I'm a lurker out in New Mexico. However, I had two friends with Tennesse
Walking Horse mares that showed them as a pair in NM and AZ in open driving
competition to a restored runabout back at the dawn of driving here. They
worked beautifully together and often won classes. Some judges did seem to
have a problem with the gaits, but most appreciated how well they worked
together.
