Matthews Cutting Horses was first established in the small east coast town of Turkey, North Carolina. The original farm was home to the Matthews family for three generations, and is where the family-owned pork and poultry business originated decades ago.

Jeffrey Matthews is very connected to his east coast roots in North Carolina, and feels strongly that the farm is an ideal location for the Matthews broodmares and young stock to reside and thrive. It is where the offspring reside until just before their 2-year-old year, when they are sent to the Matthews cutting horses location in Weatherford, TX, where Jeffrey and Sheri Matthews reside today.

In Weatherford, the 2-year-olds are started in the Matthews’ program for 60 – 120 days, and then are placed with some of the finest trainers in the performance horse industry today.

Subsequently, in the most elite competitive environment, Matthews cutting horses has become a name synonymous with superior performance horse bloodlines. behind the fine horses bred and owned by the Matthews ranch is a breeding program of uncompromising standards and steadfast values. at its core is the Matthews’ vision for creating an operation built on extraordinary bloodlines, exceptional performance and the highest degree of structural integrity.

Jeffrey Matthew’s standards for superb quality have been historically influenced by some of the most renowned Reinsmen of the west coast…and the impression their training techniques left on Jeffrey Matthews years ago. in particular, his experience with legendary horsemen and mentors instilled in him an understanding of the distinct need for structural soundness in the performance horse. as a result, Matthews' horses today possess world-class pedigrees along with the physical components to sustain soundness in today's intense competition.

"I believe in this industry…and the extraordinary horses and people that contribute to its greatness.
Matthews Cutting Horses is built on this caliber of individuals."
