New alert for Tonkawood Farm

We are now expanding our business to include ranch sorting horses. We have had an opportunity to purchase some great horses that will do ranch sorting work at the versatility ranch contests.  Please watch on our horses for sale if we deem them suitable for this work. Another fun sport is competitive trail classes that are springing up all over and they are fun.  The horse must demonstrate many things that could happen on a trail, such as water crossing, gate openings, stepping over rocks and stumps, etc. It is fun as it does not require extreme competition, but a nice weekend with friends on a horse with some prizes on the side. We will also tell you with our horses if they could do that discipline also.

We will also alert you on the description of the horse if we think this horse can compete in play day events.
