Wouldn't change a thing about this mare even if I could! Way. Too. Fricken. NICE!!!!! 👌👌👌👌👌
Queenie today .... what a beauty!!!!😍

01/31/2025

Not only is Queenie 👑 a trail master BUT she is most definitely one of the best + most well rounded horses we have listed right now! Amateurs have rode her in and out of the arena,🦄 she has rode near traffic, been to the range, rode thru creeks, the woods, mud, sand, next to dogs, wildlife both alone and in a group, ponied others etc. She has also shown us that she has a ton of jumper potential, enjoys endurance, is forgiving, not spooky, and has plenty of speed if and only if asked for it! 👌 Queenie is never hot and spicy! Ever! This is a nice classy mare that would be fantastic in multiple settings, she's BROKE with some buttons, has big heart, is totally in your face w/everyone, brave, willing and well gorgeous💋 obviously!!!! Did I mention bred very very well!!?! Well she is! We have a ton of new video on her!! Listed around mid ###x and will be creeping upwards very soon as she's worth it!!

01/31/2025

📢📢📢There are transports with spots open headed to Iowa, Nebraska, SD, ND, northern MN, thru Wisconsin and to Illinois this weekend!!🔥🔥 CHEAP RATES 🔥🔥can go off route, if theres anyone you have been eying NOWS THE TIME!!! Prices will only get higher as we near spring not just with us but in general!

👉👉We have sound, broke, and registered starting at 3️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣on up!! Lets chat!

**pic for post attention and to brag about an NCT horse named Breeze and her owner Lily! 🙌

01/30/2025

Babs, Mable, and Queenie ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Tell me why they want to drink from the ice cold creek instead of the expensive heated richie waterers I had put in!?! 🤦‍♀️

01/30/2025

Meet Scarlett~
5-month old weanling filly, a complete doll!!!! 😍 Bred exceptionally well and has a temperament that'll blown your dang mind! 😉Promise you that!! She's beyond smart and takes things in like a sponge!! Halter breaking her took maybe 10minutes! 👌 She's something special hands down! ♥️♥️ We own both the dam and sire. If you'd like to meet them as well come on over!! This girl is going to be a big girl when she's done growing in a few years, atleast 16.2, big, and thick with alot of shape! Scarlett is a beautiful mover already at this age, she was born wanting to be in your pocket, and has been handled on a regular basis since birth. We LOVE her to bits, a fantastic home is a must!!! She knows all her baby basics and more! Will stand to have her feet handled/patted mimicking farrier, easy to catch, will load and trailer, stands tied, respects a variety of fencing, etc. She is a brave + SUPER CUTE, a real chunky thang!! 😍 Will home to a racing or sporthorse home! Pics were all taken today 1/30, movement video as well as in hand video is avail as well!!

01/29/2025

We figured why not see what all Grace knows under saddle and of course she shocked everyone when she dipped her head down for the bridle and rode right off without issue!! 🙌 I call that a big WIN after not being rode since late 2022!! Go Grace!!♥️♥️♥️♥️ Shes such a sweetheart!

01/29/2025

Meet J.W.~ ***LOW ###x
Going to be the biggest + cutest moose you ever did meet when hes full grown!! Coming 5yr old gelding by Ghostzapper! 👌💋 EXCELLENT BLOODLINES!! sticked at 17hands! Was bought to help him and see to it that he has a bright future. He hadn't just needed weight as we were told prior to arrival. J.W. arrived to NCT clearly neglected was bit up, scraped up, blood gash wounds, rainrot galore and very underweight with his hips protruding💔 We have him on a top notch feed regimen and it's clearly working VERY well for him. His pics on this listing that were taken on 1/10 except for the first two pics which were taken recently on 1/27. HUGE GLOW UP compared to his initial pics shared to the page a month ago that had been taken after weeks of tlc with NCT. It had been far too cold here to clip him so we treated him daily with Equiderma products to make sure all the rain rot healed up. Now as of 1/29 we put powder on his back as a preventative about every other day and will for another week and that'll be done! 👌East peesy!

The kids just love him, hes soo good with them, and puts up with all their shenanigans! ♥️He adores everything that moves especiallythe big chunky orange barn cat named Nacho who enjoys chillin with the horses!🤣 We told the kids they could name him and JOHN WICK was the name with the most votes!🤣Now since I personally dont want to be out yelling for John Wick 🤦‍♀️because someone may then think Im losing my marbles 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ we decided to call him J.W. It's perfect and has really grown on us and fits him well although alot of the time I call him baby or sweetheart! 🤣 This gelding is PRECIOUS, hes a really good boy, and I think he'd be so so happy to have his own person! J.W. is a total ham for attention, ♥️ has good solid feet, no vices, gets along well with mares & geldings, respects all fencing, trailers like a pro, broke wtc no fancy buttons just yet. He will be starting in training soon and will then be increased significantly to reflect what we have into him. ((We are offering him for 👉LOW ###x for a limited time)) This is a GREAT opportunity for someone w/a lower budget to scoop up a registered + broke gelding for cheap right now before spring rolls in and prices go sky high! Take him home, let him settle in, get to know him, and save a good chunk of change meanwhile!

Charlie is the least photogenic horse we have...
Ive attempted to take his pics atleast 5 times now and we've come to the conclusion that he must either be touching you, rubbing on you or eating treats otherwise he gives us ears back or donkey ears and sticks his tongue out as if he's saying fine then no good pics of me!!🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

So anyways I figure I'll just say it how it is and someone looking for a puppy 🐕 in a horses body that is goofy, kind, chunky, comical, is an attention hoard that wants a bestie, loves kids, and would love a job will see him and scoop him up!!

Charlie is an ADORABLE 😍registered 6yr old, if you get him to stand straight and not try to touch you he sticks 15.2/15.3. He has no vices, no maintenance, is rode 1-2 days a week, and is one the whole family can share! He's had youth ride him out and about so just about anyone can ride him! Hes a total pet, nothing about him says racehorse exactly why he was only raced minimally. You could take him soo many directions! Listed reasonably at the moment!

01/27/2025

Look at this cutie!! What a fricken beefcake!! 😮🔥🔥

It's 35° out today and everyone's feeling pretty dang good! Had to sneak over and get a pic of Roscoes handsome self during his afternoon training sesh. He looks sooo good!!!

01/27/2025

📢📢🙋‍♀️ Anyone looking for a nice pair of registered, broke geldings, sound, sane, w/VERY VERY SWEET temperaments for under 10k!!?!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We have three different pair options we could work a deal on for 9️⃣k and 9️⃣7️⃣5️⃣0️⃣!!! That is an excellent deal as Im sure you know if you're following the market! Why am I willing to give such good deals, well because I do not have any full-time training spots currently open so it makes sense at the moment. Offer valid for a very limited time because once I do I wont have a reason to wheel and deal! Dm or call for info!

** Roscoe is pictured below!
* will not give the same big discounts if homed individually **

Geldings are ...
Charlie, Roscoe, and J.W.

J.W. sticked 17hands this morning🙌 (insert whistle) WOWZER this big brown teddy bear is still looking for a forever family/barn program! He's a big gentle♥️ giant really with a love for good food, attention, cuddles, nose smooches,💋 neck pats, and turn out time w/ his friends Charlie & Sebastián! Everytime someones entering their paddock that cute little trio are all right their in your face begging to be caught! 🤣 Heck they'd probably put the halter on themselves if it was possible! J.W. is an in your pocket type of fella 100%! He's going to be the hugest cutest moose when hes done growing!! During the last several weeks hes packed on mega weight and is really feeling good! If he doesn't find a home soon we will be putting him on the training schedule to bring him into work BUT at that point he will have a substantial increase from what he's listed at now! ✨️✨️✨️Broke, registered, sound, listed low currently, and really sweet!!✨️✨️✨️
Listing is on the page!

01/27/2025

Proof is in the pudding folks, pudding being alfalfa and tlc of course!! Oh and I dont want to leave out the wormer pack!

Meet Grace~

Follow the page for more transformation pics in another two weeks and watch this mares glow up!! It's hard to believe that just a few short weeks ago this mare right here was unloved, unwanted, a backyard neglect case, underfed, hungry, with rainrot etc. She carried her head low and seemed hopeless and confused when people loved on her initially. It was obvious she hadnt had affection in some time. She has hardly done anything other then eat since she arrived and that shows! She's really getting some shape to her and packing on the pounds well! Grace loves her grain, she gets hers covered with apple flavored horse treats, and a fat supplement, and she eats every. single. morsel! She's thankful for everything we do for her and loves to just be in the prescense of people, she will c**k a leg and fall asleep whenever we are near! ♥️ I know she finds comfort in knowing now that she is safe, cared for, loved, and doesn't have to worry about going hungry any longer. Grace LOVES kids and they love her! Her rainrot is gone now, she loves the heated waterers, and has taken a real liking to Stellas 5-month old filly Scarlett in the most sweetest way! ♥️ We have seen them reaching through fencing to scratch eachothers backs!!♥️♥️ Love can do amazing things!

01/25/2025

When talking to people I am often asked about Thoroughbreds being hardkeepers and if that's true... My response is absolutely not! It's not a breed issue it's more of a skimping on quality feed issue. Come on over and let me show you barn after barn, pasture after pasture full of Thoroughbreds that are shapy, healthy, happy, and on minimal grain. We put our focus on feeding top quality forage that is available to them at free choice. We do not count flakes even if on stall board. In turn we rarely deal with ulcers, our horses coats are healthy, they feel good, and are not irritable and hungry. Quality feed is everything.. it affects gut health, longevity, performance, hoof health etc.

Many of the most followed and known trainers out their like Clinton Anderson for example are all about feeding alfalfa just like us!🙌 He mentioned in a recent article on his social media page that alot of people ask him how he gets his horses to look so good and his response was "the secret is what you feed them" and that hes been feeding good quality alfalfa for over 15years now. BINGO!! 👌 Now you know why most of our Thoroughbreds are beating a ton of the b.s. stereotypes out there about the breed! Dont just believe what you read from people on Facebook -land.
Just thought Id share with you all since this is a topic of conversation for me multiple times a day everyday with buyers/potential buyers.

**Random pic taken this morning of Roscoe & Big Red before the snow began!

Meet Mac~
Talk about EXCELLENT DISPOSITION this gelding is an outstanding horse!!! 😍Nothing I say can begin to describe how phenomenal he really is!♥️♥️♥️ 7yrs old, a hair shy of 17hands, and my goodness he sure is incredibly HANDSOME!! Everyone needs a Mac in their life! This big gray hunk is a ham, a big LOVER, not only does he turn heads because he's huge and flashy BUT his leg movement really sets him apart! Yes.. sure he can cover some ground if asked but he also is a steady eddy by all means that your amateur hubby/wife can ride or you can use to teach kids how to ride with! 🦄Mac is very much point and go whatever we throw at him he's game and tries his very best at whether it's new to him or not! He aims to please always and is a big puppy for attention and love! 🥰 Kids hang all over him and he soaks it all up!

Mac has been a barn favorite and he is well aware of that, this is a highly intelligent horse take note Im telling you now 🤣 he enjoys his daily handful of peppermints, molasses horse cookies, and getting his breakfast FIRST! Definitely has the loudest whinny in that section of the barn and nods his head yes for breakfast. He is a character, full of charm, personality, and heart!! ❤️ We fricken love this horse, LOVE having him around!! Mac is BROKE wtc, one hand neck reins, has excellent brakes, naturally beautiful flying lead changes, a smooth canter, and an extended trot that screams DRESSAGE!!! This gelding could definitely go multiple directions for his next riding career!! Theres no bad direction!

He has been a solid stand in mount for amateur youth lessons when needed at a moments notice just tack him up and go no silly business! 👉And as most of you know not just any horse can do that! He has been rode near traffic, heavy machinery in use, a variety of wildlife, hes been to bonfires, rode and stood tied at the range, had a rope swung off him, galloped through fields, carried a flag, been rode ba****ck, rode all over gravel roads and at several state parks & trails etc. Mac rides western & english equally as well, in the arena & out. He drops his head for the bridle, rides in a snaffle or happy mouth bit and is all business,🦄 he enjoys having a job but isnt the type of horse that needs to be in regular work to keep him from getting fresh. He has sat before then been tacked up and rode right off without any funky business.👌

Again this is a nice solid well broke horse! A dreamhorse for many, whoever gets him will be over the moon, and in love!! ❤️No vices! No maintenance. He is currently barefoot but we do intend to put a new set of fronts on him next week as we ride on all sorts of terrain so have almost all horses in full time work kept with fronts on. Mac does not test fencing, he can turn out w/mares & geldings, and has two really good gelding friends if you happen to be looking for a nice solid pair for the family to enjoy! Trailers like a pro! Been both pasture and stall board. Has a nice winter coat, a real hardy guy, definitely an easykeeper, and maintains his weight easily! First to greet you at the gate, is stoic and LOVES getting his pictures taken! 🤣 Has a barn cat that favors him and follows him around even outside, its absolutely hilarious to watch!

Mac is out of an own daughter of El Prado 👌and on the top side has several highly sought out bloodlines including Tapit, Unbridled, More Then Ready, and Woodman🔥🔥🔥 Mac himself has career earnings of over 70k, he did well for himself but decided he wanted more in life so his connections at the time decided to let him have just that so he came to NCT to train and that's what we've been doing since!!😁

The facts are everyone wants Mac but not everyone can afford him... Grays are not typically cheap especially not a tall thick bodied well broke horse with his resume!👉 Listed around upper ###x currently and will continue rising as we continue on w/training. Can work a short term pay-arrangement to an excellent home if needed. Reasonable transport is also avail.

For video or w/interest or questions dm the page or call! ***serious inquiries only!

Grace, Babs, and Mable just chillin 😎 on this 20° January day! Hardly have a dribble of snow here currently and we're cool with that! Florida, Texas, Tennessee y'all can have it all, it's your turn!🤣
Oh and Grace check her out, she's doing really well!!

01/21/2025

Another thoroughbred from NCT that has now made it to the ranks of a 1D barrel horse!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 You're killin it Briana, keep up the good work with Zaino, and don't let anyone ever stand in between you and your goals!! 🙌

01/20/2025

Scarlett is 5 months old already and will be weaned from her mama Stella very soon! ♥️She is chunky, brave, a really cute mover, and bred exceptionally well!! This girl has got some speed! Should reach 16-16.2hands at full grown. Knows all the baby basics and more! Trailers, ties, stands for grooming, farrier, has been handled on a regular basis since birth, and will jog in hand! Scarlett is smart and going to do big things! We love this filly to bits!!🥰 Open to racing and non-racing homes! ((Listed under mid ###x))

01/20/2025

We've got a windchill of -25° out their but had to make sure Grace got in some more snuggles at the last barn check tonight. Poor girl has definitely went years without love💔 it's just heartbreaking because she's incredibly sweet and does no wrong. She loves everything and everyone! Grace is on a good custom feed regimen now with a fat supplement, we are treating her rainrot, wormed her, gave her a 5-way flu vac shot, and put her on a short round of ulcerguard as more of a preventative because she's been through an awful lot! Her personality is shining through more and more each day ♥️♥️
