2024 filly looking for a new address! Ragen is a lovely filly by Ridley and out of an Oldenburg approved TB mare. Ridley is by the impeccable Rotspon and won numerous in hand championships as well as through the levels under saddle. His progeny are competing successfully in Dressage, Hunters and Eventing and his stellar performances and reputation make his offspring highly sought after and well-loved. Ragen is lovely on the ground and stands like a statue for the farrier. She is brave and inquisitive and very affectionate. She will mature to about 15.2/15.3hh and will be perfect for a smaller rider. She has lovely movement with three correct gaits. We need to make room for our current weanlings so she is priced to sell, however we will be very choosy about were she goes. Her three older siblings are on the farm, one of whom is moving up the levels.

This is a post that I came across on a local FB page that l belong to:

“ISO stud/stallion to spend some time with my mare this fall to service her.
Healthy mare, healthy pasture.”

Kids - this is what we call irresponsible breeding. This kind of thing is not OK. Responsible breeders, like myself, don’t just breed random mares to random stallions just to put a baby on the ground. We spend hours pouring over bloodlines, analyzing the mares conformation and attributes and then spend more hours analyzing the stallions pedigree, conformation, movement, and character. There is not a lot of financial reward by the time you ultrasound, breed, care for the mare, and care for the resulting foal - and that’s if it all goes well. We do it because we want to put the best horses out there that are our vision of what a sport horse should be. We create the future athletes of our equestrian sports - it’s an honor but also a huge responsibility.

Posts like the one above are why there are so many horses at auctions - or in worse places. These people only contribute to what’s wrong with the equine industry. Am I being harsh? Yes. Is it true? Yes. But while I rarely contribute to many FB groups that I am a part of - I will always voice my opinions in these circumstances. Irresponsible breeding serves no purpose other than to flood auction venues and get people hurt. Period. It’s also a slap in the face to those of us who continually strive to do things the right way. A responsible breeder will put a correct foal on the ground - they will work with that foal to teach it proper behavior and basic groundwork.
Anything else is just wrong. Anything else is totally unacceptable.
