Swagger got some use today 😊 first a lesson, then trail ride and ended with my young friend (14yo beginner/intermediate) piddling around on him 🥰 he’s going to make someone so happy! Reach out to come meet him 😁

Pretty boy Swagger first time seeing these obstacles and the four wheeler. He's such a good boy! ALSO, this is his first time out of an indoor arena in about 2-3 months i think too and he loved it. :) Check out his album on our page to see more. We will continue to get him out and about to see more of what life has to offer! He's going to make someone such a fun partner.

Swagger

14 yo, grade QH, 14.3hh, 1200lbs, gelding. Great all around prospect here with us on consignment to keep him from sitting. His owner is a beginner and needs something with a little less go. In the right hands, he’s going to be amazing and so much fun! Great Playday prospect or trail rides 😊 he’s hardy and athletic enough for ranch/cow work too. Does all the basics and I’m currently working on giving him more buttons while he’s with me. He’s got a great personality to boot! I will be getting more videos and photos as the weather permits. These are all from the same evening to show basics. I hope to make another video with a lot more to show what else he can do. :)

Foxy Update 02/01.

Two months in and we've accompled two major milestones! Yesterday we were able to trim Foxy's feet for the first time ever! It was a slow process but she did so well. Today, we were able to saddle and sit on her for the first time ever! It's amazing to see what consistency and ground work can do for a barely handled mare.

"Swagger" is a 13 year old, 14.3hh, grade QH gelding, looking for new home!!

- Easy to catch, leads, ties, loads, lunges, stands for farrier (has been shod all around, but is currently barefoot), loves attention, stands to be groomed and saddled and has a fun goofy personality.
- Broke to ride, intermediate rider would work best for him. Beginners amhave ridden him but he can take advantage of them.
- Used to be a family trail horse and was ridden all over, trail rides, arena, etc. A young women bought him as her first horse and he ended up being too much for her with not being an experienced rider and then not riding often enough.
- I am giving Swagger a refresher on everything so he's ready to go with his new family fresh as can be for spring. I will work on adding buttons and desensitizing him to multiple things the longer he's with me. He’s experienced just hasn’t had the right partner or enough rides in the last 6+months.

- CONS: will mount mares in heat if pastured with them, impatient when being tied and on slow trail rides but this has already started improving since i started working with him just a handful of times.

I will be getting good photos and videos of him soon and am able to show him to anyone serious interested.

*Selling for frend while he's in training with me as she's not able to keep him.* She also has a barrel saddle for sell. I believe it's a 14 or 15 inch w/ a round skirt.

Good thing we were able to get Foxy comfortable with a saddle recently or we would never have been able to get a blanket on her before this cold weather. Still can't believe how much progress she had made in just a month!

Foxy Update 01/25

Started the New Year off great! This is the first time Foxy (our APHA) and Tulip (our Fresian) have ever been saddled and they acted like they do it ever day. Not a single hop, buck or flinch while we put the saddles on or while they wore them for the next hour. We had planned on them wearing the saddles for several hours so they could get used to them, but neither of them seemed to care.

In just over a month, Foxy has gone from being unable to catch and halter to wearing a saddle!

Foxy Update 12/28

Today was a major milestone for Foxy! This was the first time she has ever had a saddle on her!... well ok, it's a ba****ck pad ;). Since she has been doing so well, we decided to see how she would act with something on her back. To our surprise, she handled it like a pro. We placed the pad on her back and cinched it snug without any sort of freakouts or fits. She moved around like it wasn't there and wasn't even bothered by the stirrups.

We are planning to try an actual saddle soon.
