“They were 100% transparent about him and were honest about exactly who he was as a horse. I knew after taking him home they had done all the hard work for me. His foundation was amazing and his mind is great. Our first summer together that horse packed me all over the high country hundreds of miles. Because of where these colts are raised and the foundation given to them, they are in my opinion the top-notch ranch horses around.”

It is so fun for me to share these pictures and my experience with kelen, with you, knowing that you had such a strong connection with him. And it’s because of you and Chad that I now to have the most amazing experience I’ve ever had with a horse. He is SO special!!

Best Wishes,

BETTY

My husband and i bought a horse at the Teller Performance Horses a beautiful finished show horse to the sale last year. Our granddaughter has had a fun and successful show season on him. He has been everything they said he would be. Dreams come true at the Teller's Ranch.

LISA is the absolute best! Thank you to Robert Gomez at Teller Performance Ranch, you sure have trained a special girl! We can’t wait to see what the future success will be. Highly recommend Sierra and Premier Horse Sales for your next horse buying experience.

Ozzie went to his first shoot this weekend! He did absolutely amazing. She loves him! Wanted to share that with you!

I would like to thank you for coordinating such a great environment to buy horses. I am a novice, and visited other ranches, and I really like your approach and communication during the sale. The pre-sale assurances and radiographs were helpful, and during the weekend there was a lot of opportunity to meet the horses. I purchased Hemi and I couldn’t be happier.  David Teller was great to talk with and we together felt Hemi would be a good fit for me, if I was fortunate enough to get him. I was! Hemi arrived in California safe and sound thanks to the amazing hauling services you provide. They were very communicative each step of the way and made me feel at ease know Hemi was transported in good hands. Thank you for Hemi.

BILL

She is the best. Omg I adore her. I’m truly still on a high from last week when I got her. I am getting ready to ride her now. I am beyond happy and in love. David and Abish gave me her blessing to change her name. My granddaughters name is Cynthia Rose, so we are calling her Rose or Rose Girl. Thank you so much. I’m not a horse collector but you better believe next time I’m in the market I will buy from David and Abish Teller!

DIANA

I cannot thank you enough, David and Abish, for the wonderful experience I had at the Ride the Wave Sale in Ocala. From the moment I set eyes on Red Rae, and then took my first “test ride” you all were accommodating and extremely helpful on making sure I could communicate well with the horse you trained. “King” as he is affectionately called is a dream horse. I truly believe he is that rare “once in a lifetime” horse. Thank you so much for all the hard work you both have done to make this horse so perfect. Also thank you for the support prior to and after the sale. I will be forever grateful!

I purchased Spot from Teller Performance Horses in Texas and just wanted to let you know that I took him out today after a month off and he was perfect! David spends countless hours training their horses. I wanted a no nonsense horse and that’s exactly what I got! He stands when I mount him, walks off quietly, is a pleasure to ride and loads in the trailer every time. My favorite is that Spotless will move over to the mounting block for me to get on with a simple cluck. This comes in really handy out on the trail, he will move over to a rock or log, and wait patiently for me to get on. I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing a second horse from Teller Performance Horses. Thank you for Spotless!

My husband and I live in a very congested, noisy, city type of environment and we keep our horses at home. To get to our trails, we have to ride along a four lane highway and past several stores, coffee shops, etc…. The Teller's were up to the challenge and when I inquired about Coco, they thought that although he is only 5, he would fit my wishlist. When I tried Coco in Arizona, David was kind enough to haul him into Wickenburg so that I could “test ride” Coco down the city streets. I am happy to say that we have had Coco home for four days and he has already been out on our trails twice. He is the ultimate professional, and is taking all the noise and commotion in stride. He seems to really be enjoying himself. I can’t speak highly enough of David and Abish and their program. Performance and versatility are exactly what they are about! Many thanks for Coco!

ANNA

I bought Rocky from Teller Performance Horses, I honestly can not say enough good things about him! He’s the kind of horse that makes you never want to ride another but him! He has the best personality and is the most fun to be around!

ALISON

One year ago today Billy joined the family! 🖤🐴✨ I knew at the time that it felt right, but never could have imagined what an extraordinary impact he would have in my life!

A few things to share reflecting on this day one year later…

David and the entire Teller family, thank you for raising this incredible boy and for continuing to stay involved and supportive of our journey. You are talented, honest, and a gift to all who know you.

Billy, you exude happiness. I cherish every minute I get to spend with you. You reunited me with my childhood besties and introduced me to an amazing community of people in this new western world. I can’t believe how much we have had the opportunity to experience and learn together this year – from stepping into the show pen to working cows! You warmly greet and embrace all of my friends. You reignited my spirit and have made me better at work. You were an important shoulder to lean on in the months after saying goodbye to Buck. You brought me back home. You are my best friend and I’m thankful for you everyday!

David and the entire Teller team made the purchase experience seamless (and way too fast and exciting)! I have loved getting to know you all! Especially you David! “Ty, the man on the phone”!!!

There are some moments in life you never forget, this day will be one of them! #thankful #trailhorse #digginmoonshine #buckgotapony

I helped my client purchase Silverone online from the David Teller Performance Horses. We needed a super safe horse to travel some challenging trails in the Los Angeles area. Silverone has fit that job perfectly! He was everything that Micheal from Buckeye Farm had represented. He is also gorgeous and turns a lot of heads! We could not be happier!!

HILTON

After losing my beloved cutting horse “Manny” in June of 2023, my husband suggested that we look for another cutting horse. I wanted to try another discipline of Extreme Mountain Trail, so the search began. I discovered David Teller of Teller Performance Horses and realized that I wanted one of his horses. After choosing one of Teller's horses, my husband drove to Texas from California and he purchased PICKFORD for me. I never felt that I could love another horse as deep as I loved “Manny”, but PICKFORD has been an amazing horse, willing and trusting. We have competed in several Trail Trials riding in 3-7 miles of trails encountering manmade or natural judged obstacles. Honestly, there is no better horse than a TELLER PERFORMANCE HORSE. Pickford is proof of that!

We bought Lily over two years ago to be a little bit of an everything family horse. She is gentle, kind and always willing to please. I thought she would be mostly for my daughter but she now is my favorite go to horse for a bareback ride through the orchards after a long work day. We all share her and she is happy to participate, whether that is trail rides with me, arena work with my daughter or just a bath on the front lawn with the dog and kids. David at Teller Performance Horses was great about answering all my questions and being honest and upfront about what Link would excel at. She regularly checks in on us still after several years. We feel very lucky to have added Link to our barn and family.

SHIRLEY

Was looking for a pony for my grandkids. After about 6 months of searching, we came upon the ad for Applesauce. We have been competing, buying and selling horses for 40 years so I knew exactly what I was looking for. David was very honest and forthcoming. The 5 year POA we purchased was all she said and more. He has had everyone from my 2 year old granddaughter to a 70 year old woman riding him and everything in between. He was trained as a ranch pony and in 3 months we had him jumping 2’9” courses. David Teller is more than honest and stands behind their animals, a rare find in this world. I’d buy from them again.

Vikkie

We can’t say enough praise of Teller Performance and Family horses. David Teller has honesty and integrity. Teddy surpasses our expectations and has found his home!

NADIA

I needed to replace my lead horse . I needed a sharp confident horse, that could handle cattle, being out on the ranch alone with me, learn how to cope when running into bears (we have them living on our property in north central Washington). My horse did it all, confidently, every day. Curtis has some big hooves to fill, but having worked with him for a couple days, I KNOW he was the right choice. Confident, kind, and ready to go, I’m so happy I got him. Teller Performance Horses ensures that the horses you’re choosing from are sound, fit and as advertised. No need to worry about sellers ‘pulling the wool’. Teller Performance Horses delivers amazing horses, well trained, and ready to go.

SHANA

I could not be happier with my purchase from David and Abish Teller, he represented everything I was told about him. I took Burr back to the same arena I purchased him in for the ARHA World Show and won a World Title. Trust the sale and trust the seller is what the Teller Performance Horses are all about. I’ll definitely be back!

CHRIS

“Bale after a day of work, a bath and a turn out. He has been great! Fits right in and is all you said. We are very pleased with him. Thank you Teller Performance Horses for a great horse.”

NOGA

Teller Performance Horses are even better than advertised. Since I purchased Ed he has been the perfect horse – from training and personally to soundness. David Teller has consistently followed up with me to see how we are doing which shows his love for his horses and his care for his customers. I would recommend them to anyone.

RITA

I purchased Scott from Teller Performance Horses. He has been a great addition to my herd. He is such a great horse that you can get him amped up to work a cow and then quickly come down and be so calm. I was at a cow clinic with him this past weekend and he was chilling by the side of the arena when some fence panels that were leaning against the arena crashed down very close to where he was standing. He never moved. I almost wondered if he heard it. Other horses and cows all side stepped and darted away but Scott stood and never moved from where we had left him -he was only ground tied by the way. It is certainly a relief to know that the horses auctioned off at the sale were vetted and were exactly as they were represented. We are so happy to have Scott with us. He’s got a great personality and I plan on continuing to nourish it and encourage his curiosity and playfulness. Thanks to David Teller for helping me find my dream horse!

PAMELA

She’s the most beautiful and gentle horse in the world. I’m crazy about her! I’ve been looking for this horse my entire life! I honestly thought that if she was half as good as advertised, I’d be thrilled. David and Abish could not have been more honest. They hand delivered a horse that was not only supremely trained and super safe, she is the sweetest horse I’ve ever met. Thank you Teller Performance Horses! You guys are the real deal!

LAYMANS

We couldn’t be happier with our sweet boy Terry! He is such a special boy, my daughter had an instant connection with him from the very beginning and it just keeps getting stronger. He is such a well trained horse who has a steady temperament. He is gentle, calm, responsive, and all around the perfect fit for us. His canter is smooth and family trail rides with him are so enjoyable. Thank you David Teller Performance Horses for producing such a perfect addition to our family 🥰🐴❤️  In fact, we brought home 3 others as well and they are all a wonderful addition to the family ranch!

DeWitt

Bought this fellow for my beginner husband & Dorian has been the most careful, kind & forgiving individual. He is not for sale.
It’s rare to get get an individual who is handsome, broke to death and trustworthy for the entire family.

SAYLOR

Purchased Mr Bean at Teller Performance Horses in McAllen, TX. The entire experience was extremely nice. The ranch is over the top nice and the horses sold there as well. Mr Bean was trained by David Teller and his family. Mr. Bean was very well represented by David. He is extremely well trained, gentle and sound. Looking to put him to work on our cattle ranch in Osceola County, Fl. I know several people who have purchased horses from David Teller and all are extremely happy. David and his family are stand up folks.

STEINWAND

Looking forward to many years of fun with him. This will be my second horse purchased from David Teller's Performance Horses. Many thanks for this special boy! I love both horses and you guys have the best auction services around!!

ANNETTE

Preach is a dream come true! Although I said I would never purchase a horse before seeing him and riding him in person, I broke my rules after extensive conversations with David Teller I could not be happier! David answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable purchasing Preach online. Preach is stunningly beautiful and so much fun to ride. I have started taking reining lessons on him, and he has been an amazing partner. I am looking forward to a bright future with my new boy and know he is going to make me PREACH in the arena and on the trails. Thank you to David and Teller Performance Horses team for being honest, trustworthy trainers and sellers!

LYNN

I recently purchased Poe, at the David Teller Performance Horses and I am writing to let you know how very happy I am with everything about the sales, assistance and advice provided by you during and after the purchase. Teller was extremely informative, cheerful, and astute in helping me on the horse I wanted. I don’t think I would have gotten my horse if not for him. David was forthcoming with information on feed, tack, previous training, and is clearly interested in the well being of the horse. Basically, he will answer every question I have had after the sale promptly. If I am ever in the market for another horse, one trained by Mr. Teller would be at the top of my list. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience for me as a first-time auction buyer!
Thank you again,

MORALES

We purchased Blues from Teller Performance Horses. We just wanted to let you know he is doing great and we’re in love with him! My daughter rode him today gathering cows. The tornados were close but we were fine! We had quite a few trees down but no real damage. Hope y’all are well thank you for the sale!

COX

Hey David and Abish…..glad to see you folks are still at it….the Lord be with you and afford you guys the success you deserve….
God bless all

JOE

This horse makes me so happy. He was not even on my radar when I came to your ranch, but the day of the sale he caught my eye. As I was looking at other horses, I kept watching his calm nature standing there with no head stall on and the young man swinging a rope on him. After telling me about him, I knew he was the horse for me. Thank you so much for bringing sound quality horses to this sale. I will never regret my purchase!!!

CHARMANE

David Teller is a true professional. We look forward to getting another horse very soon form them. They sell quality over quantity and the measures they go to produce a top-notch sale are second to none. I highly recommend them to buy from. They will not disappoint.

WILLIAM

Recommend them 1000 times over! David answered every question I had, no matter the time of day. He helped us through the entire process of getting our horses settled and into the best home we could have imagined! They strive to produce the best sale in the US and they have succeeded! They go above and beyond for their buyers to help ensure they will be bringing home a safe, sound, and reliable partner! 

VIVIAN

They are a true bunch of folks and won’t steer you wrong on a horse or mule. They handpick clients and their stock, very easy to work with. They are upper class, sincere folks in everything they do. Heck just look at their kids, well behaved, working kids, well mannered, they do a fantastic job. Trust these folks in whatever they tell you.

BEATRICE

Honest and horses are exactly what they represent them to be. So happy with the three I bought.

RENEE

My grandpa bought a horse from Teller Performance Horses and he is an amazing horse, he is exactly as they advertised him to be. He is one that everyone enjoys. It was an amazing sale that was very honest, and smooth running!

MANDY

Hi! I Just wanted to give you an update on sweet Atti. She is doing amazingly well and we are so in love with her! She is seriously as sweet as a kitten. When Atti first came, she was a bit fidgety and unsure of what her job was. When I was looking at Atti at your place, I asked Amy what she would change about Atti if she could.. she said she’d want her to improve on her showmanship skills because she doesn’t like to stand still. Well, I can report that Atti stands quietly in the crossties now, and she is coming along very well in showmanship too! She still likes to be very ‘in your pocket’ but she has learned about personal space and knows when to stand quietly. She is so super mellow and kind, just the sweetest pony. Nothing shakes her- not even when we did jousting with pool noodles at the kid’s last Pony Play Day. Waving those noodles around and jousting didn’t bother her a bit. She is definitely a barn favorite. She has many years to grow with our family, as our youngest daughter is a tiny 5-year-old. Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful pony, and it’s nice that she’s drop-dead gorgeous too.

LILLIAN

Hi there – I just wanted to let you know we bought Pat from you. He is now living in the beautiful Hill
Country of Texas! It’s our second horse from Teller Performance Horses and it exceeded
our expectations in every way. We are so astounded we were able to get him and just over the moon. He is, as so often happens, more incredibly beautiful in person. We trust David at Teller Performance Horses – they have always
been very supportive, nice and have what I feel is a world-class training
program. Thank you!
