Introducing our 2024 Maiden Contender
HIT LIST, known around the barn as “Mikey” sired by WGC producer Daddy’s Cash out of a Jose Jose mare. Bred by Kimberly Walden & raised by Bo Robbins, this beautiful stallion caught the attention of Bruce & Lee Sinden who couldn’t resist his potential. Missing an eye from an accident as a yearling doesn’t slow him down! He shows amazing talent and work ethic every ride. His sweet and calm disposition quickly made him a barn favorite. Everyone’s excited to see his progression and his show ring debut with Alex Sinden in split B of the Maiden.

Offered for on site lease ONLY -
Do you have a beginner rider who wants to start showing?! Well I have the perfect horse for you.

All or Nothing, lovingly known as “Al” is a 10 yr old gelding. This beautiful big goofball is one of the sweetest horses you’ll meet. He’s great for a beginner rider just wanting to start showing. Would be a good horse for someone wanting to get into showmanship/model as well as riding. He’s a great all around horse. He’s also an International Champion. Al shows in the All Day Pleasure division.

⭐️Al can be tried out in Hickory, NC

⭐️For more info on Al and our lease packages please message or call/text us at (828)493-5460

03/03/2024

We want to introduce our 2024 Premiere contender Mayhem’s Moneymaker SS , sire WGC I’m Mayhem and dam Ritz’s Hot Chocolate. This fine-looking young man is known as Paco around the barn. Dean & Tasha purchased him as a yearling after he caught their eye at Sugar Creek Farms during Celebration 2022. This gorgeous colt’s playful personality has been nothing short of entertaining, but they should have known by that gleaming red coat and the mischievous look in his eye he also would come with a lot of self-confidence and a touch of sass. Paco was originally sent to Golden Oaks to begin his career, however Paco had other ideas, telling us he was not quite ready to go full steam ahead into his show career. Dean & Tasha decided the best course of action was to regroup and bring him home for Tasha to put a slow but thorough foundation on him and then send him back for the finishing touches on his training. This has proven to be the best formula for this fella. They are all different and it’s always best to lean in and listen to what your horse is saying. They will always tell you what they need and works best for them! We are all very excited for this boy to hit the show ring for the first time at the Pennyroyal. Watch for “Paco” with Alex in split B on Thursday night!
