Explore the disciplines
Every horse has a job it loves. Here's what the horses of Horse Commons actually do — what each sport is, who lives it, and where to watch it happen.
Tennessee Walking Horses
The Tennessee Walking Horse is famous for its smooth four-beat running walk — a gait so comfortable it's been called the Cadillac of trail horses. Equitation, versatility, and flat-shod show classes anchor a season that peaks at the Celebration in Shelbyville.

Hunter/Jumper
Hunters are judged on style and rhythm over a course of fences; jumpers race the clock. The Kentucky Horse Park's summer circuit is one of the deepest in the country, and the local KHJA shows are where many riders log their first courses.
