Riding a Barefoot Tennessee Walking Horse Naturally - Natural Tennessee Walking Horse Gaits - Tilley

A well bred Tennessee Walking Horse can gait naturally. It does not need special shoes,or weights or long toes or angles. It just needs training and conditioning and for the rider to ride it correctly. Tilley use to have regular shoes, but when one recently fell off I just kept her barefoot. She is wearing protective boots as we have gravel around the barn which is not comfortable to walk barefoot on. Notice even when I ride one handed I always have some contact with the reins, the reins are not totally loose and floppy. These horses gait much better and smoother if you ride with some contact.

Now a days many TWH are pacey because they were bred for the show ring and to wear heavy shoes. The pace can make some of these horses more trippy and you have to help them to square up their gait and to pay attention to their feet. Teaching them to trot loose or on a lunge line can make a huge difference, not only in their gait but to help them be less trippy.

There are also some that are trotty and those you have to ride different as well to keep them in gait, usually with a higher head set and not too much relaxation or they will fall into the trot.

Knowing which kind you have can help you get their gait.
