Tennessee Walking Horse - Uses

Uses

The Tennessee Walker is used for horse show events, particularly under saddle seat-style English riding equipment, but is also a very popular trail riding horse, both in Western riding equipment as well as English. They are seen in small numbers in endurance riding, though are not competitive at the international level. The breed is a popular parade horse, and has been used in television, movies and other performing events. For example, the Lone Ranger's horse "Silver" was at times played by a Tennessee Walker, "Trigger, Jr.," the successor to the original Trigger made famous by Roy Rogers which was also a Tennessee Walker. The position of mascot of the University of Southern California Trojans, Traveler, was once held by a horse of Tennessee Walker bloodlines.
