Josey 🐰
4 year old Belgian Quarter Horse cross

Josey is the draft cross prospect everyone is looking for! Athletic and versatile coming 4 year old Belgian Quarter Horse cross. She currently stands at 15.3 hands. Josey is up to date on coggins, farrier, teeth, and worming.
Josey is extremely intelligent and a very quick learner. Knows her leads, leg yields, hip and shoulder control, side passes both ways and has a good stop. She loves to hack around the farm and trail ride. Soft in the bridle and very easy to control. She likes to work and have a job. Josey would excel in any discipline and is ready to finish your way!

Over the weekend we had the opportunity to assist a fellow horse lover who unfortunately broke down during her travels. We wanted to shout out the team member at Love's Travel Stops in Willington, CT who went above an beyond to help her and allowed her to leave her vehicle and trailer in the lot while she sorted out how to get home!
