M Performance Horses is run by Maura & Nathan Merkle, created in March of 2021. Maura has spent her entire life with a love for horses. From training horses and teaching lessons, to competing in Ranch Horse and NRCHA shows, horses have always been her passion. Nathan is an engineer by trade who has grown to love horses and the culture around them through Maura. Together they saw an opportunity to make a mechanical flag training system that is lightweight, portable, and most importantly, affordable.
Thus the TF Cutter was created. The TF Cutter is a great training tool to help start young horses in preparation to work cattle or to tune up your steady finished horse. With a simple design, it is an affordable solution for entry level to amateur riders.
Through the journey of the TF Cutter, and now the TF Barrels, M Performance Horses has gone from a small production in an Ohio basement, to an exciting and growing horse training program in Missouri.
At M Performance Horses, we believe in making quality products that are accessible to all horsemen and horsewoman.
