Tennuvian Horse

Tennuvian

Origins

The Tennuvian horse comes from a cross between Tennessee Walking Horses and Peruvian Pasos. Although there is a strong chance these two breeds have been crossed before, the Tennuvian name was officially coined by Paula Bosner of Colorado.

Paule purchased one of these crosses and immediately fell in love with the animal, so much so that she sold off her quarter horses and bought a Peruvian stallion for breeding. The registry was founded in 1991 & it accepts a variety of Walker/ Paso crosses.
