Welcome to Our Training Page
Every horse at Ed's Walking Horses is raised and trained by us, right here on our Kentucky farm, and never rushed. We take a patient, light, old-time approach in the Vaquero tradition, starting in the traditional hackamore and bringing the right horses all the way to straight up in the bridle. The goal is simple: a naturally smooth Tennessee Walking Horse that's kind, honest, big hearted and true, and a joy to ride for years to come.
A Different Kind of Walking Horse Farm
Every horse on this page is one I'm training personally. A few are my own horses, and some I'm not ready to sell yet because I want to see how far their training can go. Beyond these, our crew has many other horses in training here on the farm. Each horse on this page has its own video playlist, so you can follow along from the first saddling to the finished horse, and maybe pick up a few ideas for your own horse along the way.

Way Back When
This is one of my favorite horses, my black stallion Way Back When. I call him Wayne. He has a super personality, a lot of heart and a crazy smooth gait, and he's straight up in the bridle as a spade bit horse. Boy, can he go!
Ed's Platinum Blonde
This is another one of my favorites, my palomino mare Ed's Platinum Blonde. I call her Blondie. She's like a sports car, zippy and fun to ride. Her playlist has a lot of videos, so follow along as I help her build her confidence and become a fabulous riding horse.
Ed's Hole In One
This is my palomino colt Ed's Hole In One. I call him Julio. He's a fine young horse, and he's blowing me away with how fast he's picking up his training. Follow along from his very first lessons and watch a great young Walking Horse get his start the right way.
Ed's Pretty Lady
This is my black mare Ed's Pretty Lady. She's a spirited girl with a real gas pedal, and we spend a lot of time on the creek trails we cut here on the farm. She rides in a Santa Barbara spade bit and has done plenty of work in the traditional hackamore. Follow along as we open gates, pick through rocky ground and find a nice, relaxed lope.
Ed's Sweet Tea
This is my grey stallion Ed's Sweet Tea. I call him Mr. T. He's a multiple model champion by Blue Blooded Bandit out of A Sweetheart Deal, naturally gaited with a great temperament. I started him in the hackamore and bosal, and now he's moving into a Las Cruces spade bit. Follow his journey to becoming a bridle horse.
Ed's Phantom
This is my palomino Ed's Phantom, sired by Blue Blooded Bandit. He has a good head on his shoulders and a friendly, easy way about him. I'm bringing him along from the rope halter to the hackamore and on to the spade bit, with the goal of making him a spade bit horse. Follow his progress in his playlist.
