HAYY. Let's talk.

When selecting hay for your horses, there are 3 things to consider.

1. Color and Smell: The most common test is by the color and smell of your bales. Hay should be shades of green and smell slightly sweet. Watch for a moldy smell and dark brown stems.
2. Leaf:Stem Ratio: While leaves are generally where the nutrition is stored making alfalfa the better quality of hay, you need a balance between leaves and stems to create a well rounded base of nutrition. Too much alfalfa can cause serious health issues, while not enough will need to be supplemented with grain or an alfalfa pellet to ensure proper calorie intake. When feeding in high volume, having a high quality hay (alfalfa and clover) with low exercise, may result in laminitis or other health concerns. However, having too low quality hay may result in underfeeding creating thin horses.
3. Types of Hay: Grass hays (Timothy and Orchard) usually provide a foundation of nutrition. The higher legumes (alfalfa and clover) have higher energy content. Your type of hay should closely reflect your horse's discipline and workout schedule.

Other things to consider: volume of hay (round bales vs. square), season, average temperature outside.

Oliver Freckles (Ollie) is an extremely good-looking, smokey buckskin, 3 year old gelding! He is the ideal size standing at 14.2HH. This guy has all the moves! He’s got light cues, dependable neck rein, and a soft, yet quick back. He lopes collected and has a level headset. Ollie is more woah than go and would be great for advanced beginner riders.

Ollie has experience out on the trails while also spending hours in the arena. He is comfortable walking over logs, ditches, and poles. He is comfortable with mares, geldings, mini donkeys, and dogs! He is towards the bottom of the herd order and will do whatever he can to please those around him.

Ollie stands for tacking, mounting, grooming, clipping and bathing. He loads and hauls easily, and will stand patiently tied for hours. Oliver will pick up his own feet for the farrier making him amazing to trim and shoe.

If you are looking for your next trail partner, 4H participant, western pleasure potential or just a good quiet horse to have around the farm, Ollie is the one for you!

🕺💥 Put A Boogie In It 🕺💥

🕺 AQHA: https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/put+a+boogie+in+it
💥 Yearling
🕺 Gray Gelding
💥 Extensive Ground Work
🕺 No Vices
💥 100% Sound

Boogie is a handsome gray AQHA yearling gelding. This guy has quite the pedigree! On the top side, he is by Diamond A Andy by Diamond A Gunner that goes back to Boonlight Dancer. On the bottom side, he is out of Stacys Playgun by Lets Play Guns by Real Gun.

If you’re looking for a calm, gentle, and sweet prospect here he is! Boogie is an in your pocket guy which makes him one of the favorites in the barn. He is safe for the whole family to be around even for his young age. Boogie has spent many hours being handled, desensitized and worked. He has round pen and arena exposure and has been ponied out on the trails. Boogie leads, yields hind and forequarters, lunges both directions in a roundpen and on a lunge line and has even been saddled with a lightweight pony saddle. He has never offered to buck, kick, bite, or rear under saddle or on the ground. Boogie has shown no signs of being cinchy. He has had light pressure on each stirrup but due to his age, has not been mounted. He also flexes comfortably while wearing a bridle or halter and will sidepass against a wall.
In the arena, Boogie has experience with small jumps, walking over fences and poles. He is currently working on sending while going over small jumps. Outside, he is comfortable with water and walks fine on various footing such as deep mud and gravel. He is used to dogs, ATV’s and construction equipment.
Boogie loads in a trailer, stands tied and will stand for the farrier and during bathtime. He is currently being pastured with mares, geldings and mini donkeys, and does have experience in a stall. He requires no maintenance, is barefoot, and is UTD on vaccinations and worming.

This guy has all the potential and can be taken any direction!

Meet Linus!

Linus is a loving and gentle 6yr old mini Jack looking for his forever 🏡. He is very friendly and will follow you wherever you go. He is currently pastured with mares, geldings, and other mini donkeys. Linus has even been stalled and hauled! He does not need supplements and requires no maintenance! He enjoys a small handful of grain every now and then but doesn’t require it. He gets fat on air 😊

Linus makes the perfect companion animal or your kiddos favorite pet!
