Corinne and Garnet were 4th in the $500 Puddle Jumper Derby with a double clear and smooth jump off with all the inside turns!

Brooke and Tippy came in 2nd in the $500 .80 Jumper Derby with a clear and fast jump off where they held the lead until the very end!

Thank you to Harmon Classics for a fun show!

It was a great week of showing at Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort for the MSH crew!

Feliks Ptak and Scarlett came home with Reserve Champion in the .90’s Non-Pro division with nothing but clear rounds!

Brooke Barnes showed her new mare, Tippy, and had some great trips in the .80’s and a double clear round in .90’s for a 4th place finish out of a large class!

Igloo had some great trips in the .90’s working on consistency in preparation for a move up! She is certainly getting a feel for this whole horse show thing!

It was a fantastic two weeks of showing at the Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort Welcome Series!

Feliks Ptak and Jus de Jenius came home with Reserve Champion in the .90’s Non-Pro division during Week 2 and had some amazing clear and fast rounds in a competitive field Week 3 with great placings.

MSH Azalea stepped up to the .90’s with some wonderful clear rounds in the open divisions. The future is looking bright for her!

It has been a busy winter finding new horses for students and getting ready to start showing again this spring!

Feliks Ptak has a new lovely Dutch Warmblood mare, Jus de Jenuis aka Scarlett, and the pair has proven to be the perfect match!

Loye Davies has an incredible new lease horse, Chosen aka Danny, who is a seasoned hunter and she is thriving with him!

Brooke Barnes has an amazing new pocket rocket warmblood mare, Tippy, who she can go have fun in the jumper ring with!

Really excited for all of these new pairs and can’t wait to see what they each accomplish this year.

A little bit of a late post! We had a wonderful time showing at Stable View for the Spring hunter/jumper show! What a beautiful venue and great atmosphere for horses and riders.

Feliks Ptak and Regal Asken had some wonderful trips in the .85-.90 jumpers and placed in almost every class out of large classes!

Loye Davies and her new horse Fabulously worked through some challenges and came out with a 5th out of 20+ riders in her division! Fabulously also placed 3rd in his over fences classes and the hack on Friday with Amber McClure.

Finn and Amber had some productive trips together in the .85-.90’s and saw great improvement every day in the way Finn handled himself at his first big show!

Super AA packer available in Tryon, NC!
“Checkmate” aka Check, is 14yo, 16.2h, TB gelding.

He is a true packer to the fences and just does his job! No prep required at shows.
Has an auto flying change and is a nice enough mover to get a piece of the hack.
Can easily cross over into the jumper ring and is happy to hack out in a field and pop over logs for a fun ride!
Safe and easy horse that has a lot to offer and teach his next rider.
Easy to handle on the ground. Trailers great, and good for the vet and farrier.
UTD on everything and ready for his new home.

Needs loving forever home by the end of the month!

Super cute, 8yo turning 9, 15.3h, TB mare. Located in Tryon, NC.
“Sugar” has been competed through beginner novice eventing down in Ocala with a 75yo woman. She was schooling novice but is currently putting on weight and muscle with me.
So no, I don’t have a ton of video of her jumping. She has an easy way of going and could continue her eventing career or cross over in the hunter/jumper world, or foxhunting. Easy flying change and 3 simple gaits. Absolutely no naughty behavior.
UTD on everything, sound in front shoes with good feet.
Super simple horse, easy to handle on the ground, a kid could ride her or your grandma.
No she is not spooky. Yes she is brave to fences.
Yes she is good with other horses. Yes she makes mare faces sometimes. Does she have potential for the 1.10? I have no idea.
She needs a home and a forever person that can love on her and bring her to her fullest potential.
Please no tire kickers. Serious inquires only.
This is a nice mare that will make someone very happy.
Asking 10,🥕🥕🥕 negotiable because she is still getting fit and isn’t currently jumping a ton.

Price will increase as I continue to put muscle on and get her going in top form again.

Excited to welcome Corinne and her horse, Windsor, to the barn family ♥️

After a sale falling through, this lovely mare is available! Had a PPE done, passed easily, had clean stifle and hock x rays. Unfortunately the buyer won’t share them with me, but if you’re interested in doing a PPE, just know she will pass.
CC is an upper level eventing or jumper prospect!
Please no tire kickers, serious inquiries only and read the entire ad.

Callinghercollins aka “CC” is a 5yo,16.1h stocky built, OTTB mare.

CC is about as sweet as they come with no “mareish” qualities. Easy to handle on the ground, good for farrier, vet, etc. Loads and trailers great. Definitely no vices whatsoever. She has great feet after some TLC and is an easy keeper. She literally gets fat off air unlike most TB’s 😅
She will hack out nicely and is happy to lead the whole way or stay in the back.

CC has some serious upper level potential, but she is NOT for a beginner or intermediate rider. She needs a relaxed and educated ride to help her reach her full potential. She can be quirky and test to see what she can get away with and needs an experienced rider.

She has good flat work with a flying change and has jumping experience. She has been off property and does handle it well. Oddly enough, her favorite thing to do is hack out in a field, it’s honestly the most relaxed I’ve ever felt her.

She is going to take time and patience with the right person who wants to have a forever partner. She is a mare that wants to bond with her owner, and once she does, she will trust you endlessly. She will be the type that tries her heart out for you!

I truly wish I had the time to keep putting into her, but I just don’t at the moment.

Asking high 4’s (8,🥕🥕🥕) negotiable for a quick sale so I can free up a stall for my gelding coming back from lease. Price will increase with more training.

Located in Tryon, NC.
Video available upon request.

Available in Tryon, NC!
Sunny is a just turning 6yo, OTTB gelding(raced 1x…it was very slow 😅) standing at 17.1h.
He is a currently showing 2’6- 2’9 with the scope to do more. He has quickly turned into quite the packer and took a junior around her first rated show.
He is an absolute gem undersaddle and offers no naughty behavior. Hacks out great on trail rides and will jump anything you put in front of him. He is super honest and brave to fences. Has a lead change as well, although I wouldn’t say it’s auto except in the show ring he just does them 🤷🏼‍♀️.
Really good for the farrier, vet, etc. and trailers extremely well.
Could be easily continued to be brought along by a well riding junior or amateur with a trainer to help reach his full potential.
He could truly go any direction as he has very solid flatwork and is happy to play over the x country jumps as well.
UTD on everything and shoes all around (better than average tb feet after some TLC!)
Plenty of video available.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!
