We specialize in safe bomb proof* horses for children and amateurs in the Central Texas Hill Country. We are located close to San Antonio, and Austin Texas.
Please be advised that there is a scam going on.
There are people claiming to be Tonkawood with horses for sale. They are posting pictures of horses using our address and asking for money to be sent for down payment. It is not us and we are receiving a lot of calls from folks. We never ask for money to hold horses. There is a new on now trying to buy horses that are listed for sale on Dreamhorse and other websites. They are claiming it is my husband askng to buy a horse as a surprise for my birthday!!!!! They then ask where to sent the payments. Looks like the scamers are trying to get bank information. Tonkawood does not buy horses privately. We only purchase horses from out partner buyer. We will never call to purchase a horse from anyone. Please please be aware!!!

The Burnet County Rodeo features a contest for young women riders. The contest was comprised of riding skills on a individual basis, speaking, presentation, horsemanship knowledge and general overall poise and horsemanship accomplishments. Pam’s riders garnered all the awards but four out of 20. Each year our riders compete in the contest and have had the Queen and 14 ribbons each year. Congratulations Pam and our riders that were all on Tonkawood horses. The ages of the contestants ranged from 6, who was Kate our youngest to 18.
