ISO for several beginner/intermediate clients.

Safe, well mannered horse on the ground and under saddle, the odd playbis fine but nothing dirty. 14hh-16.2hh, nothing green, solid all arounder as these are for first time owners looking to dabble in jumping and dressage. Bonus if able to take on trail rides. Looking to show on the Island and local shows.

Lease to own, lease or purchase are all options they are open to. 

Budget low 5's,  all clients are forever homes.

Bowie
2014 Appendix Gelding

Taylor
2000 QH Mare

Sadly the decision has been made to find Bowie and Taylor semi retirement homes. Both school masters are still game to do w/t/c work a few times a week and hit the trails. We will be very picky on where they go as they deserve only the best, with preference to a family home so they still have their children they care about to keep giving them daily love, as they taper down to retirment over the next few years.

No school string, no competition homes/or possibility of wanting to try one at a local show, they have done their jobs and deserve a slower paced life now.

Please pass along and have anyone interested contact Trish to see if you are a candidate for either of them!
