8 year old grade 15.2 hand mare. Lady is broke to ride, has had foals, and is an easy mare to handle. You can’t go wrong with one like this in your barn.

Lady has been ridden English and western. She has been jumped and started on a cross country course. She has nice forward movement and she is very easy to ride. She would make a phenomenal investment type.

For the people looking for a recip mare that is also sound and rideable, this mare would be the perfect one! She has had two foals (2023 and 2024) and is an excellent mother and easy keeper.

Currently, lady is undergoing a tuneup, and being used as an intermediate level lesson horse. She is sound, no vices, easy to get along with, and likes other horses.

Check out this super cute 10 year old 13.2 hand mare! Rose is as stout as she is tall and carries an average adult rider well. She goes both English and western and trail rides like a dream boat.

Rose has been used extensively as a nose to tail trail horse and can occasionally be a little insistent about stopping to eat. She has had some time with some cowboys and learned how to check fences, follow a cow, and get a good days work out in. Most recently she has been undergoing an arena and overall training tuneup. She is educated enough to pick up the correct lead, trot and lope circles, and she is willing to take a joke.

Rose is a go getter and always looks to get the job done as quickly as she can. She is a great step up type and would excel as a playday pony, back on a trail string, a teenagers first horse, or an English investment pony.

Rose is well mannered in a stall, she is easy to catch from pasture, and she gets along well with other horses.

Just a quick post for a friend. 14 year old Appaloosa gelding. 14.3 hands. He is just a trail horse. Not at all fancy but will neck rein around at a walk. According to owners he can be a little buddy sour but is not dangerous. Primarily ridden by a 15 year old with no formal riding education. Has a cloudy spot in his right eye. Only two owners in his entire life. Barefoot.

It’s been rainy so no video yet but we will have some next week. He is priced to sell!

*REDUCED* must sell asap

Y’all don’t want to miss out on this loud colored 4 year old Appaloosa gelding.

Van Gogh stands 14.1 hands and is spotted up as much as you could hope one would be. He has a fantastic mane and tail as well! He is small enough to hardship into POA and he can be hard shipped into the Appaloosa registry.

Van Gogh is halter broke. He leads, loads, ties and backs out of a trailer. He round pens and lunge lines. Picks up his feet and is well behaved for the farrier. Van has been hauled around with us and stands at the trailer for hours on end while we are working or trail riding other horses. He has been started on hobble training as well.

Due to personal reasons with his owners, Van has not yet been started under saddle, but all the prep and ground work is there and he is ready.

SOLD

Not often do I have a prime aged tried and true SOLID ranch gelding. Pepto Olena Doc, aka Toledo, is a 10 year old 15.1 hand AQHA gelding raised and worked as a true ranch gelding in Montana. This fancy broke gelding knows a hard days work. He has a legitimate fence checking long trot and will go all day long. He can gather and check cattle in acres and acres of pasture. He is comfortable pushing and penning pairs in tight spaces. He is handy enough to cut and sort out cows for doctoring and branding. If you're looking to get out on the ranch and work, Toledo is the real deal. Toledo will ride on a long and loose rein at all gaits and will not run off on you. Toledo does rope and is started on the head side. At this time, Toledo is best suited to an intermediate or above rider to rope on.

For those who enjoy a more laid-back lifestyle, Toledo doesn't mind that either. He will haul out and be your trail buddy, your ranch riding competitor, or your western dressage partner any day. He has excellent shoulder, barrel, and hip maneuvers and is truly a "fancy" broke gelding that is ready to take into the arena and hit the show ring and show off. His long trot will put most ranch riders to shame and his body control will far exceed the average amateur western dressage rider's horse.

If you're an English rider, don't pass over Toledo just yet! He has been owned the past couple of years by a family that has played around in the western events but also rides English! He will tack up in hunter or dressage tack, accept contact, and dabble over low jumps and play in the low-level dressage arena. Toledo is a jack of all trades, master ranch horse, and happy to go wherever you place him.

Toledo is easy to catch in turnout, lives well with other geldings and does not pick fights, gets along great living in a stall and he does not have any vices. Living in a stall, Toledo does prefer to be in work (even if you just lunge him or do some liberty work) 2-3 times a week, but he does not offer to do anything naughty or aggressive.

Duke is a 2009 APHA and PtHA registered gelding that stands 17 hands. He has a show record with accolades a mile long and would be an absolute asset and joy to anyone's program.

Duke has APHA world and reserve world titles in Open English Pleasure HN Seat HN Type, Open English Pleasure HN Seat 5 and under, AM SR HUS, Driving, and Novice AM Equitation. He has been shown at the rated and local level in Hunter/Jumpers, Dressage, Ranch, and Working Equitation. For a full list of show record and accomplishments, please don't hesitate to reach out, as we will gladly share everything that this cool gelding has done.

If you are an English rider or a jumper, don't pass over Duke because all I have are western photos. I forgot my camera on English day, but if you watch his video, you will see he is quite accomplished as an English HUS horse and as a hunter/jumper. Duke also drives! For those of you that either are stepping down from riding and want to double up in driving, or just have always dreamed of being able to drive a cart, Duke can do that for you too! He has the size and the movement, that with a little tune-up, he would be bringing home reserve and world championships in the show ring again!

Duke's accomplishments aren't reserved only for the arena and the show world. This cool gelding will trail ride and takes to new places like an old pro. He doesn't require any prep, he's the epitome of a confidence booster (you just have to get over his size) and the definition of a gentle giant; remember he's won championships with 5 and under riders! Duke will go in water, pull a log, carry around an inflatable ball, tolerate dogs running around his feet, and cross logs and ditches. He will trail ride with others, in front or in back, and he'll even trail ride out alone.

Duke is a really neat gelding that we have enjoyed having in our barn and can't wait to help him find his new placement. Current owner have had him for 5 years and are only selling due to a change of direction.

For your convenience, Duke has been pre-vetted with front feet and hock x-rays on file. Shoes are recommended due to a thin sole. No other maintenance at this time. Additional vetting is always welcome.

Betty is a 10-year-old grade 14.1 hand mare. She is safe for most levels of rider, and is game to try anything you put her to. We think she’d be a phenomenal playday type step up. Betty has had one foal and is a fantastic mother. She is sweet to be around; great ground manners and easy to ride. She is quick to greet you from turnout and always has her head hanging out of her gate for attention.

Betty hauls out to new arenas and trail facilities with zero issues. She is not spooky and will be bold and confident about everything around her. On one of our trail rides, there are "pet" pigs that come to visit and Betty was quite intrigued by these pigs.

Betty is barefoot and sound. She has big, solid, black feet. She is good for the farrier, ties great, stands all day long, loads and unloads out of the trailer. You name it, Betty does it with a good attitude. She is not mareish and she is fun to have around.

Y’all. Check out this 14 year old pony mule! He rides! Super in your pocket and friendly. Approximately 12 hands and stout made. I can stick him for anyone that need an *exact* height.

Gus (named affectionately from Gus Gus on Cinderella) is a barn favorite. He greets us every morning and talks at feeding time. He is sweet and cuddly and absolutely adores people. He is safe for a little to lead around and handle and he has a fairly decent riding handle to him. Gus will pony so you can put your smallest kid on him and pony along from your horse. He’ll also ride independently! Though, with a tiny tot, he may casually walk his way to a nice grassy spot or hay pile and just hang out.

Gus trail rides, arena rides, goes over bridges and through water and he crosses little jump rails. This is the nearest little mule I’ve ever had my hands on.

SOLD

Scout is a 13 year old grade gelding that stands 14.2 hands. He is the definition of a solid and true ranch type gelding. This guy goes out in the pasture and tracks cattle and pushes them into pens all day long, he keeps pace and tracks up when needed, swings a rope, and he never once gets flustered, even when bulls as big as him turn and face him!

Scout is the perfect size with the gentleness for an older man that still wants to move his cattle on horseback or for a kid stepping up from a pony to help dad get the fences checked.

Scout is sensible in an arena and could also make a decent lesson, goat tying, or playday horse. He is easy to be around and easy to ride with no vices.

Wildblue Saeed is a 2022 registered straight Egyptian Arabian c**t. 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.

I’ve got the prettiest black and white overo gelding for you!

Cosmo is a grade 12 year old gelding that stands 14 hands. He is incredibly sweet and in your pocket. Cosmo is safe for anyone to handle. He is tiny tot friendly even on the ground. Great about his feet, easy to halter, respectful to lead, and will stand tied all day long.

Cosmo is gentle and easy to ride. He has been used extensively in lead line and a walk/trot program. Cosmo did not get cantered much prior to coming to our program, but he has his correct leads and is much more woah than go. A kid or beginner will have to put some effort behind getting him to canter, but you know he’ll never run off on you!

This sweet gelding has been on many trail rides and is an easy type down the trail. He is more comfortable riding with another horse, but he will ride alone and is not spooky or reactive.

Don’t miss out on adding the coolest and gentlest black and white gelding to your pasture!
