In the late 1980's, a group of well established Tennessee Walker breeders took a stand against the 'big lick way' of showing. They decided to break away from their upper class horse society and create a new breed that would have the high natural gate to rival the big lick, without the harsh training techniques. They first culled their herds, only using the greatest dams and sires to create the foundation for their new breed. They began by cross breeding to the Andalusian and Lipizzan for their large size, grace, and fluid movement, before breeding into quarter horses for their determination and western performance. Appaloosas and Paints were also added for coloration and to boost all-around dicipline skills. The resulting horses were bred to Saddlebreds, Fox Trotters, and then in to Tennessee Walkers again to keep the gaitedness and to increase the breed's height.
The breed was begining to be accepted by the public until people realized the horses didn't have as much of an athletic ability as the creators first promised. People began crossing the new Walkers with Thoroughbreds and Arabians to make up for this set back. After a few years, it was decided that the addition of the Thoroughbred and Arabian gave a positive outcome and bettered the breed, giving them a more athletic apperance and better endurance than before. At the end of developing the breed, the Tennessee Walker was added on yet again to remind us all where the breed first started.

facts on the Ra mythology:
-Where Ra got his name from is not clear. It is believed that Ra may mean sun or creator.
-Ra is first mentioned in ancient Egypt's Second Dynasty.
-During the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt the worship of Ra was very important as is evident by the numerous depictions of him on tombs from this period.
-Great temples were built in honor of Ra. Many of these structures were built with no roof in order to let the sunlight in. These solar temples often did not have a statue of Ra because he was symbolized by the sunlight shining into the temple.
-At some point Ra was also merged with the ancient god Atum.
-Ra was combined with the god Horus to form the god Re-Horakhty.

Ancient Egyptian worship was a devotion to many deities, but of primary importance was Ra. He stood alone as the first cause, the eternal being, without beginning or end. Ra was accredited with bringing the world into existence, separating light from darkness and building the very heavens themselves.

His children were his first creation, and they were to become the pantheon of gods and goddesses of smaller miracles- harvest, and fertility, and warfare. They would guide all of man's mundane happenings but it was Ra himself whose effort maintained everything in creation.

The method by which worship was completed could be compared to modern-day Catholicism: local divine beings were accorded certain powers and ability to intervene in the affairs of mortals, however the supreme being who had created those powerful icons was not lost sight of, and would be accorded prayers and offerings as well as being maintained as the primary source of divine power.
