Merry Legs

Merry Legs (1911–1932) was a Tennessee Walking Horse mare who was given foundation registration for her influence as a broodmare.

[2] She was a large mare at maturity, standing 15.2 hands (62 inches, 157 cm) high and weighing 1,200 pounds (540 kg).

[3] Merry Legs was a successful show horse; as a three-year-old, she won the stake class at the Tennessee State Fair.

[4] For her influence on the breed, she was given the foundation number F-4 when the TWHBEA was formed in 1935.
