Tennuvian Horse

Country Of Origin United States of America
History and Background 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 and it accepts a variety of Walker/ Paso crosses.
