Those of...

...you who read this, know I walk a lot,
but the Tennessee Walker, does it like a trot;
the gait is really simple, just different than most,
for this horse derived from pacers, has it as a host.

Known for that distinctive walk, and beauty counts too,
just made for you to saddle, and take a jump or two,
the horse thrives on a trail ride, or in the show ring too;
aren't you already sure, this is the horse for you.

Originally bred for the plantations, in the U. S. South,
word was passed nationwide, I mean word of mouth;
folks began to notice this horse and the way it moved,
in present day language we'd say the way it grooved.

Tennessee Walker's come in all colors, take your pick,
and they are a fashion plate, without a walking stick;
it's a natural for riding, use a saddle that you like,
English or Western, this animal won't strike.

Are we to take a lesson, from this horse from Tennessee?
What does this horse do, that's good for you and me?
Can we take directions, or do we rebel?
Because we all know sometimes good intentions, don't turn out so well.

Enjoy your day!
