Traveled from Pennsylvania to check out the horses at Flint Creek and what a wonderful experience!
After chatting with Tom about what I was looking for, Tom & his son had 6 possibilities saddled up for me to check out. Tom rode them first, explaining the cues he used, how the horse should respond as well as the personality of the horse. Both he and his son were extremely helpful in assisting me as I rode, making it a fun learning experience.
I had a blast during the whole afternoon and came home with a wealth of new knowledge as well as a new awesome horse! Am so excited to hit the trails!
The descriptions and videos Tom puts on the web site truly
reflect the quality, personality and abilities of the horses. These are extremely well-cared for & trained horses with calm dispositions - a true testament to Tom and his son.
Their integrity and way with the horses was refreshing!
I would travel back to the ranch in a heartbeat to purchase another horse - a big "thank you" to Flint Creek Quarter Horses from myself and "Rooster"!

Testimony of purchase 2025’
It’s a pleasure to share my experience purchasing a horse at Flint Creek Ranch.
Upon arriving at the ranch I was met by Tom. A wealth of horse knowledge and a true horseman. The horses were already saddled that we had to look through. I was able to ride each horse and watch Tom ride each horse. At the same time receiving Tom’s schooling on how to ride each horse and their tendencies.
What a great experience it was. I did purchase a very nice Highbrow Cat lineage gelding.
The gelding is well mannered in all ways. Has all the buttons and is a real looker.
If you’re looking for a good quality, well bred horse, don’t miss a great experience in working with Flint Creek Ranch to find the right one.
They can make it happen for you.
Thank you Tom and Company!
Can’t wait to see you and your horses again!
Tim Howard Sr.

Shiner
Hi Tom.
I hope you and your family are doing well.
I’ve had shiner for a month and a half now and wanted to let you know I love him so much. He’s exactly what I was looking for.
We are growing our bond. He lets me walk right up to him and catch him more often than not now. Love him out on the trails. I’m so happy with him. He’s teaching me a lot. riding lessons have been very helpful in making me a better rider and keeping shiner and butter boss well mannered and sharp.
In the event I decide to buy another horse in the future, I will buy from you. And I will recommend you and your horses to my friends and family. Love the two guys I have from you.
Butter boss and Shiner are hands down my favorite horses.
Thank you again for my wonderful horses. I tell everyone about you.
Tom is wonderful. If you want a well trained, nice conformation and quality horse, this is where you should go.
I have two horses from him, and let me tell you they are amazing horses. I get compliments on them all the time, not only on how beautiful they are, but also on how well mannered they are.
Tom was even nice enough to teach me a few horsemanship techniques when I bought my horses from him. Tom is extremely honest about the horses he is selling and I really appreciate that about him. He really wants to make sure the horse is a good fit for you.
I cannot recommend Tom at Flint Creek Quarter Horses enough. I have nothing but good things to say about Tom and the two horses I have from him.
My first horse from him was so amazing that when I was ready to get another one, I bought a second horse from him who is just as fantastic.
Take the time to talk with him and he will help you find a horse that is a good fit for you. I have told all of my horse friends about Tom.
Whenever I buy a horse in the future, I will be buying from here. They are extremely nice people and easy to work with.

Hi Tom!
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to reach out and share some pictures from the past few months:) I also wanted to express my immense gratitude for selling me this amazing horse! He has exceeded all my expectations and is by far the best horse I have ever ridden and am beyond excited for what the future holds.
I also wanted to thank you so much for your support throughout the process of getting him, you and your son Riley were amazing to work with. I have been recommending you to everyone I know, and if I ever am looking for another horse, I will definitely come straight to you!
Thank you once again for everything!
Best regards,

GUmby
Today is the one year date that I brought Gumby home. I had a wonderful season last summer and fall riding him. You did a perfect job of matching us, he is the perfect horse for me and I love him. He’s all you said he was. Hope all is well with you and your family.
When I first bought him, I didn’t know whether or not I could bond with a horse that I hadn’t raised. Gumby made it clear that I could. I still look at your YouTube videos occasionally and enjoy seeing all the beautiful quarter horses you offer for sale. Mary Ellen McDonald

Hey!!’ Hope all of you are doing great! ❤️
Was obviously a pretty chilly winter with that unusual cold snap but this boy has been the most delightful gentleman every step of the way!
On the trail /his nose tucked right down to his hooves to ensure traveling down the mountain gracefully/safely on ice /snow. As we covered some steep beautiful terrain.
He’s one to love!
As I’m sure you already know very well’
Thank you for sharing this special one! ❤️
I love that this boy will stop & wait up for the last horse behind on the trail.
He will plow through some trees/logs as I’m sure you know!
13 mile ride today he was a totally amazing.
Testimonials
Turbo AKA Sixes
Hi Tom! Thought I'd let you know how happy Cal is with Sixes. (You called him Turbo)
He and Cal are fast friends already. Must be all the horse treats. 
Cal was only able to ride him 3 or 4 times before their first roping because the weather has been the pits. But Cal had a great time on Sunday roping at our neighborhood jackpot. Weather was finally nice too. Sixes front speed was just a great fit for Cal. He was perfect in every way.
I want to thank you for being honest about Sixes. (Turbo) The good and his quirks. It just took time. You know you just don't run into that type of honesty in the horse world. I told Cal I think it's cuz Tom is a horseman. That is high praise in the horse selling business I believe.
Again, thanks so much! Take care.

Ashley and Grace Apple
We had a wish. A wish to fulfill my girls' dream of riding safe, sane, smart, and fine looking horses. I set out to find the perfect ones. In today's horse world of so many variations, opinions, and inability to know who to trust, the task seemed harder than it ended up being. Things happen for a reason, we believe. In February of 2021, we purchased Streak and Mojo. My daughter fell in love with Streak and I wasn't leaving without Mojo. As of October 2022, our barn is filled with FIVE Flint Creek Boys. I could not be more thankful for meeting Tom and his family. It's been such a blessing to each of us. My girls are soaking up 4H, rodeo, and hitting the trails with their horses. The horses are constantly complimented on their behavior and mindset. They are solid horses that we trust and the girls will be able to ride and learn great skill for years on. For me to send them out on horses that will take care of them, means the world. Tom is PURE HONEST, incredibly helpful, patient with our 20,000 questions, and genuinely cares. He will tell you the pros/cons/habits true as true. His knowledge and time spent making sure the horse is a fit, is genuinely appreciated beyond measure. Legend, Charmer, Doc, Streak, and my favorite Mojo are in their forever home with us. We are biased, but believe we have the finest in the land. And, when the time comes to add to our string, I wouldn't look anywhere else. There are only Flint Creekers in our future. Tom- never retire! :-)
Hi there stranger!
Ashley here and it has been too long since we have sent you an update on the Flint Creek Boys!
They are all doing great and I am excited to share Legend and Grace’s pics at fair and rodeo week here in Johnson County. Grace is Rodeo Royalty so she and Legend have been busy! 😎
Thank you, Tom and Family. We count our blessings and hope you know how much we appreciate you.

Buddha
Buying a horse from Tom (Flint Creek) was an enjoyable experience. His horses are great, his training is apparently excellent, his honest appraisal of horses and matching the human to the horse is honest and accurate. Buddha is the best new horse ever.
Thank You,

Updates on Buddha
We've ridden Buddha 'bout every day, feel so comfortable with him. He's such a sweetheart.
Got B microchipped, vet checked. Such a good boy, never moved or got bothered when Angela stuck the 14 G needle in his neck. She likes him, I bragged you up to her, suggested that she could refer folks to you for horses. 😊
I finally got to ride B today.....he's so smooth, his trot is like butter, I'm so impressed with his lightness. I'm in love ❤️ 😍
