tn walker stuff

tn walkers get such a bad rap!!!i live in eatern tn where there is nothing but tn walkers!!!they are the best trail horses and are very showy.i know about all the bad stuff that people are doing to them but none of the people that i see show their tn walkerws that way!they are all friendly poeple.their are probably not even 5-6 people that use pads and i dont think that they are bad at all.only when people go too far,same with chains or any other stuff that the tn walkers get a bad rap from!the reason why is because the people want to win soo much that they go over the limits and hurt the horses.if you use a small pad and 2-6mm chains on your horse they will not be crippled for life or broken or whatever people are saying.ive met some very good horses that have pads on them!they preform great and they dont look to be in any pain.just like whith any other breed of horse their are steroe types but not like this!!!...well maybe with arabians...

I live in Ohio and I'm not in the show world at all but I have seen some tn walkers and none of them had pads either. The walkers I've seen and had the opportunity to ride were great and their owners didn't use anything but normal shoes on them. They are a beautiful breed with great personalities! Before I found my spotted saddle horse, a walker was what I was actually looking for - but I found my guy who stole my heart!
