Pretty- 14yr, 15h Bay Mare $6000

🎥 https://youtu.be/SWVuh5JUM7s?si=i4sVcXUsbYEw5QA4

This is an exceptionally nice horse, one of our barn favorites at the moment! Pretty will ride walk, jog, lope both leads, has a good stop and back, and neck reins perfectly. She likes to trail ride or will work in the arena too. Watch her video riding out through the snowy fields, she is an absolute pleasure. Does what you ask, never complains! Pretty currently wears front shoes, turns out with a mixed herd, easy to groom and tack, loads and hauls well. A nice all around horse that absolutely anyone should be able to enjoy. Did we mention she is pretty looking too!

Rosie- 14yr, Approx 12.2h Molly Pony Mule $950

🎥 https://youtu.be/_4I4Mor6y_I?si=yfHWE-61Dm_7KGb0

The cutest mule around! Rosie is very gentle girl and an excellent companion to horses, ponies, donkeys and all types of livestock. She is well mannered, easy to groom, and loves attention. A little tricky to catch, but we’ve been working on it and she is coming around quickly! Rosie does line drive and just seemed a little rusty, I would definitely think she was driven in the past. We did try to ride Rosie, but she definitely wasn’t so sure about the idea. Most recently she has been running in a pasture with livestock as a guardian/companion. Wonderful companion and a neat pet!

Slice- 4yr, 16.2h Bay TB Gelding $6000

🎥 https://youtu.be/AbUrWCFqwY0?si=PNxE5lKlTfuqdv4n

Checkout this handsome gelding! Slice is a nice young horse with a world of potential. Ground covering trot, slow “lopey” canter, started over fences and jumps very nicely. Green but very honest to the jumps. Push kind of ride. Has offered a few changes, just needs fine tuning. Easy enough for an amateur/teen to bring along with a trainer or a nice prospect for a pro to finish & move along. He is a well bred TB, top and bottom, never made it to the track as he is wayyy too slow, should make a fantastic hunter! Slice has no vices. He turns out with a group of geldings and loves to play. Currently wears front shoes. Loads & hauls easily. Price to increase as his progress continues! Leases also considered to right situation.

Lady Joanie- 8yr, 14.2-14.3h Haflinger Cross Mare $4800

🎥 https://youtu.be/qrD8Yrh34S8?si=Htjrf4KAxDctVPwI

If you’re looking for a steady eddy horse to plod around the arena or head down the trails, this is your girl! Lady Joanie would rather go slow than fast. She walks and trots easily but it takes a push to make her canter, does have both leads if you can get her moving. She loves to trail ride and will go anywhere you ask, on her own or with other horses. Would be an excellent husband or guest horse, will suit any rider with her stocky build. We haven’t personally hooked her but I was told that Lady drives too. She is currently barefoot and sound, turned out in a mixed herd, easy to groom/tack, and loads and hauls well. A nice safe all around horse that someone is sure to enjoy!

Pops- 12yr, 16.1-16.2 Bay OTTB Gelding $2850

🎥 https://youtu.be/iGxaqnIW0eM?si=ncnrsLrj2iqHB_lK

This big stout pretty gelding is a joy to ride and loves attention. Pops will ride walk/trot/canter, goes whatever speed you ask and doesn’t get hot, happy to just walk along. Has been ridden in the arena, English and western, and willingly heads down the trail too. He last raced in 2019 and seems like he has been used for trail riding/western work since and may have been a pony horse as well. Has a super nice neckrein which we don’t see with many TB! We think Pops could make a super lesson horse with fitness or head out with a group and hit the trails tomorrow. Goes over a cross rail willingly. He aims to please and is a good boy! Barefoot in video, now wearing front shoes. Turns out with a group of geldings and gets along well. Loads and hauls easy. A nice boy with no vices.

Bonnie- 17yr, 16+h Molly Mule

🎥 https://youtu.be/nbHmjgEMCoY?si=a9OL-U_4n6hSnhMi

Bonnie is a sweet big mule that’s very gentle. Previous owners reported that they drove her single and double, and trail rode her too. We have ridden her, she is nervous when you get on (best if someone holds her) but then does ride some. Kind of green/happiest just to follow her best buddy. Bonnie is easy to groom and work around, handles her feet well, and is easy to catch as long as you’ve got a snack for her. Gets along well with horses and livestock. She is a super companion and we think she’d probably be happiest to just be a friend to another equine. We aren’t really mule people, so maybe the right person would get along great with her to ride and drive too. Either way she’s a really cool girl that wants friends and loving!

Patch- 7yr, Approx 40” Paint Pony Gelding

🎥 https://youtu.be/jG7zTtseugA?si=Z11eK5MdDmPlrZAE

Patch is an awesome all around fun pony! Patch is broke to ride and drive. He will do the leadline job for the kids and be a lot of fun for the more experienced kids to ride on their own. While we haven’t personally hooked him, Patch line drives great and I’d have no hesitation in guaranteeing that he will drive. Has done summer leases for pony rides/petting zoo. He’s a little on the spunky side, typical pony! Has the energy to be a great asset to a pony ride program as he can work all day. Barefoot and sound, no vices, gets along well in a mixed herd of ponies or with big horses. Sharp looking dude!

Winston- 14yr, 14h Grey/White Pinto Gelding $3500

🎥 https://youtu.be/vzI7bHhRXbM?si=y6oF5rHoHCGfGC_N

The ultimate trail pony! Winston is a steady eddy type on the trail, goes along with his ears forward, and loves the job! He likes to lead, but will follow if other horses have a quicker step than him. Seems very willing to go on his own as well. Crosses ditches, logs, & bridges easily and will cross water if necessary. I think just about anyone that can sit on his back can get along with him to ride down the trail! Winston will also walk/trot/lope both leads around the arena, but it takes a little more of a rider to make him do his job in the ring. Beginner friendly on the trail, and currently works great for our intermediate lesson kids in the ring. A useful guy either way! Winston is barefoot. Can be turned out in a group or on his own. Easy to groom, bathe, tack, loads, & hauls well. A nice all around boy that we love- scoop him up before I decide to keep him for camp!

Bubbles- 12yr Paint Mini Gelding SOLD

🎥 https://youtu.be/HwJ3NXQ9v54?si=PIYDQ_DPAOIqawYM

🎥 https://youtu.be/C2Kkufy-2GE?si=X0Z18TXQ8PiDBxo0

Bubbles is a super cool pony that will do the leadline job or ride independently. Just returned from a summer/fall lease where he did tons of pony rider! Bubbles will ride well saddled or ba****ck, with a bridle or in a halter and lead. You don’t find ponies this well broke very often! He is a paint- but just has a Medicine Hat & a spot on his back, so he could easily do the white pony unicorn job for pony rides & photo shoots! Bubbles gets along with other ponies and is an excellent companion too. He is gentle to work around, easy to groom and tack. Good to catch as long as you have a snack for him. Our lesson kids absolutely love this pony and he is sure to be a star in his next home!

Rosie- 14yr Molly Mule $950

The cutest mule around! Rosie is very gentle girl and an excellent companion to horses, ponies, donkeys and all types of livestock. She is well mannered, easy to groom, and loves attention. A little tricky to catch, but I think with regular attention and snacks she would come around quickly! Rosie does line drive and just seemed a little rusty, I would definitely think she was driven in the past. We did try to ride Rosie, but she definitely wasn’t so sure about the idea. Most recently she has been running in a pasture with livestock as a guardian/companion. I think with a little time she would make a neat riding/driving mule, or keep her just as a wonderful companion and a neat pet!
