Tennessee Modular Barns and the Tennessee Walking Horse

Tennessee is known for many things, not the least
among them the magnificent Tennessee Walking
Horse. Bred to be ridden by plantation owners
over the varied terrain of their estates, this
stunning animal is the perfect storm of
temperament, gait, and stamina, and while their
boarding needs are not substantially different
from those of other horse breeds, they require
(along with the other equines in your care)
proper living quarters to provide maximum
benefit and enjoyment for all concerned. The
University of Tennessee Extension even prepared
a detailed set of plans for barns that focus on
the dual issues of weather and usage, and
because modular barns are designed to address
most of these issues, they may provide the
perfect solution when considering things like
weather, drainage, and location for your own
barns and outbuildings. An added benefit of
modular barns is that they are easy to customize
according to whether you are running a
professional operation, or you keep horses,
mules or other equines for recreational
enjoyment.

Modular barns may have number of other
advantages over more traditional buildings when
it comes to providing for the needs of your
horses as well, particularly given the vast and
often abrupt shifts in the geography of the
state. Modular barns are easy to move, making
them more versatile over the long haul than
stick built buildings, plus you can add specific
features to your barns as your needs or the scope
of your operation changes. Whether you live in
Central Tennessee where the land is flat, or in
the Appalachian Mountain range, modular
buildings adapt easily to your location and your
choice of horses. Plus the extreme shifts in
weather need to be factored in as well. From
stifling humidity to 12 inches of snow, being
prepared with the proper buildings to house your
animals year round is vital to the health and
well being of your animals (not to mention your
pocketbook). One other advantage of modular
buildings is that they can be built to order and
delivered to your property and all are designed
to meet the building codes of the state.

Of course, not every horse owner in Tennessee
owns a Tennessee Walking Horse, but since it is
the official state horse of Tennessee, it is
worth noting that the town of Shelbyville hosts
a National Celebration of this uniquely
identifiable horse every year. Drawing over
30,000 breeders, exhibitors, and spectators from
across the country, the Celebration also includes
a barn decorating contest (which isn't surprising
given how important barns are to owning horses of
any kind), plus it also showcases the unique
physiology and the exceptional gait of the
Walking Horse. These horses can quickly
outdistance most other horses without expending
much energy thanks to their "rocking chair
canter" (which is actually a collected gallop).
Other fun facts about the Tennessee Walking
Horse; it was one of the breeds used as the Lone
Ranger's horse, Silver, as the successor to the
original Trigger, and as the mascot of the
University of Southern California's Trojans
football team.

So whether you have a Tennessee Walking Horse,
or a Shetland pony, taking care of your horses
is vital to celebrating the advantages of your
own horse ownership, and what better place to
start than with the proper boarding facilities
and a modular barn built to order and delivered
to your property where you can host your own
"barn decorating contest" one day?
