To all the Mia fans, here she striking again! This is a little edit of her helping my 73YO BFF (might not be friends anymore after plastering her age all over social media) to get back in the saddle.
My friend took a 5 year break from riding and asked me if I had a horse she could start taking dressage lessons on to get back in the groove.
Mia to the rescue! I knew the princess would be the best and I was right.
BTW doesn’t she looks adorable with the dressage tack on?
Also my friend is a badass because she looked pretty darn good for her first ride back.

Future pony finals contender, ready to step in the greens

Apparently I need to adult and admit that I do not need to own a top of the line fancy small pony.
I bought Waffle last year on an impulse, because well he was cute, moved great and jumped great. But then I realized, I don’t have young kids to ride and show him, oops…
So because we have already established that I‘m an incorrigible hoarder, I decided to keep him.
Here we are a year later, at 48 years old I’m past my expiration date to populate this planet with lil’ riders for Waffle, and USEF is still crushing my dreams by not offering adult pony classes. Yes USEF. You are missing the mark, us middle aged ladies would love to bip bop around speed bump height jumps on partners that are lower to the ground and can babysit us. Start pony classes for adults, and offer wine bottles instead of ribbons. Adult Pony Finals could be a giant mom retreat, with spa, massages and interior design consultations in between the classes. The event would start after brunch and be closed to hubbies and kiddos. Who is in?

Anyway, Waffle needs to find his way to a new owner who can produce him and let him reach his amazing potential.
This 12.2H pony moves a 10, jumps a 10, he is brave, very scopey, has a gianormous stride, will jump ANY filler, no pony tricks.
He is safe but still green so will need a kid and trainer who can finish him.
He is currently located in Belgium.
Full set of X-rays and recent PPE report available.
30 range + import

MYTHBUSTERS, SELLING MIA EDITION

Once again, I’m trying to sell this mare and it seems like Mission impossible. When people ask me why she is still for sale, the only thing I can answer is : “I have no f… clue, because she is literally perfect”. (Scuse my French… well I can actually say this as we all know I‘m French). This is honestly one of the easiest, nicest horses I have had to work with and so I can not understand for the life of me while nobody has pulled the trigger on her yet.

So I decided to go on a mythbusters kind of approach to debunk the myths about the mare.

✅ “I would never buy a mare, they are moody and difficult and have an attitude” (by the way as a woman who has worked in a man dominated field - yeah I had a “regular job” in my early days, I love, love, love to hear people judging my ability to perform in my job based on my uterus. It always puts a smile on my face when people use stereotypes to form an opinion, I really can’t get enough of it.
So here is a video of her “Being a moody mare (she is not on regumate or any mare supplements):

https://youtu.be/wE8JJI1kTHE?feature=shared

✅ “Your ads say the changes are well established, but not auto, so that must mean that she can not get her changes at all”. No, one is auto and you need to ask for the other one. You can’t sit like a sac of potatoes and throw yourself on the inside to get the change, But if you sit straight and use your outside leg “abracadabra” flying change. And if you miss a change once in a while, I promise you, you will survive and even maybe learn to be a better rider by being more balanced. Auto everything is great, but learning to ride properly is not a “horrific” experience.
Video of her showing what we mean by established flying changes (all the actors in this videos were not paid and not professionals) :

https://youtu.be/FY-PJ1ak07U?feature=shared

✅ But what happen if I still miss some of the changes”. Well the good news is that we installed a extra layer of “Ammy/kid proof” protection by training her to land the leads 100% of the time. And to the trainers telling me, I don’t think my client can master landing the leads, it’s too tricky. Come on people, in this case your only job is to put your eyes where you are going.

Video of her landing lead after lead on a figure 8 : https://youtu.be/DCblGw6Gtnw?feature=shared

✅ “You only show pretty videos with a professional but I don’t ride nearly at that level, so therefore she must be too difficult for me”. No we just run a sale barn and so we do try to present our horses at their best :

https://youtu.be/WJCywextktU?feature=shared

But this doesn’t mean that she is only a pro ride, it just means that we do not plaster ammies/juniors missing and chipping as advertising. But here is a more relatable videos involving chips and bad distances.

https://youtu.be/jCG1f9_A18U?feature=shared

✅ “she must have a hard mouth because in one out of 6 or 7 videos she is wearing a pelham, so she must be strong/runaway”
No we just felt that she kept her shape better over the fences with the Pelham but she has a soft mouth and will go in whatever bridle or even halter you want.
So here is a video of the mare being ridden in a halter:

https://youtu.be/7-RDLaOV4y8?feature=shared

✅ “you don’t allow trials/lease off property so it’s a deal breaker for me. First there is nothing you will throw at this mare that will offend her, because I’m one of those “hey this looks sketchy, let me try it” kind of person.
To prove my point here is a video of her indulging our “we watched too much of the Olympics on TV and suddenly we felt we could ride around Versailles on the cross country” day. And yes Mia deserves a gold medal for dealing with our antics.

https://youtu.be/ohKm1oQL6iw?si=8mLuZiggMZd6wX-f

✅ “you said she is a hack winner, but on her show results she didn’t win every single hack”. Newsflash we are talking about hunters, meaning that you rely on the judge’s opinion. You win some, you lose some. But objectively she is a gorgeous mover.

https://youtu.be/_R7Q2CxnpV8?feature=shared

✅ “you say that she is very safe but how safe are we talking about”

Safe enough to allow me to ride bridleless in an open arena, because dumb me decided I was bored and wanted to see what she would do … THAT kind of safe

https://youtu.be/cqum1h0FUjk?feature=shared

So considering that I’m running out of dumb things to do with Mia, that I do not have a clients’ barn so when we go to shows, I have to pay all the bills so I can’t campaign her every week end, I’m at a dead end for the next step.

And yes she is in the high 5 figure range, but really for an 8YO, saintly horse with winning miles in the 3ft, multiple championships, winning hack movement, and potential to jump 3’3 and probably 3’6 … I don’t think we are unrealistic.

PROVEN BIG EQ/DERBY HORSE

If you are more of 'a social butterfly' type rider whose barn time consists of catching up with the gossip, groom, and dote on your horse for hours but mostly hang out at the farm and eventually squeeze a little bit of riding in the midst of your social activities, this is the not the horse for you. You can go back to your taco tuesday barn outings, I will let you know when I have a horse for you.

Roy needs to go to a more hardcore dedicated junior/ammy who thinks that practice makes perfect, and that will go to the barn day after day, rain or shine, to ride, ride, ride.
This 9YO, 16.3H KWPN is not a week-end warrior partner, he is a true show winner who thrives in a routine.
He is the poster child of the big Eq horse and needs the lifestyle of an Eq horse. He has the show record to back up this claims with some wins in the 15-17YO Eq in Wellington, wins in the Maclay, wins in the "insert name of the alphabet medals", and wins in the derby.
While he would have no problem showing in the Large Jr hunter/3'6 AO, we feel that his strong suit is the Eq ring.
He is easy and very brave to the jump and will forgive the rider's mistakes. So he is great horse to learn on.

He has had extensive training and knows his job.

At shows, he will need to be in program and will need some prep (flat in the ring he will show in, slight longe on Day1, and just flat by day 2). Then he should be good to go for the following days/weeks.

He is easy to deal with on the ground, travels well and will make a great addition to any program who wants a competitive 3ft/3'6 Equitation derby horse.

Mid to high five range (would consider lease in the mid five).

Will pass PPE (minor x-rays remarks that require yearly injections)

Video showing in a derby with a 1m/1m10 jumper amateur who woke up the morning of the show and decided she wanted to play hunter princess and hopped on him as the 1st rider in the ring - she only had ridden him twice before, once on the flat and once over a 6 jumps as a “jump-school” ; https://youtu.be/K54ZphH_kYo?si=Oz3VBg5MOS4tYON3

To my taco Tuesdays/bottom less margaritas crowd, who likes to ride but at a slower/less involved pace, I have a horse coming up soon for you. Stay tuned and cheers!

RED TAG EVENT AFTER X-RAY FINDINGS

Ok so if you are one of those people who believe that when we say pretty on the outside and pretty on the inside, means that X-rays should always look textbook, move on.

If you are one of those people who puts more value on the actual clinical part of the exam, then keep on reading.
This flashy boy just got vetted and passed the clinical (flexions, longing in the soft, longing on hard ground, neuro exam) with flying colors. Like could win the hack on a 15m circle on the concrete type kind of situation.
Vet found 2 areas with remarks, both of them deemed to never be an issue for future soundness. Areas of concern will not need any “maintenance” or become a chronic issues with age. It’s just there, it will always be there and will be a non issue for the next 20 years of his lifespan.
One of the 2 findings could technically be removed in cosmetic surgery way.

But this could hinder his “resale” value because nowadays pretty x-rays are a thing.
So if you have always dreamed of owning a very pretty hack winning horse, with an amazing brain, and an adorable jump with 3’6 potential in the future, send us a message.

OPENING AT EQUISALE

Well, I have been on roll the past couple of weeks and sold 4 horses and have 4 pending sales.
So this means that we have an opening at the farm to take a horse in consignment.
If you have a horse you have been trying to sell, kid heading to college (we do not sell kids but will sell the horse the kid can’t ride anymore), we will be happy to assist you.
Horses are ridden 7 days/week can been shown all the way to Grand Prix and at any level while they are being marketed. And then you get to read one of my infamous ads about your horse!
Feel free to send us a message to get all the details.

1m50 packer, who can take anybody over any height, casually jumping 1m80

OK you know when some horsey friends or students tell you that they want to jump/show 1m30/1m40 or ride at the Grand Prix level. And you nod and smile, and in your head you go “no f…. way will you ever jump more than 1m20”.
Well … way …
Here comes the most honest/badass GP horse in the universe. Is he the winner, nope, is the super competitive at the 1m40+ level, not really.
Can he pack anybody’s a… over monster jumps and not blink an eye. You bet!
This horse is the ultimate packer to get miles at the 1m30+ level, including 1m50.
If you have the balls to strap yourself on this guy he will cart you around the $200,000 WEC GP under the lights in no time.
He is game, game, game, and the scope is like mimosas on a Sunday Brunch : unlimited.
He is 12YO, don’t be agist, there is no 8YO brave enough to deal with this kind of job, so experience will come handy when you fudge the in of the triple. He is on the tall side 17Hish, plain brown, not super stylish over fences, but this is the most bad ass creature we have had in a long time.
He is currently in France. Am I going to bring him here. The answer is no.
But why don’t you if he is so great?
Well my rider can find the jumps just fine so she doesn’t need a schoolmaster, and I do not jump myself. So if I’m going to bring one over, I’m would rather bring a less user friendly one that my rider can be competitive on than a “one rail packer”.
But again my set up is not average and so if I was shopping for a client, he would be on top of my list.
Mid to high five figure range import included

Flashy hack winning green hunter prospect

First the horse is located in France (yes, the country where the Olympics are being held in the next couple of weeks). The very same country my husband imported me from.
So do not ask me if I would do a paid trial, or a lease to buy or anything. The horse is in a different continent.

So now that this is out of the way, for those of you willing to either travel abroad or pull the trigger off a video, you can proceed.

As many of you already know, I am a hoarder and my spirit animal is a squirrel. I get my hands on all the flashy warmbloods I can find and then stash them in Europe.
Well, I have stashed too many and so I need to let one go.
Meet Nirvana the handsome hack winning 6YO, 16.3H pinto.
This boy is not only flashy but he was born to be a hunter. He is dead quiet, has a big step, cute form over fences and zero spook.
He has been in a hunter “program” for the past year and he is ready to get his green card!
He has changes but he can be on the lazy side, so you still need to give him a little kick into the changes to get them.
He has an easy jump and will make a super ammy/junior horse with a trainer to bring him along.
He has done a handful of smaller jumper shows but nothing too exciting as the goal was to produce him as a hunter.

Stunning hack winning 3ft green hunter, comfy, safe, brave and no spook.

Ok there are a few things I do not understand in life : calculus, the imperial measurement system with all the body parts feet, hands, inches (I was raised in metric heaven) and why I haven’t sold Mia.
For real I have had this mare forever and there is nothing wrong with her. She is literally perfect.
And you know me, I don’t sugar coat anything.
But I’m at loss as to why Mia is still hanging out with me in Port Orange, FL.
Come on, she is not even chestnut! Zero excuses. And no we do not give her hormones (she is the most level headed of the bunch).

This 8YO (golden age), 16H+ (will measure as a big small junior) super comfy, sweet and cuddly mare with stellar ground manners is an amateur/junior’s dream. She is brave to the jump, will never look, peek or question a jump or a distance.
We typically don’t even bother to do a warm up round at the shows because she is just all business and super reliable. No prep either.

She can hack anywhere, would make a super lower level dressage partner.

She has an incredible USEF show record (5840848 - ESH LEVONIA).
She is not only pretty on the outside but she is also pretty on the inside (and yes I mean that she is sweet but also that even her X-rays are stunning).

So please somebody, come to get your unicorn, she is ready to go.

Well, we have a match!

Following our disappointing show at WEC and after deciding to give her horse the summer off, my daughter had her first ride on Roy.
This amazing 3’6 winning Eq horse was absolutely perfect for her flat lesson.
If you are looking for an amazing schoolmaster for any job from the 2’6 to the 3’6 this is your guy.
Roy is a 9YO, KWPN 16.3H gelding.
I have tons of videos with his owners and will make some new ones in the next few days at my farm.
So excited for the opportunity to show this boy in 2 weeks.

ISO, GP rider/3’6 hunter rider to work as a full time rider and campaign string of horses all over the US… Asking for a friend

So again, the Equisale team doesn’t have any openings at the moment (don’t contact my staff to ask them why they are fired, THEY ARE NOT!!!! - mark my word somebody will text my staff with a : what happened???). Anyway, a good friend of mine is looking for somebody take over her string of show horses.

Applicants will need to be able to jump 1m30/1m35 as some of the horses are currently showing at the Grand Prix level. And should be able to clock around the 3’6 performance/derbies as well.
This position involves a LOT of showing, and could involve showing at indoor,s Las Vegas and a full Florida winter circuit. This is a gipsy lifestyle, so if you are a home buddy with a family, probably not the right fit.
Ok so before you all flood my inbox, the cool thing about this job is that it is a killer opportunity to put your name on the map and it’s as close as it gets to finding a sponsor to finance your teenage dream of being a horse show rider.
Now onto the bad stuff, the pay is crap. So your accommodation, meals at shows, saddles and some of your equipment will be paid for, and you will get some money to help pay for your phone, and basic needs but this is not a money making career. This is a “I’m young, I want to make a name for myself in the horse World”/stepping stone type of opportunity, before opening your own business or working for a top farm. If you are a Karen and want to p**p on my parade, and tell me that the horse industry sucks and that people should be fairly paid for their time and that slavery is abolished. Yes to all of the above Karen, you are correct. Now move on. Horses are really expensive and showing horses is just a whole new level of financial burden. So we are all trying to make it work with what we have, and mostly what we don’t have. If you think this is a sh*tty job offer, don’t apply, plain in simple, no need to argue in the comments.

Your boss is going to be cool. She is super fun, nice and so you will be treated with respect.
You will need to look at google maps to know where the home base is because it’s smack in the middle of bumf**k nowhere. Might not be to the liking of my Wellington princesses, more cornfields than Gucci stores in the area.

This is a small breeding/sale barn operation, so applicants need to be comfortable riding a big variety of horses.

Contact me and I will pass along

Picture for attention only because he is cool looking. We sold him 8 years ago…

7YO with GP potential and 1m30 miles looking for new zip code and attitude adjustment

Ok so first the picture is just for attention, the actual horse is chestnut but would like to remain anonymous.

Story time : family in the US with 2 talented successful kids decides to try their hand at importing horses and purchase horse in Europe off a video.
Seller in Europe grossly misrepresents said horse. Horse is VERY talented and will jump the big GP for sure, but is not kid friendly.
Horse arrives in the US with massive ulcers, ulcers go untreated for a while, horse behavior worsens.
Ulcers get treated, horse is now fine most of the times (like in weeks at times), but has the kid’s number and trainer doesn’t really want to deal with the horse.
Nobody lives happily ever after…
THE END

So here is the situation, these former clients of mine own a horse who has talent up to his ears but the horse can act like a complete brat in a “I‘m not really gonna go forward when I don’t feel like it” kind of way. So he will randomly stop when you run out of quarters and try the hoppy thing on his back legs to add some pizazz. It’s kind of a rear, but not a ultra committed Hi Ho Silver one. Just a if I lift my front feet off the ground, I’m done kind of trick.
Horse is super smart. My take is that he needs to go to boot camp for a few weeks/months. It’s not a stopping at the jump issue, it’s not a gate issue. It’s a I don’t feel like it issue.
Kid is 14 and wants to get miles in the 1m/1m10 or do some Eq and so this is not a good match. She needs a simpler horse with less talent.
People are willing to do a trade. Possible sale as well.
So if you are a good rider who can tackle a good challenge and you have a horse who is nice but limited, this might work out.
Open to a lot of creative solutions.
I have a ton of videos including the naughty stuff.

THIS HORSE IS NOT AT MY FARM, all my ponies are good. And I didn’t sell this horse either. Just trying to help a family who got to experience the shadiness of the horse industry first hand. And frankly I think the horse is cool and could be a good project for an experienced/bold rider so there is that.

Send private message. And feel free to share or tag all your crazy friends/trainers who always fall for the bad boys/toxic equine relationships.

ISO part time horse snuggler/groom/working student

We are hiring a part time groom/exercise rider, and when we say part time we don’t mean horse industry part time (12 hours out of 24 hour day) we mean 2 half days/week (AM or PM) and half days on week end.
This is a position for Port Orange, FL (so while this seems perfect for you, if you live in Colorado or in Rhode Island, this will not work out. And yes I understand you wish we were closer). So applicants need to le located in central Florida to make this work.
Job includes but not limited to :
Mucking 11 stalls, water, turn out. This job can also include riding (mostly flat) if you are experienced enough.
We pay fairly.
Person needs to be able to get the job done without constant supervision. This job doesn’t require a rocket scientist PhD, but you will need to pay attention to detail and be motivated.
This is not a glamorous job, sweating shoveling manure in the middle of the Florida heat, is anything but Instagram cute.
BUT you will be part of a cool team, working with some amazing horses and gaining experience working for a top A show barn.
This job could work for a college student, high school student, mom who wants to side job to get away from the kids and relive her teenage horse phase, semi retired person wanting to hang out with horses, …

SALE PENDING

Talented 1m30 horse with winning miles in the jumpers and in dressage

Raise your hand if you like doing flatwork… if you are a closet DQ (dressage Queen) and enjoy a very light, uphill, comfy and supple horse, day after day and flatwork is really a big part of your riding journey, look no further.
This guy is impeccably trained. So much so that he won everything at his first rated dressage show with scores in the mid 80s.
And yes he could move up the levels and become an amazing dressage horse. Bring on the bling and the patent leather boots and shine bright like a Diamond! And yes, you my little hunter divas with your plain brown bridles and conservative attire, I know it hurts you a little bit inside to just picture all those sparkles.
BTW, he is simple enough on the flat to tolerate any level rider. Like he will happily plop around with an older timid amateur or a young child.

Now let’s talk about the jumping part of his resume. He just jumped his last 13 rounds clear. Yup, you read this right. As a matter fact he won two 1m classes at Venice a month ago.
In Europe he showed up to 1m30 with room to spare and is currently schooling 1m20/1m25 at home.
He has been showing lower levels lately, since him and his current owner didn’t click and it set him back a little.
Current owner did the whole mail order bride thing, buying him sight unseen in Europe and this was a disaster.
So him and his owner have officially divorced and he lives at my house, while he waits for a new partner.
He does better with a rider who can hold his hand a little bit. He likes a leg to hand ride. He is not a big fan of the Peek a boo, take off your legs and drop in the last stride, move. As a trainer, I’m not a big fan of it either.
Plan is to do the 1m10/1m15 at the next show.
We think he should be back to 1m30 by next spring.
He is not a spooky horse but he is a tad quirky/ weird with stuff on the ground, like puddles, patches of dirt, different colored dirt. Here is a video for a visual : https://youtu.be/ustuqxNILJc?si=-AQVYNRicfxL-31P

No we are not ready to give him away because he doesn’t like funny things on the ground, as far as I’m concerned they are no shows of walking through some funny things on the ground, so this kind be easily worked around (no eventing, no trail classes), problem solved.

Not sure about the hunter thing, we have never tried to do hunters with him, but with a flowers boxes being on the ground it might be an issue. But again I have never tried, so maybe he would be a star. We are not interested in trying, but you can buy him and experiment all you want. And yes he does jump all the flower boxes at my farm.

Would owner lease him? Would you want to lease your ex and keep him/her in your life? Yeah that’s what I thought. We are at the let’s block each other everywhere and never deal with each other, stage of the relationship. So no lease.

Romeo is a 16.2.H, Swedish warmblood gelding, he will vet and is located in Port Orange, FL - upper Mid five range

Dat face!
Soft launch of the newest addition at EquiSale. This 7YO gelding will be heading to Florida in a few days from France.
His name is ”Ideal” … pretty fitting, but he still needs a barn name.
And yes, we will be installing cameras around the farm to make sure he doesn’t disappear in the middle of the night. I’m watching you ladies👀.
And to all of you ready to jump in my DMs, yes he is available, but let me play my little pony with my new import for at least a week or 2 before you take him away.
I will post updated pictures and videos when he is ready to find his new home end of July.

ISO a 3ft/3’3 horse somebody is fed up to pay bills on

Hold on, do not throw your horse in the trailer right away, read first.
We currently have a stall opening for a sale horse and we are offering to pay for all the expenses (board, farrier, vet, show bills, treats, you name it… it’s all on me).
Horse will be getting training rides 4 days/week with a grand prix rider. The other 3 days horse will be ridden by a very talented and accurate 3ft junior rider.
Horse will be shown by both the pro and the junior while being marketed.
Ideally the horse’s strong suit would be the Equitation. Open to a hunter/Eq type or jumper/Eq type.
Horse can not have a stop. The junior is very accurate but already has a dirty stopper, so we don’t need another one.
Horse can’t be too big as the rider is on the small/petite side (yeah yeah yeah I’m sure your 17.2H horse rides like a pony and is very easy, but for real, we need to stay under 16.3H).

This is a super opportunity for somebody who needs a change of zip code to get more traffic for potential clients, for parents with a kid going to college who would love to not have to pay the equivalent of a $3,000,000 mortgage on an emotional herbivore.
Could also work for a horse coming back from an injury who needs to reestablish a show record.
Might consider a younger horse with a fabulous brain, but when I say green, I still expect the horse to be clocking around 3ft without batting an eye.
Not talking about a 5 YO whose jumping experience is “jumping out of his pasture twice” and flying changes are performed when he zig zags spooking at stuff.

Might also need a 1m10 jumper version of the same offer for a different rider.

Horse will be located in Port Orange, FL and will be marketed and for sale the entire time it is with us. Not trying to get a long term free lease (I mean I would entertain that) but I’m dedicated to really try to sell said horse as fast as possible. We could also take a horse in that is not for sale but whose owner is pregnant, divorcing, lost their job, working overseas or dealing with medical issues.

To all the negative Nelly who are going to jump at my throat telling me that such horses lease for a lot of money and I’m unrealistic to try to get one for free. Step 1, mind your own business.
Step 2, we are a very successful sale barn and this is a fair exchange as the client will be getting a very good deal. Horses are expensive and getting rid of the monthly bills with a horse in a top program can be very valuable.
Win win.

OK Facebook fam’, I need your help. If “you know a guy who knows a guy” who would provide a fake passport for a horse, I am in! Send email to [email protected]

Ok jokes aside, Couscous was technically sold after passing a throughout PPE last Friday with an international vet who came from Wellington. Drug screen cleared on Wednesday and wire was supposed to be issued yesterday.
But buyers are not comfortable buying a horse who doesn’t have an “actual” passport. I have his bloodlines (pictures of his offspring - yeah Couscous was bred when he was younger), microchip, people in Canada who have known the horse his entire life, but the breeders passed away before actually registering him. Couscous ended up as part of an estate sale and is now unpapered.
Buyers who wanted him for the big Eq are concerned about his resale value after he does the big Eq if he doesn’t have papers and backed out.

So if anybody is looking for a very fancy and kind 3 ring horse with a super potential for the big Eq ring, this guy is back on the market for no fault of his own.
On the bright side, we are 100% sure he will pass a vetting.

He will be showing in the Hunters and the Eq at WEC next week and available for trials then.

To all the Mia fans, here she striking again! This is a little edit of her helping my 73YO BFF (might not be friends anymore after plastering her age all over social media) to get back in the saddle. My friend took a 5 year break from riding and asked me if I had a horse she could start taking dressage lessons on to get back in the groove. Mia to the rescue! I knew the princess would be the best and I was right. BTW doesn’t she looks adorable with the dressage tack on? Also my friend is a badass because she looked pretty darn good for her first ride back.

SOLD 1m50 packer, who can take anybody over any height, casually jumping 1m80 OK you know when some horsey friends or students tell you that they want to jump/show 1m30/1m40 or ride at the Grand Prix level. And you nod and smile, and in your head you go “no f…. way will you ever jump more than 1m20”. Well … way … Here comes the most honest/badass GP horse in the universe. Is he the winner, nope, is the super competitive at the 1m40+ level, not really. Can he pack anybody’s a… over monster jumps and not blink an eye. You bet! This horse is the ultimate packer to get miles at the 1m30+ level, including 1m50. If you have the balls to strap yourself on this guy he will cart you around the $200,000 WEC GP under the lights in no time. He is game, game, game, and the scope is like mimosas on a Sunday Brunch : unlimited. He is 12YO, don’t be agist, there is no 8YO brave enough to deal with this kind of job, so experience will come handy when you fudge the in of the triple. He is on the tall side 17Hish, plain brown, not super stylish over fences, but this is the most bad ass creature we have had in a long time. He is currently in France. Am I going to bring him here. The answer is no. But why don’t you if he is so great? Well my rider can find the jumps just fine so she doesn’t need a schoolmaster, and I do not jump myself. So if I’m going to bring one over, I’m would rather bring a less user friendly one that my rider can be competitive on than a “one rail packer”. But again my set up is not average and so if I was shopping for a client, he would be on top of my list. Mid to high five figure range import included

Featuring Roy the very best boy, Big Eq wonder, Ariat medal wannabe, low adult champion deluxe. Cameo of ESH Shake and Bake, the moody jumper. I can not say enough good things about Roy. If you are on the market for a fancy and competitive yet, forgiving hunter/Eq horse to do any job from the 2’6 to 3’6, this is your guy!Also he is now a TikTok/Insta influencer. Slay.

Well, we have a match! Following our disappointing show at WEC and after deciding to give her horse the summer off, my daughter had her first ride on Roy. This amazing 3’6 winning Eq horse was absolutely perfect for her flat lesson. If you are looking for an amazing schoolmaster for any job from the 2’6 to the 3’6 this is your guy. Roy is a 9YO, KWPN 16.3H gelding. I have tons of videos with his owners and will make some new ones in the next few days at my farm. So excited for the opportunity to show this boy in 2 weeks.

Best first jumper type with top placing all the way to 1m20 Where are you my amateurs or juniors wanting to try the jumpers? Maverick is ready to show you the ropes. He is fast (but not so fast that it gets scary... the good kind of fast where he will take you to the jump). His style with his head a tad up at all type will give you a sense of safety, you know like some sort of dash board. Yup so in that “oh crap moment, I made a really bad decision, my life is flashing in front of my eyes, then you can push yourself back. Uphill horses are a lifesaver, trust me. He is quite careful and jumps liverpools and whatever. He is happy to jump anything from the 0.65m to the 1m20 and has a excellent recent show record to prove it. Auto changes, auto distance only thing you will have to do for your part is to remember the course and red on right and white on left. Of and breathe.

AND THIS IS WHY HORSE PEOPLE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS If you don’t want to hear about 1st World problems, and a grown a… woman vent, skip this and wait till tomorrow to resume our regular programming of pretty ponies we like to drool on. If you are interested in why the horse industry is heading to the point of no return, buckle up. So yesterday, I published a post on several social media platforms to offer a talented junior the opportunity to catch ride 2 extremely fancy horses who could use miles in the Equitation ring. Each one being worth the price of a starter home in rural Midwest, just to put it in real people perspective. Silly me, thinking : “wow I would have killed to be able to ride those types of horses for free when I was a kid”. Well apparently I’m a selfish meanie who wants to profit off innocent children. How is this for a plot twist? So it all started because one person commented (not on FB): what’s the pay? Just those 3 words … what’s the pay? So I was trying to picture in my head that if I was meeting any horse person in real life and I said : Here you can ride this horse, I will give you some free lessons on him, then I will take him to the horse show, my pro will ticket him and school him, then she will show him day 1 to make sure he is a 100% ready for you, pay a braider, groom the horse and take care of his needs, and all you have to do is show up, get on. I will coach you for your classes and you can ride in several classes. That the first 3 words that would tumble out of your mouth would be : what’s the pay? What kind of alternate reality do we live in? So blunt me pointed out in a sarcastic way that said person was delusional. Then it all went to sh*t from there… So here is some of the things I was told by some complete strangers : You really have a bad attitude. Ok that one I actually had to agree with them and told them they were correct… Hubby said : “if only they knew” with a big sigh. But seriously I wo

People are going to think we have a serious HR problem at EquiSale Anyway, we have 2 very fancy amazing young horses (both 7YO) who need miles in the Equitation classes. So we are looking for a talented junior rider to show them. DO NOT CONTACT ME to lease them, to ask me to ship them to your amazing trainer who is so good she/he farts rainbow. THOSE HORSES WILL NOT LEAVE MY CARE UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN SOLD. I’m sorry if you live in California and it’s too far for you to benefit from this opportunity , and I’m even more sorry if you live in North Dakota. Ok so my farm is located in Port Orange, Florida. Junior rider will be expected to come to sit on the horses and school a few times before showing. While they are well trained, they are not “made” and will require some time to click and perform at their best. One has a big jump and the other one is sensitive so needs a quiet rider with a good feel. They are both ready to step in the 3ft/3’3ft and could move up to the 3’6 if the stars align. We will only be showing in Florida. Riders who want to apply need to have extensive experience riding different types of horses and be able to actually make a horse better and not just expect the horse to do everything for them. We don’t need a blind leading the blind scenario. So if you are thinking about applying do not ask your parents, your grand parents or your barn BFF if they think you are good enough to do it. They will say yes. Then I will call your trainer and ask about you and she/he will say : awww, Bless her heart. Trust me you do not want to be ”Bless her hearted”. So actually ask your trainer if they think it would be a suitable opportunity and then apply. We are a fun group and those 2 horses are very special! I will need videos to assess your riding and if I say no, please don’t take it personally. Just keep working hard and prove me wrong!

FILLED ISO OF A WORKING STUDENT So one of our team members has been benched for a few weeks for some health issues. So we are one person short to run our operation. So we are looking for a working student to come to help us for a few weeks, can’t really say how many exactly as it depends on what the doctors have to say. Job includes a lot of riding on some fancy/nice horses, but this is not a “princess” opening so the applicant will be expected to do barn work and chores. Accommodation and a salary are provided, 2 days off. Needs to have reliable transportation, good work ethic and be an experienced rider. Right candidate could do some showing… slow down, take the sun glasses and Samshield off, and read the following statement. When I say some showing might be involved I do not imply that I’m looking to send a string of 8 horses including GP horses and green hunters to show day after day in Wellington. It means that you could take one or 2 horses for a few days at HITS. This is a working student position. First word is working so you will have to put in the hours, second word is student so it’s a great opportunity to learn and spend some quality time in Florida in March. Location is Port Orange, FL (don’t text me to ask me where this is, if you can’t use Google map to find a town, this job is not for you). Don’t ask me how long, I have no clue but 3 week to 6 weeks would be my guess. Send DM or text +15867702610 to apply.

I can’t even put into words how much joy this horse has brought to our lives. From finding a washed up ex Grand Prix stallion in Sweden, to watching him taking @kyclarkson41 to her very first Grand Prix, to him showing us that horse can still improve and get betterat 16YO. Thanks Chino, i don’t know what we did to deserve you, but you certainly make life better. This unreal horse has jumped every single Grand Prix clear since June. Ending 4th at Terranova and 2nd yesterday under the lights @foxleafarm at his last 2 shows. And to all the people who will ask me if he is for sale, he is not, he is a horse of a lifetime and he is the horse of MY lifetime. Can’t wait to watch you jump many more classes, Old Man. Love you so much.

Special thanks to my team, family, clients and of course the horses for making 2023 an amazing year! Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings us!

I’m floored that nobody has snatched up this dream horse yet. I can’t believe that there is not a single rider who needs a Saintly/safe partner to learn riding and jumping with the best teacher there is. And I’m floored that people would care more about the X-rays than actual soundness and longevity. This horse is worked 7 days a week, has been showing regularly, still people will not take it in account. Fascinating …

When you go on vacation with your family, in the middle of some national parks with zero cell service , and you come back to civilization to watch your 3 ring horse sale horse being “trained” by the junior rider you left him with while you were gone… You see when I say Donnie is a Saint I mean it! This horse just finished 3rd of a $5,000 derby with scores in the high 80s, claimed the championship in the 2’3 Eq division with a junior, was champion in the low adult jumpers and is now a circus pony. Please somebody come and get this horse, he is the bomb!

When you are victim of the Target effect and end up with a pony. As many of you know, we specialize in horses at EquiSale. We don’t like ponies, we have lost money on every single pony we have tried to flip and in general when people inquire about ponies, I always say, never buy a pony from us, we suck at it. Well, guess who just bought a pony… yeah, THIS girl did. Do I need a pony? Nope. Do I want a pony? Double Nope. Do I hate ponies? Yup. So how did I end up with a pony, you may ask. Well it’s because of the Target effect. Lemme explain. You go to Target with one goal only, buy some deodorant. You start shopping and end up grabbing new bedding, a cinnamon candle and then you stumble across the teal waffle maker. Do you need a waffle maker? Absolutely not. Do you eat waffles? Nope, unless you are at the 6 am breakfast at the Holiday Inn at the horse show. Do you cook? nope … duh you have horses so no time for being Martha Stewart. So you do not need the teal waffle maker. What is in your cart, the flipping waffle maker. Did you buy the toothpaste? No you didn’t, you forgot of course! So I was looking at 5am at videos of potential hunters and jumpers to import, and I am now the proud owner of a 5YO, 12.1H warmblood pony who hopefully will be a pony final contender. Welcome to the Fam’ ESH Waffle Maker (aka waffle around the barn). Off to the tack shop to buy pony stuff now …

First ride on our new 1m40 jumper, and he was the most perfect boy. This guy who just got out of quarantine yesterday still needs a name… Any ideas? His passport says : All Way de Boncourt.

We had a great week of showing @hitshorseshows … very proud of all the horses and riders. Highlights : Chino clear in the welcome, Zach double clear in the 1m35 Open Prix, Mia champion in the 2’6 hunters, Humphrey 4th in the 3’6 greens and a good round in the $50k international derby, Donnie champion in the low amateur jumpers, Zach winner in the 1m10 adult amateur. Good job team. Off to sell a kidney to afford the next show!

We got to take the ponies to Wellington today and have some fun. Lots of sunshine and learning. Special thanks to @annekursinski for an other amazing lesson. Looking forward to coming back to show next week! We might have picked up a little stowaway while we were there, stay tuned for the big reveal!

Our new jumper needs a barn name! His French name is Quel Cœur (what a heart) and we can’t call him Cupid. So we are opened to ideas!
