PERFECT AA PARTNER, JUST PERFECT!

Here is the one everyone is looking for….He is big, beautiful and has a great brain! Julien De Flamenco {Je t’aime Flamenco -Sarvara ( Sanvaro)} is a 2014, imported Oldenburg gelding standing at 17h. He is the perfect age- old enough to know how to behave and still young enough to have a competitive career in the dressage arena.

Lennie (as he is called in the stable) is easy on the eyes, with an incredible personality. Lennie loves the dressage life! He has three quality gaits. His trot is ground covering and comfortable and shows great ability for collection. His canter has clear rhythm and nice jump.

He has a green but clean, easy change. Schooling all of second level and working towards third, he exhibits willingness and ease in his daily work. He is a true pleasure to work with.

Lennie is calm and NOT AT ALL spooky, safe, safe, safe. He is tolerant of a rider’s errors. While he is not exhausting to ride, he is more whoa than go. The same off property as at home!

He could easily be maintained by an adult amateur taking lessons with a professional. Want to hack and gab with your friends? Lennie enjoys a good hack alone or in company and has the same demeanor when ridden in the ring.

He is very sound with with great feet. X rays available to serious buyers. Mid 5’s Located in Oxford PA

Check out this nice review from one of our buyers! We have an active sales program and would love to help your horse find his/ her next great home!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Carrie Butler beginning from a Facebook post about the horse Tucker that she was selling.
I replied to her Facebook post ad about Tucker via messenger. She promptly got in touch with me the next day by phone, which I asked for and truly appreciated as I don’t enjoy texting when it comes to horse sales.
I feel that there is so much to be said and understood through a phone conversation. Carrie’s interaction on the phone was totally professional, honest& kind. We set up a time for me to try him a few days later, as I was traveling from Pittsburgh to Oxford, PA. That was Saturday April 20. I met her at her farm, which upon entry could tell it was immaculately cared for and the horses were very happy and healthy.
She had Tucker all tacked up was very available and professional as I test rode him. With her experience and training of Tucker , she gave me the proper advise as to how he was being trained and what aids to give to help he and I be comfortable with/eachother.
Tucker was totally awesome and he was everything. Carrie said he would be. She was a total professional in the way that she handled everything. Her attention to detail and low pressure sales approach, not asking for a holding fee, etc. made the process and my trust in her even more genuine.
With in the next few days , I came back to try Tucker again along with/my Trainer Amanda Ruane.
There was a mixup and I had the wring address and so we were 1.5 hrs late in the meeting time.
Carrie went out of her way to transport him to Windurra so my trainer could ride him cross country. The whole entire process was seamless except for the mixup in directions, which was totally my fault, yet Carrie managed to make it all work out.
She was efficient and giving me vets . Without any conflict of interest. And I set the vetting up for Tucker on Wed April 24. As expected Tucker had a clean vetting and I was thrilled to be able to purchase him! He is exactly what I was looking for and I can’t wait to see what our future brings. I feel like we have a great partnership already all because of Carrie, her help and her honest advice. I would highly recommend her in the future. For any or sales or training. It was a pleasure to deal with her and I feel fortunate that I can now call her a friend and will always keep in touch. Tucker will have a wonderful life with me, and Carrie was the one that made it all happen.!
Sincerely,

Are you looking for the most amazing, talented, beautiful, sweet gelding all in a compact package??

Well, look no further! YOUR UNICORN awaits you right here! Tucker, an 8 yo ,14.2 h CONNEMARA/TB gelding has an amazing conformation, is comfortable to ride and is a pleasure around the barn in every aspect. You can’t look at him without smiling, he really is such a joy!

Tucker has a nice barrel that takes up his rider’s leg. He moves like a much bigger horse with a nice ground covering gaits. He is enjoyable to ride on the flat and is soft in the bridle with lovely transitions.

A blast to jump and really enjoys it. He has extensive fox hunting experience and has hunted 2nd flight with Cheshire, River Hills and Radnor over the last three years. He is great in the hunt field and very brave to the jumps. He loves to hack out alone or in company. Hacking or hunting, Tucker has no problem keeping up with his larger equine buddies. He fox hunted with his current owner who is a mature adult and has done a couple local shows with a child rider, as well as a starter trail.

Tucker is a high quality pony who could easily excel and be competitive in the sport horse world. I can not say enough about this wonderful pony....come see him for vourself.

He is very well loved, so only the best home is a must. Located in Oxford PA Offered in 5's starting ,with a two. Feel free to call Carrie, Covey Run SportHorses at 267-278-5964 , but don’t wait, he won’t last!!

10/12/2023

Come and scoop this guy up before I do myself!!

We LOVE him. This gelding has IT ALL ~looks, talent, athleticism, brains and the best personality!!
Fred’s Gonefishing is a 2018 Roan/Bay TB G who is 16.1 hands. He ran just 9 times and retired sound. Fred has been let down and was well restarted before arriving at Covey Run to find a new home. His owner has moved into endurance riding and is wanting the typical breed that does that endurance.

Fredo is an uphill, balanced guy who loves to jump. He looks at nothing, keeps a natural rhythm and has great form. He is a blast to jump. Fred is an above average mover and in a good program he will be very competitive in the sand box.

He is naturally soft on the flat and wants to do the flat work with you but he is young and hasn’t been here long, so he is still finding his way in the connection. This horse is talented and trainable and will excel with a young rider or AA in a quality program! He absolutely has scope for the upper levels.

His owner is very motivated. Now is the time to make him you next super star!!
