I’ve got 3 beautiful 😍 saddles, all 16” seats with 7” gullets, all in excellent condition & stored in a saddle bag, which comes with each saddle! One Billy Cook Pro Reiner, one Billy Cook Maker, and one Silver Supreme

All 3 saddles are practically new, the suede seats have zero wear, these are really nice saddles - I’m the only one who rides & I’ve got 6 saddles, so these saddles are just taking up space in my trailer & need to be put to better use! Asking $1750 each located in Fort St John, BC but could deliver to Prince George, Grande Prairie, or possibly Drayton Valley area

I hit a milestone yesterday & thought I’d share just a wee bit of my storey for these past 3 years, as there’s been so many rumours floating around because folks jump to conclusions & make assumptions so quickly these days, without any concept of compassion or empathy. I’m hoping my sharing will help someone else, and/or make people more aware of their own actions or reactions & always, always have compassion for others, because we can’t possibly know what’s going on in someone else’s world 🙏🏻

I went to the hairdresser yesterday and got my hair coloured & cut for the first time in 3 years without pain! It’s the first time in over 3 years that I could actually sit at the sink chair & get my hair washed, without excruciating pain - it doesn’t sound like a milestone for many, but that was a significant milestone for me! Why? Because I haven’t been able to style my own hair for over 3 years, I’ve been suffering from chronic pain which started with frozen shoulder that was misdiagnosed and wrongly treated, causing frozen shoulder in both my shoulders! I suffered with both shoulders frozen for 2 years due to misdiagnosis and wrongful treatment - in the midst of dealing with that, I got appendicitis and required emergency surgery! I was just starting to “thaw” my shoulders & get my life back on track when I severed the main tendon in my right hand (yes, I’m right handed) .

Remember, this is a fragment of my past 3 years, there’s so many other things that occurred within this time frame, but that would be a novel, or perhaps a series of novels! I’m writing this tidbit only in hopes to soften people, get back to being more human(humane) and treat each other with more dignity and respect, we can all do better ♥️

Unfortunately the surgeon I was referred to, was clearly over worked & exhausted from the fragment of a health care system we have right now & performed two surgeries that were completely wrong (another context for a novel) long storey short, over the past year I’ve been dealing with chronic nerve pain due to the damage to my nerves from the botched surgeries which resulted in me having a finger and partial hand amputation 😳 that surgery was January 31, 2024 and May of this year is the first month where I started feeling the effects of the medications to dull my chronic nerve pain.

For the first time in 3 years, I can finally feel myself coming back to “me” which I didn’t realize how “gone” I was, until the pain was lifted & I could function without just focusing on getting through each day!

In a nutshell, I’m not quitting my real estate career, I love what I do & I apologize for not being able to answer my phone, texts, or emails as quickly as some people feel necessary; sometimes it may have taken me a day or two, maybe more - certainly not good for business, but the best I could do at the time 😞

I’m a very private person normally, so most folks have no idea 🤷‍♀️ this is what my life has been these past few years, which again, is why I’m writing this now - we aren’t privy to what’s going on in other peoples lives, whether it’s the cashier at the grocery store, the nurse at the hospital, the surgeon performing your surgery, and so on - please, please have more compassion for others, the way you would hope others will have compassion for you 🙏🏻

I’m happy to report that so far, so good & I’m looking forward to start living my life as I used to, by doing my own hair, working my business & acting on behalf of my clients the best way possible, and also enjoying my private life with my husband, family & enjoying our beautiful farm life that we’ve worked SO hard to achieve!

God bless all of you for reading my thread this morning, I’m wishing you all the very best in everything you set out to do & a better world 🌎 going forward into these unchartered waters for every one of us 🙏🏻♥️

Have an amazing ☀️day!

Going ONLINE tomorrow with Canadian Horses To Move

BEAUTIFUL 😍 blue roan dual registered AQHA FQHA appendix mare with proven old time working ranch & cow horse lineage! “Grizz” literally checks ✅ all the boxes, she’s got the sweetest temperament & personality, she LOVES attention, is the first one to greet you in the pasture & will follow you around like a puppy dog 🐶

Grizz has over 6 months of professional training & is nicely broke with some buttons. She was nicely started as a 3yr old, then got some time off to raise an outstanding 🥰 bay roan filly in 2023, which we are keeping (a true testament of not only what this mare is, but also that she passes her exceptional qualities onto her offspring.) She caught with the first breeding, carried her foal with ease, and foaled out without issue; she is an excellent momma, produces good milk & is a pleasure to handle any minute, hour, or day regardless of the situation - Grizz is an absolute gem 💎 to be around 24/7!

She just came home from her refresher at the trainers yesterday, which is when these photos were taken (in the barn) and videos are all from June 16, 2024. Grizz is fit and ready to go absolutely any direction you’d like to take her! This mare will literally track anything from cattle, the dogs, and us in the side by side 😂 if you’re looking for a fantastic ranch prospect who’ll put you on the cow, or a roping, penning, sorting kinda mare - she’s your gal! With her height of 15.2HH, breeding and athletic ability, she’d make a great barrel prospect too - this mare MOVES OUT without effort & seems to float on air! Which also makes me think she’d cross over to the English disciplines with ease, her floaty movement & stride could take her into the dressage ring, or over jumps - or ALL of the ABOVE 👆🏻

Grizz rides beautifully under saddle, ba****ck, inside & out, she’s great out on the trail, and has pony’d c**ts! Her ground manners are impeccable, she leads, ties, trailer loads, handles for the vet (ultrasounds), farrier & visitors with the utmost respect!

She’s definitely a mare you can take and ride all day long, and breed her in a few years too! She’s 6 Panel N/N and proven as a riding horse & broodmare, combine her outstanding qualities with her flashy ⚡️ colour, superb conformation, excellent feet/bone, a pretty head & big hip, with a pedigree to back her up - she should become your next lifetime partner, heart ♥️ horse!

NO VICES, NO ISSUES, NO INJURIES, 100% SOUND - GUARANTEED

She’s utd on vaccines 💉 worming, and farrier every 8 weeks, always kept and rode barefoot without issue.

GST will be added to the purchase price.

We’re located in Fort St John, BC and could help with transport 🛻 either all or part way depending, text me for more details at 250-793-4270

Online tomorrow with Canadian Horses To Move, NO RESERVE

Check out the amazing pedigree on this STUNNING grullo Tovero APHA mare! It is RARE to find bloodlines like Highbrow Hickory, Especialysmart Peppy, Leo San Cita on the papers! Combined with her beautiful 😍 unique colour grullo and having both the Tobiano and Overo genes, making her a higher colour producer! This is a mare that EVERYONE should want in their breeding program, as she’s also 6 Panel N/N with LWO/N

At only 12 years old, this mare has many years left in her & is still young enough if someone wanted to start her as a project, she’s 100% sound, no scars or injuries & she’s great to handle on the ground once you catch her 😬 she loves to be brushed, leads, ties well and trailer loads beautifully!

The cons, she’s an SOB to catch! Ugh 🤦🏻‍♀️ we hand breed all of our mares, and keep our herd in a large pasture, so we need to be able to catch them with ease, as we don’t have many small pens & definitely don’t have the time to work with her right now!

NO RESERVE, take advantage of this beautiful 😍 mare if you’ve got the time to work with her, or you prefer to pasture breed & don’t need to catch her regularly! This mare has size at 15.2hh, solid feet/bone, excellent conformation, a pretty head, superb pedigree & all the colour/flash ⚡️ you could ask for!

GST will be added, we’re located in Fort St John, BC and could possibly haul or meet part way!

Horses know.

From the second you step into the stall, they know what kind of day you’ve had.

They can sense your stress.
They can sense your exhaustion.
They can feel your sense of urgency.
They can sense your tension.

But, they can also sense your relaxation.
They can sense your enthusiasm.
They can sense your presence.
They can sense your joy.
They can sense things about you that you might not even be aware of yourself.

A horse’s intuition is a gift.
It is a gift that holds you accountable.
It challenges you to show up as the best version of yourself.

When you give your horse your best self, you help them give their best to you.

Copied from another breeder, but I definitely agree with everything below!

I am posting this to address the pricing of our foals as we have had many inquiries but when price disclosed no responses or been told too expensive. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify our pricing strategy and explain why we believe our prices are justified.
First and foremost, it is essential to understand that our pricing reflects the quality and value of our foals. We take great pride in the breeding and care that goes into each and every one of our animals. Our foals are bred from outstanding bloodlines, ensuring superior genetics and potential for performance in various disciplines.
Furthermore, our foals undergo diligent care and upbringing, including proper nutrition, veterinary care (if needed), and socialization. We invest significant time and resources into ensuring that our foals receive the best possible start in life, which contributes to their overall health, temperament, and trainability.

In addition to the quality of our foals, our pricing also considers market factors, including demand, competition, and industry standards. While it is true that our prices may be higher than some others in the market, we firmly believe that they are comparable with the value we offer.
It is also important to note that purchasing a foal is an investment, not just an expense. A well-bred and well-raised foal has the potential to excel in various equestrian pursuits, whether it be in the show ring, competitions, or as a cherished companion. When viewed in this light, our prices represent a sound investment in the future.
We understand that budgetary constraints may influence purchasing decisions, and we strive to accommodate through payment options. Additionally, we are always open to discussing pricing on an individual basis and exploring ways to meet the needs of our customers.

In conclusion, we want to assure you that our pricing is fair and reflective of the quality, value, and investment that we put into our foals. We remain committed to providing exceptional horses and service for our customers and welcome any further discussions or inquiries regarding our foals.

Here’s your chance to gain a couple of very well bred, nice mannered palomino mares to add a little colour, pedigree & superb conformation to your breeding program! It’s not just a cliche, my loss is very much your gain & due to my stud no longer breeding (hence these girls are open) I’m rethinking my entire future!

Get ‘em while I’m on this mission, the AQHA mare “Peponita” has given us 3 incredible foals so far, she passes on her incredible conformation, great bone, excellent feet, pretty head, big hip & trainability plus! She’s running and working ranch bred and crosses beautifully with our cutting, reining, working cow horse stud; but would also compliment any other disciplines to cross with, she’s 6 panel N/N.

Next is our stunning 😍 palomino overo Blue Max, Red Express bred APHA mare, she’s got that beautiful baby doll head, huge hip & great bone, feet, conformation that she also passes onto her foals! This mare is also open due to our stud’s issues & therefore that’s the only reason she’s looking for a new pasture as well! She threw two incredible c**ts for us while she’s been here, passing all her great qualities down! She’s 6 panel N/N and of course is LWO

Both mares are excellent to catch (no catching required) they’re both very friendly, love to be brushed & pampered, live in a large herd, but come into the barn & know to use the shelters. They’re both vaccinated with 5-way, worming utd, they lead, tie, load & trailer like old riding horses should & they’re excellent for the vet for ultrasounds, to bring into the stocks. They’re both about middle of the herd for pecking order, but not bossy or bi***es, they’re great in a large herd & used to being pastured with foals up to senior horses 🐴 , donkeys 🫏 , llamas 🦙, dogs 🐶, cats 🐱, and having machinery & equipment 🚜 running around them, they’re not spooky, flighty, or crazy sensitive; they’re mild mannered, sensible & quiet nice mares!

Both mares are in their prime, get them now, so you can breed them as soon as you’re ready to!

We’re located in Fort St John, BC with connections to many transporters & may be able to assist with transport for an additional 💰
