"We
must train the natural ability of the horse. Never forget that it
is the brilliance of the horse, and the individuality of his own
nature and personality that will make the horse
spectacular......Not mechanically correct figures. Never change
the nature of the horse,....rather try to enhance it. The
properly trained horse should become more sound, more healthy
and more beautiful,
If not the training is wrong"
Dr. Reiner Klimke |

Founded
in 1982, the PPWHA promotes the breeding, exhibition, protection
and shared appreciation of the naturally gaited, flat shod
Tennessee Walking horse.
The Pennsylvania Pleasure Walking Horse association wishes to
welcome you to our organization and our new website. The
PPWHA takes pride in their horses and now , more than ever,
several hundred, if not thousands of horse enthusiasts, as well
as spectators, have become increasingly aware of the unique and
natural talents this breed of horse has to offer.
