Take the Xpress eveywhere you ride... Ultra
Xpress delivers just what you'd really want from your trail partner, the ultra ride. He's a 3y/o, 15.1h stocky built boy with all the right ingredients to make the best looking, best riding partner to be found. His confomation is as near perfect as the best artist could paint and his ability is just as great. Xpress has a wonderful disposition so its always a pleasure to groom, ride, or just hang out for the day with him. He was bred and raised to be a trail partner and he has turned out one of the best. Nothing ever seems to be a problem for him whether you're ridng in the woods or down the road. He recently rode down the side of a busy five lane divided highway to the store and back and even crossed that same busy highway as there was something on the other side we wanted to visit. Waiting patiently for a big enough break in traffic was no issue and when that break came, he calmly/quietly/easily made his way to the median and then on across to the other side. That's the kind of mind that can't be trained into a horse but must be born to them. His gait is very smooth and easy at every speed and and he's equally happy to gait along or walk down slowly on a loose rein. On the trail he is solid and steady in all types of terrain and we've ridden at night just as safely and easily. Xpress doesn't mind riding out alone and is happy anywhere in a group of horses not pushing to get ahead or minding being behind. Need to take off for a nature break, no problem. He's just the right kind of horse to make riding anywhere and anytime really fun. If you want to get where you're going in real style, then hop aboard Xpress yourself... SOLD Reg.

![]() Jester is a true grey even though his color has a bit of a chestnutty cast to it in these pictures and light. ![]() |
You'll be laughing all day long...The High
Court Jester will make you smile from ear to ear every time you saddle him up and ride. He's been simple and easy to handle, train, and ride from the first day the saddle went on his back. Jester is a coming 4y/o and will be a nice thick made 15.1+h when fully grown. His mind is always on you and what's being asked of him and he delivers each request with respect. It seems like I'm always saying this horse or that horse is one of the best we've ever owned but it's always true and Jester is another one. I guess maybe it's because the benchmark we use is that every "next" horse needs to be just that, one of the best we've offered. Jester's gait is very smooth and easy to ride, or if you choose to just walk down the trail you'll find him just as comfortable. He's never worried about much and if he does see something new/different, and those things always seem to pop up at inopportune times, he'll stop and look and then move on when you ask. His color will be very similar to Harold's, who is at the top of the Sold Horses page, changing through all the various shades of grey throughout his lifetime. Several of the alternate pictures show closeups of his sides and tail so it can be seen. Like so many of our horses, we purchased him as a youngster from a close friend who raised him from his momma and he's turned out just like we had hoped he would. Out on the trail he is solid and steady taking on any obstacle or challenge confidently and once he's done something it'll stay in his memory for future use. Bathing/clipping/loading/standing to mount and all the usual routine stuff is a breeze and standard equipment on all of our horses. You'll search long and hard to find guys like this at any age,and he's just going to get better & better. You'll feel just like Royalty when you've got your own High Court Jester... SOLD Jester's price will not stay here for long. Lisa is now teaching him to canter/lope. Reg. TWHBEA Alt. Picture1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Head1 2 3 Trail1 2 3 |
![]() Magic's color is a beautiful deep Liver Chestnut ![]() |
Take a Magic
carpet ride... Magic Colors is an incredibly beautiful
looking boy but that's just the tip of the iceberg. He's one of the sweetest most loving guys you may ever have the pleasure to meet and spending any time with him is much more than great fun. At 15.1/6y/o, he's a perfect size/age for most riders and he's got just the perfect balance of whoa and go to suit the seasoned rider as well as most anyone just beginning to enjoy pleasure riding. While we never call any of our horses "beginner" or some such meaningless term, Magic has the disposition to fit anyone who has a natural knack for horses. His gait is one of the nicest to ride at any speed and he also canters/lopes for the asking which is always nice to have. Out on the trail he seems to truly enjoy learning new things and I've found him to be one of the most willing/compliant partners that I've known, and all it takes is to show him what is wanted and then ask. He'll walk down slowly for as long as you want (on a loose rein) and steps up to that wonderfully smooth magic carpet ride gait to take you on down the trail. The terrain doesn't seem to become too tough for his ability and I always feel safe on him. We're always looking for older horses but honestly just don't find our type that folks are willing sell at any price. Magic is one of the rare exceptions and it didn't take a New York minute to make the decision to bring him home. His ground manners are the best and he'll park out for even easier mounting. Any and all the routine stuff is just plain easy from the stall to the trailer to the trail. It would be very easy to go on with a long list of his great qualities but at the end of the day, all it takes is one ride on him and you see for yourself. Don't miss your chance to ride the Magic carpet...SOLD Reg. Papers Alt. Picture Trail Picture1 2 Fun Show Picture1 2 3 4 Picture1 2 |

Win the war with
a perfect battle... Champagne Battle has been one of
those near perfect young horses that started like a champ and has only gotten better. I can truly say that it would be hard to imagine a better minded/better gaited/better disposition partner than Yella Fella. He's a 3y/o, 15.1h TWH with a gait that's as close to perfect as I've ever ridden. It's all natural and he can do it for as long as wanted but never has to be asked twice to walk down slow on a loose rein and his walk is as comfortable as his gait. He's never spooked at anything to date and has the kind of mind that learns anything/everything we've offered to teach him with the ease of a straight A student. And once you teach him, it's in there forever. It's so hard to find really great TWH of color that have ALL the right stuff, but this is one of those rare few that got it all. On the trail, down the road, around the barn, or wherever else he's asked to ride he just gives a wonderful day. Ironically, both of his parents are spotted TWH and yet Fella only has a very slight star to show for all the spots in his background. His conformation is beautiful from his nose to his tail and they are both pure white naturally. Combine that with the soft velvet look of his gold champagne coat and while a picture is worth a thousand words, seeing this gorgeous boy in person is even better. We try to always have the best group of horses we can offer and Yella Fella is surely great example of the type of horse we love to own over and over again. You'll never have to go to war to win a perfect Battle... SOLD... Alt. Picture1 2 Head Picture1 2 Tack Picture1 2 Trail Picture |
![]() Splash is the awesome brother to Yella Fella who's a Gold Champagne and does not have a white hair. ![]() |
It's always
perfect weather to get Splashed... Delightfully Splashed
has sure grown into one of the best looking and riding horses we've ever raised up. He's a 3y/o, 15.3h who's turned out to be as awesome as his brother, Yella Fella, and I'll put him up against the very best aged horses I've ever known. Splash has been just about perfect since day one and gets better every ride. Like all the boys we raise around here, he was started and had his initial training completed and then just grow/fillout until recently. He went back to work after 6 months of not being near a saddle and when I stepped on for that first time it was like he'd been ridden all day long the day before. It just proves again that age doesn't make great horses. It just takes great horses to make great horses and they are born and not made. We do take great pride in offering top horses, one after another, and Splash is as good as the very best to be found anywhere. He takes to the trail like an old pro and it doesn't matter whether he's been there before or not because he'll deliver a super ride each time. The first trail ride we took this year after his hiatus, we came up a hill to find a nanny goat with her head stuck in the fence and just crying. I took Splash in for a closer look, dismounted and held my rein around my arm while I gently got her horns unstuck from the woven fence wire. She took off running and calling for her herd. We just watched her go and I think he smiled along with me. Later, we jumped up a turkey and he didn't twitch a muscle because that's just the kind of mind he has. In the videos he is totally barefoot and his gait is as smooth as silk at every speed from the slowest walk to moving on out. He is just as smooth with 4 shoes and any farrier will love him. He loves people and will come to you anytime his name is called. You don't have to get wet to be Splashed... SOLD Reg. TWHBEA Alt. Picture1 2 3 4 5 Head Picture1 2 |
![]() Eagle is one easy going guy who makes riding fun. ![]() |
Flyin' high close to the ground...
The War Eagle is ready to take you on
some fantastic flights to anywhere you'd like to go. He's a 9y/o super confident guy who knows trail riding from A to Z and can take the best care of any rider on the way. Sometimes we just want to sit back and relax/enjoy a rdie without having to really work at it and this is the guy for that ride. He's exceptionally sweet and loving so it's always a pleasure to be around him but the real joy comes from doing all the stuff that makes hanging out with horse companions fun. It doesn't matter if you want to ride or groom because he loves all of it. He's the kind of horse who won't get in a hurry if you just want to walk down slowly, all day long if you like, and he's so forgiving that even the brand new rider who may accidentally give him a wrong cue will be safe. Eagle will take the best care of his rider and make anyone who climbs in the saddle feel like an old pro. He stops riding when his rider stops riding so it's vey hard to get into trouble. And talk about building confidence, it's hard to imagine how anyone would not feel safe riding him. His gait is nice slow to medium and he is developing a really nice rolling canter/lope and will come to an immediate stop whenever asked. He's not a horse for the person who wants to fly around all day long but will make the perfect partner for the individual who is just wanting to get on horseback and take a nice leisurely ride. We don't usually look to place a horse in a setting where "the whole family" will be riding them as that can be a tough life for any horse, but Eagle is one of those few that could be just right for the occasional visitor/grandchild/etc to get on and enjoy for a while. Saddle up and get ready for a steady/smooth flight... SOLD Reg. TWHBEA Alt. Picture1 2 Tack Picture1 2 |

Who needs the
President... An Executive Order will deliver everything
you'll ever need or want for some great trail riding. He's a 4y/o, 14.3h TWH with color to die for and a gait that's even better, no trot/pace/etc., just smooth riding at any speed. XO is simple to operate and almost anyone that can climb up in the saddle should have no problem riding him. He's very sweet/loving and just an extremely steady minded horse about anything that has ever come up. Down the road, on the trail, around the barn, and at the park, he's absolutely pure fun and enjoyment. I can't imagine who wouldn't love this guy and he'll give it right back at you. His color is a very deep Liver Chestnut and his mane and tail are beautiful and long. He stands still to mount/dismount, walks easily on a loose rein for as long as you like, and will step up into one of the best true "walking horse" gaits you may ever have the pleasure to ride. We've encountered deer, wild turkey, peacocks, and just about anything else mother nature has to offer here in Tennessee and he's been a perfect gentleman in every instance. All the usual daily stuff around the barn is a breeze and, of course, he'll hop up in the trailer for the asking and hop right out again for some serious fun wherever you decide to go. He's always been at home anytime and anywhere and while we do most of our riding in the country, we'll sometimes go right down in the middle of Nashville to Percy Werner Park which offers hundreds of acres and miles of trails that expose us to hikers/bikers/joggers/ mountain bikes/cars/etc and like all of our guys, he just delivers an awesome ride every time out.

The "Perfect 10"...
Diez is to horses what Porsche is to sports cars. He's one of the most beautifully marked you'll ever see and that isn't even the good stuff. He's a 3y/o, 15h, SSH that has lived up to, and beyond, our expectations for him. His gait is wonderfully smooth at any speed, he's developing a great canter, he'll neck rein like a seasoned pro, and if you want a horse you can train to do about anything your heart desires, then this may just be the "one". Lisa can direct him using her weight in the saddle and her legs and he seems to tune in to your mind and give you just what you want. Like a really great handling sports car, you can almost become one with him and the smiles he can bring to a face is hard to hold back. On the trail he's been as good as the very best we've ever owned, of any age, and he just gets better and better. Diez has the sure-footed ability of a billy-goat and so far, the terrain can't seem to get too difficult for his natural ability. He's very careful where he places his feet and steep rocky ups/downs have yet to be a problem. All the unusual things that come up along the trail have never been an issue from wild turkey to deer to riding alone to tackling some new obstacle. He's simple and easy to bathe, clip, load/unload, shoe, stands still to mount/dismount, and will walk easily on a loose rein until asked for more. He carries himself like a beautiful show horse but has never pulled at the reins or tried to go faster than asked. We've raised him from a yearling and like any proud parents, we are very proud at how he's matured and turned out. I've learned from years of owning and being around many horses that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that the "perfect horse" is just the same, but as far as I am concerned, Diez is a close to a 10 as his name and my own "perfect" Wildman...

![]() Jordie is happy to walk and LOVES to gait... ![]() |
It's like he's
wearing Air Jordans... Jordano is one really super talented
trail horse that makes the riding so much fun it's hard to stop. He reminds me of a mix of my horse Bomber and Champagne Blackout who are two of my favorites to call our place home. He's calm and steady in every situation we've encountered, yet he has all the "go forward" it takes to tackle the very toughest terrain. We just love having horses who would be "lifer's" here because when the right match is made we know they'll live out their days at their next home. Jordie is a 6y/o 15.1h TWH who stays jet black all year round, in or outside. His personality is the best and so it's always a pleasure to be doing something, anything, with him. He's got one of those super smooth gaits to die for and his "dog walk" is just as smooth and easy to ride so it won't matter if your riding buddies are gaited or non-gaited. Nothing has distracted him from delivering a solid trail ride and he's just as happy alone as with a group and doesn't give a care about front/middle/back of the group. All the routine stuff is a breeze, your farrier will love him, stands to mount/dismount, and is a real lover always coming to you for some more. We rode up on some deer, as shown in the video below, and had the opportunity to just sit and chill with 'em for a while before they moved on. Like every other situation with Jordie, he could not have cared less and even quietly moved in for a closer look. He's an incredible partner for most riders and once you ride him and feel that "thing" he has going on you'll be hooked. Put him on your team and you'll have a superstar.... SOLD Reg.

![]() Rocky's color is a very deep chocolate chestnut ![]() |
You'll want to
Rock all the time...Sky's Rockin' Pearl Jam came here, like
a lot of our guys, as a yearling. Along the way Lisa took a shine to him and began to do most of his work herself. He's turned into exactly what he was destined to be from the start, a totally awesome trail partner. So far, absolutely nothing has ever bothered him from all the usual stuff to the sometimes unusual, like a high powered leaf blower that he seems drawn to every time I use it. Rocky has such a nice gait and like so many horses she trains, Lisa has put a really nice canter on him as well. He's a 4y/o TWH who just gets more sweet/beautiful every day. At 15h, he's a great size for most any rider to mount/dismount easily and he stands perfectly still until you ask him to move off. Out on the trail he has never seemed to care what comes up, how many horses are riding, riding off alone, or where he may be asked to ride in the group. His mind is so steady and solid that riding him is easy for most anyone and I suspect that even the timid or beginner rider would feel confident and at ease on his back. He's stocky enough to carry rider and gear easily all day and if you want to camp, he's ready for the tie line as well. Rocky is really just another really special horse that will make a wonderful life partner for some special horse person. He's the kind of horse that loves everybody, he'll meet you at the gate, and more fun to be with than most people you probably know. All the regular daily things are simple and easy with him and the farrier will love to come and shoe him for you. But the best way to find out just how really special he is will be to meet him in person because he'll tell you everything you need to know once you hang out with him for a while. Rock on....SOLD Alt. Picture1 2 3 4 5 Trail Picture1 2 3 4 5 |
![]() Sid is light chestnut with a mixed silver mane/tail.. ![]() |
He's
always been a Mama's boy...Teddy Bear's Sid just that, a big
ol' teddy bear. He was bred for, raised, loved and owned by the same lady until we brought him home to live with us. Sid is a big, gentle, sweet 16.1h 5y/o registered TWH that's been a beloved family member as well as awesome and safe trail partner. He's about as solid and steady as any living horse could be and truthfully, if you can't ride him you really just do not need a horse, period. His size is anything but intimidating because from the moment you walk up to him and begin to take in his personality you are just automatically at ease. Sid has been accustomed to a mounting block but he's plenty easy to mount from the ground as well, and you can always dismount the easy way by just sliding off his butt. no block necessary. Out on the trail he's very competent and capable in even extremely steep terrain since he was raised up at the foot of the mountains of Tennessee. Nothing seems to divert his attention from delivering a safe/steady ride every time he's saddled up and at the prime age of 5y/o, the very best is yet to come. Sid is consistent and settled so if you don't ride him for a while he'll still be the same reliable guy the next time out. That's not to say you won't really be missing the days you don't ride him because he is such a pleasure to be around. He's just as happy to ride out alone as in a group and he's never cared where he's located or if the others ride off for the occasional pit stop. If you want to ride hard and fast then this is definitely NOT the horse for you. But, if you looking for a laid back easy riding horse that's happy to walk all day until asked for more then he may just be your huckleberry. It's now OK for grownups to have a real Teddy Bear...

Have you ever
seen a full moon at Midnight...Shades of Midnight may have you staying up late just to see how beautiful it is and he's just as nice. He's a 5y/o SSH with a gait and willingness that will rival the best and has beauty, both inside and outside, to go along with them. Shade's an extremely polite and sweet horse that would never think of invading your space yet he's a very loving and affectionate guy. He never seems bothered by new stuff out on the trail so taking him strange places is always fun, not a problem. He's so easy to handle on the ground or under saddle, taking all the routine stuff just like you'd expect from a gentleman. There are so many beautiful shades in every color of the rainbow, but this 15.1h guy may have you dreaming in black and white, the real Shades of Midnight, instead of full color.... SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture We very recently had a neighbor who experienced probably the worst horror that any of us who love and make horses our family could endure. During the middle of the night his new barn caught fire and burned to the ground before firefighters and emergency crews could save it. The barn was fully involved by the time anyone knew of the fire and tragically all thirty horses lost their lives. The point of mentioning this is to note that the reason Shade was mark as sold, & now not, is that we gladly donated him to a benefit auction to raise money to help this young family, which includes brand new twins. Because I really like this horse so much I bought him again for the second time and he came right back home. This is why he is now listed back available for anyone who loves horses to consider making their own. I love him and you will, too... |

No wedding
necessary to have a Best Man... Vigor's Best Man
requires no ceremony to be the very best Best Man you could hope to find. We brought him home as a yearling and he's now a great 3y/o and he's been nearly perfect his entire life. He's a 14.3h TWH who, as his videos show, not only has the perfect gait to ride and enjoy at any speed but he also has the perfect mind to take on any challenge from the mundane to the really fun. Out on the trail he is one of the best all terrain mounts you could ride and don't think that because he is smaller that he won't/can't do any and every thing the bigger boys do. He's one of those horses that never minds what comes up from wildlife to motorized stuff and of course like all of our horses, dogs running around under foot is a daily occurrence. It's just amazingly fun to bring up a horse like Best Man because he always understands what he's being asked and complies so willingly every single time. His gait is one of the steadiest you could ride at any speed and he doesn't require any previous gaited horse experience to get it. He'll gladly walk all day long and do it on a loose rein or you can ask him to step up into his gait and he is developing a super smooth/rolling trail lope/canter. All of the routine barn and ground stuff is so simple anyone can do it and under saddle he's just absolutely one of the easiest horses from saddle up to final dismount and every thing in between. We are committed to starting out with the right ingredients in every horse and Best Man has them all plus some. Save a lot of money when bypass the wedding and just go straight for the Best Man...

![]() Brad is a very deep Bay/White tri-color TWH ![]() |
He's anything but
"just plain Brad"...Brad may have a very plain name but that's where the plain/regular stuff ends. He's a 5y/o, 15.1h that is a 110% trail horse in every sense of the word. You won't find the terrain that he can't tackle in style and with all the confidence you could ever hope to find in any horse. He's about as beautifully marked/made as horses come with a rich color seldom found among the bay/white tri-colors. His tail is a mixed black/white with his mane having perfect black and white sections from foretop to withers. He has some really faint white shading around his eyes that set them off in a way I've never seen before. Brad is absolutely awesome and as nearly flawless on the trails as any horse I've had the pleasure to ride and the going will NOT get too tough for him in any situation we've encountered. He'll ride out alone, is happy in any group setting, and doesn't seem to care where in the group he happens to find himself. Brad will neck rein, back, walk slow on a loose rein, step up and gait at any speed you choose, and short lope the best. Up or down hills, rocky or muddy, jumping logs or whatever as needed, all come easy when riding Brad as he just does the job every time out and he makes it fun. Like all of our horses, he delivers a steady/solid ride each time we saddle him up and he never seems to get bothered by new or different stuff whether it's wildlife or a big piece of junk. Naturally, he bathes/clips/loads/stands to mount/does all the routine things just like a great horse should and would. While I like to believe that a great name for him to match his great qualities would have been easy to come up with, I'll take him and be happy that he's "just plain Brad"... SOLD Reg.

![]() Tip's price is going up so don't miss a great buy... ![]() |
You'll be Tipping
your hat... Tipping Out Loud was so quiet growing up that I accidentally forgot his age and let him get 3 1/2 y/o before we brought him into the barn to begin his saddle work. We brought him home as a young baby and he was always a little small for his age so I had planned on letting him get slightly older than usual before beginning his saddle work. Now at 4y/o, he's turned out to be an excellent trail/pleasure mount. Tip is a very careful and competent trail horse who will surprise you with his natural ability to take on any type terrain with the skill of a seasoned veteran. His gait is very nice and easy to ride but he never minds walking down slowly on a loose rein. He does all the daily routine stuff with no fuss and always loves having his face/jaws rubbed. We've had some half brothers to Tip in the past and they seem to be late bloomers when it comes to really getting them fat and buff, but when it comes on at 5-6 y/o they are really some kind of horse. He stands a nice 15 hands today but I suspect that he'll make 15.2 hands mature. He's a reg. TWH and has some of the best old time bloodlines around in the spotted Tennessee Walkers, even though he only got stocking legs and 3 spots on his neck to go along with his white tipped tail. He stands still to mount/dismount, walks off slowly and easily, gaits whenever asked, and seems to try to please with every request. Tip has never been nervous or spooky out on the trail and has encountered all types of wildlife and trail obstacles without any hesitation. He's just a great young horse who, even though was started late, has come to the head of the class to be recognized. I may have forgotten his birthday before but I surely do remember him now days and Tip my hat to him... SOLD Reg. Papers Alt. Picture1 2 Head Picture |
![]() We raised Five from a yearling...... |
Give
me Five... Dakota's High Five will give you five, ten,
the sky is the limit. He's a 3y/o 15h TWH that has to be one of the gentlest colts we've ever started under saddle. From day one of his ground work he has been a perfect gentleman/student in every way. He absolutely loves people/attention and is always a dream to work, play with, or ride. His way of going is as stylish as it gets and his gait one of the nicest/easiest to be found. Five is the kind of horse that everyone would guess is much older than his years because of his solid/steady mind and his willingness to try anything reasonable that he is asked to do. With nearly perfect ground manners, it is hard to imagine that he could be even better under saddle, but he is. He ground ties, neck reins, and listens intently so riding him is as easy as counting to Five... Reg. Papers Alt. Picture |
![]() Lacy is one of the nicest horses, gelding or mare, we have ever owned, ridden, and enjoyed. She's also double registered in TWHBEA/SSHBEA . You'll never know Lacy is a mare without looking. ![]() |
Beautiful
as the song... Amazing Lace is as sweet as the sound of the
lyrics to the song for which she is named. Lacy has been a pampered girl her entire life, winning the 2002 SSHBEA Weanling World Championship in the Model Horse under halter class. The criteria for winning that Championship is to have all the best physical qualities of the breed including both beauty and conformation. She is now a gorgeous 8y/o, 15.2h perfect example of just why she was chosen as the winner of that championship. When we selected Lacy to join our horses and come home to live with us, she had been enjoying the good life and hadn't seen a saddle for almost 4 years. No problem. We had her dental work updated, got her ready to ride, saddled up and she headed out like she'd never missed a day. She's one of the smoothest, easiest riding trail horses we have today and every time I take her out she proves to me that she was just born with all the right stuff. Over the years we have found that there will always be someone that just cannot ride any horse, but I haven't met many who wouldn't be able to ride and enjoy Lacy. Out on the trail she seems right at home taking on new and different challenges confidently and competently. Her gait is wonderful and she's got a canter/lope that is just as much fun to ride. Lacy will gladly walk slowly as shown in several of her trail videos, but you never have to ask her twice to step up into her smooth awesome gait and she canters for the asking as well. And it doesn't matter if you ride her once a week, a month, or every six months. She has always proven to be the exact same great ride every time we have ever saddled her. She pastures well with geldings and mares but she also stalls just great. We just don't often find really great horses with age and wonderful history but Lacy is one of those rare finds that easily fits in the Amazing category. SOLD Reg. Papers Alt.

![]() We have the nearly perfect twin to Easy ready now and will be posting full info on Tip very soon.... ![]() |
His name says it
all... Taking It Easy is just how he does it. But
don't let his name fool you because he has more than enough to get the job done right and everything needed in a great trail/pleasure horse. Easy is a 4y/o SSH who moves with all the class of a show horse but has the wonderful mind necessary for all the things that come up out on the trail. He stands a full bodied 15h and could easily carry most riders anywhere they want to go. On one trail ride, we decided to trail blaze and find a cave1 2 3 4 5 we'd heard about. The terrain we covered was pretty challenging, and yet Easy covered it just as expected, easily. And we did find the cave which, of course, Lisa just had to explore. The horses decided they would stay above ground!!! He loves a bath, stands still whenever asked to, loads/shoes/clips/etc with no issues, and is just a blast to hang around. His gait is extremely smooth/simple for anyone to ride at any speed and he's got a really nice little short lope/canter to go along with it. We spend a lot of time/effort to have a soft and responsive mouth on all of our horses and Easy is no exception. He listens very carefully to his rider and gives just what he's asked responding to the slightest cue from the reins. In the trail videos below you can see our friend riding an almost exact mate to Easy, although the two horses are not related to each other. (We raised Tip, the mate, from a baby and he'll be ready very soon.) If you're looking to find a really fun and simple horse to play with on the trail, it would be difficult to come up with better than Easy. He makes it all seem so effortless and still has more than enough to satisfy even the seasoned rider who likes to play. Make no mistake, simple and Easy can be maximum fun... SOLD Reg.

![]() Bubblelicious could not be more gentle at 20 y/o! ![]() Bubblelicious is developing a wonderful canter... |
She's simply
Delightful... Delightful Colors by M & M has been a
pure delight her entire life. We brought her home as a baby straight from he moma's side and she's been growing up and learning how to be a companion and trail partner ever since. Bubblelicious, a name Lisa coined for her when she first came here, is just about as sweet and gentle as any horse could possibly be. She's a smaller size girl who, even though her daddy was 16 plus hands, will only make about 14.2h but it is put in a beautiful package with all the right stuff. Her gait is really nice at any speed and her disposition is truly awesome. We didn't start her under saddle until last fall since she was smaller and from day one in the round pen she's never done anything except the right thing. On the trail she has always been rock solid never minding anything new and tackling every challenge like a horse several times her age. Coming a 4y/o, she's got a lifetime to grow and fulfill some lucky somebody's dreams. Bubblelicious has enough "go forward" to get any job done yet is always more than happy to walk out on a loose rein so if you've got some friends who are still riding non-gaited horses (it's hard to believe they still exist), they will be able to go along with ease. With her laid back, easy going nature she's the type horse to help anyone feel confident. Like all of our guys, her ground manners are great from the stall/pasture to the trail and back again and your farrier will love to see her. Lisa had always intended to keep her for herself but since she's 5' 11" it just didn't seem the right fit. Now even when you can't chew gum you can always have your fix with Bubblelicious... SOLD Don't let her age worry you as she's been gentle as a lamb her entire life, and just gets better... Reg. TWHBEA Alt. Picture1 2 3 Head Picture1 Tack Picture1 |

No Architect
needed... Allen's Custom Design is everything that a
great designer would dream of if they were building a perfect horse. He's a sturdy 15.3h, 3y/o who will be able to carry most any size rider easily anywhere. His disposition is one of the best to be found and he's got a gait that is very hard to beat at any speed and in any terrain. He's also developing an easy rolling canter/lope that's fun to ride for both him and you. Design is one of those fun personality guys that is always a joy to be around whether riding, grooming, or just hanging out. We've even used him to herd around mares and babies and no matter what has been asked of him, he always answers with a yes. He is as solid on the trails as any horse can be taking on every challenge with confidence. Yeah, we're movin' on up to a dee-luxe Custom Design....SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture Trail Picture |
![]() Extremely handsome/gentle/smooth anybody horse |
You can be his
Sundance... Evil and Bold , aka Cassady, is about everything you could ever want in a perfect trail partner. He's a 7y/o, 15.1h TWH with lots of experience out in the real world of logs/ditches/hills/hollows/wildlife/cars/etc and it shows each time he's saddled up and heads out. Gentle enough for the timid yet bold enough to satisfy the adventurous, delivering it all with ease. Cassady has an extremely light mouth, will stop dead still with the slightest touch and he handles like a dream. He'll walk all day on a loose rein, step up into a wonderfully smooth natural gait (at any speed you choose) or canter down the trail like your favorite rocking chair and then come right back down to a walk or stop still for the asking. Ride in a group or ride out alone and feel confident on this safe, dependable boy. Add all that to his extremely handsome physical beauty and it's hard to imagine a better package if you designed it from scratch. Cassady loves a bath, loads easily, stands still to mount/dismount (from either side as do all our guys) and the farrier will smile from ear to ear every time he comes to your barn. You'll be smiling, too, because there seems to be no end to his willingness to please. And that beautiful chestnut/sorrel color really never looks dirty which makes riding on short notice a whole lot simpler because you can just wash his mane and tail and go have fun. I guess about the only thing he might not do is help you rob a bank... SOLD Reg. TWHBEA Tack Picture Trail Picture |

A Golden Boy in
every way... Rock's Golden Son had to be the apple of his momma's eyes because he is just about as close to perfect in every way as any horse could be. His manners are impeccable in hand and under saddle, his disposition is the absolute best, and riding him is miles & miles of smiles. Big Boy stands an impressive 16 hands yet he is gentle enough for anyone to ride and without trying to sound snotty, if you can't ride him you really don't need a horse, period. He's an 8y/o TWH who also has reg. papers from both spotted assns. as well as racking papers. Loving/sweet/gentle are only just the beginning of the qualities that come to mind as you spend time with him. He is happy to let you do anything you wish from the halter, to the trail, finish up with a bath and everything in between. This boy is truly Golden...

Picture Big Boy may be one of the gentlest, calmest, easiest to ride horses that we have ever owned. If you want to ride hard and fast this is definitely NOT the horse for you. But, if what you are looking to find is an extremely laid back and easy riding horse who is happy to walk all day unless you ask for more, then this definitely IS your huckleberry. He will ride out alone, in any size group, ride in the front/middle/back, stay behind, ride ahead, you name it and he is always more than happy to answer with a yes. Maybe the best part is that anywhere you go seems like he's been there before. I couldn't really expect to find a better example of the perfect trail/pleasure horse. Whoever chooses this Big Boy is getting one of the very best, enough said.............. |

First is
celebration, then it's Jubilation... Jubilation Design might
just be the horse of which dreams are made. He's one of the most handsome TWH you could meet and his disposition tops his beauty. Jubi is one of the easiest horses to ride, his gait is wonderful, and he has an easy canter that makes a day out on him too much fun. At 8y/o and 15.1h, he's perfect for almost any size rider and with his extremely sweet/loving disposition, you may find that you can't get enough of his company. Anything you want to do is a pleasure and when you're out on the trail, there never seems to be a situation that's a problem. All the routines from the stall to the trailer are so fun and easy that it's hard to decide just what to do. Every day's a celebration with Jubilation. Reg. Papers Head 1 2 Tack Trail Picture SOLD |
![]() Duke is a very handsome boy with a gentle heart ![]() |
The
Duke of Dukes... Justa Duke has the right name as he's
got the qualities of Royalty from start to finish. He's a 4y/o SSH with a disposition so gentle and friendly that every time we take him out for a ride it seems more fun than before. Duke has been absolutely fearless out on the trails, yet so laid back and easy to ride that I can't imagine but a few people that couldn't ride him. His gait is nice at any speed and Lisa has developed a canter/lope on him that he seems able to do literally forever. He's never been fretful and so he just doesn't waste energy whether you're walking, gaiting, or enjoying that wonderful canter/lope. He is out of one of Wildy's sisters and they just don't get much better natured than that and his daddy belongs to our neighbor down the road with whom we regularly go trail riding. He's been ridden in about every type terrain/situation imaginable in our part of the country and has always delivered the solid steady performance we have come to expect each time we saddle him up. Duke is a very big boned horse for his 15.1h size and can easily carry most anyone who could climb on all day without hesitation. He wears a #2 keg shoe up front and is so easy to shoe as well as to do all the other daily/etc routine stuff. He's very mellow out in the pasture and stays up in a stall equally as easy and has never caused any commotion or trouble wherever he's been. Duke seems happy to comply with any request we've ever made of him and has been one of the nicest horses at every age. He doesn't mind riding at home around the barn, on the trail, alone or in groups, and just always gives his best every time we saddle up. And with a guy like this, you'll be wanting to saddle up often. Join the Royal family with the Duke... SOLD Picture1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |

No funny business here... Risky Business could
easily have been named Good Business if a name says it all because, as far as riding is concerned, he's a winning decision. Cisco is the last son of Jubilation Design, listed on the Sold Horses page, before he was gelded and went on to his new and wonderful home where he now goes by the name Poncho. He is everything he's supposed to be based on his sire and dam's dispositions and it proves once again that to get great horses you MUST begin with great horses. He's measures 14.3h and is a very stoutly built horse, at coming 4y/o, with a wonderful gait and one of the sweetest/gentlest/most loving horses we've ever owned. Nothing has ever seemed to bother him or be a problem for him to handle from the type terrain you're riding to what odd things may come up out on the trail. And it really doesn't matter if you don't ride for a while because he's the same steady horse every time we've ever saddled up, since the very beginning. Cisco doesn't mind riding alone (none of our horses mind that), riding anywhere in a group, or having the group ride off from him. He's absolutely a dream to handle on the ground whether you're grooming, shoeing, tacking up, or just spending time hanging out (one of my personal favorites). He'll walk all day long on a loose rein and will gladly gait for the asking, always happy to slow back down and enjoy the scenery. Horses like Cisco are the kind that make those of us who spend all our time and money on horses want even more of them. He is truly just pure pleasure and if he's Risky Business, I'll take that risk any day.. SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture1 2 Alt.

Open up your
wallet...Top Dollar will make any other currency obsolete
when it comes time to go riding. He's a 12y/o, 15h, really wonderful/sweet example of a Tennessee Walking Horse and shows just why those who own/ride 'em love 'em. He's sweet, he's gentle. he's loving, he's very simple to operate and his gait is just about the nicest you'll ever ride at any speed you choose. He can walk slowly like a non-gaited horse and has one of the most comfortable walks I've ridden, but it gets even better when he steps up to move on down the trail. Lisa absolutely loves riding Dollar and I have a hard time getting an opportunity to trail ride him as she always calls "dibbs" on him first. His head-set is perfect and he carries him self with all the style of the fanciest show horse, yet has the calm/even disposition that we all want in our forever trail partners. I love riding a horse with a lot of "presence" to them and Dollar definitely has it. On the trail, he's been solid and never seems to mind anything that comes up along the way from tough terrain to the occasional "wild" life that tends to pop up from the underbrush. He seems to really like being trail ridden and seeing the countryside because his really keen ears point perfectly forward 99% of the time he's going down the trail. It's always been a pleasure to bathe, groom, shoe, clip, or any of the other routine stuff we've wanted to do with him. He stands to mount/dismount and walks off calmly when asked making it fun to saddle up and ride. Seldom does a really great older horse become available and when one like Dollar does, we don't have to think about it for a second before we jump at the opportunity. He is the type of horse that rarely comes along and somebody will be grinning from ear to ear when they exchange their "paper" dollars for one "equine" Top Dollar... SOLD Reg. Papers Alt.

It's almost
impossible to find a great cup of Java... Java Kai is
the full brother to Choco, and possesses the same very rare Silver Dapple color gene. He is a 2y/o TWH that started his saddle work in June and it seems he is going to have all the "right stuff" to be a wonderful horse. There are very few Chocolate Silver Dapple registered TWH but it looks like it is possible to breed for the color and get all the important qualities as well with just the right sire and dam. Java has an incredible mind and his gait is going to be just as nice. He's already jumping logs and climbing up on the platform and stumps/etc. We are working with Java both on the ground and under saddle. He won't be available until later this year as he is still in school but will be awesome when he's fully ready to offer. Head1 2 3 Body1 2 3 I would like to thank everyone who has expressed interest in Java Kai for the emails and calls. We had hoped to keep him around Evening Shade Farm for a while but he has been offered the opportunity to join Jubilation in a great new life. They'll both continue as trail/ pleasure horses, and also be trained to perform tricks and exhibit just how truly versatile this wonderful breed we have grown to love and respect can be. I am so happy that he has been chosen to join this awesome family of people and horses. We shot a couple of quick videos today to show just how amazing this young horse is and what a keen mind the TWH has at even such a young age. Again, thanks to all and most especially his new family.

Built Ford
Tough... Power Stroke's Ace has all the torque and
runs smoother than the 7.3L Power Stoke motor in my Ford truck. And really, he's way more fun to ride than it is to drive. He's a 9y/o SSH who's got more style than most show horses, yet his natural trail ability is second to none. At 14.2 hands, he is so easy to mount/dismount and is so agile and capable in any type terrain we've ever ridden off in for playing. Every time we take him out I find myself looking for Lisa (who loves riding him) because she'll be off somewhere playing in the deep woods climbing out of this place or sliding off into that one. Since she has spent so many years in the ER tending to the aftermath of horse wrecks/etc, she has become very careful and considers safety priority one. So, if she gets on and really tests a horse out in some tricky terrain I know that one is really something special. You'll swear Stroker is much bigger when you're riding him because he just feels like so much horse under you. But the beauty is that he's plenty gentle and safe for just about anyone that can climb on and ride. His gait is awesome at every speed and with his light/responsive mouth, riding him is almost too fun. Stroker absolutely LOVES a bath and being groomed/pampered so just hanging out with him is a blast. He loads/unloads/shoes/clips/etc with perfect ease and so you'll never find yourself frustrated trying to do any of the routine daily stuff. It isn't very often that we find a truly solid/great older horse because folks usually just don't part with them but every once in a while we get lucky and this was one of those times. He's just about any/everything a horse lovin' trail ridin' person could want in their perfect partner and truly is a Stroker of luck to find... SOLD Reg. Alt. Pic1 2 Head1 2 Trail Pic1 2 3 |

He's a joy with which to work no matter what you want to do and his mind is as keen and sharp as his looks. Smokey has been getting all different types of training both on the ground and under saddle so he's going to be one versatile young boy.

Nothing has ever been a big deal with him and it doesn't matter what comes along or what you want to teach him, he's always right on. His mouth is extremely light and responsive making every ride out on him so easy. He'll walk as slowly as you like, step up to a really nice gait, and if you like a really nice gentle canter/lope, then you may have just found your huckleberry.

Hershey has the kind of people loving disposition that makes him a blast to be around and his manners under saddle are just solid. His ability on the trails is about as good as it gets never having a problem with anything we've encountered. I personally find him to be one of the best horses in the woods that I've ridden and he just gets better each ride. He's able and willing to tackle whatever the terrain may be and traffic/wildlife/joggers/cows/etc are all mundane to him. Hershey will walk slow and easy until asked for more and one of those rare horses that never minds gaiting or cantering for as long as needed yet always happy to drop right back to a walk or stop and stand. 100% Fat Free...SOLD Reg.

At 14.3h, he's a perfect size for the rider looking to stay a little closer to mother earth, but his size will fool you. Cole seems to grow once you mount up and you'd swear he's an inch or two taller, yet he's gentle and easy enough for most anyone to ride. He does all the routine stuff like we expect every one of our guys to do and once you saddle up, it's just plain fun. Nothing ever seems to bother him and he's very savvy out on the trail taking whatever comes along with a willing/winning attitude. Cole has a wonderful gait at any speed and a really nice lope, too.

His ground manners are the absolute best, his gait is incredible (even in a bit-less bridle), and his willingness to please is second to none. Mack has one of the sharpest minds to be found and he returns a better horse every time we go out to ride. He loves people and is always there for you no matter what or when you ask. Out on the trail horses just don't come any more solid, willing, and able.

He'll catch you

using witchcraft but he'll sure weave a might spell once you've ever sat on his back to sample his ride. He's a big 5y/o triple registered TWH/SSHBEA/NSSHA gelding who stands a very accurate 16.1h for those who like 'em on the taller side. Once you ride him you'll be pretty much ruined for any other gait and with those long legs of his, he can cover a lot of ground with a little effort. Magic will gait easily at any speed, will stay in his gait for the time he's asked, but is always happy to check back down to his very smooth comfortable slow walk. He'll also canter for the asking and always settles right back into a walk. On the trail he seems never bothered by anything we've ever encountered from wildlife to motorized stuff to the just plain old strange stuff that occasionally pops up while riding. While he is plenty big to carry anyone that can reach the stirrups, he's about as gentle as you can find. It seems like in the TWH that the bigger they are, the gentler they seem to be. He's very sure-footed and can traverse any type terrain we have come across in our area and that varies from very flat to very hilly, water, logs down, plenty of rock, and roadside riding as well. All of the daily routine chores are a breeze with Magic and your farrier will absolutely love him. Magic is very sweet and loving so working around him on the ground, in the stall, and especially on his back are nothing short of pure equine/human pleasure. The more time you spend with him, the more you'll find he truly is one very specially talented boy with just about everything ever needed in a wonderful trail/pleasure companion.

Man...Solid Gold Wolf Man
has never heard of The Guess Who but he's sure one Wolf Man you'll be clapping for again and again. He's a great 4y/o TWH that is just pretty much the total package from looks to gait to disposition and beyond. He stands a very well made 15.3h and is plenty stout to carry most anyone that can mount him anywhere they want to ride. His gait is extremely smooth and easy for any person to ride at any speed from dog walk right on up through the running walk. And his lope/canter is one of the nicest I've ever ridden. Wolf Man is one of those rare horses that has all the heart and ability even the most seasoned veteran could want and yet calm/gentle enough for almost anyone to ride. He is incredibly sure footed in even the trickiest type terrain and will take you places you wouldn't believe. His presence and way of going have all the bling you could ask for and he does it all on a loose rein. We have looked at probably a hundred gold horses over the years and yet we've only bought and brought home maybe fifteen of them. That's because not many gold horses have all the great qualities we look for and demand from our horses. You can be confident that Wolf Man has everything necessary to make you one of the finest trail/pleasure horses you could ever enjoy. He's happy to stay up in a stall but loves to be out in the pasture romping with buddies and I've found zero vices or bad habits. These pictures are nice but they really don't do justice to his true beauty. He has become one of my favorite trail mounts, getting even better each ride.

Nothing trumps
the Ace... Outlaw's Spotted Ace gives you the
winning hand every time you decide to play. He's a big, stout, gentle to a fault, 6y/o TWH who's only purpose seems to be pleasing his riding partner. It would be very hard to find a sweeter soul and ,like I have found all the bigger TWH to be, he's so simple to handle that even the beginning horse person should have no problems doing what ever they may choose. At 16.2h you'll find him everything except intimidating so unless you can't mount his size, he'll be a breeze to ride. Out on the trail he's very steady taking on trail challenges with ease whether it's crossing water/ditches/log wildlife/etc. Ace will gladly ride out alone (something any good trail horse should do), he'll ride anywhere in a group of horses, and while he'll always step up into that awesome TWH gait, he's more than happy to walk down slowly like the stock type non-gaited horses or stand to enjoy a relaxing moment visiting with friends. Going uphill or down, fast or slow, tricky terrain, and all the rest just comes easy. Getting up in the saddle is simple since he stands stock still and doesn't move off until asked. His gait is very smooth and like any great trail horse, he won't need special "anything" to enjoy it. He's any easy keeper, a good housekeeper, farriers will love him, and his overall disposition is totally wonderful. We seldom seem to find 16 plus hands guys but here's one that will deliver just what you order every time you saddle up and head out whether it's a quick hack around the stable or a sure enough trail outing.

His disposition is rivaled only by his wonderful natural gait and it really doesn't matter what you want to do, he will give you his best. Out on the trails he is very laid back and confident taking whatever position he fills easily.

He'll have you
rounding up a posse...Deputy Jack definitely deserves some sort of badge because he's about as straight and solid as Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry. This 4 y/o, 15.2h reg. KNGHA has one of the very best dispositions we ever had in any horse and he just keeps getting better. We've ridden every type of trail Tennessee has to offer, ridden down country roads for miles, and it doesn't matter to him where he is or what comes up because nothing has ever bothered him one single bit so far. DJ has a nice smooth slow to fast gait and he'll do it whenever you ask, but his canter is even more amazing. You'll always hear the term "rocking chair canter" but rarely ever experience it as most horses just do a regular canter/lope (except for the over exaggerated show horses). DJ does the real thing and it's not man made but just the totally natural way he canters. It's really awesome to ride and feels so nice under you that I have to watch out that I don't spend too much time doing it. He has some of the best ground manners imaginable and is a perfect gentleman for anything you choose to do from baths to clipping to shoeing to whatever. DJ has the kind of personality that makes him seem almost human at times and he gets totally into you when you're doing anything from stall cleaning to mowing the grass/etc. While I never say that any horse is bombproof/kid broke/etc or any other statements to infer that horseback riding is a no-brainer and totally safe activity, I will say that DJ has proven time and again to me that he's probably as safe as you can be on a live horse. He may be the gentlest/sweetest/steadiest minded horse we have ever owned. All in all, he's just one of those horses born great and gettin' greater.

Pepper has been shown successfully and trail ridden all over the state of Tennessee. He neck reins, parks out (even when you're on his back), jumps logs and etc, is very careful, has a nice lope, and will carry you all day long gladly. If you like to ride fast he's got your gait, but if you want to go slowly that suits him just fine too. Some like it salty, but I'll take Pepper Jack. Bay/White gelding. Foaled 06/95 SOLD Reg.

There's Gold in
those hills.... At least there will be if you're on Gold Sundust and everyone's gonna notice. He's Gold Champagne, and a TWH gelding that is eager to take you wherever you want to go, and just wait until he sheds. He clips, loads, bathes, stands still to mount/dismount, neck reins, backs, and has a gait you couldn't buy with gold. He's SMOOTH. Whether you're a beginner, looking for a great field trial horse, a gentle horse for youth or adult rider, Sunny is your guy. At 15.1 hands he is a great size for anyone to enjoy and plenty experienced at seven years old. Head Picture SOLD |

Just do it!!!
Just Waldo H is truly a horse that anyone of any age
can ride and have a great time. He's one of the sweetest and gentlest geldings we have ever had the pleasure to own, and at 6y/o and 14.2h he is nearly perfect for any rider. This TWH/SSH will take you to the show ring or the trails and give you one of the best rides of your life. He parks out, bathes, clips, loads himself in the trailer (he can't hook the rope), and has some of the overall best manners you will find. His gait is very, very smooth and he has a light responsive mouth that makes riding a joy. You can ride him in a halter or a snaffle bit and his gait is just as smooth either way. Waldo is just pure pleasure... SOLD Reg. Papers Head Tack AltPicture |

Knock one out of
the park... Grand Slam will give you the feeling that you just hit a homer. He's as solid and steady as any 3y/o TWH gelding you could find and his gait is one of the absolute best. On the trails he has the perfect step at any speed and is so careful and confident that you just know everything is fine. His disposition is so sweet and loving that any time you can spend with him is pure pleasure. His mouth is light and responsive and riding him is like driving a well tuned car, handling any type terrain with ease. Grand Slam has near perfect ground manners so all the daily routines are fun and easy and his manners under saddle are just as nice. He's stands 15.2h today and should easily grow to 16h. Batterrrr up... SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture |
![]() Secret is an incredibly intelligent and gentle horse |
Psssst!! I've got
a Secret... Weapon's Secret Threat can't hide the
fact that he's one of the most solid minded horses you could ever find. If his birthday wasn't on his papers, anyone that rode him would swear he'd have to be much older. His gait is one of the smoothest and it takes absolutely no effort to ride at any speed. Lisa rode him in the Christmas parade here where hoards of kids of all ages just had to come up and pet him, one even carrying a big balloon that kept bumping his face. He was perfect from start to finish. Secret loves all the attention you'll give him and if you don't want a horse to love and dote on look somewhere else. He seems to always be interested in new stuff and really enjoys new challenges. He stands a really nice 15.1h and will fill out to make a great sized horse. Meet him and you'll want to keep this Secret forever.SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture1 2 Alt. Picture1 2 3 4 5 6 |

Just ask
Sherwin-Williams...Painter Colors' personality is as
neat as his beautiful markings and color. He's playful and funny always wanting to be close to people, yet very gentle and respectful. Painter's a 16.2h, 4y/o TWH gelding that will be very stoutly built and able to carry anyone when he tops out. His disposition is very laid back which makes him fun and safe yet he's got the ability to give all that's needed in any situation we've encountered. Painter has a smooth easy gait, a light responsive mouth, and is very easy to ride at home or out on the trail. He'll come running if you call his name and is always generous with his affection no matter where you may be, and happy to let you perform all the routine stuff with absolutely no problems. This is one set of Colors that you will never want to put away...SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture Alt. Picture |

So you want top
ratings...Just for Prime Time is set to show you all the
very best there is to see. He is a beautiful 8y/o TWH gelding with the kind of disposition we all want in our partner. His manners are some of the best you could find and he is extremely sweet and loving. A half brother to one of our favorite colts raised here, Widespread Panic, he exhibits all the same qualities that made us love him so. PT will walk slow as far as you want to go and has a wonderful gait that will take you just as far. He's one of those rare horses that can help build confidence in the saddle as he is very solid and very easy to ride in most any situation. With years of great trail riding experience to his credit, he might just win you an Emmy.... SOLD Reg. Papers Head Picture Tack Picture |

Anything but
trouble...Mike's Turble Troble , yes that's how it's
spelled, is about as far from trouble as fun riding can be. He's a 15.1h TWH with such a wonderful disposition that you might want to take him in the house with you. His gait is smooth and easy to ride at any speed and he has the kind of gentle mind that makes him pure pleasure to be around. Mike has been ridden in all types of terrain, he swims, rides double, in a halter, has regularly been ridden through an underground tunnel that gets to the other side of Natchez Trace, and just never seems to take issue with anything new. He's one of those great younger 4y/o horses that make the great older horses everybody always admires and wishes they owned. Miss out on Mike and you may just have real trouble.. Reg.

![]() 3/21/09 Laredo had been on a 1.5 year vacation but he's gone back to work now and has proven what an awesome horse he really is. He went back like he'd never missed a day of riding and again I find that the really great ones are just born to be... |
So you like it
western...Laredo has just what you're looking to
find. He is one beautiful horse with a color and build that make him so unique. At 11y/o and a stout 1100lbs/15.2h, this big ol' boy can take you anywhere you desire and do it safely every time. He's actually five gaited as he can walk/trot/gait slow to fast with the very best and has the perfect lope. Nothing ever seems to bother him & he's happy to walk on a loose rein or give you plenty mo' if that's what you want. He was Lisa's personal horse for a few years before Mojo and we'd decided that we'd just keep him forever. But Laredo is way too great not to be really enjoyed by someone wanting a totally awesome horse partner. He's comfortable to ride in any type trail/terrain you choose and feels so incredible underneath you. You'll find him very willing/able and he's enough to satisfy the most seasoned rider yet also gentle for anyone who can ride horses to enjoy. Go west.. SOLD Head Picture Trail Picture1 2 3 Laredo has everything you could want/need in a great trail partner/companion unless you're hung up on papers. He is not registered in any official association. |

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.....
