FC APOLLO is a wonderful pony prospect with a lot to offer. Apollo has spent most of his years trail riding in the Rocky Mountains and participating in gymkhana events. He recently has made the switch to the jumpers and shows a lot of promise already! Apollo has 3 smooth elegant gaits and a lead change! He is schooling .85m at home and has shown up to .70m. Apollo appreciates a soft quiet rider and for this reason he is not being offered as a beginner children’s pony. We do think he would excel with a talented junior or amateur in a program. Apollo loves to please, jumps with great form and turns quick. We see many tri colors in his future. He clips, bathes, ties lunges and loads on the trailer no problem. Please pm or text for more info located in westcliffe co 9704479447

HB Chances are it’s me 2022 CWB gelding- “Chance ” (HB Cecond Chance x Incolor x Carthago sun III) is a super young prospect especially for those looking for a big horse. Currently standing just over 16.3, chance will certainly finish atleast 17.2. Don’t let his size fool you this kid is super docile and your total puppy dog. Loves to be pet and will just follow you around everywhere! He is a good boy for all of the things, bathes, loading on trailers, and crosstieing! Chance has recently started his education in the round pen and does fabulous ground work, lunging and wears a saddle! He has three natural fluid gaits and has seen a few jumps in the jump chute. More to come. We see big things in this guys future in the equitation or jumper rings. Located in westcliffe, co. Please contact with any questions.

APOLLO. 9yo 14.1h quarter pony gelding offered for your consideration. Are you looking for flashy athletic prospect for the jumpers or gymkhanas? Apollo may be your guy, he’s proven to be a jack of all trades!

✨Apollo has been hauled all over to many atmospheres and events. He does well in all of them and tries his heart out at anything you ask. Bathes, stands tied in barn or at trailer. Does well with dogs, atvs, and general chaos. Not spooky. Currently lives outside in a herd but has done well in a stall also. UTD On vaccines, worming, teeth and coggins.
❌Apollo is NOT a beginners or children’s pony. He is best suited for an advanced teenager or small adult that would like to go fast. This pony is very sensitive and is best suited to a rider that understands him. I will be happy to explain this in more detail to serious parties.
🗻He loves trail riding, is brave as can be and will go all day for you! He’s been hauled all over the Rockies to check out some of the best sites! I have taken him on some questionable trails and he never says no. Always can do.
🛢️Apollo has also partaken in several gymkhanas and shows a willingness and talent for the poles and barrels! He is extremely quick and has lead changes. (I am not a barrel racer, but I do have video upon request)
🦄most recently Apollo is learning to jump and will be available to be tried at west world in Scottsdale Oct 15-21, where he will be competing in his first horse show! Currently has schooled up to .85m with room for more. He turns quick and loves a little gallop!

⛵️Please pm for video and specific information. This is not a beginners kid pony.

Time flies! Chilli the kid z! First pic is fall 2021 and last pics were from this week 2024. He’s sure growing up nice 🤠 a ways to go still but we’re excited for this one.

Friday we took 3yo chilli the kid z on a long ride in the mountains. Frequently I hear nothing gets them broker than some hard riding and ain’t that the truth! So proud of this horse and his willing attitude to handle all these new challenges. This is not a ride I would take any other 3 yo on and chilli really proved himself. On this trail we covered approximately 12 miles with nearly 3,000ft of elevation gain. Chillis list of firsts include:
✅calmly loading and unloading in the trailer
✅standing quietly to be tacked at the trailer with hound dogs braying at us
✅immediately becoming a hands free ride will I checked the maps and photographed our journey
✅water crossings
✅mud crossings
✅culvert crossing
✅bouldering
✅middle of the pack, back of the pack and even a leader for a short while!
✅standing quietly while we enjoyed lunch at the lake
✅passing hikers, bikers, and atvs

Needless to say I’m very proud of this horse. Showing us all what a cool lad he is! Really excited for horse shows and inspections this coming year with the kid! 🤠

In training I often get this question “what do I do if my horse spooks?” Or “how do I get my horse to stop looking at things?!” Usually my answer is just let them look 🤷🏼‍♀️often you find once they figure out it out they move on pretty quickly!
