⁉️Who’s in the market for a fancy 1/2D gelding ⁉️

This guy is easy to ride both in the barrel pen and out side. He is fancy broke standing 15.2HH! Mikey has been hauled all over and has several winnings under his belt. He is youth approved and would make a outstanding high school or college barrel horse.
Mikey has been nothing short of amazing here and I absolutely adore this guy.

Cheap!

Kitty, as we call her is a 13 year old paint mare Standing 14.3 HH. She has been used as a recipient mare for the last few years. She is broke to ride but will need a tune up. With a good tune up I think she would make a great trail horse.

He is a steal 🚨
🚨EXTREMELY NICE GELDING! HE HAS IT ALL THE LOOKS, SMARTS, AND COLOR🚨

This is a super nice gelding. 7 years old. Stands 15.2 hands tall. Lightly started on barrels. Would make a heck of a head or heel horse! He’s got the looks and the build. Just came down from Montana where he was being ranched off of. They used him to push and sort cattle in a feed lot. One hand broke. Ready to go in any direction.

We have used him to rope yearlings. Splash has been rode in grand entrees with thousands of people in the stands. We have taken him to town he has handled everything great! The only down call he has had is every now and then he gets cold back. He hasn’t done it in several months and I don’t see him doing it again. But if I had to say something negative that would be it. I wouldn’t recommend for beginners but handy youth would be just fine. He hits the ground sound. This would be a great addition to anyone’s herd. He was listed on auction however top bidder was a no show.

CALL, TEXT, OR PM ONLY! I will not respond to comments!

‼️LOW FOUR FIGURES‼️
11 year old ranch mare. She has seen a hard days worth of work. She has been used to doctor, check fence, and push cattle for the past year. Saddle her up and go to work! I very lightly started her on barrels. Big stop, small spin, side pass, open and close gates.

I will be in Texas today - Thursday I have her with me!
She is cheap.

🇺🇸 RANCH GELDING! LOPING THE BARRELS 🇺🇸

Stetson has been used in sale barns and out in the pasture. He is super in your pocket and easy to be around. Stands tied, loads, unloads, great for farrier, etc. He will also pick up both leads. He is good with other horses. Easy to catch. He will ride out with other horses or alone. Not buddy sour.

I would not recommend him for a beginner. He is a lot of horse. But will walk off on a lose rein!

He has a super cool way to him and I could see him making a heck of a barrel or heel horse.

He is currently loping the barrel pattern and has a ton of potential!

Are you in the market for a safe all around gelding? Are you looking for a horse to add to your lesson program? Well let me introduce you to Crossbow!

Kids can ride double or triple on him with no problems. And I have personally seen this! Previous owner said that if you can hold on to the reins, you can ride him.

He’s been ridden by kids, adults, beginners, husbands, grandparents, etc.

He loads and unloads great. Stands for the farrier. Easy to catch. No maintenance required. He is good with other horses.

Crossbow knows all the playday events. We took him around the barrels with ease.

Previous owner used him on the mounted drill team. He has also been used at clinics.

Crossbow has been with his previous owner for most of his life. They couldn’t tell us enough good things about him. They told us that the only reason they were getting rid of him was so they could afford to feed this winter.

He would make a great addition to any lesson program. Or if your looking for a family safe horse this is him!

Grade

Ranch broke with a big stop. Cherry is super willing and has a cute rocking horse lope. She is a super easy keeper. She has been used to work cows in the past. She would make a nice ranch, sale barn, or day working mare. I could also see her doing well in the playday events.
She is not beginner friendly only reason I say this is because she can be a little watchy on the ground absolutely nothing crazy. If you have handy youth I think they would be fine! She is built like a break house and would make a jam up heel horse! Cherry would also make a great trail horse under saddle she is not watchy or spooky. It’s only on the ground i believe she may have been handled a little to rough in the past.

Izzy is starting to get a big stop and work off of leg pressure. No maintenance, UTD on everything, stands tied, stands to be saddled, stands to be mounted, loads, unloads, easy to catch, stalls fine, etc..

She would make a jam up barrel or take her to the roping pen. Izzy can go any direction, she knows the basics and is ready for a job!

She bucked once recently it was only once we got her in a lope but it was a pretty hard buck! She hasn’t ever done this before I don’t know if it was because she had time off or what but I want buyer to be aware! I’m not saying she is a total bronc because like I said she hasn’t ever done this before I just don’t want anyone getting in over there head! ‼️I have dropped her price because of this‼️ I want to update this… she hasn’t done it again!

🔥Toby 🔥

This is a outstanding yearling with a great head on him! Toby lunges both directions and knows what whoa means!

Please do not ask me if he is broke to ride he is only a yearling!!!! Before coming to us Toby stayed in the pasture 24/7 so we have been working hard on getting him to shine!

I will say the previous owners did a great job on making him gentle! Toby is extremely sweet and well mannered he stands tied, stands to be washed, loads, unloads, picks up all four with no problem, and is easy to catch.

Toby is still intact so you have options!!! He does not know he is a stallion and he can be gelded before leaving! With a little cleaning up and weight he will be super nice looking!

🍑 Peaches🍑
12 years old
14.2 hands tall
Grade mare

Peaches is not a dead head, but she is safe enough for anyone. Beginner safe, kid safe, husband safe, even grandma safe.

Peaches will ride out alone or with other horses. Was previously used as a trail horse. Has been ridden through rough terrain. You point, and she will go. She also goes any speed you ask.

She stand to mount and dismount. Easy to catch. Loads and unloads great. She’s a super easy keeper and will stay fat off air.

She rides in pretty much anything. We’ve ridden her in an O Ring snaffle, a hackamore, and even a halter and lead.

I could see her excelling as a lesson horse. She would also do well packing people around at a dude ranch.

She knows all the playday events. I don’t expect her to be some fast horse but she will get the job done. Great for a family who’s just getting started in the rodeo scene.

She is traffic safe. Trains do not bother her. She’s also been around dogs, livestock, and exotic birds with no issues.

Previous owner told us that she was once registered. Do with that as you please. We are not guaranteeing papers or anything of that sort. Please do not ask what her registered name is or who she’s out of as we do not know.

If your looking for a super safe mare that’s perfect for the whole family this is her. She’s the real deal and most definitely the whole package.

HAULERS NEED TO DO BETTER!

I sold a horse to a super nice lady who lives in MA. I told her about a hauler I use quite often. I never had a problem with the said hauler before now. We agreed I would haul the horse to the haulers house so it would be more convenient when it was time to make the long haul to MA. The day I hauled the horse to TX where the hauler lives I stopped by my vets office and got a health certificate and new coggins while I was there sent pics to the owner of said horse. I also took pics of the horse once we got to the shippers house ( incase something ever where to happen) I get a text yesterday evening from the owner of the horse. Let me tell you I was pi**ed this horse had marks all over her. She had lost weight. She was dying of thirst it was awful! We have contacted the shipper trying to get a refund she states she had no idea what happen to the horse!!! She says she loaded the horse up with no marks and her driver did the rest. Now I have not put names out there yet but if she doesn’t make this right I will be happy to do so!

This gelding is fresh off the track! Super nice hip, shoulders, and a kind eye! He moves super nice and would be epic in the barrel pen! He has a LTE of just over 6k.

Please do not ask if your kid can ride him! No he is not beginner friendly! This horse has a ton of potential not to mention the looks to go with!

Sit down and buckle up we are about to have a come to Jesus meeting! This going to be blunt, if you don’t like it just keep scrolling!

I’m beyond tired of trying to please everyone! We have 20+ horses at a time. I put everything I have in me into my business and my horses! The buyers are driving people out of business and I mean it! I’m not the only one who feels this way, there are ton of well known people who do what I do that are now getting out of the business because of the ” buyers”! Now before I get into the reasons why I want to thank all of my great buyers! I’m thankful for all of you and glad we built a friendship because you bought from me❤️
Here is why I’m tired of it… we spend countless hours taking videos, pictures, riding, etc… we try our best to get the best photos possible so you can see every spec of hair on the horse! We haul theses horses all over the place getting the best possible videos! We are at this barn from sun up to sun down taking care and training theses horses for you as the buyers!!! When a buyer ask us to get a certain video we rush to go get it done and you know what’s sad we never here back from them! I have hundreds of people text me a day, they ask thousands of questions then you know what we never hear back from them! I can understand if the horse just doesn’t fit what you are looking for and that is totally fine. But when you text me just to text me and be a tire kicker it gets old! I have gotten to the point of if you have already texted me on horses prior to the one you’re asking about and you wasted my time I won’t even reply.
I’m also tired of the people who text me before they even have the funds for the horse! People do you go to Walmart and tell them to hold the last gallon milk for a month because you can’t afford it right now? No, you don’t because you understand that that is a business and they aren’t going to hold the last gallon milk for you!
It is true when I say selling a 50k horse is easier then a 2k- 10k horse! You want to know why? It’s because the buyers for a 50k horse are serious they aren’t here to waist my time and ask me if the horse can do jumping jacks under water!
Stop being like this and grow up do not text someone about a horse unless you are ready to buy right then and there! Don’t be that person! I want to say this again this doesn’t go for everyone and this 100% doesn’t go for the people that text and just don’t think the horse is a good fit that is perfectly fine!

🇺🇸 Finished playday horse 🇺🇸
Offering him cheap before we sale prep and start hauling. Read that whole ad!

Rusty came to my barn two weeks ago he was previously a playday horse then was turned out to pasture for a year ( no fault of his own ). He had a major grass belly and no top line. He now is picking up weight in the right spots and was just power packed. We saddled him up after a year of him being off and he rode off like a champ. This week we started cruising the barrels and he is awesome. We have also taken him through some of the playday events. With all of this being said yes he still needs muscle along the lip line. He will start being hauled middle of next month once I feel he is in great shape again. I’m going to offer him cheap until then. I know it’s hard to find anything cheap right now so here is your chance. Once I take “sale photos/ videos ” he will not be cheap! Pics where just taken along with only a few videos.

These ladies came from Cedar Rapids, IA. it was wonderful meeting y’all. Hope you enjoy your new horses!

Sister is the perfect youth mount or even adult confidence builder! She is kick and point style and will go as fast or as slow as you ask. She is super fun to ride and is the same horse every time. We have hauled sister all over from super shows with 1500+ entrees to playdays. She is absolutely perfect every time and can TURN! She is fine with time off catch her and ride her off where she stands. She knows all the playdays and runs low 21 - 23 poles depending on rider. She can be on the muscle at shows nothing crazy or stupid just ready to roll! Would be best suited as a step up that is ready to win!

3D gelding with a TON of room for improvement. He came to us super hot. He was never blown up on the pattern, just very on the muscle. He is a jam up pole horse 21-22. This horse has potential to be 1D!

Will walk down the alley with no funny business.

Would make a great high school rodeo horse or a youth step up if youth is handy.

He’s currently being hauled with us to barrel races where he’s being ran atleast twice a week. He’s been entered in local shows and super shows.

Would not suggest him for a timid or inexperienced rider. Not because he will do anything stupid, but because he is a lot of horse.

He is not for you if you want to run the barrels 20 times a day. He does not need to be worked that much. He knows his job. You will make him hot if you do this!

He is good on the trails and outside the arena as well. He’s been roped off of on the head side and used to work cows.

Bugs is as safe as they come and what I would consider a true baby sitter. There is no trail or job to complicated for bugs. From the rocky trails to the town square, bugs knows where to go! He perfect for any size rider.

Around the ranch bugs is a dream to own! He ground ties, making it a breeze to fix fences or doctor. He is super easy to catch and will meet you at the gate. Bugs has a heart as big as him and is willing to please. This guy is broke to drive, so no stage fright here when it comes to traffic and cars! Bugs loads and unloads the trailer with a point of a finger.

Bugs has had all ages of riders on him and is wonderful for everyone! This guy will cross bridges, rail road tracks, water, logs, etc…
Bugs has traveled miles and seen places and will be the best baby sitter you ever hirer!
