1. Todays tennessee walking horse was bred to carry the farm owner around the property on friday, go for a trail ride on saturday, and haul the family to church in the wagon on sunday.
Janice, I actually bought into this one. After all, I had read it every time I read about TWH's for 60 years or so. So I bought one. It didn't take me long to figure out why the seller politely held him while I mounted. I still believe the myth. Surely there are some nice TWH ranch horses out there, but Hunter, at the time I bought him, would have propelled me to church a while lot faster than I wanted to travel and might have had the elders praying in the parking lot when I arrived.
