🌟Star 🌟
Triple M's Rising Star
Registered with CBUSA
DOB: 7/19/2018
Height: 17.1-2
Dark bay Overo paint
a stunning, very elegant, 6yo registered Clydesdale mare
✅️Rides great!
✅Drives great!
✅️Easy to catch, comes to us!
️✅️Loads awesome!
✅Hauls super quiet
️✅Ties quiet
️✅️Confident trail horse
✅️Confident buggy horse
✅️Great for the farrier, no stalks needed
✅️Full tail, NOT docked
❌️No CPL
Star is great on trails. She is a VERY confident lead horse or under harness! Star will lead or follow and will split from a group out on trails as we often ask her to. Will go anywhere we point her, even up a mountain!
Star is also VERY traffic safe! Highway traffic safe! 65-70 MPH traffic doesn't bother her in anyway, even semi trucks and trailers can pass her at high speed and she doesn't care.
She's also quite athletic for a Clydesdale and would be a great jumping prospect and can easily do more athletic hobbies such as arena events or possibly Dressage. She definitely has the flare and flash. Would be an amazing English prospect!
Star is smart and learns quick and is willing to try new things, likes to explore and is a quick study for new things asked of her! She truly is a rising 🌟 Star!
Extremely gentle on the ground, kids can do anything around her, she loves kids grooming her, she's careful and sweet with children! We've given some lessons with her riding and driving, could possibly be a great fit for a therapy program since she doesn't care what you do around her or on her back. However, when you kiss or kick, she's responsive and will walk, trot & lope without hesitation, when asked!
Current on vaccines, hoof care, regular de-worming regiment, current coggins, and regular hoof care. Good for the farrier, no stalks needed.
Star also: Loads great, hauls quiet, clips, ties (reg. Or in cross ties), is free hand hot shod and trimmed (we don't put her in shoeing stalks).
Is regularly around cattle, deer, sheep, chickens and goats.
Loves attention, affection and easy to catch, even on large acerage! She's a very sweet girl.
Star is great in a herd setting/socialized, currently turned out with others. Does great. Has never given any trouble.
Location: Ava, mo. Can help with transport!
30 day soundness guarantee!

A coming 4yo, 14.1-2 hand, but growing!
Betsy is Paint/halflinger cross that rides and drives! She's a great size! Betsy may be on the smaller side but she carries heavier riders rather well. She's well balanced and sure footed.
Super sweet & smart! She loves people & attention! Great in a turn out/ social setting, easy to catch as she comes to us when called.
No buck! Would be a great lesson/ school horse. Great confidence builder.
What a cool little horse this is! Betsy has a great trot and lovely collected lope! She's extremely great on trails and traffic safe.
She's so cool! She's got that in your pocket/puppy dog temperament. Betsy is always curious and wanting love/affection and attention.
Rides out alone, will lead or follow. Just SUPER fun to ride and has a great handle/ soft in the bridle, knows her one rein stop/ flex really well. She learns super fast, she's one sharp cookie. Not too mention how pretty she is with her blonde locks and beatiful coat pattern/ color!
Betsy would be a great ladies horse, Gymkhana, 4-H, or just an all around family horse.
A good & special home a MUST!
Harness and buggy available for her, fitted to her but sold separately.
Betsy also: ties, loads, hauls, bathes, clips and is great for the farrier!

Sweet, loves attention and affection. Easy to catch in a turn out/ social setting, generally comes to us. Is good in a herd setting, not mean, just nice and easy to get along with.
Let him sit for a while and will not be cold back, doesn't require ground work.
Current height 15.3-16 hands.
Super traffic safe, confident trail & confident buggy horse, will lead or follow, stands great to harness, hooks in super quiet & easy, drives absolutely awesome! Light in the mouth/ knows his one rein stop/ flex, has a great verbal whoa! And has recently learned a hands free back!
Would be a great Dressage horse or English prospect! He has the legs and conformation for jumping also!
Only blemish he has is a scar on his left front leg, but it's all superficial and causes him no lameness or issues! Guaranteed 100% sound!
Also: Loads great, hauls quiet, ties, bathes and good with his feet.

This dappled, tall, blonde, handsome dude, Rides and drives awesome. Super smooth at a trot and lope, SUPER SMOOTH! You won't find a smother ride unless you get a gaited horse!
He's got a great walk to canter departure. Easy to get into a nice collected lope!
Rex will lead or follow on trails. Rides out alone well. As we have done many rides & drives alone. Not buddy or barn sour, will split from other horses out on trails.
We have been using Rex to give riding and driving lessons, a 9yo girl rides & drives him. Rex has been a great babysitter for my daughter. The little girl in the pictures on Rex does all - walk, trot and lopes him all over the place. Rex may be a big boy but he gives confidence and makes that little girl feel like a real cowgirl! Rex is Kid tested and mother approved!
Rex has great ground manners, lunges on a line great or in the round pen.
Drives double or single, very easy to hook in by yourself, stands very quiet to hook or harness. Rex is very enjoyable to drive.
Rex is very traffic safe as we live right next to hwy 5 in Ava, mo. And we do alot of riding and driving next to the hwy.
Rex is very accustomed to being around cattle, goats and sheep.
Good for the farrier (gets hot shod, free hand) we do not shoe our horses in stalks, great on trails, ties/ cross ties, loads great (my child loads him in the trailer), hauls quiet, bathes, & clips. Will go through water!
