The McCurdy Walker is a distinct breed, related to the Tennessee Walker, derived from the horses bred for many years on the McCurdy Plantation in Alabama. The founding horses were registered as Tennessee Walkers, and many Tennessee Walkers carry their bloodlines. However, a registry just for McCurdy bloodlines was eventually created, preserving this unique, easy-gaited, all-purpose horse. Although predominantly found in their location of origin, they are gaining popularity in other parts of the USA. People find them ideal mounts for trail riding, hunting, ranch work, and family or children's horses. They are commonly gray (not so common in the Tennessee Walker) and roan (common in the Tennessee Walker, too), 14.2-15 hands high, and compactly built. The official site includes video clips and photos, including the one shown here.
