Tennessee Walking Horses

Tennessee Walking Horses have been described as the gentlemen of the horse world. They tend to have a very gentle disposition and a smooth gait resulting in a very comfortable ride. Tennessee Walkers are great for trail rides and bird hunts, due to the smooth gait and comfortable ride over long distances.

Crockett Ranch does not breed Tennessee Walkers. We leave that expertise to our trusted friend, Brandon Carpenter, the proprietor of Hashknife Tennessee Walkers.  Brandon has spent his lifetime perfecting his philosophy and approach to horse training. Brandon’s training techniques are gentle and quiet.  Most horses want to please their handler, so capitalizing on that natural desire enables the training to become deeply ingrained into the mind of the horse.  The results yield a quiet, relaxed horse that is willing to work for the rider and is responsive to a light rein.  Hashknife does not follow current fad training, since their techniques were used and proven. Only the best and most effective training methods are used to create a “Hashknife Horse.”

Hashknife Tennessee Walkers is a family operated business located just north of Shepherd, Montana. The name Hashknife comes from the Hashknife brand that was given to Brandon by his grandfather, Yates Allen.  The brand symbol has been in the family nearly 100 years. Brandon has authored articles and given training advice in publications such as The Gaited Horse, Equestrian Network Magazine, The Journal of Equine Veterinary Science and others. He is also featured in the book Walking With Friends by Maggie Moore.
