SNEAK PEEK! This weekend Million Air (by Million Dollar, out of Calista v. Colestus) went through the North America Stallion Sport Test at Hilltop Farm. He was the picture of gentlemanly perfection with his behavior and showing of all the natural talent his breeding offers him. I couldn’t be more pleased with him. He scored 8s on Rideability and on Scope. Comments from the guest rider included that he was a pleasure to ride and that he really listened to his rider and said ok, what next 🥰. A true partner in this horse. HUGE thanks to Addison Reed for bringing along Maverick so perfectly. Everyone talks about the value of bringing a young horse along slow and right and happy in his job and that’s exactly what Addison did. I’m giddy with the scores Maverick received and the overall best boy he has been this last month when we threw him at his shows and testing and all the fun things!!!

Million Air went to his first horse show this weekend! This baby stallion was perfection! Wandering on a loose rein, warmed up calm and confident, jumped every jump pointed at, and even jumped 2 classes! I’m so excited for this boy’s future and so grateful for a great training team! NA Stallion Sport Test in 3 weeks!! So excited!! Thank you so much Addison Reed for all you have done with him!

Million Air “Maverick” is in full training in prep for the NA Stallion Sport Testing with Reed Training and he is EXCELLING. This is a true testament to good breeding, natural talent, and a truly Exceptional training program. Mav is sensible, sweet, and just fun to watch with his goofy personality and natural ability. Derek and Addison have done an amazing job developing this young stallion and preserving his class-clown like love of work.

Oh, and check out this horse’s canter!!!

Sold- Alrighty Guys!! I will FINALLY admit it... I have tried but I just can't do it! New baby human, stallion in training, lessons, full time work, and ya know, life! I deluded myself through all of winter and found myself feeding a pasture puff and unfortunately letting this project beastie get out of work.

So here is the deal of a lifetime... for a TRAINER. Kricket is a 2017 15.2hh Oldenburg/ TB gelding. He is SPECTACULAR.... with quirks..... Lots of quirks. I am not exagerating about his movement... or his quirks. Hes not trying to get you off. He's not dangerous. Just a nervous when out of work. He is probably one of the BEST movers I have ever seen. His capabilities are off the charts. And I have been unfair to him by holding on to him when I can't give him the time he needs to thrive.

So here's the deal. I am cutting my price for him more than in HALF. He will be 5 figure horse EASY. But he will need an ADVANCED RIDER to get him going again. He has anxiety when he is restarted, if you rush him you will feel his heartbeat between your legs... never a fun feeling. When in regular work I have had intermediate riders on him and he is GOOD. His personality is that of a goofy class clown with an anxiety disorder. He will NEVER be beginner safe. Please don't expect a horse with this level of athleticism to be the horse to "grow with your advanced beginner kid". You start him SLOW and with more patience than you ever thought you possessed and he will thrive and excel for you. He's not a horse that does well with 2x a week. HE DEMANDS 8-12 days a week of consistency.

This guy's movement is something you just gotta see. We started him with a stretchy loose rein trot and when he went to the back burner he was starting work on the bit. His canter is something i could sit all day. If you are looking for something who can do all the dressage movements, take a look at this boy. Added bonus that he has a cute jump too.

He has a clear PPE I am happy to share. Please don't message asking to ride this guy tomorrow. He has not been sat on in months. If you want to come put a minimum of a weeks worth of ground work into this guy, you'd be welcome! and we can get him going again so you can ride him before buying. I DONT HAVE THE TIME. If I have to put the time into restarting him, I will, but his price will go back up. This is a DEAL for someone if they want to take the risk.

Videos from when he was in work.

Sold - 17yo Haflinger Mare - Minnie Mouse

Minnie has been sitting for the past year because of the reduced size of my lesson program so it seems only fair to rehome her. She has done advanced beginner and intermediate lessons and is tolerant and sweet and loves the attention! She will need an advanced rider to get her back into regular work but is a rockstar when she's in regular work! She loves jumping and loved trail riding even more! Low 4s
