Here is a pic of my field trial/dog working/show Tennessee Walker. 16 Hands and a bit broke to ground tie, could shoot off his back, could stand in the saddle to scout a dog and he likely "FOUND" more dogs on point then I did. I hunted off him in 6 states and he never missed a lick as they say. He is gone now and I miss him.....

What a thoroughly majestic animal. As a kid in the early sixties, I had a half Tennessee Walker half thoroughbred that I used for jump meets and he was much too skidish for hunting but tried once and he took me for a mile jaunt through the woods and not on a path either. He was a big dark chestnut standing 16.3 hands and worked with a double split curb and snaffle and a running martingale. Always rode with a forward seat saddle. I miss all my horses.

Good ones are hard to replace. Just got the call last night from a friend and he moving forward with his trial first weekend in April. Judges will ride a be a few scouts. Back in the day we had a number of open shows where we had Saddlebreds and Walking horses and hunters at all of them. |

I think I’d kinda like to go ride in the National one time before I meet my demise . Although I might be a little to stiff and or brittle anymore to ride every race .

If you are going to ride Ames DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT go on the weekends. Its a cluster with every cowboy and cow girl riding. It looks like a cluster and is no fun. Go during the week with much smaller crowd.
