| Teak
One of my
greatest teachers!
Still going strong at age 30...
...thanks to careful training and good
conformation!
Teak was born in 1977 and was purchased as
a yearling colt by Tonja’s grandfather. Teak sired a number of
offspring, some of whom are still performing in their 20’s.
Tonja started Teak under saddle when he was five. They did a lot
of trail riding together and participated in trail classes,
western pleasure, hunter under saddle and dressage. Teak is also
a lesson horse, helping riders improve their horses’ mental and
physical well-being, responsiveness to the aids and purity of
gaits.

has had performing happily and sound in their 20’s.
