We love our lesson people!

So we have this wonderful pony up for lease at our farm. She is the sweetest thing and would love to take a kid or small adult out eventing. Comes with lessons and schoolings. Can attend all the shows with us. Have tons of fun. Maybe you want to learn more about eventing and horse care while Learning responsibility and gaining confidence. Contact me if interested.

Another great day at Apple Tree and The Vista. This time with a young one as he completes his first three phase!

Look at this talented, dressage schoolmaster that is regrettably for sale. He jumps too!

Jace - Talented 9 year old 16hh TB gelding looking for his next rider! This horse has loads of potential. Has a great jump, just needs more experience to move up the levels. Jace is comfortable with water, banks, and ditches. He’s been taken to a few events and has been very rideable. Jace also spent some time focused on dressage and has competed Second level with scores in the 60s and is schooling some Third. This horse is very athletic, with more jumping experience and cross country schooling, he could be your next upper level mount. Located in Williston, SC right outside of Aiken. Offered at nine thousand.

Welcome Ori!

Take a look at this great little 8 yr old tb. She has Never raced, would be great for kids. Cute little walk trot and canter on a long rein. She just gets better and better each week. We are only just finding out what she can do. But she is great on the trail, wonderful for the farrier and the vet. Has been starting to jump like a little pro. Just over 15hh, cute dark roan coloring. Pick her up now for only three thousand before her price increases with experience!

This baby will be fearless. Just walks right in the puddle, no mom. She is not even a day old and her first foray outside. This is the first five minutes!
