SOLD!! Congratulations to his new owners!!

Chaz is a 9yo 15.1h grade gelding. He is believed to be a QH/TWH cross and I can see that in his trot. Chaz is a great all around horse. He rides english, western and also jumps. He is very brave and loves to trail ride. He will go over, under, and through anything. He is sensible as well as sure footed on the trails. He is available for S in the mid fours to a great home only. Owner would also consider a L while she finishes her masters program which has left her with no time to ride. He is located in Hiram, Maine.

Will be in WELLINGTON available for trials April 12-15 or 16 then goes back to Ocala.

Tuck Everlasting “Tucker” is a 2015 16.2h Oldenburg gelding by Ragtime. Shown up and down the East Coast in the hunters and derbies. He has rated miles in the 2’6” and local miles in the 2’9”-3’ keeping him eligible for the greens. This horse is a solid straight forward ride with auto changes and movement which always lands him in the ribbons. Not only is he a wonderful competition horse but he also loves to trail ride, go to the beach (swimming included), and hack/jump in open fields. He has been meticulously cared for still being owned by his breeder/trainer. Only reason for sale is owner's pregnancy.

He is currently located in Ocala, FL near WEC and will be there for another month or so before coming back to Southern Maine. He has a full set of xrays taken in February 2023. Priced in the mid-high 5’s to a wonderful home only.

This is a special horse that belongs to our dear friend and boarder who sadly has passed away. Looking for a spectacular home...

Bear is a 16yo 16.2h TB gelding. He is owned by a very good friend of mine that passed away this winter which is the only reason he is for sale. I owned Bear when he was 7 and 8 and he always quietly WTC and jumped around 2’3” - 2’6” with changes. He gave lessons, showed in the hunters, and liked to go for hacks. For the past 8 years he has been an older adult rider's pleasure and lower level dressage horse. She did WT only with her horses so he has had some time off from the canter. He has not been ridden since she passed this winter so will need to be restarted. He was always a horse that she could let sit for weeks/months and then just hop on and go for a ride. His owner cared very deeply for him and a wonderful home is most important. The family is not able to restart him so he is being sold as a project “as is.” So please don’t ask for all kinds of current videos and trials. He is sound and healthy and looking for his next partner! UTD on all shots, dental work, farrier care, and I have to check on his coggins. Barefoot and requires no maintenance. He is currently located at Wild Iris Equestrian Center in Hiram, ME. Priced in the low four figures.

These videos are all from 2013/2014 when I owned him…

LEASE ONLY

Holly is a 6yo 15.2h TB mare that is available for lease! She has had 60 days of professional post track training. She is a straight forward quiet ride with a soft and supple feel. Holly will WTC on a loose rein and is learning to stretch and go long and low. She is green over fences, currently doing 18”-2’ courses and offering changes. Can get a little spicy over the fences but will come back down quickly. Looking for a confident intermediate rider/handler to bring her along and be her new person! Located at Wild Iris Equestrian Center in South Hiram, ME. On farm full or half lease is preferred but can be off farm lease in the right situation.

Catalina is a 2007 15.2h Oldenburg mare. She has had two beautiful foals. Both are nice movers, have sweet temperaments, and are very willing to learn. We have been using her to breed top of the line large ponies so both of her foals are welsh crosses. I do not have her papers but she could easily be approved with a warmblood registry as well. Catalina herself is a lovely mare that is sweet to handle and very easy to live with. She is a pro with the vet and farrier, easy to breed, trailer, bathe, groom, etc. Last video is from just a few days ago. She was retired due to an injury so you will see she is not completely sound. I did get on her just as a testament to her temperament but we are not selling her as a riding horse. She had not been ridden in over 5 years and I was able to get on with no lunge and tool around quietly. She is located in Hiram, ME and shipping can be arranged. Very low 4’s (👆,🖐🥕🥕) to a fantastic home only.
