Schooling all first level. Consistent in the bridle and off the leg. Soft connection and flexible with rider ability. Personable and funny personality, loves to explore his surroundings and enjoys company. Cosmo has been used for lessons with a few AA riders and adjusted very well. No buck, rear, bolt or bite.

Yoshi
5YO 15HH Grey Andalusian
Schooling Training Level & Eventing Prospect
Confident AA/Ambitious Youth Mount
Spokane, WA

Respectable ground manners, easy to lunge, stands to be mounted, ties and hauls well. Currently barefoot and stands great for farrier. Yoshi gets along with other horses in a pasture setting. No health issues or soundness issues. Teeth, shots and gelding done in December 2023.

Yoshi was started as a 4 year old by an adult amateur who mostly rode trails. He has completed 2 months of professional training underneath our program and is ready for his new home. He has an extensive amount of miles on the trail and is happy to go for hours. Will happily lead or follow. He is forward thinking and has 3 developing, agile and smooth gaits. Yoshi needs more time spent strengthening under saddle and miles in the dressage ring but is incredibly willing and kind. Has been used for lessons with 2 of my youth riders and tried his heart out for them. No buck, rear, bolt or bite.

Wild Idol (Rocky)
12YO 16HH Liver Chestnut Oldenburg Gelding
Dressage, Eventing, Trail & Beach Experience
AA Safe Mount
Spokane, WA

Respectable ground manners, easy to lunge, stands to be mounted, ties and hauls great. Currently has a full set on but goes well barefoot. No health issues or soundness issues aside from an old cold splint on LF. Teeth and shots done April 2024.

Rocky has been shown at local dressage shows in CA up to third level and schooled up to 3’3 jumping at home. He has been to multiple XC courses, cavelleti clinics, trail obstacle clinics and galloped on the beach! Rocky is still building his strength back up and is currently schooling 1st/2nd level. We are on the brink of accessing his changes again but he just needs a little more time and counter canter work. Easy lateral work, smooth canter and takes a joke! Unbothered by riders with balance issues and has an immense amount of patience. I have never once been worried about Rocky doing anything dangerous, I would put anyone on his back.

My client has multiple young horses she is bringing up the levels and wants to find a new home for Rocky to get the attention he deserves. Rocky has been in training with me for two months to bring his fitness level back up from enjoying pasture time. Rocky can sit for a month and be the same horse, no lunging required. Currently ridden in a loose ring 3 piece lozenge bit, can be ridden with/without spurs and a whip. Confidence building type of horse. We would love to see him go to a home where he can be the center of someone’s world and take care of his rider. Absolutely no buck, rear, kick or bite.

Low/mid fives (starting with a three)
Price will go up with training especially when I get videos of his changes
Showings available in person or virtually. PPE at buyer expense.

Videos of dressage, XC courses, trail obstacles and basic manners available.

“My experience purchasing a horse from Nicole could not have gone any better. She was very easy to communicate with, provided lots of details and honestly answered any and all questions I had. Her focus wasn’t to just sell a horse, but to find the right home for her horse. After we brought Lilo home, Nicole stayed in contact to ensure that the horse was doing well and to continue to be a resource for any questions or concerns that may have arose. Her genuine care for horses and buyers shines through in every interaction and I would buy from her again in a heartbeat. “ - Karen Langdon

“I bought my horse, Potter this past December from Nicole. I couldn’t be happier with him. He is a kind, sweet horse and exactly as advertised. Nicole was super helpful through the process especially since I purchased out of country (Canada)” - Kat Naud
