Back in the 70's when I was in school, there was a different Tennessee walking horse that circled the field before each game. If I remember correctly, this tradition was stopped because there were several instances of the horses almost slipping on the field due to rain or traction. Since the horses are so very expensive, it was not thought to be worth the risk. So now it is done only at homecoming and when the weather is good.
This can't be correct.....NO walking horse owner even cares about the horse....ALL they care about is making them walk "pretty" by any means possible....damn the horse!
I own horses by the way, most TN Walkers are ownes and riden for pleasure because of their smooth NATURAL gait.That is the only horse my wife will own. But, sorry for my ignorance on the subject there IP.
