Barn favorite coming at you!

Dark Chocolates Only aka Hershey is the barn favorite and we have been waiting to post him so we can enjoy him 😂🫣.

8 year old AQHA 15.2 hand gelding. This handsome boy has a teddy bear head and a soft eye. He has fantastic ground manners. Ties and stands for hours. Loads and unloads. Rides in all the new places. He is a genuine jack of all trades.

Hershey has been ridden English and western, trail ridden, and started over fences. He has the size and sensibility to be a pony horse. He’s quiet and forgiving enough to be a lesson horse in both an English or a western program. On the trail, he goes over, through, and anywhere you point him. He’s happy to lead or follow.

We’ve hauled Hershey to other barns and he rides the same there as he does at home. He can be left off a week or two and ride the same as if you ride him every day. He is more woah than go but you don’t have to kick and whoop on him to go.

Hershey is my assistant’s favorite and I’ve got to post him. She made shed some tears when he goes but we’re very excited for you to get to have the opportunity to own him for yourself.

X-rays are on file for your convenience.

We’re bringing you a super cute and fancy 5 year old draft cross gelding. Angus stands 15.3 hands and is an easy natured, gentle for anyone ride.

Angus is a very sweet gelding that has the best soggy trot and would excel in ranch classes or western dressage. He is naturally low headed and travels with an open freedom to his movement. He is correct and uphill in his canter, but he is more woah than go and can take some prodding to stay in the canter. In the arena, he is safe for any level of rider and complete beginners can sit on him. The worst he will offer to do is try to hang out with other horses/people or at the gate.

In our program he has also been ridden English and goes over cross rails. He would make an excellent walk/trot lesson asset. He is flashy enough and a nice enough mover to bring home ribbons in the flat classes. He hauls out to new arenas and rides well.

At our farm, he is exposed to dogs, pigs, cattle, and a llama. He has adjusted and taken all in stride. We have hauled him out and ridden him through running water, ponds, ditches, over fallen trees, and in open fields. He enjoys trail riding and loves water. He may try to roll on you in a large body of water. Angus has not had a lot of trail miles yet and can sometimes be a little looky or on edge, but he has not spooked on us in quite some time. I would still recommend an intermediate rider for outside riding until he has more miles.

Angus is located in Athens, Tx and will have X-rays on file for your convenience later this week.

Check out something different.
Buddy is a 5 year old 14 hand paso fino cross gelding registered with the Equines of America. He is gaited and naturally very smooth. In the photos and videos, the rider is almost 6ft tall.

Buddy enjoys trail riding and will go over any obstacle or bridge and through any water. He is dog broke and has seen deer and pigs. He loads right into the trailer and will turn around and walk out or back out. He is accustomed to being mounted on both his right and left side and is the perfect small, but stout size, to be able to get on and off of while on the trail. Unlike most gaited horses I have ridden, Buddy DOES have a canter and goes around both directions on the correct lead.

For the avid trail riders, buddy hobbles and will stand tied for hours on end. We have recently started working him in a pack.

Buddy is a “one person” type horse. He takes a little time to warm up to new people and he likes a consistent routine. He has a lot of personality and enjoys his scratches and absolutely loves to stick his head through the opening he’s made in his shade cloth and watch the trainers teach lessons or work with other horses. This cute, young gelding has no vices and will go far in life with many long years of enjoyment ahead of him.

We’re bringing you one that’s extra fancy! AQHA/APHA/PtHA triple registered. The Cancun Kid is a gorgeous buckskin paint 12 year old gelding that stands 16 hands!

Kid is extremely versatile and makes a willing partner in many different disciplines. He has been trained and shown in the ranch riding, ranch trail, performance halter, and roped on. He has won Grand Champion in Performance Halter and Grand Champion in Overo Color. He was at World Paint and World Pinto shows in 2020 and 2021.

In our program he has been ridden English (both hunt seat and dressage) and has been started over fences. He really enjoys jumping and would excel as a hunter. We have started Kid on the barrel pattern and he is slow loping a nice pattern. He is ready for speed and has the agility, drive, and motor to make a competitive barrel horse.

Competition and events aren’t your thing? Kid LOVES to trail ride. There is no water, ditch, tree or branch he won’t go through. No cows, deer, or birds flushing by out of the branches that will bother him. He greatly enjoys seeing new things and is happiest place to be is on a trail ride. He is quite happy to go out alone or ride with others. He isn’t picky.

While I do have video of a child riding Kid, I do not recommend him for a complete beginner or a timid rider. Kid has absolutely NO vices. He is gentle and safe. He is a strong horse that prefers to have a task and a rider with a little bit of knowledge.

This gelding is my personal favorite in the barn. He’s always on my string unless I “have” to share 🫣.

Only One Hoo Got It. Aka. Theo. He is a 7 year old APHA gelding that stands 17 hands. But if that’s too tall for you I’d be happy to tell you he’s only 16.2 and we can all just pretend 😂.

Theo is exceptionally well bred and well trained. He did not make the cut to be a high end western pleasure horse, as his owners intended for him, but he would LOVE to be your trail horse, ranch horse, hunter under saddle, hunter/jumper, best friend and jack of all trades type!

Theo hauls out to new places and settles in like an old pro. Take him to a show, bop around in a friend or trainer’s arena, or take him out to trail ride and explore new sights! He takes it all in stride and has fun while he is at it.

This fancy gelding is the best eye catcher around. People walk in the barn and they are always drawn to him. When I haul him to new places, I am always approached and asked about him. He is sweet, personable, and cuddly without being rude or in your space. Theo has excellent ground manners and loads in a trailer and backs out. He stands tied all day. He’s a saint for the farrier and is currently shod on the front (I shoe all of my horses with at least fronts and often all the way around).

When we have left the property to haul out, he has been exposed to many different things and had not offered any kind of concern or spook at all. He has seen pigs, deer, jumps, exotics, dogs leaping across streams and splashing in water with him, and ridden by multiple levels of riders and enjoyed by all.

Don’t be daunted by the fact that Theo is grey. He is tidy and easy to keep clean! He does not seek to lay in the dirty spots and brushes right out easily. Theo gets along with other horses and has been turned out alone and with other geldings. He is easy to catch. And he has excellent stall manners.

I really can’t say enough good things about this horse. I can’t wait for someone else to experience how wonderful he is, but I will miss having my favorite ride in the barn!

Weather hasn’t cooperated so I don’t have her conformation pics yet. But I have to show you this awesome 12 year old AQHA mare we have!

Gems Lopin Senorita. She affectionately goes by Cowgirl, always has the most pleasant expression to her, loves attention, easy to get along with, and nicely broke to ride on top of it all! She’s great size at 15.1 hands.

Cowgirl trail rides alone or with others. She has a lovely neck rein and goes through water, in ravines, over logs and will push a cow or two. She’s super fun in the arena with nice lateral movements and can open a gate, cross poles, and lope around on a loose rein.

And you can’t look past the fact that she is the perfect buttermilk buckskin, with black legs and black points and conformationally correct. She is one of the most gorgeous horses in the barn and everyone stops to check her out!

Whether you’re looking to trail ride, push some cattle, or show in the ranch classes at the local level, Cowgirl is ready to give you her best and make it enjoyable.

Budget friendly trail gelding! Poki is grade, 14 years old, and 14.3 hands. He is stout made and friendly to people. Easy to handle on the ground, and safe for any level of rider.

Poki hails from the north originally and still grows a wooly winter coat. He’s probably the only horse in Texas prepared for next weeks winter temperatures 😂.

This cool, red dun gelding has previously done some ranch work but has spent most of his life as a trail string horse. He is safe for any level of rider. He will trail ride anywhere you point him. He will cross water, ditches, and brush without a second thought.

Poki is more woah than go, but in his time in our program, we have worked on his trot and canter and he has progressed significantly. He will trot nice figure eights and lope correctly on both leads. He’s gentle enough to make a lesson program asset as well.

We’re starting off the New Year with my absolute favorite mare in the barn!

Karsyn’s Badger (Rose) is an 8 year old AQHA mare. She stands 15.1 hands and is one of the best horses in the barn to ride.
Rose has had a cutter foundation and is handy with a little feel. She is also the forgiving type, so she won’t be too feely for a beginner or less experienced rider. She has been trained on a flag, she will track a cow, swing a rope, and she can cover long miles out on the pasture and range.
Rose has the most enjoyable ground covering sitting jog and long trot I have ridden in quite some time. She travels on a long, loose rein, and you don’t have to worry yourself with her running off. She has not spooked one time while she has been in our barn, and we have exposed her to a lot; from exotic deer, to bald eagles flying from nests, water, cattle, dogs and more.

Rose has been owned by an amateur family and she was the go to horse for friends, kids of friends, or anyone that just needed a safe horse to bop around on. She has even been ridden English and is quite talented over a cross rail and low jump. She would be a phenomenal lesson horse or low level cross country or eventer should her new owner wish to take her that way.

In my barn, Rose gets fought over because everyone wants to ride her. Trail riding or arena work, she always comes to the party with a ready to please attitude and has the training and full body softness to be an absolutely fun horse to ride regardless of what you want to try your hand at.

I would be confident for Rose to go to a beginner family, child, or lesson program. She has never offered to put a foot wrong and I would keep her for myself if I could!

Just before Christmas! We’d love to help make this special mare appear beneath your tree with a bow!

Dancer is a 16 year old APHA mare that stands 16 hands. She’s well broke with a nice neck rein and safe for ANYONE to ride. Dancer is the same horse whether she is ridden daily or left off for weeks at a time. She is the first to come greet you from pasture, and she has fantastic ground manners.

Dancer is currently a barn favorite. She’s sweet to all people and she is the type I can put literally anyone on and tell them to "go have fun". She rides in the arena and out on the trail. Through water and over bridges. Carries a flag and swings a rope. Dancer’s previous owner’s took her to youth rodeos where she ran barrels and poles. She has been used for English lessons and is straight and honest over a jump. She is a trail riding extraordinaire and will cross running water and go through ditches and ravines. She has been exposed to exotics too.

Take Dancer out and feel safe and confident enough to drop a loose drape rein on her at any speed; she will take care of you! Dancer has a lovely sitting trot and a nice extended trot for the ranch classes. She lopes on a loose rein and steers great with a neck rein and leg. I really can't say enough good things about this horse. She hasn't put a foot wrong while she’s been here and she has done everything with a great attitude.

Wildblue Saeed is a 2022 registered straight Egyptian Arabian colt. Color tested, he is a true black SE with a skunk tail! He is sweet, friendly, and has all of his baby basics down. He halters, leads, loads, ties, and is started on lunging. He is pretty good for the farrier but still needs someone by his head for reassurance. Saeed would excel as an SE halter horse or in the performance world he would be a good western or sporthorse prospect. He is an "in your tent" kind of horse and would add value to any Arabian or half Arabian breeding program. https://youtu.be/mZ2Gh7djGCA?si=HV1avw9h6xSrKwME Color test results: aa Ee Dna genetic results: CA/OOAM/LFS/SCID clear.
