SAGE
1 year old Georgian Grande Cross Filly
Gray
Sage is already a beautiful filly with good conformation. She is sweet and easy to work with;
she ties, leads and crosses water with ease. Her sire is Whitt’s Whippoorwill, a dapple gray
Georgian Grande, the pride of Whittling Ridge Farms. His offspring are proving to be very
trainable, forward thinking with good attitudes. They are making a name for themselves in
dressage, eventing, and fox hunting. The dam, Mable, is a Percheron/Morgan cross. She is
quiet-natured; a good, honest mare. So, Sage is ½ Percheron, ¼ Saddle Bred and ¼ Morgan.
She should make a 16 hand mare.

want to go – even if it’s simply trail riding on a mare that will become your best friend!

Captain
6YO
10hh
Bay Roan Gelding

Talk about an eye-catching, fun, and athletic pony, here he is. Captain is a pony who is well broke to ride and drive. Amish bred and raised, here is a pony that can teach a beginner to ride then be willing to step up as the kid’s skills advance. He is a pony that accommodates his rider’s skills and is willing to move on out with little encouragement. Captain has such a good mouth, it should be qualified as power steering. He has a very sensitive mouth and doesn’t need a heavy hand to steer, but is also very forgiving to beginner riders. He would make a fun show pony and is athletic enough to do whatever a kid wants: run the barrels, jump, ride trails, or just doll around in the backyard. Most beginner ponies are kick-along, but Captain has all the “go” you want with all the “whoa” you need.

Sylvester is a 4 year old, grey, Welsh gelding, standing 13 hands, 0.25".
Sylvester's sire is a beautiful pony, Independence, standing at Whittling Ridge Farm, Glade Spring, VA. Independence is by the well-proven stallion, Farnley Corker. Virginia born and bred, Sylvester has learned manners and patience with an Ohio Amish family for the last two years. He has been
handled extensively by young children who can easily catch him, tack up or harness him, and go off on errands. He is quiet and stands tied at the
hitching rail; he has been on trail rides, so he "gets along well with others", but is not herd-bound. It's not always easy to find a pony with the blood,
conformation and basic training, all in one package! Sylvester has the willingness and talent to go down many paths - a kids' pony, Granny's
driving pony, or with some polishing, a show pony! He is well broken under saddle and in the cart, and is now in a perfect place to go on!

3YO, 15.3HH Georgian Grande Gelding

Tattie is a well started young gelding. He is a brave and willing to do what ever you ask with no hesitation.
He is a Pleasure to be around, great ground manners, not pushy. He came back from an Amish trainer that specialized in natural horsemanship. After arriving back in Virginia he was turned out for over 3 months. He was so easy to get along with, I was able to just jump on and ride off in a halter, no ground games, no lunging, no warm up.
Tattie has been trail ridden alone and in groups. He is not a reactive or spookie. He was raised on a farm with other horses, including cattle, sheep, cats and dogs. He is a handsome fellow that is smart, kind and easy to get along with.
A 3yo that will do things that a lot of older horses wont. We feel that a person with horse experience can easily finish him.
First time in the river with just a halter and no horse to follow in, he was easily encouraged in. On his first day back to work, he was ridden down the road with just a halter.
Look at the confirmation, Handsome he is! The breeding on Tattie is no accident. Both parents are good natured and hard workers. He is a great prospect, possibilities are endless. Dressage, Fox Hunting, Eventing, Trails, you name it! We expect Tattie to mature to a 16HH Horse.
We have raised the breed for over 35 years. The breed is named Georgian Grande!
