Tennessee Walking Horse

This breed has a unique pace that is called Running Walk. There is a competition for the horse who can lift it's legs the highest. Unfortunately, some people, to win the competition will put kinds of acid on their horses legs, wrapping them with plastic wrap and putting metal around their feet, this process is called soring. It makes every step the horse makes terribly painful, making their legs lift higher. Hence it's name, it is from Tennessee, USA. The breed is generally 15 hands, they can be any colour but mainly they are black, chestnut grey and brown. Most of these horses are charismatic, gentle and calm.
