Welcome to Trail Horses of THE WEST
Thank you for viewing this website. Our operation and
approach to
selling trail and pleasure horses is unique. At
Trail Horses of THE WEST, we only offer for sale the
gaited breeds:
Tennessee Walkers,
Missouri Fox Trotters,
Spotted Saddle Horses and
Rocky and
Kentucky Mountain Horses. THOW offers the largest
selection of mature gaited mountain trail horses in the
country. It is nearly impossible to list on our “For
Sale” page every horse we have for sale, so please
inquire if you don’t see exactly what you are looking
for.
Our clients are individuals wanting a horse they can
simply get on, ride, and enjoy! We operate right in the
mountains of northern New Mexico. We don't have to load
and trailer our horses to trails; we ride right out of
the ranch into thousands of miles of
mountain trails! These beautiful mountains are our
training grounds. Nature provides steep inclines, rocks,
logs and streams. Frequently our horses encounter
wildlife like elk, deer, black bears, wild turkeys and
coyotes. Dogs are always with our horses and accompany
us on every trail ride.
To truly understand our business, I would highly
encourage you to read all parts of this website.
The “History
and Breeds” section will tell you a great
deal about me, the owner, and why only the
gaited breeds are offered for sale to trail and
pleasure horse riders.
The “Testimonial
Letter” section should give you a good idea
as to how are past customers feel about the
horse or horses they have bought from Trail
Horses of The West.
You may also find a laugh in reading “Our
Stories!”
Our “Guest Cabin” is
available for customers to come, spend days if
needed to find the right horse for them.
I look
forward to meeting you personally at Twin Pond
Ranch.

Part of our Real Life Training program takes place right where a good trail
horse should be ridden, high in the mountains!

a heaven on earth that so few ever find
Though the map's in your soul and the trails in
your mind."
