Tennessee Walking Horses For Sale | Quality Horses | Tennessee Walkers

Hot Days--Hot Prices!

P2130286We are deep into summer. The days are hot.  The horses are fat and sassy. In fact, our trainer has really been working on getting some saddle time in place.  Due to the high volume of rain, my other two employees are really working on renovating our pastures. With so much rain, we pretty much destroyed our pastures over the last two years.  This means that our horses have been mostly on hay.  However, this summer, with the dryer weather and the sell-down of some horses (economic recession) we have been able to get the horses on grass. This has been quite the project. I am going to leave this ---->        picture up because it reminds me of cooler days.  If you are in the market for a young horse that has all its basics in place, or if you are ready to finish a horse yourself, or if you are ready for a proven trail horse, you have come to the right place.

Due to economics, we took 2 years off from breeding to let the market catch up. I have seen a lot of backyard breeders breed their stallion to their kids' mare. The result is another horse that ends up flooding the market. As a responsible breeder, I have felt the need to limit the amount of horses that get flooded into the market.  However, never fear! We will be starting up again as soon as the economic high water clears. So, keep your eye on our site and you will be the first to know when we get the new babies.

If you are interested in some fine animals that will be placed in the right home at a very reasonable price.  I am in NO hurry to move them so if you do not have a good home, don't bother emailing or calling.  Only good homes should call. We have some really nice yearling and two year old fillies.  I also have several older horses that are for sale at very reasonable prices. If you don't see what you are looking for, you should email or give us a call.  We do have what you want!  Micki

Top Quality Handled Daily

Herd Reduction is a BOOM for you!

As part of our annual sale, we are selling at deep discounts to give everyone a chance to get a hold of a quality walking horse. 

I have a several fantastic buckskin riding mares. I have my personal riding mare, Scout, for sale to a great home. Actually, all of them will only go to a great home. She has been everywhere.   Scout has been to East Fork several times, Shawnee, Virginia, and other places. Her first ride as a young horse was down the Virginia Creeper trail. If you have ever been there you know that it is very busy with hikers and bikers. She was a pro walking across over 40 wooden bridges with bike riders wearing back packs. She was great!  I would love for someone to enjoy her. This has been all a part of her training. She has seen it all. Since we don't have babies coming this year, we have really put our employees to work on training and riding. You know, as a business owner you have to really be flexible. Although our major thrust of our business is breeding those high quality, super sane and smooth walkers, we have had to show some incredible flexibility with the market. Therefore, there will be at least two years that we do not have foals. Never fear---we will be back!  Soon!!

I do have several more. I have a buckskin mare by the name of Glitter for sale. She is a fantastic mare that came from Thunder Valley Walkers. She is never been broke but she could be easily broke. I am going to keep Traveler so I don't really want to raise anymore double dilutes so I think I am really going to downsize my buckskin herd. 

I also have several buckskin tobiano mares that are own daughters of Spotted Alen Again.  They are both broke to ride.  If you act before they are weaned, we will include the baby at this price. They are going to be weaned soon.

Please contact Terri at 765-438-5116 for any questions. If you can not get a hold of her (because of location), please try my cell at 765-438-3844  We hope to speak to you soon!

Sold EEAACrCr---SOLD

Joe Colt | Rise and Shine Walkers | Tennessee Walking Horses

SOLD------You Missed your chance :))

I have plenty to tell you this week. I have received the test results from UC Davis!  We have another Super Boy!  The gorgeous perlino colt out of Holly and by Traveler is a EEAACrCr.  He is very well mannered and a perfect colt.  We would love for him to go to a great home so that he can be utilized. The gift of his color genetics is just the icing on the cake. He is perfectly balanced and is the perfect blend of the walking horse gait and temperament. He will make an outstanding herd sire. For those who want to take the guess work out of breeding, you should consider Joe! Say it IS so, Joe.  You are the perfect breeding stallion prospect with your gait, your temperament, and your color genetics. Please look at Joe's page if you are interested in someone special!

Also, Cappie's colt, Jacob is a perlino stallion that has great genetics, a wonderful temperament (a little too curious, kind of a pest) and the best in gait and size. He is going to be a large colt with a fantastic presence.  Check out his page if you are interested in this fine boy!

Studies prove that people who supplement their diet with Omega-3 fatty acids may require less anti-inflammatory medication as well as experience less pain and more joint mobility.

 

Is it getting harder to get up on your horse? Does your body ache much more than it did 10 years ago? I think the short answer for me is a "yes". I originally started out with a non-gaited horse and with time, became a great fan of the Tennessee Walking Horse as the best horse for my mind, body and spirit. Let me explain. As a medical doctor, I have seen firsthand the impact of improper body mechanics and physical stress on the joints and muscles of our bodies!

Tennessee Walkers eBook

Learn about the history and pedigree behind these great horses in Micki Haendiges' eBook "The Tennessee Walking Horse"Tennessee Walking Horse eBook
"The Tennessee Walking Horse or Tennessee Walker is a combination of the Narragansett, Canadian Pacer, Standardbred, American Saddlebred, Morgan and Thoroughbred. The horse was originally bred for utility purposes, as both a good riding horse and farm work horse.
In the early 1800s, Tennessee breeders began breeding the Narragansett and Canadian Pacers. The wanted to create a horse that would be able to handle the rough mountainous terrain of the area. Later, the Confederate Pacer and Union Trotter blood was added to the breed during the Civil War and created the 'Southern Plantation Pacer,"' also known as the Tennessee Pacer. Later, breeders added in Thoroughbred, Morgan, Standardbred, and American Saddlebred. These breeds added stamina and refined the breed to create today's Tennessee Walking Horse."

Rise and Shine's 2009 Babies

Fantastic prices on great breeding stock, trail ride hores, and broodmares!

Summer is here and the prices are HOT!!

Most of these babies will be double agouti!  I am not testing any of them at this point.  There are some that are 100% double agouti because both of their parents are double agouti!

Now is the time to find some of the best stock in the nation for sale at very reasonable prices. In fact, there is not another farm out there that has this quality and at these prices--guaranteed.  I am updating the website frequently so please make sure that you keep on the lookout. If there is a mare that you like, or a baby, make us an offer--Quickly!!   If you have been watching the website, you will see all of the changes that have occurred.  This is fun!  You will have a fun time looking through the site.  Again, if you are interested in any of my horses, please make us an offer.

My breeding will be kicking off again soon. The horses are doing great, fat and sassy. We have spent a lot of time having the horese started and trained.  We don't have any babies this year but we do have great quality trail riding and pleasure horses that are started under saddle or either finished.  Given the state of the horse market, we took a couple of years off from breeding. The only reason for this was the fact that the horse auctions and the slaughter houses were full of great horses. I did not want to take a chance that any of my horses would end up in that situation. Therefore, I made the economic decision to let the recession pass on by so that we did not participate in stuffing the market, however super high quality that my "kids" are.  As a business owner, you have to know and test the market and adjust as needed. I have had many calls for babies this year.  Unofortunately, I have not had any to sell. However, those buyers were able to find great quality yearlings and two year olds.  Congratulations to them. My herd has shrunk almost in half only because I am trying to adapt to the market.  Never fear, all those who want Rise and Shine babies, we will be gearing up again as soon as this recession is over. I have had friends that have been career breeders who have never seen a market like this.  So, we have just held tight, fully expecting the horses to bounce back!  Every one wants some Rise and Shine babies.  Thank you to everyone who has complimented us on our stock. We have taken great pride in our quality animals. In fact, the research that has been done to acquire the finest herd has really paid off.  Thank you again to everyone.

 

We are now offereing Trail Broke and Ready mares and geldings for sale. We use the all natural approach to riding and training. Our horses are started on their own time and at their pace, thereby the horse is participating in their education. They are not "forced" or "broke"!  They Love it!  Come check us out!

This labor day weekend we had local guests as well as guest from Kansas!  We had a blast and showed our stock all weekend. I am very blessed to have such wonderful walking horses!  I am thankful everyday for my blessings. Please, come see us at Rise and Shine Walkers!  You will love spending time with our babies. They are always there to greet you and you can't help but smile!
