TWH people lots of questions

[Horsemom2]

I am trying to find a TWH breeding barn or training barn between milwaukee and green bay. I live in the middle! I am trying to find someone who would be willing to spend some time helping me learn the finer points of TWHs. I plan to buy a gaited horse when I can no longer ride my mare and TWHs are on the list of horses to learn about. I tried searching on the net but I didnt find a listing. Sooooo if anyone is willing to share some information I would be greatly interested!!

Thanks,

Hi There
Have you contacted anyone in the Wisconsin Walking Horse Association?
I would think someone there could give you a direction of someone.
http://www.wisconsinwalkinghorse.org
There is also the http://www.mnwha.comMinnesota Walking Horse Association, we have many members from Wisconsin, perhaps I could check if there is anyone in that area as well and let you know.
I am often a bit slow at getting back to people- busy all the time so it may be a few days before I can let you know.

Also, if you have any questions, if I know the answer, I would be more then willing to share info w/ you. You can pm me if you want. I have three TWH.
When I was learning/ checking them out, for about a year prior to buying, I went to many shows to watch their gaits. I found a mentor online who was also in Mn and met w/her & she taught me alot about confirmation etc.

I then bought my mare and joined MWHA where I learned more. So, I think in the end, I was pretty well informed just by trying to immerse myself into the breed.
I love my Walkers! And also thought I'd mention-even though I primarily ride trails w/ my walkers w/ an occasional show, the associations offer something for every walker owner whether they show or not- I know alot of people think they s hould not join because they don't show..
