🔥 Fire Sale: Now $1500 🔥

Strawberry is a sweet grade mare in her late teens, standing tall at 15.3-16 hands. She is up-to-date on all shots, barefoot, and comes with a current Coggins.

🐴 About Strawberry:

Perfect step-up horse for older teens or adult that can confidently walk/trot/lope and handle a taller horse on the ground
Recently participated in a fun show, excelling in barrels, poles, keyhole, horsemanship, and ranch riding with three 4H youth (one of whom had never ridden her before!)
Also has been to english shows showing in the english flat classes and over ground poles
Has gone on trails both with us and in previous homes. Is not overly spooky/looky but struggles with going out by herself yet. Great with other horses.

Prefers not to jump over 12” cross rails, making her unsuitable for our intermediate jumping lessons
Barefoot with no vices and no maintenance required
Sweet disposition with a ranch-type trot
Lives outside 24/7 in a mixed herd and is fed grain once a day

Recently, Strawberry had a pull-back incident where she panicked and almost fell. Due to this, we feel she is best suited for an intermediate home with horse experience. She would do well with an older teen or adult rider who is confident enough to handle taller, forward-moving horses. Strawberry needs her ground manners refreshed and tends to lose them when not worked with at least 2-3 times per week (e.g., pulling on the halter while leading, moving around while being tied).

As for riding, she has a forward trot and enjoys cantering but is not fast enough for the competitive, high speed events. An ideal rider would not be looking for a 1D/2D barrel racer but would appreciate a horse that enjoys trotting and loping during each ride. Strawberry would benefit from being ridden 2-3 times per week to maintain her manners and performance.

We are looking for a great fit for Strawberry but urgently need the space and do not have the time to invest more training into her with other horses coming in. Therefore, we are offering her at a fire sale price of $1,500.

🛟 HELP QUAIL RUN HORSE CENTER 🛟Elkhorn, NE

Yesterday an EF 5 Tornado (if you are not a tornado expert this is classified as catastrophic with > 200 miles winds) landed at Quail Run Horse Center, in Elkhorn, NE during the Hunter/Jumper A show.
Fortunately no human casualties were encountered, but some of the horses have been severely injured and are still being triaged and evaluated by vets at this time.
Some of the show barns, the indoor and a lot of the infrastructures have been destroyed. The orgarnizers and some of the competitors lost everything and the clean up process is going to be daunting.
So we are working on establishing what the immediate needs are as we would like to help them. Some of the horses got trapped in the stalls while others ended up loose and gone for hours.

At this time everybody, horses and humans are safe but this is a big mess and huge material loss for many of them.

We can help by donating to their GoFundMe, all the money will go directly to Quail Run Horse Center.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏🏻
