The Heritage Horse Criteria
• 1. Older, rare bloodlines. Heritage Horses initially had a minimum of five stallions or mares with registration numbers from the thirties and forties still on papers.• 2. Horses with modern bloodlines shown built-up after 1976 did not qualify.• 3. The signature smooth gait of the Tennessee Walking Horse has been sought
out. Heritage Horses perform a natural, evenly timed, four-beat nodding and walking gait barefoot or plain shod.• 4. Various colors and patterns are found in Heritage Horses. All color lines trace,
horse by horse, to individuals with those colors and patterns recorded in the TWHBAA Studbooks.• 5. Offspring of a pair of Heritage Horses will be accepted as Heritage Horses once
they exhibit a true, timed, four-beat walking horse gait.
