| MEET THE TINDELLSJerry and Toni Tindell would like you to meet the family of Tindell’s Horse & Mule School. Jerry came to California in 1971 where he began shoeing horses with his older brother Duke Tindell. While Jerry was shoeing horses he met a cowgirl named Toni Smith. Toni worked at Knott’s Berry Farm working the burro ride. In 1976 Jerry and Toni were married and had a daughter in 1977 they named Joni (AKA, Babygirl). Jerry and Toni moved to Hesperia, California in 1996 where Toni’s parents Dale and Janet Smith had moved. Dale and Janet loved to be around horses and mules and also played an active role in Tindell’s Horse & Mule School. Janet went home to be with Jesus August 31, 2005. Dale Smith (AKA, Smitty, gardener, handyman and Chick magnet) lives here at the Hesperia ranch and spends his time helping Jerry and Toni. Joni married her high school sweetheart, Phil Bennett (AKA, Sarge). They also live at the Hesperia ranch with their four children, Seth who is seven (AKA, Slim), Cody who is six (AKA, Hoss), Bruce who is ten (AKA, Minute Man) and Annie Marie who is six (AKA, Princess). Phil spent four years in the United States Army where he was a SGT and served two tours in Iraq. He now works at the Hesperia ranch as a ranch hand. Phil and Joni and all four kids play an active roll in supporting and helping Jerry and Toni in all areas. We have 20 plus horses and mules and 5 dogs. The little wranglers spend a lot of their time working and riding their horse, Casey the Cow Pony and Winston the Mule. They work on their groundwork, round pen, riding and working cow’s skills. From our family to yours, we would like to thank you for visiting Tindell’s Horse & Mule School (humans too). God Bless you all. - The Tindell Family |
