Pam is home and new horses are in. Watch the web for new pictures.
Now here is a horse that we rarely are able to purchase. Bailey has been a very good reining horse and a cutting horse. Pam says he is like riding a computer. He is wonderful on the ground, very very level headed and is willing to go and do anything we have asked him to. If you are looking for a fun ride with an experienced horse we recommend him. He would be a great first horse for anyone wanting to learn reining, or for play days as he is sharp but kind in his mind. He will wait for his rider to make the choice and not anticipate anything which we love for our folks. Bailey stands just under 15 hands and is 13 years old. We are showing him with one of Pam's students riding him. "This is the best horse I have ridden". " I love him!" (sale pending)
Now here is a beauty. Ben is a gorgeous Palomino that stands a good 15 3 hands. He is a wonderful horse. He has been a ranch horse. He will rope, pull logs, trail ride, go over the bridge and all the obstacles with style and safety. If you are looking for a beauty with brains, look at him. He is nine years old. Pam has had her students ride him this week and he is a gem. He is the kind of horse that rates himself according to his rider. Very kind and great ground manners also.Benjamen LOVES children!!!

We are so proud of our new owners and the good horses they have. These safe guys are the backbone of the industry, hard to find and deserve a good home with loving families. We are happy to say that all our "guys" are well placed and that makes our job fun and much easier. Thank you all.
We are especially proud of our horses that are going out of state as the
trust and our references are giving our horses a great opportunity to serve in
other states as well as here in Texas.

Our Designer horses!
We would like to ask our prospective buyers to give us a good description and outline of the horses you are looking for. We would like to encourage you to email us, or call us telling us exactly what you are looking for in a horse. There are eight criteria we look at when we determine if we can "match" you to a horse. 1. Safety. 2. The need. What do you want to do with the horse? Trail ride, ranch ride, versatility play days etc. 3. What is your skill level? 4. Where are you keeping the horse? This allows us to determine the suitability of our horses to YOUR environment. 5. Are you going to haul your horses to ride? Obviously easy loading is a MUST. 6. What are the pasture mates? 7. Who is going to ride the horse? Children, family or single rider need is a question we ask. WHEN WE DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF PARTNER YOU NEED, THEN WE CAN SUITABILITY FIND YOU A MATCH. 8. What price range are you looking in ?
We ask you to come to Tonkawood for an evaluation ride so we can see what kind of partner you want and need that way with high gas prices you do not waste a trip for a horse and we can make a good match for you. Please note that we are not seeking to critize your riding as we get all kinds of riders, but the overriding goal is to have you enjoy the horse, the sport and the love based on your needs and skills. If you come to Tonkawood and do an evaluation ride, we will then seek a partner for you, determine the suitability for you and then send you pictures. If you live to far, then please give us as much information as you can so we can make sure we show you a candidate that suites your needs and suites the horse. If you like the horse, after an evaluation ride, we send pictures, and if the look suites you, we will then HOLD the horse for you until you can come to see it. We also ask that you check out our sold column and give us an idea of the type of "look" you like. That cuts down time, effort and money by pre qualifying a horse for you.
Our horses must meet the standard of safety we require for all of them. No horse can be perfect at all times, and circumstances can occur that render the horse unsuitable or the rider not in tune. Some horses are better suited to individual needs than others, that is why we are asking you to give us a list so we can determine if and how a horse will suite your needs.
