Shadow Ridge Stables -
Quality Tennessee Walking Horses For Sale
(large selection of colors, ages, sizes)
WE ARE A SMALL QUIET FAMILY RUN STABLE LOCATED IN NORTHEAST TENNESSEE IN CAMPBELL COUNTY. WE ARE TUCKED IN THE MOUNTAINS, THIS AREA PROVIDES UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAIL RIDING, AND IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, BIG SOUTH FORK PARK IS LOCATED CLOSE BY. IF TRAIL RIDING IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, WE ALSO HAVE A LARGE OUTDOOR ARENA THAT IS EXCELLENT FOR PRACTICE, OR TRAINING YOUR HORSE.
HERE AT THE STABLE, WE PRIMARILY RAISE, BREED AND SELL TENNESSEE WALKING HORSES, BUT ON OCCASION WILL HAVE OTHER BREEDS IF A GOOD HORSE DOES COME OUR WAY. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY HORSES TO GOOD OWNERS AT A FAIR PRICE.
MOST OF OUR HORSES ARE REGISTERED, AND HAVE WORLD GRAND CHAMPION BLOODLINES. OUR HORSES ARE OF QUALITY, WE TRY TO KEEP HORSES THAT NOT ONLY CAN BE USED FOR THE TRAILS BUT ALSO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE SHOW RING AS WELL. WE WON'T HAVE A MEAN HORSE, WE DO NOT TOLERATE HORSES THAT WILL KICK AND/OR BITE, OUR HORSES MUST BE PEOPLE FRIENDLY.
WE ARE NOT JUST TRYING TO RID OUR FIELDS OF SCRAP HORSES, WHICH IS WHAT YOU TYPICALLY FIND ON CRAIGSLIST OR OTHER SITES. OUR HORSES ARE FAT AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WE TRY TO GET TO KNOW OUR HORSES PERSONALLY, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT RIDE-ABILITY, JUST AS YOU WOULD GET TO KNOW YOUR OWN PETS. AND WE ALSO WILL TRY TO RECOMMEND THE APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCE OF THE RIDER FOR OUR HORSES,. BRIEFLY SCREEN YOU AND YOUR ABILITIES AS A RIDER IN ORDER TO MAKE A PROPER FIT . IF YOU BUY A HORSE YOU CAN'T RIDE, THEN YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO COME BACK AND BUY ANOTHER. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYING FROM A BARN VS AN INDIVIDUAL - INDIVIDUALS ARE USUALLY ONLY TRYING TO SELL YOU ONE HORSE, WE WANT YOU TO COME BACK, AND BRING FRIENDS.
SOME SELLERS WILL TRY TO SELL HORSES THAT WILL TRY TO HURT YOU, AREN'T BROKE, OR ARE SICK. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE OTHER HORSE FARMS, THEY ARE BASICALLY PUPPY MILLS FOR HORSES. CRAMPED IN ROUND PINS, CONSTANTLY IN THE MUD, FIGHTING FOR THEIR FOOD. AND THEN WHEN YOU RIDE THEM, THEY'LL START CROW HOPPING AND REARING AFTER BEING RODE A FEW MINUTES, OR NOT STEERING, OR ALREADY SADDLED AND SWEATY WHEN YOU SHOW UP TO SEE THEM. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BUY FROM THEM, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU COME EARLY AND WATCH WHILE THEY TRY TO SADDLE AND RIDE THEM.
WE HAVE ABOUT 60 HORSES AND ALL ARE WELL CARED FOR IN LARGE FIELDS, WE HAVE AROUND 200 ACRES TOTAL. WE CONSIDER THEM OUR PETS. AND WANT THEM TO GO TO GOOD HOMES WHERE THEY WILL BE TREATED WELL.
WE HAVE A SMALL FAMILY RUN BUSINESS OF SELLING, BREEDING, AND RAISING HORSES (2NDARY TO OUR OTHER FULL TIME JOBS). WE HAVE SEVERAL RETURN CUSTOMERS, AND HAVE SOLD HORSES TO CUSTOMERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. WE TRY TO POST FEEDBACK FROM OUR BUYERS ON OUR "BUYER TESTIMONIALS AND SOLD" PAGE
OUR HORSES AREN'T CHEAP, BUT WE OFFER THEM AT A FAIR PRICE.
IT IS EXPENSIVE TO KEEP HORSES, RAISE THEM, BREAK THEM, ETC. TENNESSEE WALKERS AREN'T CHEAP ANYWHERE - UNLESS THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE FOR SALE. YOU MAY GET LUCKY AND FIND A GOOD ONE, BUT IT IS A RARITY.
SO, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A WALKING HORSE, AND YOU ARE AND/OR WILL BE A GOOD OWNER, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LOOK AT THE HORSES ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU CAN CALL ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. I MAY HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK IF THERE IS SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW OFF-HAND, BLOODLINES CAN BE FUZZY WITH AS MANY HORSES AS WHAT WE HAVE, BUT MOST OF THE INFORMATION IS POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE. NOT ALL OUR HORSES ARE LISTED, YOU MAY COME TO SEE ONE HORSE AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE YOU LIKE BETTER (THAT HAPPENS ALOT).
