Our Horses

Most of our horses are named after native American tribes or dwelling locations.

Cherokee - Mare

Cherokee was our first horse, she is the female leader of our herd. She is a well seasoned horse and wonderful for beginners but still has enough giddy-up for an experienced rider.

Eclipse - Gelding

Breed: Unknown
Color: Ever changing.

Eclipse's name suits him well, his color changes from light brown to black depending on the time of year. Due to his long standing here at the camp, Eclipse is our alpha male. He is an easy rider and enjoys bareback rides through the pond.

Kiowa - Mare

Breed: Welsh Pony
Color: Red Chestnut with flaxen mane

Kiowa is amazing with ground work, anyone can lead her! She is very non-threatening because of her pony size, but don't be fooled - she has a lot of spunk! Kiowa is wonderful for the very experienced that will enjoy a bucking adventure! Looking for a helpful trainer.

Shawnee - Mare

Navajo is our retired jousting horse! He was once used in the Renaissance Festivals. Navajo was a wonderful donated addition to our herd, he is fearless on trail rides! He is our Houdini!!

Scout - Mare

Breed: Paint

Choctaw - Gelding

Breed: Tennessee Walking Horse

Choctaw was donated to Camp Tonkawa. He is difficult to catch but once you've gotten him he is wonderful. Because he is a Tennessee Walker, he is a gaited, smooth rider and has become a popular horse here and the camp! He has a very long tail, it touches the ground.
