Tennessee Walker horses have unusually long and flat hooves. They are not fitted with horseshoes and are not trimmed. This favours their typical gaits, flat walk (accelerated pace), running walk (running pace) and canter (soft gallop).

Fun Fact

The Tennessee Walker is a master of the walk. It resembles the tölt of the Icelandic horse.
