Kit found her wonderful new home in Wisconsin! I absolutely love selling horses when I get to meet such incredible people. Julie and AJ are the cutest couple I have had the pleasure meeting. We talked and laughed and had similar views on life and what a great time in the short amount of time we had together. Julie and Kit are going to make a fabulous team they worked so well together and I am super excited for their adventures together. Congratulations Julie!

Aikanes Burning In Flames is a beautiful dark liver Chestnut Morgan mare wearing 3 white socks that will be sure to get you noticed in the show pen!

Kit is a lovely 2019 model standing at a true 15'2H. Kit has a great foundation to be a wonderful dressage horse. Her gaits are easy to ride, with a natural push with soft strides and nice shoulder movement.
Her canter is a nice rolling canter and takes her leads easily.

Kit has lovely leg yields and listens to her rider's legs and seat well. She has a great whoa and is super soft in the bridle.

Kit is in training until she finds her new partner, and while in training, she is furthering her education. Kit is a sensitive and sensible mare. She takes her work seriously and will thrive with a rider who is quiet yet is a leader. Kit is a kind and gentle mare with a huge heart of gold.

Kit is a mini me of her sire WVS Flame Burner who has been extremely successful in Western Dressage and Traditional English Dressage winning titles and Championships.
Kit is ready to be your next champion! Feel free to message me and chat about Miss Kit to make her your own special Christmas present!

I am taking applications for leasing a 15'2H 15 year old Thoroughbred mare. The lease can be partial or full.

This is a onsite lease at a drama free barn. The barn has an indoor arena and outdoor arena.

Ember was shown at Novice Level Eventing and 1st level dressage but has been a trail horse for the past 4 years. Ember needs a well educated rider due to her education and she is quick to respond to your aids.

I am looking for a rider who is an intermediate rider and is looking for a barn family to join and have fun with horses. You do not need to show but if you want to show that is welcome as well.

The lease location is in Hastings Michigan. I will look forward to meeting in person and I will introduce you to Ember and have you have a test ride to make sure you are a good fit.

Partial Lease $275 a month
Full Lease $450 a Month

Pictures are of Ember and myself 8ish years ago!

Coming soon for your consideration!

Hayes is a chunky AQHA gelding standing 15H. He is at the perfect age turning 11 years old next spring. Hayes was purchased by a client 3/4 years ago and has done a little bit of everything on him. His owner has participated in Working Equitation clinics, Western Dressage, Extreme Mountain Trail Obstacles, and has been working hard on her English Dressage. Hayes stands super quiet in the trailers and loads and unloads from the trailer with no hassle, he stands in the barn, he is great for the farrier and vet. He can be pastured with mares or geldings.

Hayes has not been shown yet but don't let that turn you away he has been hauled for lessons regularly and has lovely gaits to ride. He takes both leads, follows your seat well, has a good whoa, neck reins, moves off your legs, side passes, pivots, works gates, and is ready for your ranch pattern, English or Western Dressage.

Hayes is a super neat horse, his owner is heading into a new direction with her Morgan mare so Hayes is looking for a new partnership. He is bred well and built to last. He has a lot of life left in him and requires no maintenance.

It was a fantastic day hanging out with the barn family! 24 horses and 12 of those are morgans! And 4 of those are young morgans having their first outing! All had a great time, great prizes and lots of laughs! It was the first annual ride rally for my barn family. I am blessed to be able to have such a wonderful group of riders and horses.

Rowdy Whizzin Wyatt, what a fun and catchy name that people will remember he is the horse to beat!

Wyatt is a 4 year old Registered AQHA gelding standing 15'1H. Wyatt has the desire to give big stops as his reining pedigree suggests he should. Along with the desire to stop, Wyatt has the mind to be bold and fearless. Wyatt has been ridden extensively on trails where he has no issues leading on the trails or following the group. Wyatt has a tender and sensitive heart and is always willing to make his rider happy.

Not only does Wyatt trail ride like a dream, but he is super fun in the arena. Wyatt has taken to bridleless riding very well. He just started jumping courses bridleless and does all his gaits and maneuvers bridleless. Wyatt even trail rides bridleless. This horse is broke! He is sensitive to seat and legs and will happily be guided through your body position. Wyatt has no problem going over or through any obstacle you approach from rolling bridges, teeter totter, water, and many more.

Wyatt also participated on a mock Fox Hunt where he soared over all the jumps and would make an extremely fun Eventing horse.

Wyatt can go in any direction. He is young, sound and ready for you to make your dreams comes true.

Take Wyatt and compete in Ranch, Roping, Reining, Jumping, Eventing, Fox Hunting, or Trails. The sky is the limit with the horse.

Wyatt is also good-natured for a lesson horse. He has a lot to teach any rider. Come check him out in Hastings Michigan

Zips Chocolate Chip was AQHA's all time leading Western sire during his time.

Zips Chocolate Chip was introduced into the Hall of Fame in 2017. Chip even became a model for a Breyer horse, serving as an ambassador for the American Quarter Horse.

Now more about Twig! Twig has had an excellent start under saddle. He is soft in the bridle, soft in his ribcage. He is friendly and loves attention but is not mouthy and has great ground manners. Twig can be saddled and rode off with no lunging. He hauls great to new environments and can show off the trailer or off a stall.
Twig takes both his leads, and he will stretch in stride with a push from your seat or low right back down with your seat. He pivots, and he side passes. He is starting to stay between the rein for one hand riding and has a nice backup.

Twig is also fun to ride on the trails. Throw your reins on his neck and ride. He will lead or follow. He goes over bridges and through water.

Finally, Twig also will work the flag. He would make a phenomenal all-around horse and is focused when on the flag for making a nice ranch horse.

Twig is ready for you to create a bond with him and show him, trail ride and do anything and everything in between. Twig is an outstanding horse and you will have a great horse to make your own.
