May is a beautiful, well-built 2020 grey Draft Cross Mare who loves to trail ride. She has logged many trail miles and rides well with other horses and dogs. She could easily be introduced to the hunt field and hounds this fall and we feel would take to it quickly. Many of her relatives have gone on to make phenomenal hunt horses and all-around types. May is still young and learning, so she would be best matched with a confident rider who can be the leader of the partnership.

May is up to date on all vet and farrier care and stands well for all care. May will live in or out, requires no maintenance, and is an easy keeper. She ties, loads, and travels well, and would make a great partner for hunter paces, trail riding trips, etc—a trustworthy mount for someone who likes to go and do!

We are so sad to say goodbye to our Stormy today. Stormy taught countless littles the joy of riding and loving horses, and for that we are forever grateful. We know he is off frolicing in greener pastures ❤️🖼️

Kay is a 2020 grey Georgian Grande mare who is ready to excel in a program. Kay will likely finish out at approx 16hh, she takes up leg and will continue to grow and fill out for a few more years. Kay has extensive trail miles, is at ease with dogs, farm equipment, etc, and is ridden by both Adult Amateurs and Juniors.

Kay has really been coming along well in the ring, learning to stretch and come through the aids. She loves to jump around and will not bat an eye at whatever she is pointed to. We suspect she will make someone a phenomenal hunt horse, event horse, or just a great all-arounder to do it all. Kay recently went to her first schooling show, earning respectable dressage scores, taking in the sights, and showing lots of potential for dressage and eventing.

Kay is up to date on all veterinary and farrier care, stands well for care, ties both straight or cross-tied, and has all the makings of a great mount. Easy to handle, loads and travels well, and lives in or out. Sn**ch her up now before we continue her show career this summer!

Kay had a ball hopping around the ring today. What a fun jump this girl has, and she doesn’t bat an eye at anything you point her to! She would make someone a fabulous eventer to bring up the levels—plenty of jump and fancy footwork for the dressage. Just an all-around solid citizen.

Contact us for her details! Owner is motivated to find her the best home 🏠

We had a great time at MADFest last week, and our only regret is that our own schedules kept us from showing the whole weekend and bringing more horses and people! It was so fun to catch up with old friends, see new faces, and watch some incredible horses. Great learning, new experiences, and lots of motivation for when we return to the horse center in July.

🌟We have two exceptional mares available to the best homes. 🌟

Owners are motivated to sell as 2025 foals begin to make their appearances and are willing to consider REASONABLE offers.

⭐️Ruby is a 2020 (coming five) Georgian Grande mare. Likely to finish maturing around 15.2, she is an eye-catching chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, but lacks the "chestnut mare" behavior! Ruby is forward thinking but very safe and straight forward enough for an amateur.

Ruby has just finished her first season hunting with the Rockbridge Hunt, has logged extensive trail miles, has USDF show experience, enjoys jumping, has been to a combined test with a junior rider…her resume speaks for itself!

⭐️Kay is a 2021 grey Georgian Grande mare who is ready to excel in a program. Approximately 15.3hh, she takes up leg and will continue to grow and fill out for a few more years. We estimate that she will finish 16-16.1hh. Kay has extensive trail miles, is at ease with dogs, farm equipment, etc, and is ridden by both Adult Amateurs and Juniors.

Kay is furthering her knowledge in the ring and is coming along very well and is willing and eager to please. We suspect she will make someone a phenomenal hunt horse, eventer, or even dressage mount. Kay is up to date on all veterinary and farrier care, stands well for care, ties both straight or cross-tied, and has all the makings of a great mount. Easy to handle, loads and travels well, and lives in or out.

We think it’s so important for horses (and riders!) to get out of the ring. Kay enjoys taking in the sights, jumping the things, and even met our Rockbridge Hounds yesterday!

She is a truly lovely beast, and we can’t wait for her to find her person. 🌷
