Black Tennessee Walker

I am very appreciative of the trainer for allowing me the opportunity to own such a nice horse as Ozark, and for her honesty and guidance during my search for the right partner. As a disabled rider, my priority was finding a horse that would ensure my safety—one that is calm, dependable, stands quietly for mounting, moves hips to mounting block and is kind and respectful on the ground. Ozark has met all of those expectations and has been exactly what I was hoping to find. Unfortunately, due to my disability and physical limitations, I have realized I am unable to ride as I had planned. This is a difficult decision, and through no fault of Ozark or his trainer, I am offering him for sale. Ozark is a well-trained, kind, and reliable horse and will make a wonderful partner for someone seeking a safe and dependable mount. If you’ve been dreaming of that once-in-a-lifetime trail partner who is as reliable as he is beautiful, let me introduce you to Ozark. This gorgeous, jet-black Tennessee Walking Horse gelding is 10 years old and stands 15 hands—big enough to carry you all day, yet the perfect height for easy mounting and dismounting – especially as he kindly moves his hips to you for mounting ease. His coat is pure black without a single white hair or marking, and when the sun hits him, he shines like polished onyx. Ozark is naturally gaited with a headshaking, ground-covering flat walk you’ll never want to get off of. He rides on a loose rein and is responsive to your cues—whether you want a slow, relaxing stroll or a faster, confident step-out. And when you want to change things up, Ozark also lopes easily and comfortably, giving you another gear that makes him incredibly versatile on the trail or ranch. Trail Horse Extraordinaire Ozark has been ridden extensively on the rugged trails of the Ozark Mountains, and he has proven himself time and again as a surefooted, steady, and willing partner. He crosses rivers, creeks, bridges, logs, rocks, hills, and mountains without hesitation. You can point him at just about anything, and he’ll take care of you safely and sensibly. Whether you’re navigating steep terrain, open pastures, or dense woods, Ozark is the kind of horse that inspires confidence in every rider. Safe, Smart, and Well-Mannered Ozark is truly a gentleman under saddle and on the ground. He: • Moves his hip over willingly for mounting • Will step up politely to logs, rocks, benches, or fences for mounting • Stands quietly for grooming, saddling, bathing, fly spray, and the farrier • Ties calmly at the trailer, in cross ties, or ground ties without fuss • Loads, hauls, and unloads with ease Desensitized & Ranch Ready This gelding has been thoughtfully desensitized to just about everything you could throw his way. He’s steady around hikers, backpackers, bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, and farm equipment. He doesn’t blink at dogs, cattle, other livestock, or wildlife. Whether you’re trail riding, working cattle, or just enjoying time around the ranch, Ozark is calm, dependable, and ready for the job. The Complete Package Horses like Ozark don’t come along every day. He has the beauty, the brains, the training, and the experience to make someone’s dream horse. He’s the kind you can proudly ride anywhere and know you’ll come back smiling. If you’re looking for a safe, solid, and stunning black Tennessee Walking Horse to be your next partner for years to come, come meet Ozark—you’ll fall in love.
