    Welcome to Evening Shade Farm. We are a small family owned/operated horse farm in Shelbyville, Tennessee; the heart of Tennessee Walking Horse country. Our main focus is the  breeding, raising and training of top quality naturally gaited trail and pleasure Tennessee Walking Horses for sale. We also offer for sale other top quality gaited trail horses that are ready to be your next trail horse, pleasure horse, and forever horse.
    Each of our broodmares has been carefully selected following four criteria; disposition, conformation, gait, and bloodlines. We purchased our first in 1991. "Delight's Miss Missie", a direct daughter of World Grand Champion "Sun's Delight D.", remains in our family still. She retired from active broodmare status in 2000, but is still very useful as she now carries delighted children for rides in Shelbyville's Great Strides Riding Program for the disabled. The Tennessee Walking Horse is versatile throughout its life.
    "Champagne Lookout" joined us in 1996. We fell in love with his beautiful color, smooth natural gait, and wonderful disposition. However, his bloodlines on top and bottom are as good as any Tennessee Walking Horse you find, including "Foundation Era" World Grand Champions  such as; "The Super Stock", "Ebony's Senator", "Ebony Masterpiece", "Mack K's Handshaker", "Midnight Sun", "Johnny Midnight", and of course the source of that beautiful color, "Champagne Lady Diane". Firmly believing that old foundation bloodlines and pedigree definitely make the difference, when we decided to breed for color, we knew that breeding true naturally gaited Tennessee Walking Horses for trail and pleasure had to be top priority. Breeding for unique colors is always fun and exciting because you never know exactly what you'll get. That is why we always breed for quality individuals so that no matter what color comes on the outside, there's a great horse on the inside.
    We are not a "Horse and Livestock Company" or "professional horse traders/brokers". Just two people with a genuine love, and some might say addiction, for horses. This all got started by deciding to buy and breed one mare and raise a baby to keep for ourselves. Somehow along the way it took on a life of it's own and now consumes most, if not all, of our "spare time". But we love it and that's why we continue to do it. We have always had our regular jobs to earn a living, so we can place our horses when the time is right for the horse first and foremost and for whoever selects them. Consequently, the number of horses available will vary and be limited to those we consider are the best that we can offer while keeping the amount of work at a level we can do ourselves since we do not entrust the care, handling and riding of our horses to others. We have some exceptional gaited trail horses for sale of all colors; smooth naturally gaited with calm disposition. Come and take a test ride, or check out their pictures and videos on our Horses for Sale page. We appreciate your taking time to look through our site and certainly hope to hear from you. Picture yourself on a smooth gaited Tennessee Walking Horse "for the trail ride of your life".

                        Every time you ride, your horse is either learning or unlearning something from you.

    All of our Tennessee Walking Horses for sale and Spotted Saddle Horses for sale are ridden alone and in groups, on country roads and trails, around cars, trucks, tractors, ATV's, eighteen wheel Tyson Chicken trucks, etc. and are exposed to as many different obstacles as possible. Our trail rides consist of uphill and downhill, creeks and water, rocky and muddy, and sometimes roadside riding, so that the gaited horses for sale will be versatile and experienced on trails. Our gaited trail horses are never ridden in "long shank bits", "gag type bits", "twisted wire bits", or any other harsh style of "Walking Horse" bit. Each of our gaited trail horses is taught to work first in a plain "snaffle bit" with no curb strap/chain for a very light touch. Only when they fully know and understand what is expected are they finished off with a very mild "Tom Thumb" style bit for that last little bit of primping. We represent any Tennessee Walking Horse for sale or Spotted Saddle Horse for sale as honestly and accurately as possible.  Potential buyers have the option, and are welcome, to come and test ride any gaited trail horse and have a pre-purchase exam before horses leave Evening Shade Farm.
    We are not professional horse traders and do not sell horses for our living. Lisa is a Registered Nurse and I work with the School System. Consequently, the selection of gaited trail horses for sale that you will find on our site will be limited to only the caliber horse that we would personally keep forever because our goal is to offer high quality gaited trail horses, not quantity. While many of the trail horses for sale are raised and started right here at Evening Shade Farm, we also search out quality gaited trail horses. These are not horse sale, trade, or consignment horses but carefully selected and purchased by us from individual owners. We look at many different aspects of each gaited trail horse we consider, and ultimately the decision comes down to one all important question; "Would I purchase this gaited trail horse for my own personal companion?". If the answer is yes, that Tennessee Walking or other gaited trail horse is the one you will see on our Horses for Sale page available for your consideration. Please feel free to contact us at any time with any questions you may have using the address, phone number, and/or e-mail link above. We really look forward to hearing from you.....

This was my Gertie, maybe the most joyful soul I've ever been blessed to know. She has
gone on ahead of me for now but it will be such pleasure to be with her again some day.
We loved each other so much and she truly appreciated every little thing, and she showed it.
