What Our Customers Are Saying About Us....

Hi Nell and Timmermann Clan,

We are doing well with Tucker. He is quite the horse. We are riding him both English and Western. At Western he is the slow,mellow fellow, but we found with the help of our instructor that he can be quite the collected, animated, bend at the pole, English horse. Our instructor wants to work with Rachel, my daughter, to show in Dressage. He has had some of this type of training it seems. He is full of surprises. We really love him. He loves being around people and is about as an affectionate horse that I have seen.

Can you please refresh my memory as to which type of Kimberwick he used (solid/snaffle mouthpiece).

We have a friend who lost her horse earlier this week and hopes to find a smaller QH type. I noticed Cannoli on your site. He reminds me of Tucker. Did they come from the same broker? She is a long time horse owner, but a more cautious rider like me.

Here are some pics of Tucker.

We would like to come up to see you before the holiday. I need another pair of those great Roper boots and have a birthday coming up.

Enjoy the holidays.

Hi,

I was browsing your web page, just always curious about the horses for sale, and just wanted to let you know the two horses we bought from you, Reed's Sprat Brat, and Paint by Nimble, are doing just great. We have always been happy with them. They are living the life in Danville, KY, just a little southwest of Lexington. Paint by Nimble, now called Comanchee, went to a reining trainer for a brush up this past spring, who was very impressed with him. As a matter of fact, he asked if we were interested in selling him. He also said everyone who came in the barn reallly liked him. Of course, my husband would never sell him! He really loves that horse. Mary, our daughter who we bought the bay quarter horse for, doesn't ride as much as she should, so I have taken to riding him on trail rides. He is a wonderful trail horse and him and Comanchee really step out together. They act like they are really going somehwere! We now call him Syrus. I think you called him Brat. I now work part time in a local hospital, and one of the nurses there rode years ago, and I am recruiting her to go on trail rides with me on him, and I can ride another horse. She hasn't been horseback for years, but I told her he used to teach kids lessons, which made her immediately feel more comfortable. She's going to come over and practice first.

I just wanted to let you know how the boys were doing. Hope your holidays will be happy and everyone is doing well.

Dear Carol, Dale, and Kristin,

We all want to thank you for all your kindnesses and help during our search for our perfect horse! Bringing him to us was such a welcome relief! I know it was a very long drive for you, and we hope you know just how much we appreciated it. Taylor has decided to call him Remington – or Remi. He seems to be acclimating to his new barn very nicely. They walked all around the barn, went into the arena and walked around, then back to his new stall. Then he visited the middle barn and said hello to a few of the horses there. He seems pretty happy. He has been chatting with the rest of the herd quite loudly. Tomorrow she’ll have a lesson with him.

Thank you so much. We are so very happy with our new family member.

All our best,
Yvette, John, Taylor and Remi

Hello Nell,

Oh my Goodness !!!!! I love these horses. You did them up so beautiful for me. Thanks. They are just perfect. You guys.....I just don't know what to say? A "mental" hug to you. Everything was so well arranged and documented. Just wanted to thank you again for ALWAYS advising me the right way. I am so very hooked on the quality horses that you sell. I truly thank you for describing them "just as they are" and - when they arrive, they are even better. Never disappointed. You are the place where one can buy without actually seeing the horse "in person". I am so happy, feel like a queen (going to wear my tiara to bed tonight and climb on my white steed in the morning...). Saddle totally perfect. I am excited about Rosie and I know that won't be my last one. You are very special, I thank you for bringing so much joy in our lives. Just wanted you to see how great Tommy and Jupiter look:

Very sincerely,

Hello,

I want to thank everyone there at the barn, they have been so kind and nice. We are so excited to have Swinger join our family! Well, I guess that is all, as if it wasn't enough :) Thank you all again, I am so very impressed with the ranch and the people who work there!

Take care.

Hello folks,

Just had to share these pictures of Bethany in her first horse show, a 4-H sponsored event. This was a learning experience for all of us. Bethany is riding Sydney, a horse from Timmermanns Ranch, and she was a really good girl. Anyway enjoy! And thanks for letting me brag!

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know how much I love Miss Willow. I've purposely waited a month before sending this note, honestly I couldn't believe she is as consistent & sweet as you said - but she is. She is so patient in both my & Maddie's lessons and tries very hard to please. I also can't believe she is such an easy keeper. I wish you guys could clone her, I'd buy two more! Thanks for your help and by the way, Willow is WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL.... she has become my best buddy. So loveable and willing to try anything I ask, I couldn't have asked for a better partner. Thank you Oh and yes, Mr. Chi Boy is great too - he's settled down quite nicely and what a personality on that boy! He's such a clown.

Good Morning,

I just wanted to give you an update on Scout's progress. I had moved him in March to a barn down in Beecher which had a large riding arena. The ability to ride 4 times per week made a huge difference in our partnership. I moved him back home on May 1 and the transition from the indoor arena to the trails was seamless. He is developing into a very solid trail horse, although he still does not like deer. I am riding him in a rope halter with reins attached, in other words without a bit. He is very responsive to my legs and requires very little rein. I realize I picked him from your quality inventory, but I also understand and appreciate that you selected him first. The selection of horses was excellent, the environment was warm and friendly, the advice given (in person, by phone, or e-mail) sound and truthful, and I greatly appreciated everyone’s patience. It was a great experience and I am thrilled with my new trail partner. Thanks again and good luck in your 08 show season.

Happy Trails!

Hi there

Just wanted to pay my compliments. We have seen you at the last 2 MSPB&O shows and have admired your horses, and (because my teenage son is the one who rides) your trucks & trailers! LOL I just checked out your website - very impressive. Should we ever be looking for another horse, we will see what you have to offer. We're in Michigan, otherwise I'd send my son for a few lessons. If you are everything your website says you are (and I'm sure it's all true), you are a great outfit which is the dream-come-true of many a horse family. Very, very impressive. Congratulations!!!

Hi,

About a year ago we bought two horses from you. A bay gelding for our daughter and a flashy paint reining gelding for my husband. Both horses have worked out well. They have been everything you said they were.
Thanks

Hello,
MYSTIC IS FINE. HE IS OUT IN THE PASTURE WITH 2 OTHER GELDINGS. HE IS SLOWLY LOSING HIS FACINATION WITH RUN IN SHEDS, HE STILL LIKES THEM ALOT. I RIDE HIM A FEW TIMES A WEEK, AND HE'S BEEN A GOOD BOY. HE RIDES OUT WITH HIS 2 PASTURE MATES, WHOM HE GETS ALONG WELL WITH. HE LOVES PEPERMINTS. HE SEEMS WELL CONTENT AND HAPPY.

Hello!

I bought my horse from you (a paint you called "Hondo" - Reg. name Totally Controversary) two and a half years ago and I would like to bring my friend and her daughter up to look at your paints for sale (she is currently taking lessons and is interested in purchasing a show horse).

Ps. I now own 4 show horses and Totally Controversary is STILL the love of my life!!!! I show him in halter classes (he even got a Reserve Champion), trail ride with him, he does it all! I will never forget your ranch for introducing me to him and creating our special partnership.

Greetings!

My wife and I bought a horse (Fancy) from your ranch in May of this year. I just wanted to thank you again for helping us find such a wonderful horse. Fancy is very happy in her new home with 2.5 acres of fenced pasture, over a mile of trails to ride and three sheep and a Labrador for companionship. We work with her daily and ride 3-5 times a week. Faye and I are completely satisfied and Fancy has proven to be the perfect horse for us. We are happy to give her a wonderful home for the rest of her life.

Hello Timmermann's!

Oree and I went to the Rocking Horse show on Sunday. We were entered in 4 classes and came home with 3 ribbons! Oree was awesome, I was in shock. She was 5th and 6th in her halter classes of 12 and 16. Then we placed 6th in a western pleasure class of 11! And no the other horses didn't buck through the entire class or kick the judge. :) She just clopped along like we knew what we were doing. So, of course, I have to send you her picture.

Hi Nell, Dale and Carol,

Toby is doing great! We're a great match.

A friend of mine showed him today and he placed first in Hunter under Saddle and Western pleasure. Both classes had 8 horses in them. He also placed second in a walk/trot. I was so proud. So his talents are not going to waste.

As you know I got him for trails and he's doing good, getting over his fears of the unknown. I always take him out alone and have not yet gone out with another horse. I'm thinking he'll like that even better.

I've attached a picture of us, it was taken a few months ago.

Take care,

Hello,

I can't sleep so I thought I would catch up on some email. Lacey AKA Lily is doing very well. She now stands still to be mounted from on both sides without an assistant, with out without the mounting block, and waits to walk off. She is very sweet and still a little mouthy but getting better at keeping her teeth to herself. She has been working on transitions and leg pressure. I can ride her around and just have my reins draped on the horn and she turns or whatever. We have been on lots of trail rides, our longest was at the Barrington equestrian center, she investigated all the jumps and went up and down obstacles, we even jumped a log. We are also doing Parelli seven games and she is so funny, so curious and confident. Anyway we love her, she is a keeper for sure. Kids are back in school, the world is quieter here, wahoo!

Hello Dale

Hope everything is good with you, I thought I would send you some pictures of Cruise. He is doing quite well, I have never met a more easy going guy! This horse is a dream to ride, his jog is so smooth. I couldn't be more happy with him, we have become really good buddies. BTY found a home for Scarlett, a 11 year old girl took her and is really having fun with her.

Take Care,
