COIN COUNTRY IS A TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE BREEDING FACILITY THAT IS COMMITTED TO THE PRODUCTION OF TOP QUALITY HORSES. IT IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY LYNN KILLINGER AND PHYLLIS SCHMITZ. WE ARE LOCATED IN THE BEAUTIFUL MID-WILLAMETTE VALLEY OF WESTERN OREGON JUST MINUTES FROM INTERSTATE 5.

OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE FINE TENNESSEE WALKING HORSES WITH SUCH NATURAL TALENT AND GREAT DISPOSITION THAT THEY WILL BE WILLING AND ABLE TO DO WHATEVER A NEW OWNER MIGHT CHOOSE. FROM BIRTH, THE FOALS RECEIVE THE BEST OF CARE AND ARE HANDLED APPROPRIATELY. THEY ARE HANDLED WITH GENTLE FIRMNESS AS WE STRIVE TO AVOID THE DEVELOPMENT OF BAD HABITS, AND CONCENTRATE ON THEIR POSITIVE NATURAL ABILITIES.

OUR TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE MARES POSSESS TOP OF THE LINE PEDIGREES, AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY SHOWN IN THEIR OWN RITE. CROSSING THESE MARES WITH OUR STALLION, FLAME, PRODUCES BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED OFFSPRING WITH THE DESIRED KIND AND WILLING WAYS. FLAME HAS THE ABILITY TO IMPROVE THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AND DISPOSITION OF EACH OF THE MARES' OFFSPRING.

BECAUSE OF OUR OWN PAST EXPERIENCES IN PURCHASING OLDER HORSES THAT HAD PERSONALITY DISORDERS DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE TREATMENT IN THEIR PAST, COIN COUNTRY STRIVES TO RAISE YOUNGSTERS FREE FROM BAD HABITS AND DISTRUST OF HUMANS, SO THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE GOOD NATURED, TRUSTWORTHY AND DEPENDABLE HORSES TO ENJOY.

LYNN IS AN EXCELLENT HORSEWOMAN WHO GREW UP RIDING. SHE COMES FROM A BACKGROUND IN QUARTER HORSES, ALTHOUGH OVER TIME SHE HAS COME TO APPRECIATE THE WONDERFUL GAITS AND QUALITIES OF THE TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE, SHE IS WELL EQUIPPED TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE WITH THOSE THAT MAY BE NEW TO THE BREED.

PHYLLIS HAS BEEN A HORSE LOVER FOREVER. ALTHOUGH SHE DID NOT GROW UP WITH A HORSE, SHE ALWAYS LOVED THEM FROM AFAR. AFTER ACQUIRING HER FIRST HORSE ABOUT FORTY YEARS AGO, AND HER FIRST WALKING HORSE ABOUT THIRTY YEARS AGO, THE LOVE TURNED TO PASSION.

OUR GREATEST DELIGHT IS WHEN THE RIGHT HUMAN FINDS THE RIGHT TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE, AND THE HORSE IS LOVED FOREVER. IT IS OUR DESIRE THAT THE HORSES CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE SAME KIND OF LOVING TREATMENT AND CARE THEY ARE ACCUSTOMED TO RECEIVING. WE MAKE AN EFFORT TO CONTINUE CONTACT WITH NEW OWNERS, AND THERE ARE WONDERFUL SUCCESS STORIES.

IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA, WE WELCOME YOU TO STOP BY AND MEET OUR TENNESSEE WALKING HORSES. WHETHER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SHOW HORSE, A TRAIL HORSE, OR A BACK YARD PET, YOU COULD FIND IT HERE.
