OFW Kingmin 2012 AHA Gelding OFW Magic Wan x Kinsasha 15hh Meet King, an attractive and correct Arabian gelding. King has a lot to offer his rider, with his smooth way of going and varied background that includes a multitude of clinics, a reining foundation, haul out time, and lots of trail miles. This coppery chestnut would be a great option as a 4-H or local show horse for a youth or adult to polish off. He has the foundation for it and with his attractive profile and smooth way of going, he would be a pleasure in the ring. King also has lots of trail experience as well in different settings and terrain. He prefers to go out alone or with smaller groups of riders. He may be a fun option as an endurance horse for a rider comfortable enough to show him how to go forward and dissipate his energy in larger groups. His current rider has mostly wanted him to walk with the group and it just wasn't the right match in a larger setting. King is very sound with clean legs and bare feet. He is current on healthcare and is checked yearly by the veterinarian. This will likely be one of the most sound geldings you will find on the market! No maintenance, strong and sturdy! He's been very well cared for. King is currently in for a tune up and getting legged up for sale. He's mostly done w/j with his owner and is working on lengthening and shortening strides in the ring, being more square in his body, and dialing in some transition work. This is going to be a great gelding to make someone very happy! Don't miss out! High four figures Cool, CA

Sharpie 2014 grade gelding 15.2hh Meet tall, dark, and handsome - a.k.a. Sharpie! Sharpie is a smooth mover oozing with presence and ready to ride. Sharpie would be appropriate for a trail or arena horse for a rider that has some background and feel to the aids. He has been DNA'ed and the results came back as Quarter Horse with Mangalara Marchador, which may be best associated with something like an Andalusian. He is not gaited 😉 He is kind minded and mature, but when he gets frisky can feel like he wants to passage. Currently, Sharpie is working in a program, getting legged up for his new home. He is working on strength building over his back and connecting into the hand. He is working in the arena, through obstacles, and out on the trail. He is a very smooth mover with three excellent gaits. He has energy and feels grounded at the same time, with a great work ethic. He loves to please. Sharpie was picked up a year ago by a rider in a hunter jumper barn. Upon purchase he has predominately been used as a trail horse and was brought into training for ring work. When he was purchased by his current owner, he was shown doing lots of work on trail and working through sensory obstacles. His kind disposition allowed the teen girls to ride him around bareback and his owner to do some low level lessons over fences. He's lived in barn life with an indoor ring, cross ties, and commotion without issue. He did come up sore with jumping work and was determined not to be of ideal body type to continue jumping work and hence, is moving on to a home with no jumping. Sharpie has had exquisite care with his current owner and has all the records, including original PPE, x-rays, breed DNA test, and more. He does have some allergies and does best on a teff or meadow grass diet. He gets a fly sheet and booties when the flies come out. He did have some summer sores when his owner picked him up, which were treated and resolved. Sharpie has an old scar on his right front, likely from a p

**PLACED** Paloma NA Ever After NA x Powerful Girl RB 2013 AHA mare 15.1hh Serviceably sound, Arabian mare looking for a new home. Has packed kids for first lopes, been ridden, bareback, and a joy to ride on the trail. Super smooth gaits and very willing to work. She has a low-grade lameness on her right hind leg. I want to preserve this sweet girl and don’t think that keeping her going giving lessons is the best choice for her future. X-rays and ultrasound diagnostics are complete and are available for review. Dental done summer 2024, current on hoof trim, she’s good to handle by vet and farrier. Respectful on the ground, easy to put in a trailer. No vices. She’s just a really sweet girl! She would be a great option for light riding down the trail or something for the grandkids to play with. She’s been feeling left out with nobody to love her and deserves a special place! Rehoming 💰 applies. Cool, CA

✨ Sharpie ✨

Now that we have been in a regular program for a few weeks, we are getting stronger and more supple! I love the sweet demeanor on this lovely girl. She's really going to make somebody happy! 💕 Aria Solise 💕

Bella Hur

Bella Hur 2017 AHA mare 14.2hh Bella is teddy bear of a mare looking for a soft landing. She was brought into the training program, late 2024 to get back under saddle for a new owner. After the rigors of full time training, she was not staying sound. We are now looking for a home for her as a companion or light riding horse. Full vet notes are available. We have continued Bella with light regular work to make sure she has a purpose in life and isn't a "throw away." She is kind minded and slow legged, definitely a western type of mover. She is easy to handle on the ground and wants to be quiet under saddle. We have taken her for walks and mellow rides in the arena, around the property, and down the trail. She does need some work crossing water. She will happily ride out alone. If you need a buddy and love a cute, squishy Arabian face, ask about Bella. She would be a great candidate for bit-less riding, as a therapy program prospect, recip mare, or to introduce your grand-kids to horses when they come to visit... She still has lots of purpose and the right attitude for the job! PM is best, comments are not always checked. Cool, CA For adoption with first right.

I got a report today on a mare I started last year with her owner out in Idaho, so happy for them! Allie Cat is such a fun horse. Riding in the snow is a good workout. She is getting good experience riding with friends and different terrain and weather. She had a wonderful start with you and I am grateful for your expert training and work with her. I love how calm she is and thinks about things and wants to do what is asked. Love her so much and she is turning out to be my go to horse rather than my older girl Opal. I am planning on getting her to some endurance rides this year. So far she is handling the snow weather really well. I hope you have a great 2025. Sharilyn

How Cool to see Ebony Blue Gal a mare I sold years ago with her owner. He's asking me for another like her and I admit, she looks like she turned into a pretty special mare for him. Big shoes to fill! It makes me happy to see horses I matched with owners making memories like this 🥰

Archer Wikter (Friesian) x Aviva (Akhal-Teke) 2017 gelding Check out this exotic gelding! For those that want a smooth, elastic mover with a regal stance, here he is. For me, this guy screams dressage, but he would be well suited for any rider that's dreams are made of one big handsome man! Archer was raised out in the mountains in a herd of horses and brought in to be started under saddle in 2024. He has had plenty of groundwork done and has been ridden in the round pen and the arena, as well as started on trail. He is working on lengthening over his topline and stretching into the hand, as well as being square and supple on all four quarters of his body. He floats over the ground when he travels and is going to be a stunning riding partner as he continues to develop. He would be a lovely addition for an amateur with a trainer to bring along and show. Archer is a kind minded guy with a solid body. He is current on healthcare and dental with clean legs and no history of lameness. He does well in a stall or out with the herd, stands tied like a gentleman, and is easy to be around. He has all the right foundation that someone with a little skill or a trainer could create a great partner for years to come. He does come with registration application complete with signatures. He is approximately 15.3hh (will confirm) Low five figures Cool, CA

**PLACED** The Duke of Saulsbury 2010 BLM gelding The Duke! This is a solid built 15.1hh gelding ready to go do a job. He is a cadenced mover and is really a pleasure for the eye to see his combination of strength and elegance in movement. He is willing to move forward with three lovely gaits. He has the movement and presence to be noticed by the judges in the ring and the sturdy capacity to get packed out in the high country. Duke's human education began years ago when he was gathered from the Saulsbury HMA and sent out to a TIP training program. From there, he was sent out for 90 days of education under saddle. After that, he did a whole bunch of well... nothing. He hung out in pasture and got his hooves trimmed and hung out with his humans. They have come to the conclusion that if it hasn't happened in ten years, it might be better to look for a different situation for this big, handsome fellow. Here he is, ready for the next chapter. He's come into the barn to "knock the dust off" and get back into his work groove. While he is in the program, we will be assessing his strengths on the ground and under saddle. We are looking for someone with the resources to continue on with him and live their part of the American dream with their own BLM gelding. Duke is strong, sturdy and built to last. He's got clean legs and is barefoot. He's great to trim and easy to catch out in a field. He's got no vices and is very comfortable around people. Duke does get seasonal allergies and does best with a fly sheet and booties during the summer months. For the equestrian on a budget that sill wants the look of a big, handsome gelding with a good foundation of professional training, Duke is a great option, started back to work, and ready to carry on in his new home!

Ladybug

Ladybug 2018 grade mare For those that are interested in a horse that won't make you fight gravity too much (she's a stout 14hh) and want a smooth traveling, economical model, meet Ladybug. She's a billy goat on the trails and has the potential to make a lovely little mover for local showing. She's easy through terrain and water and doesn't care about her position in a group. She had been camping and taken on an intro endurance ride around the age of 4-5 with good remarks. She has improved since then with her strength and maturity and might be a fun option for competitive trail or low level endurance. Ladybug is a level mover and fabulously smooth. She wants to transition easily in the ring. She needs some work with being soft in her face and over her back to travel properly on a more consistent basis, but she has the starting point to understand it and is darling when she goes into frame. She can be a little lazy to the aids and is not overly responsive or sensitive (not terrible by any means, and some people may prefer something that feels more stable and not too responsive underneath them). She is easy to handle on the ground and is healthy and barefoot. She may benefit from shoes on rocky terrain. She gets a very minor fly allergy on her stomach in the summer, just a little more chapped than some other horses where the flies sit. No vices, easy to turn out with other horses or stall. Easy to catch, tie and trailer. She can be a little on the "mare-ish" side, she doesn't love horses creeping into her space on trail and will give them the stink face. She can make a stinky face when saddling as well. We just try to reason with her and carry on. She would prefer a rider that is assertive. She doesn't love someone telling her what to do if their body doesn't reflect that they really believe it should be done. I could see Ladybug being a great trail horse for someone, 4-H horse, a horse that just goes into a program for someone to learn with that can't afford somethin
