Bitterbrush Walkers - Tennessee Walking Horses

Bitterbrush Walkers is located in the Columbia Basin area of Eastern Washington. It's an incredible place to live and have horses. We are surrounded by irrigated farms, rocky canyons, lakes and sagebrush covered hills. Our winters are usually mild with little snow allowing us to ride year round. There are plenty of places to ride that allow us to enjoy wildlife and wide open views.

We raise and train Tennessee Walking horses for pleasure riding and trail use. Our horses are bred for natural gait and pleasing dispositions. We usually have a few foals born every year, as well as older horses trained by us, available for sale. Our emphasis has gradually changed from breeding and selling weanlings and yearlings, to having more well-trained, physically and mentally mature horses available.

One of our primary goals is to raise naturally gaited Tennessee Walkers, and to train them in a manner that we have come to believe is very important in developing calm confident horses. Our idea of raising and training young horses starts with waiting until the youngsters are in our opinion, mature enough both physically and mentally to be ridden.

We also believe that understanding our horses is very important, because just like people, all horses are not alike and they can't be handled and trained in the same way. While each horse is waiting to "come of age" to be ridden, we evaluate where each is individually and work with them accordingly.

Lessons are also available whether it's beginner lessons or working on a problem you may be experiencing with your horse. Your horse may be gaited or non-gaited and lessons can be given at your place or ours.
