and not in a hurry to do things as
 he gets uneasy when rushed or "manhandled", which is where his story began
 and why HE chose US to help out. It's sad that some people who raise horses
 don't realize just how much the way you handle them from the very first day of
 their lives affects the rest of their lives. The residual effects, whatever they may
 be, usually last a lifetime and some memories never fade away. Rooster is one
 of those special horses that will make someone's "perfect dream horse" and I
 am willing to wait, however long it takes, to meet Rooster's "perfect someone".
 I never doubted for a minute that they were out there looking for Rooster.....


    Maggie's color is a dark chocolate buckskin...
  "Oh Maggie I wish"... Maggie Mae Now has made me eat my own words.
 I have said many times that I would not buy any more fillies/mares to have as
 riding horses for several reasons. But every time I look at this nearly perfect
 horse I forget her gender. She is a beautiful 2y/o and I will have her ready for
 some lucky horseperson shortly after the first of the new year ('08). Her mind
 is as sharp and keen as her conformation is near perfect. She will have a gait
 that is smooth and easy to ride and all the ability that even the most veteran
 rider wants in a great trail/pleasure partner.  When the time finally comes you
 can bet  she will be one that make anybody proud. Rod Stewart would surely
 be inspired to see how awesome Maggie is today... This was her Feb/07 write
 up when I first brought her home at 2y/o because I was so excited about her...

  Maggie is now ready for some extremely lucky person to consider...
 Maggie Now...
These new pictures were taken today (7/15/08) and as you can
 see, she has grown into an absolutely stunning young mare. She's turned out
 to be even better in every way than I had ever dreamed and I'd dreamed really
 great things about her. Maggie is now 3 1/2y/o, 15.1h and if I were to try and
 blueprint the perfect horse for me, I couldn't have done it any better than this.
 She'll walk down slowly on a loose rein indefinitely but steps up into her near
 perfect gait (at any speed) just for the asking and is about as pretty doing it as
 any horse I could imagine. She's absolutely awesome out on the trail and will
 take on any new challenge like a seasoned veteran. I might be just a "tad bit"
 prejudiced, but this Maggie is even better than Rod's original... SOLD

 The two Mo's... full bros...  Keb Mo and the Mojo...
 You just can't have too many Mo's... Because Lisa decided to keep Mojo
 as her own to ride, we thought we would let it be known that in the coming
 months, his full brother Keb Mo will be offered for consideration. He has the
 same great mind that Mojo possesses and even though his color is a little bit
 lighter shade of Chocolate Palomino, he is every bit as gorgeous in every way.
 He just turned 2y/o back in March and has only been lightly ridden so he will
 not be available until later in the year. However, due to overwhelming number
 of folks that wanted Mojo, I decided to give a heads up for anyone who might
 seriously want to consider him as their future trail companion. There will be
 other pictures posted along the way as well as videos under saddle to show just
 how awesome he is. Stay tuned for a lotta' Mo to come..... Alt. Pic1  2   3  Head

 
 Keb Mo is SOLD and has left us to move in with his awesome new family.
 I just couldn't let him get gone without making some new pictures and some
 videos to show off. He was born a great horse and turned into nothing less than
 nearly the best trail/pleasure partner we have ever had the privilege to raise up.
 That's not said to take anything away from all of the wonderful horses we have
 had and presently have. I personally miss each and every horse that leaves us,
 but knowing what amazing new homes and families that they join makes it fun
 and joyful. Keb and Pecos Bill are going together and so they'll be there to give
 each other comfort during the trip and as they settle into their new home and
 surroundings.

    N'Sync has absolutely beautiful conformation
 Sync-chronize your watches... Hagood's N'Sync  knows how to synchronize
 good times with great riding. He's a 9y/o TWH who stands a very well made and
 stoutly built 15.2h and he can get the job done in style. His gait is smooth/easy
 and he's a real blast to take out on the trails and have some extreme fun. He is
 very simple to ride at home or on the trail and is so mellow/laid back that almost
 anyone with good basic horse sense will absolutely love him. We didn't ride him
 all winter and he was near perfect his first ride out. His manners on the ground
 and under saddle are the best so whatever you may want to do with him will be
 easy. I personally love a high headed and pretty going kind of horse so Sync is
 one of my personal favorites to take out trail riding. The day we went back and
 decided to bring him home, I was experiencing some pain in my back so when
 we rode him the final time it was up to Lisa. She disappeared off into the woods
 and about 30 minutes later I was beginning to wonder where she might be. Well
 she emerged from the trail with a big grin on her face so I knew he'd passed the
 final test. He's very sure-footed and so capable in the woods and no matter what
 type terrain encountered, he seems always able to deliver a very solid ride. It's
 really fun to take a horse out who makes you believe in him and Sync is one of
 those horses. Nothing seems to divert his attention from the trail and odd stuff
 that always makes it's way in front of your horse out on the trail doesn't bother
 him in the least. We don't often find really nice older horses as most people keep
 keep them forever, but occasionally one does come along and when they do we
 always have a spot for them. Good times and you can get N'Sync... SOLD

 Copper rides/gaits bitted, bit-less, or in a side-pull
 and has one of the nicest trail lopes/canter to ride
 ...."daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge"....Copperhead Road
 proves to be far better than any big block Dodge if you're looking to have fun
 and see the sights up and down any trail. He's a very solidly built and great
 minded 15h, 5y/o that can carry most any size rider easily and he'll park out
 to make mounting even easier. His color is the perfect shade of Buckskin and
 what makes it even better is that he does not have a white hair any place on
 his body so you get all the perfect coal black to go with that beautiful copper.
 The terrain never seems too tough for this boy and while he'll be all the horse
 that even the most seasoned rider may want, he's plenty gentle for just about
 anyone who has good basic horse sense, and that's needed to ride any horse
 besides the ones out front of Wal Mart. He was raised by the family who still
 own his daddy and we were plenty pleased to be able to acquire such a great
 family horse. Copper really enjoys attention and will let you do anything that
 needs done with the ease and cooperation that we look for in any/every horse.
 He will walk quietly all day if you'd like and never get hurried, or step up and
 gait easily for you whenever asked. He is very simple and easy to handle and
 ride so whether you're loading up to get out on the trails or just taking a day
 to hang out around the place and do routine stuff, it will be fun. You can ride
 him out alone or in any size group, any place in that group, down the road, or
 anywhere else and he's always having fun. Color aside, Copper is going to
 be one of those horses that everybody compliments because he's just plain old
 awesome in every way... You'll always come back on Copperhead Road...SOLD

 This Beau will Rock your world...Generator's Rocky Beau has everything
 even the most discriminating person could want in a perfect Beau. He's a 3y/o
 TWH that stands a a very nice 15.1h and will fill out to make the perfect size
 horse. His disposition is absolutely wonderful and his gait is so smooth that it
 would be hard to decide which is better. Beau is developing the perfect rocking
 chair type canter and never gets wound up about anything. In all of the videos
 listed below he is working in a Bosal that we put on him for the very first time
 five minutes before I began shooting these clips. He has always taken to every
 request we have made of him and just gets better and better each ride. We have
 ridden him at night, down the road for miles, in every type terrain you could
 imagine, by himself and in groups, and he always delivers a perfect ride each
 time he's saddled up. He'll walk or gait on a loose rein when asked like all of
 our horses, is neck reining, and backs. Beau is another one of those awesome
 young horses who turn out to be the aged horses that everyone oohs and aahs
 over and wishes that they owned themselves. We've had him since a yearling
 and he's been a pleasure to work with and never had an issue dealing with any
 new or different situation we've ever encountered. He's the type of horse that
 we focus our efforts on because he was born to be a great trail/pleasure horse
 and the work is always so easy with this type. They just "get it" from the very
 beginning and that makes every day fun. If you're looking to find a wonderful
 partner then this may be the ultimate Beau... SOLD

 Better than a Texas oil well...Black Gold's Gunsmoke  is definitely an
 extremely rare TWH. Over the years we've looked at many horses of color
 and had never come across a buckskin that possessed all the qualities that
 we require in a great horse. Smokey has it all from picture perfect beauty,
 great disposition, wonderful gait, to outstanding conformation. He's a 6y/o
 full 16h gelding that is as solid on the trail as any horse we have and is so
 calm that almost anyone should be at home on his back. He'll stand quietly
 whenever asked, walk as slowly for as long as you like, cover lots of ground
 with every step when you ask for more, and carry you all day long as if he
 would never get tired. Jed Clampett didn't strike it this rich...

  Gypsy is a very pretty dark chestnut/black color
 KING me... The Gypsy King will have you thinking you're the royalty with
 all the devotion and loyalty he'll lavish on you. He's an extremely gentle and
 loving 6y/o TWH who has impeccable manners in every respect from the stall
 to the trails and back again. Gypsy's gait is rock steady at any speed from slow
 walking down the trail to whatever speed you choose to gait and he does it all
 on a loose rein. He never hurries unless you ask for him to and is settled and
 extremely consistent anywhere you take him. It doesn't matter if you can only
 ride intermittently because he never changes and will be the very same steady
 solid horse each and every time you saddle up. He's a thick made 14.3h and is
 plenty sturdy to carry most anyone easily down the trail and his size is so nice
 for mounting. Take him home and you'll be the one joining the Royal family...

  Red Cloud reminds me very much of a wonderful
  horse named Hoss both in build and personality...

 And the winner by a knockout...Mike Tyson  is a real champion but he'll
 give you a chance to be a winner , too. He's a 4y/o SSH that's got all the great
 qualities looked for in a wonderful trail and pleasure horse. His gait is truly
 awesome at any speed from the slowest walk right up through the entire range
 he covers. He's very sweet and affectionate, loves all the treats he can get, and
 is so easy to handle any and every where. Out on the trail he is very steady and
 takes on anything new or different with the cooperation and ease we'd expect
 from a great minded horse. He was born and raised right here in our area and
 has been a family trail/pleasure horse all of his life. At a very sturdy built 15h,
 he's an easy horse to mount/dismount (he stands perfectly still for both) and he
 is plenty able to carry most any rider all day with ease. We call him Red Cloud
 even though his registered name is Mike Tyson, because that is what his family
 before us called him and it is an excellent name. I have found him to be one of
 the simplest horses to ride which makes him so fun and easy to enjoy for even
 the non-gaited horse person who has decided to quit beating themselves up on
 a trotter (not that they don't deserve love, too). The sun wouldn't cooperate the
 day I shot his pictures so his color does not come through with all the sheen it
 shows in person and is a very deep mahogany bay/tri color as his mane/tail are
 black and white. Red Cloud gladly walks or gaits on a loose rein and responds
 to whoa just as all of our horses do, immediately. He's just another example of
 a horse that was meant to be a trail/pleasure horse from birth, because in my
 experience great horses like great athletes, are born and not made. Step into
 the ring with Mike Tyson and you'll both be "Champions" ... SOLD

   Beam is as good as any gelding you'll ever find...
 "Shining star for you to see..." Beam of Belfast might just outshine even
 the brightest night sky stars. She may be the sweetest, gentlest, most loving
 girl you'll ever find. Beam is a 4y/o TWH that has absolutely every quality we
 look for in a wonderfully fun trail/pleasure companion. The videos will give
 just a glimpse of how willing/able and totally into her person she gets. I have
 had more fun playing with her than money could buy and she just gets better
 and better every day, if that's possible. She loves to eat and be loved on and it
 doesn't matter how often, or seldom, you ride her she's always perfect. She'll
 neck rein in a halter, gaits the best with or without tack, and if you call her
 name she's gonna' come runnin' to you. At 14.3h, Beam is a really nice size
 for mounting/riding. No telescope needed to catch the Beam from this star...

 Mystic has physically matured so much in the last
 year that I had to update his pictures. Be sure to
 check out all of the new Alt. & Head pictures, too.
 Videos show Mystic working in a Jr. Cowhorse bit.
 Take me to the River...Mystic River has a history as intriguing and unique
 as his name. He's a 5y/o, TWH that spent his first year of work at trick/agility
 training and has spent from then until now becoming an awesome trail horse.
 In 2007 he showed an eager crowd at the TWH National Celebration just how
 truly versatile and intelligent the Tennessee Walking Horse is even at a young
 age, and without recent trick work. He stands 15.1sh and is a very stocky built
 horse who has proven to be more than able to carry me in some of the toughest
 terrain I have ridden. Mystic has made an absolutely fabulous trail horse and
 he's so competent/capable/consistent to ride/enjoy. He's plenty gentle for most
 anyone to handle on the ground and under saddle. His gait is incredible at any
 speed and nothing seems to ever get his attention diverted from delivering a
 great ride every time. No life jacket required to ride the Mystic River...SOLD

 Mystic was in Trick Training/Equine Agility at Red Horse Ranch. There he
 proved himself to be an excellent student and could do well as an exhibition
 horse. Here is a list of what he learned: Pedestal work- 2 feet and 4 feet in
 many variations, Revolving pedestal, Bow- either leg, Kneel, Lay down, Sit
 up, Sit down, Rear to the pedestal, Jambette, Beginning Spanish walk- in
 hand and under saddle, and Beginning Levade. Mystic will execute all of the
 above under saddle, probably with a little refresher course. Maybe the two
 most compelling aspects that Agility Training offers are that it helps horses
 learn how to learn and creates a good work ethic. Mystic has proven to me just
 how incredibly gifted the TWH is as a breed and him as an individual. I would
 keep him for myself if I had the time to fully enjoy riding both him & Bomber.

 He ain't no ordinary Hillbilly... Willie Bill  is really an extraordinary kind
 of guy given all his many talents. While he may just be one of the very best 5y/o
 trail riding horses to be found, he's also a whale of a great buggy pulling horse
 and top that off with the fact that he'll hitch single or double. Our roads have
 become too treacherous with traffic to hitch up here, but the older gentleman
 from whom we purchased Willie actually drove more than he rode. He stands
 a very nice 15.1h, and it would be hard to find a nicer trail gaiting TWH. His
 color is a very deep/dappled chocolate palomino and is mane/tail are beautiful
 silver/flaxen. Willie gladly steps up into his wonderfully smooth gait, which is
 great at any speed, and he'll also walk down slow for the asking as long as you
 like. He's probably one of the sweetest, most affectionate horses you could find
 and is so fun/easy to handle on the ground, in the trailer, around the barn, and
 most especially out on the trail. Nothing seems to distract or bother him so the
 riding is just simple and fun. Willie has no problem riding out alone (none of
 our horses do), riding in any size group, or riding anywhere within that group.
 The longer you ride him the more you appreciate his easy gait that just comes
 very naturally to him with no real need for any sort of help. Even if you don't
 get to ride for a while it's no worry because horses like Willie are the just same
 every time you saddle up to ride. And isn't that the horse we all really want?
 We look for great horses in every one we choose but it never hurts to get a big
 ole dose of purty to go along with it and this WillBilly has it all... SOLD

 More fun than Gilligan's Island...Rachel Ginger is as pretty as any model
 and she's much easier to keep. Ginger is a 4y/o TWH whose natural abilities
 surpass even her beautiful color and conformation. She stands a solid 15.1h
 and has the sweet disposition of the gentlest lamb and yet has the heart of a
 lion when you're out on the trail. Her gait is very smooth and easy for anyone
 to ride and she has one of the lightest/softest mouths that you could ever hope
 for which makes her so nice to handle. Ginger is responsive to any queue yet
 she knows what to ignore making her such a dream to ride in the woods, and
 the going doesn't get too tough for her to handle. Naturally, she bathes, clips,
 loads, shoes, and does all the routine stuff with the ease you'd expect from a
 really great horse. She'll stand still to mount/dismount and walk on a loose
 rein until you ask for more and has never gotten rattled at anything we have
 encountered on the trail, down the road, or anywhere else. While I have really
 never been a "mare person" so to speak, she's another one of those awesome
 mares like Maggie, Beam, Penny, Maxie, and a few others that have made me
 change religion. This is one of the most fun horses I have ridden in the woods
 and no matter what has come up, she's delivered with ease. She'll jump, slide,
 cross, go up/down/across, and be steady all the way. If you really enjoy getting
 out on the trail and having some fun playing around then this may just be the
 horse you're looking to find. She'll turn more heads than Ginger & MaryAnn
 plus she's way too much fun for just a three hour tour...SOLD  Reg. Paper

 Sam is a 3 y/o, 15.1h and a beautiful shade of Bay
  Always begin with a great foundation...Ebony's Bay Sam certainly fits
 that adage perfectly. His pedigree is filled with the best of the old foundation
 Tennessee Walking Horses from top to bottom and it shows in every aspect of
 him. Sam may just have the nicest trail gait that you could ever ride and he's
 just as smooth at any speed you ask. But it gets even better when you discover
 how solid minded he is about any and every thing that comes up while you're
 enjoying a perfect ride out on the trails. His ground manners are impeccable
 and once you saddle up all that's left to do is ride and smile. Sam is another
 one of those great young horses that make the great older horses that people
 always admire and wonder just how they got so good. It just stands testament
 to the fact that you have to start out right to end up right .... SOLD

 More fun than a barrel of monkeys...Skip's YoYo will be your favorite toy
 to play with every day. He's a big stocky 7y/o 15.2h TWH that has the kind of
 trail experience to make him one of the very best you could ever hope to own.
 We placed Skip as a 3y/o and he lived an awesome life with his people but due
 to a job change he just wasn't getting used. When I was offered the opportunity
 to get him back as a great 7y/o it was a no brainer decision that required all of
 about two seconds to make. One of the reasons we generally offer the younger
 horses is because no one ever sells their really great older horse, and it's easy
 to understand why; they are too hard to come by. From 2y/o on, Skip has done
 just about everything a trail horse can do from camping to traveling to riding
 most any type terrain you could imagine and has done it all the very best. He's
 happy to ride out alone and never minds where he is placed in any size group
 from small to large. He neck reins, backs, gaits easily at any speed, does all the
 routine stuff like any gentleman should, and is one of the sweetest you'll meet.
 Ride him every day or intermittently and you still get the same great consistent
 horse each time you saddle up and head out. With his stout build, he's plenty
 of horse for most any rider and yet gentle enough for just about anyone to ride.
 His color is a sooty Buckskin which comes from his Spotted Allen bloodlines
 which we have found over the years make some of the very best minded horses
 you can ride and we've owned literally dozens of Spotted Allen bred horses.
 Duncan never has made a YoYo that could compare to Skip... SOLD

 a Bummer" an entirely new and very desirable meaning. We seldom ever have
 an opportunity to offer great older horses and yet here at one time have two of
 the best ever. Much like HazMat, Bummer is a very stocky 8y/o 15.2h TWH that
 is absolutely one of the sweetest/gentlest horses to be found. He loves treats, just
 like any and all of our horses do, and really enjoys being groomed and doted on.
 But that is just the beginning because riding him is the real dream. His gait is
 smooth and easy at any speed and as much fun as that may be, he's also happy
 to walk down slowly. He comes from some of the very best old foundation TWH
 bloodlines and true to his heritage, he got the beauty and the wonderful mind
 that reinforces to those of us who've always loved Tennessee Walking Horses
 the many reasons we do. Bummer is at home anywhere you take him and seems
 to never mind what may come up out on the trail. He's extremely laid back and
 very surefooted on even the trickiest trail terrain. At home, he's just as much a
 pleasure to handle and has always been the consummate gentleman no matter
 what's on the agenda. Of course he does all the normal stuff that horses need
 to do like bathing/clipping/loading-unloading/standing for mount-dismount/
 etc. just like you'd expect a great horse to do. He's stoutly built and plenty of
 horse to carry anyone that can climb on as far and long as they choose to ride
 and yet so gentle and easy to handle. Like all of our horses, it really doesn't
 matter how often, or seldom, you may ride because he's proven himself to be
 the same steady horse each time. You'll love saying "man, what a Bummer"...

 Granny always said if the women can't find you handsome, they should at least
 find you handy. Well, Bummer is both.
 Everything that Sparkles is not gold... Rocky Sparkles  is a much more
 rare find than gold. He's a 4y/o TWH gelding that  might be one of the most
 eye catching 15.1h horses that you'll see. His disposition is better than gold
 and it would be hard to find a more reliable trail horse anywhere. He's more
 than happy to walk all day on a loose rein but can easily step up into a gait
 that is smooth to ride. Rocky is so polite on the ground or under saddle that
 you might just want him to teach your kids or friends a thing or two. Out on
 the trail he is willing and able to tackle any type terrain and I have never
 encountered anything that has rattled his confidence. He's the kind of horse
 that everybody oohhs and aahhs over. No Jeweler needed to Sparkle...SOLD

  Moonshine has a wonderful lope out on the trail
 There's a still in them hills... Moonshine in Dixie might be the only legal
 way to have some "shine" these days. It won't really matter how far back in
 the hills you go, he's still right at home taking on every challenge in stride.
 He's a 5y/o TWH that stands a very stoutly built 15.2 hands and feels the best
 between your legs. Moonshine will gladly walk down slow for as long as you
 like but has all the go you'll ever need to get you wherever you're headed. I
 have found him to be one of the most capable of horses in any setting but he
 really has a great mind for the woods taking on toughest terrain so carefully.
 He's an extremely sweet/loving horse and is so easy to handle from beginning
 to end of any day you spend with him. Once you meet him you'll see just why
 we in the south have always known, the best Moonshine is in Dixie... SOLD

 bath until now, nothing has ever been a problem for him and he just keeps
 getting better. His gait is wonderful at any speed and he's so easy to ride that
 you may not want stop. Shadow stands a very nice 15.1 hands so mounting is
 never a problem, not to mention that he stands perfectly still until asked to
 move off. He's so easy to work with no matter what you want to do and out
 on the trails they don't get much better. He's gentle enough for most anyone
 to ride and feel safe. Get the ultimate Mountain ATV. Sunshine included...

 is missing absolutely nothing you could need or want in your perfect horse.
 Not only does he have gait, conformation, disposition, and great color but
 he will also pull anything from a Doctor's buggy to a sled and do it like a
 pro. His ground manners are superior, he clips/loads/shoes, side-pass, neck
 rein, and anything else you might want to do with ease. Big Shot has a lot
 of miles of trail experience but also has the walk and shake that it takes to
 succeed in the show ring. He's 4 1/2y/o that's gentle and laid back enough

 Big, Bold, Beautiful, and Unregistered... Chester  may be the easiest
 horse to ride and enjoy that we have ever owned. I can't imagine how a set
 of registration papers could make any horse any better. He stands a big and|
 sturdy 15.3h and at 6y/o, could not be at a better age to join any trail riding
 family. His gait is one of the smoothest and most solid to be found and he'll
 do it just the same in a halter/lead-rope as in a bit/bridle. On the trail he is
 an absolute joy and he is at home no matter where he rides with others or if
 he's out alone. Chester has a very light/responsive mouth, neck reins the best
 and will walk as slowly as you like or gait with the slightest cue. It's would

 marked girl. Her gait is smoother than ever and riding her is becoming
 one of the high points of my day. She's high headed, super responsive in
 the mouth, silky smooth, and as easy to ride as any horse we have. While
 she's not a deadhead, she can be easily ridden by anyone who is at home
 on horseback. Her color is grey roan which never fades or lightens up to
 white. DC is as sweet and loving as you could want and at 4y/o and 15
 hands, she's about perfect. I've never had her refuse any request and I
 have asked for a lot at times. Miss her and you'll have the blues...

 of saddle and trail time. Molly is a pleasure no matter what's on the agenda
 and the only way you can tell she's a mare is by looking because she never

 We raised Hoss from yearling to big beautiful 4y/o
 You'll love watching this Sunset...Blazing Sunset is beautiful to look at but
 even much more fun to ride. Hoss has grown into a big boy since we brought
 him home as a yearling and he still has a little more growing to do. He stands
 almost 16h today at soon to be 4y/o but I suspect he'll reach 16.2h by the time he
 reaches 5y/o. This may be one of the sweetest and most loving big horses that
 we've had and even though he's going to be big, he's anything but intimidating.
 Hoss is a gentle TWH/SSH who has about as easy of a disposition as could be
 found and everything we have ever asked of him has been delivered with just a
 simple request. He's one of those horses that just doesn't get in a hurry so if you
 want to zip around as fast as possible then do not even consider him as a horse
 for you. He'll gait whenever he's asked and has a smooth easy trail lope to ride,
 too, but always happy to slow back and walk. It really doesn't matter to him if
 all the other horses ride off completely out of sight or sound, he'll just continue
 on his way at a walk never worrying about where they may be. You can ride out
 alone and be just fine as he's just as confident by himself as in a group and he'll
 ride anywhere in a group with no issues. Out on the trail he's very capable and
 can tackle any terrain from flat to steep, wet to dry, rocky to muddy, crosses logs
 etc. easily and just tries his best to please at all times. We constantly encounter
 all types of wildlife in the places where we trail ride our horses and he's never
 been bothered by any of it. Hoss has a wonderful short lope/canter that he just
 loves to do whenever he's asked. Instead of riding off into the sunset, why not
 ride off on a beautiful Blazing Sunset... SOLD

 Hollywood at Big South Fork, TN.... Hollywood aka Woody, as he is
 now known, has proven to be one of the best horses we have ever had to
 offer. Every year at Thanksgiving, some of my dearest friends in the world
 go to Big South Fork in Tennessee camping and riding for the week. This
 year they were possibly going to need an extra horse so I gladly volunteered
 the use of Woody. Well, he was a huge hit with everyone and got the chance
 to carry riders of all ages everywhere their hearts desired, and did it without
 a single problem. I knew what a great mind and spirit he has and never had
 a doubt at his ability to deliver a great ride, but this horse is mature beyond
 his age. I am so glad that he had the opportunity to go with them and that
 everyone, I think especially Woody, had a fabulous time. Thanks Maria...
 Share your toys??? Tony's Tinker Toy  is one toy that you might just be

 foundation SSH bloodlines, it's only natural that she has the gait, manners,
 willingness, and beauty that give the breed such popularity. This beautiful
 mare has been loved and ridden by the same family since she was 18 months
 old and you can tell that she's had the best. Nothing seems to be a problem
 and she is as easy to ride and as solid as any horse we've owned with a gait

 problem for him and he doesn't mind riding out alone with you or go out in
 a group. He's nearly perfect on the trail and it seems to be one of his favorite
 things to do. Rebel stands a full 16.1 hands and has really turned into a big
 stout horse. He never moves a muscle until asked and his gait is truly one of
 the most comfortable I've ridden at any speed. His mouth is very light and so
 riding him is very easy. Rebel is happy to walk slowly on a loose rein all day
 but will gladly gait at any speed he's asked. If you like your horses big/sturdy
 and rock solid, this is the total package. Set your alarms for Midnight....

 credit than many horses twice his age. He is one of the most simple and fun
 horses that I have ever ridden. His gait is just as smooth and easy in a halter
 as in a bridle and his mouth is light/responsive. On the trail he is solid and
 steady, able to take you safely anywhere you can ride and if you love a horse
 with a wonderfully easy canter, JD has the goods. He has a sweet and loving
 disposition, is so gentle to be around, and really connects to you. His ground

 one of the nicest all around horses to be found. Ride him or just give up....

All of our Tennessee Walking Horses for sale and Spotted Saddle Horses for sale are ridden 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 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 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 bit for that last little bit of primping. We represent any Tennessee Walker 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 horse and have a pre-purchase exam before horses leave Evening Shade Farm.
    We are not professional horse traders 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 horses, not quantity. While many of the gaited 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, trade, or consignment horses, but carefully selected and purchased from individual owners. We look at many different aspects of the gaited trail horses we consider, and ultimately the decision comes down to one all important question; "Would I purchase this 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.....
