Meteor also jumped for the first time today. He's a really nice project for an experienced rider 🥰
Got some more video of American Livin today. Some people have been waiting 😄 Here you go! Will upload some more later for a full video, including leg yields and shoulder in.
How cute is this guy 🤩🤩 4yr old 16 hand gelding by American Freedom X Proud Citizen. He sold for $130k as a 2yr old but didn't do too well in his 6 attempts on the track and was unplaced in all starts. This guy is smart and talented and could be anything in his next career. Full video will be up later this week but send us a message if you want to see more and I can send longer video 😍
This guy checks the boxes of what most people ask for!
Tall: 17.2
Bay gelding: ✅️ Super shiny too!
Chrome: 3 socks and a star and tiny stripe
Flashy: Yes, 3 nice gaits already right off the track!
Green but safe: Biggie has about 6 rides off the track so far, he walk/trot/canters nicely with good steering and breaks.
No vices: None, sweet guy who stands perfectly in the cross ties and for the farrier.
Budget friendly: Yes, mid 4s.
I know we won't get to keep him long so we're trying not to get too attached to him!
New jumping video of Kadar! Our super adorable Arabian. He's a talented and super willing guy! He just learned his changes a couple rides ago and he's so smart! 😍🤩😍🤩
New jumping video of Frasard! Frasard is really hoping to find his own person! He is talented, sweet and a little quirky. He got tried by a kid last week and he absolutely loved her and we hope they come back for him but we have to keep our options open of course. He is 7yrs old, imported from the UK. Good sized thicker built 16.2 hands.

Legend 🥰🥰 Super horse for someone looking for a quality warmblood on a budget. Currently only t.w.e.n.t.y.k but will increase with show experience. No tire kickers please!
Legend jumping today. This is how easy he is with a new rider. Calm, steady, willing and also talented. Legend is a 5yr old westfalen gelding. He is t.w.e.n.t.y.k until he goes to his first show next weekend!
Kid out for a hack 🥰 The first few times we took Kid out on the trails she was jiggy and nervous so we told people she may not make a great trail horse. Now after a few more months of training she goes out on the buckle and is very safe around vehicles and machines (today we passed a Bobcat digging, a tractor pulling a big trailer, loud sprinkers, some other farm vehicles and yearlings running in their pasture). She is available for adoption. She could go in any direction but we don't see her as an upper level prospect but perfect hobby horse.

Available! Legend is a 5yr old 16.1 Westfalen gelding (Landkönig bloodlines). Super sweet and willing personality. Loves attention and anyone can ride him. Big mover and very safe! Barefoot and easy keeper. Low 5 figures. Please serious inquiries only!
First ride off the track for Percolate 🥰
I'm sharing this because I have seen some negative posts about TBs lately.
One person said she is used to falling off because she rides green OTTBs...ok, not true. I have fallen off ONE thoroughbred in my entire career of restarting OTTBs. They are used to being ridden since they are little babies. In my limited experience of restarting over 150 TBs, they are not usually good at bucking, I've seen less than 5 rear, maybe two have bolted, two chestnut geldings have kicked out at leg pressure (sorry boys but I'm just stating my experience, love you!). But overall; they are all so willing and listen to their riders better than most young horses of other breeds. And trust me, I love my warmbloods 🥰
The other day, I saw another post where someone lost their TB to colic, and stated that TBs come with a lot of issues. I feel super bad their horse died; colic is no joke and I lost my very special mare on the table during colic surgery, she was a warmblood. TBs are not more prone to colic than any other breed. Again, in my limited career, I've taken 3 very well bred warmbloods to the hospital for colic, and zero of the mild colics presented in any TB that's come through the barn needed more than pain meds or at most a quick visit from the vet. Losing a horse to sudden colic is beyond sad, so again, I'm so sorry.
Thoroughbreds are extremely willing creatures in my experience. They only ever have issues if they get scared or extremely confused, or their attempt to show pain is ignored/punished. Other than that, they are just there to please whoever is willing to give them a chance. They come in all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and so on, so you cannot compare them, each one is individual and you have to work with what you have!
I understand this video is pretty boring and nothing special at all, but that is how a ride on a brand new horse should be. Keep it short and sweet, see if they respond to leg and steering and if the br
Always good vibes with Spanglish 👑
