Gaited Trail Tennessee Walking Horse Gelding

Exceptional All-Around Gelding – Broke, Handy, and Smart ?

This outstanding gelding is the total package — dependable, responsive, and incredibly well-mannered, both under saddle and on the ground. Whether you’re looking for a trail partner, a ranch hand, or a horse to finish in the arena, he’s got the foundation, the brain, and the training to do it all.

Ground Manners & Mounting

• Side Passes to Mount: No more chasing your horse around the pen or fence — he’ll side pass right over to you on cue and “park” to let you mount from the ground, a block, or a fence rail.

• Parks Out: For taller riders or those with mobility concerns, he’ll willingly park out, lowering his back and standing square to make mounting easy.

• Stands Still to Mount & Walks Off Quietly: No rushing, fidgeting, or dancing. He’ll stand like a statue while you swing a leg over, then wait patiently until you ask him to move off.

Maneuverability & Responsiveness

• Backs Softly & Precisely: Whether it’s one step or twenty, he’ll back straight and correct, with softness in the face and light cues from your seat or hands.

• Side Passes Both Directions: Light off your leg and responsive to rein, he side passes with ease and correctness — perfect for gates, obstacles, or arena work.

• Neck Reins Like a Pro: He responds well to neck reining, making him a joy to ride one-handed on the trail or in competition.

• Gives to Leg & Heel Pressure: He yields his shoulders and hips with precision, and will maneuver around barrels and obstacles both forward and backward using just your legs and body cues.

Ground Work & Handling

• Ground Ties Reliably: Drop the reins or lead and he’ll stay put — no need to worry about tying or him walking off.

• Baths Like a Gentleman: He stands quietly for washing, even with a hose and sprayer. No fuss, no pawing.

• Trailer-Savvy: Loads and unloads with patience and ease. He’ll back out slowly and stand calmly beside the trailer, making hauling stress-free.

Desensitized & Confident

• Plastic Tarp & Raincoat Broke: Flapping tarps, rustling coats, or unexpected noise won’t phase him. He’s been exposed to it all and takes it in stride.

• Emotionally Steady & Intelligent: With a calm mind and curious nature, he’s not just broke — he’s smart. He learns new skills quickly and enjoys having a job. His ability to retain training makes him ideal for riders who want to continue developing his potential.
