Tennessee was the 16th state in the USA; it was admitted in 1796. The three stars on Tennessee’s state flag represent the three glorious regions in this beautiful state. The Tennessee Walker or Tennessee Walking Horse is one of the state symbols of Tennessee. It is a gentle and comfortable riding horse. The breed was originally bred in the Southern United States to carry the owners of plantations around their lands. Their unique four-beat "running walk" is especially comfortable to ride, making the breed a well-suited trail companion. The breed is rarely seen in any of the sport horse disciplines; however, they are good for trail riding because of their smooth gaits, stamina and easy temper, and are also seen in Western riding disciplines and in harness. West Tennessee is host to the second most visited home in the United States, Graceland, home to Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n Roll. http://directory.localriding.com/%cat_tags%/ en-us The USEA Area III website is a volunteer effort for US Eventers in the Southeast.
