Tennessee Walking Horse
Hardeman developed an interest in the Tennessee Walking Horse. He owned, rode, and trained several horses and was active in the National Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration in Shelbyville. He was a judge during the 1939 celebration and continued to participate during the 1940s as a rider and an owner. One of his horses, Maid of Cotton, won a Tennessee Walking Horse championship and continued to live in the stable on the Hardeman property until Hardeman sold him. Maid of Cotton died in 1964.
Hardeman attended all Walking Horse celebrations until his death.

Famous quotes containing the words walking and/or horse:
“Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The steed bit his master;
How came this to pass?
He heard the good pastor
Cry, ‘All flesh is grass.’”
—Unknown. On a Clergyman’s Horse Biting Him (l. 1–4)
