LINKS TO INDIVIDUAL WEBSITES OF OUR SOCIETY FOUNDERS (and other useful sites)
Northern Foundations Farm
Diane Sczepanski, Whitehall, Wisconsin, has taken horses that have come from the breeding programs of other Heritage Society members. We can offer riders in the north the foundation bred horses without the driving distance.
Pleasure Gaits
Sandra van den Hof is one of the few TWH breeders in Europe. She is keen on promoting the breed all over the European continent. Based in Belgium, Sandra promotes, imports, breeds, trains, and sells Tennessee Walking Horses with old bloodlines for what they are originally bred for.
Canadian Walking Horse News
The Canadian Walking Horse News is dedicated to the plain shod horse in Canada. They have a magazine that has been in publication for 27 years. One of the series featured in the magazine is the "From Foundations to the Future" articles written by Franne Brandon.
Four Craftsmen Publishing
This family owned company published the "Biography of the Tennessee Walking Horse" by Ben Green. You can order the book from their website. They also publish the "Walking Horse Journal" magazine. Six times a year subscribers receive the only US magazine published specifically for people who own, use and train Tennessee Walking Horses for work and pleasure use.Any given edition may include special articles on training, letters from readers, ranch reports, tips on trails to ride, health care information and preparedness help for disasters. Articles trace unusual blood lines, color genetics, and much more. The Walking Horse Journal pointedly ignores shows and the politics associated with showing. That leaves room for ranch horses used for rounding up cattle, trail horses used in search and rescue and trail patrol, Walking horses used in reining and jumping events, and back yard pets.
Walking Horse On-Line
Visit Kathy's site to see our other webpage. Kathy has a great site and it is dedicated to the flat shod horses. It's one of the few horse sale sites that does not allow stacked and chained horses to be sold on it.
Making the Gait

|
Making the Gait: Abuse and Corruption in the Tennessee Walking Horse Industry, is the true story of the sored Tennessee Walking Horse. Chemically burned and tortured for the last six decades, the high-stepping Tennessee Walking Horse show horse has suffered too much, for too long. In the name of competition, sore-horse trainers are willing to experiment with any form of abuse to produce the coveted Big Lick; to make the gait. Making the Gait tells the story of the sore Tennessee Walking Horse through messages of hope. These are stories about horses that have been saved, and about people who courageously stand up to the intimidation of the Tennessee Mafia. |
