Black Velvet is an 8 year old Canadian X Morgan mare standing around 15.1hh. UTD on farrier, vaccines and deworming. Velvet has been taken along slowly and correctly, and has very well established groundwork trained via Parelli methods. Velvet was started under saddle last year with us and completed about 60 days under saddle in an indoor arena. She also spent the fall and winter trail riding with her owner.

She came back into work with us June 1st and is being ridden consistently in a training program. She has a sweet horsenality with a good (learner or work) attitude.

Velvet would currently be considered green under saddle, she is going well WJL, side pass, turn on HQ and FH. She will require an experienced rider with consistency to continue her training. We are looking for the perfect home for her and will be requesting references. Reason for selling: Owner does not have the time or circumstances to give her the consistency she deserves to become her best self. Potential for trail mount, ranch riding, western dressage, reining or she should have no problem switching to english for low jumpers or dressage.

* English photos are the first and so far only time she has been ridden english.

We are super excited to have gotten all of the arena sand in and spread! I was able to have our first ride in our new 90'×220' outdoor on Wednesday. We have 2 sides of 3 board left to install so hopefully in the next week or 2 it will be ready to start bringing c**ts out to ride in. The additional width is an amazing opportunity for expansion and ability to soak up the Nova Scotia summer sun while we can while our indoor is great for poor weather and night riding.

We are excited to be working with Black Velvet again this year! Velvet spent a few months with us last year in our c**t starting program then doing arena work and trail riding. She went home to be trail ridden with her owner then had part of the winter off. We will be working with her more this year until she is ready to be sold on consignment for her owner.

2010 Grade, 15.2hh, varnish roan Appy mare.
Awesome to load and haul.
Was started under saddle last year then sat for a few months, recently brought back into work.
Professionally started, would put her around a green broke level just uncurrent, has had 3 rides back in work and quickly getting back in the swing of things. Will need a bit of work on her lope for smaller circles, our indoor is 45' wide and that is a bit tight for her size and balance.
Photos are from Sept 8, 2022.
Has done some turn on the forehand, HQ, and side passing. Has gone through tall grasses and shallow water, has been ridden while I've worn a slicker(oilskin) in the rain, ridden unphased while the local welder arc welded, grinded, and banged around making hay spears outside the outdoor riding arena we were at last year. Used to skid steers, tractors vehicles and lots of noise.
She's a good mare, would make a great trail horse and has shown she would be good to just hop on and go once she's finished training. Flashy enough for a show ring.
Is blind in her right eye.
Shipping can be arranged.
