Adorable small pony gelding available for half or full onsite lease. Just a hair above 12 hands but good bone and big barrel to take up leg well. Green, but is so sensible and honest. Going w/t/c and jumping X rails and small verticals in lines and small courses, rides outside of the ring, very friendly and easy to get along with on the ground. Suitable for an intermediate + rider as we are looking to continue his education while giving someone the opportunity to affordably enjoy a nice pony. Weekly lessons required with one of our trainers. Riders in photos vary in height from 4'10 to 5'3 and up to 120 pounds. Located in Troutman NC at facility with indoor and outdoor riding arenas. Opportunity to show for the right candidate.

Congratulations to our riders on a great weekend at Progressive Show Jumping ! This was a first show for several new horse & rider pairs, who all far exceeded our expectations. Many riders brought home top placings as well as several championship and reserve ribbons thanks to the help of BCTC and a wonderful, uplifting and motivating team of riders and parents! 🏆

Getting back into the swing of show season with a very successful and fun weekend with Triangle Farms Horseshows and Barn in Raleigh! Really impressed with our riders and horses, everyone had a great weekend with good placings. What a great start to the 2024 show season!

If you have horse experience & are looking for a little more barn time, here is your chance!

We are seeking reliable & knowledgable weekend help for 2-3 weekends per month. We are hoping to find someone who is able to be consistent & is looking to become a long term member of our team. Attention to detail and reliability are a must. Preference is to find someone who can do AM/PM both Sat/Sun as we frequently go to horse shows over weekends. Because of this, living close to Troutman NC is important. Other opportunities are also available to the right person. This would be a great opportunity for a responsible high school age teen with reliable transportation!
This is a boarding facility with between 10-15 horses. Duties will include feeding, turnout/bringing in, cleaning stalls daily, blanketing, and other basic care. We are looking to bring someone on ASAP, compensation to be discussed. Please send a PM or call/text 704-960-9686 if you are interested! We are located in Troutman NC.

“Willow” 14 hand 8 year old pony mare offered for your consideration. Anyone can handle, kids love her and are able to bathe/load/unload etc. Limitless potential in many rings - Has shown successfully at Tryon, a few local dressage shows, and in IEA shows. She’s an IEA favorite! Currently schooling training level dressage & jumping 2’3 courses at home. Willow does best in a program, or would love the lesson pony job.

Located in Troutman NC, I am happy to help arrange shipping anywhere at buyers cost. UTD on everything she needs and she is ready to work for you.

Spring cleaning came a little late this year! I am so excited to have a clean barn with no cobwebs 🤩 Huge thank you to Andere Rosa Cleaning Service for their hard work, completely clearing this place of cobwebs and dust. It looks brand new again! ✨

Looking to interview farriers to service our barn in Troutman. Consistently 12-20 horses, all on a 5 week rotation which we prefer to pre-schedule. Reliability and professionalism a must. All of the horses are good to work on. We have a mixture of retired, pleasure, and show horses that could require anything from trims to shoes with pads or corrective work. My farrier of 15+ years has been severely injured and we are not sure what the future holds. Please send me information, prices, references and photos. Thank you!

08/01/2023

A successful weekend for Lockhard Stables in Camden! Our hard work is paying off, and it’s so exciting to see that come full circle at a horse show - We took home great ribbons, many blues and a Champion for Madrid LHF in her division! Thanks again to South Carolina Equine Park, Your Camden Showgrounds for putting on an awesome show & to Paula Williams for leading us to success. 🏆
