Proudly offered for S, Country Grammar “Nelly” is a 12 year old, 16.2h Thoroughbred mare. She has extensive miles all around the Carolina’s in the 2’6” and 3’ hunters and equitation. She is brave to the jumps, has an auto lead change, and is quiet without being lazy. Nelly is very handy and loves the equitation and derbies, she has even done a few jumper classes before as well. She has brought her owner from moving off a medium pony to the 3’ in just a year and a half. She can be a little quirky so she’s not for a very timid rider, but she would do the 2’ and up for a more confident kid. Reasonably priced in the low-mid 5’s, please pm for info and videos.

I’m so bad about posting updates but we have been so busy showing! Last weekend Isla, Abi, Jocelyn, Archer, and Lauren took on Sedgefield at the Park and all came home with lots of ribbons! Isla and Garbanzo finished 3rd in the mini derby and had great ribbons in a very competitive short stirrup division. Abi and her new baby horse How You Doin showed in the long stirrup at his very first show and finished with several ribbons including a blue in the eq flat. Archer and Rovaniemi also showed in the long stirrup and reserve champions on Saturday. Jocelyn and Invisible Ink were weekend champions in walk trot poles. Lauren and Citadel had some good, consistent rounds in the special hunters at his first show and won a class on Sunday!

This weekend we were in Aiken for a PSJ show with Jorja, Beth, Melissa, Lilly, Mabry, and Jocelyn. Jorja and Scho Thyme were champions in the pre childrens eq Sunday and won the over fences both days. They were also reserve champion in the pre childrens hunters both days and Jorja won the 2’6” mini medal on Saturday. Beth and Karandash were champions in the low schooling jumpers in their first time moving up to the .90 together. Melissa and Fantastique had some great, consistent rounds and ended up reserve champion in a big hopeful jumper division. Lilly and Country Grammar were reserve champions in the age group eq on Saturday and also in the junior hunters on Sunday. Lilly also won the PSJ junior medal on Sunday with a lovely round. Mabry and her new horse Maverick showed in the limit hunters and age group eq flat and won the flat Sunday and had some great rounds and ribbons both days. Jocelyn and Invisible Ink were sadly all alone in the walk trot on Saturday but had some competition Sunday and ended up being champion!

Congratulations everyone!

We had a great time at PSJ Oktoberfest this past weekend! We had 2 riders move up to a new division and 2 horses we had never taken to a show before which made for an exciting weekend! Some highlights include:
Lilly and Country Grammar made their first show appearance since February and they moved up to the 3’ for the first time and had several blue ribbons.
Mabry and Prime Time Emmy moved up to the 2’9” for the first time and despite a learning moment they had some nice rounds and good ribbons.
Jessica and Harington made their debut together in the pre adult hunters and had some nice consistent rounds and ribbons in a competitive group! This was his first time in the hunter ring instead of the jumpers.
Jorja and Quicksilbur were champions in long stirrup on Saturday and won the 2’ mini medal on Sunday.
Brielle and Toss and Turn finally got to make their show debut and although Ty was nervous on Saturday, on Sunday he settled and they won the long stirrup eq over fences and were reserve champion!
Abi and Scho Thyme were second in the Ovation Derby on Sunday and were reserve champions both days in the pre childrens!
Jocelyn and Invisible Ink competed in walk trot both days and got ribbons in a big, competitive class of 10 mostly older riders! Jocelyn worked hard and did a great job listening to mom training her 😜
Beth and Fantastique were consistent and fast all weekend to win 2 hopeful jumper classes and come home with champion!
Ella and Archibald FF won every jumper class they were in over the weekend and Ella got to move up and try a 1.0m class and won with a smooth, quick round!

Thank you so much to the amazing parents for providing us all with our spooky decorations, plenty of snacks, and of course all the moral support. We couldn’t do it without you!

SOLD!!! Congratulations to One Above Farm on the purchase of Luna!

Offered for sale as her owner is off to college, Among the Stars “Luna” is a 9 year old, 15.3h appendix mare. Luna is the sweetest mare and is great to load, clip, etc. She has light show miles in the hunters through the 2’9” and is not a packer yet so she is not best for a beginner rider. She has a great jump and is a cute mover and as a bonus she is happy to hack out and trail ride too. She would be great for a good riding kid coming off a pony who has a limited budget. She is priced to sell in the low 5’s, located near Charlotte NC.

He is not spooky, he’s comfortable to ride (definitely a kick ride!) and has a good lead change… he gets a piece of the hack too. He is extremely easy to clip and load and he requires zero prep at the shows. He has very little maintenance and is a very easy keeper. Lease in the 4 figures, we are located near Charlotte NC.
