Origins
Also called the Country Saddle Horse, the Mountain Pleasure Horse is a gaited breed that has been breed in Kentucky for over 160 years and was the foundation for the Tennessee Walking, American Saddlebred & Rocky Mountain horse breeds. Despite it’s contributions to other breeds, enthusiasts have continued the bloodlines of this old-time horse selecting for gait & disposition. This is an old school breeding society that does not encourage breeding for show.
