The Tennessee Walker originated from the Narragansett Pacer and the Canadian Pacer. It was while on the look out for a better breed which would be calm and traverse the rough terrains of Tennessee that the breeders came upon such a horse. This horse was also known as the Tennessee Walking Horse. It was later used for carrying owners of plantation of Tennessee with ease and comfortableness while they inspected and surveyed their vast areas.

The Tennessee Walker is good for trial riding and has a smooth gait, great stamina and easy temper. The horse is very easy to train and can be ridden by woman and young people.
