Copper is a fantastic family horse. He loves people and is very gentle. He is the perfect hunting/packing/mountain horse and we have had zero problems with him on the trails. He is smart, strong, and no nonsense in the mountains. Picks his way wonderfully, travels smoothly, doesn’t spook, just drops his head and grinds. He’s the horse we never worry about on the trail. Packs meat with no problems. Ponies well. Follows nose to tail just fine, and will take the lead just fine. His gait is awesome and he will get you places fast and comfortably. He never needs shoes, even in Rocky terrain. His feet are hard and healthy and our farrier continues to be impressed with him.

Copper has worked as a hunting horse, worked in a dude ranch string a handful of times, worked as a pack horse, a trail horse, he’s gathered/sorted cows, been a ba****ck pasture horse for children (under supervision), and has had his share of time in the arena. He’s the perfect “husband horse” for trail riding and has been a trail riding horse for children, elderly folks, and many beginners.

Copper is about 14.1 hands high but is very big b***d in his legs and strong, so he can still carry a good load. He is very comfortable to ride because he isn’t too wide and has a very smooth way of moving. He loves people and is a very sweet gelding. Message me with any questions, and we can go from there!

Lucy is one in a million! She was fantastic for our beach photoshoot with I could go again and again! Riding her over the sand and the waves was like a dream.

Lucy is smart, quick to learn new things, comfortable to ride, and easy to control. She is available on for only a little longer! Check out the link in my bio to view her sales page.

Are you looking for a new gelding?? This might be your guy!! Copper is one special dude, he’s the kind of horse that will make mom, dad, and the kids very happy! You’ll have a hard time finding a horse as snuggly and sweet as he is, with the spirit and drive to conquer any type of terrain you throw at him!

Copper is a papered Missouri Foxtrotter gelding, who just turned 13 years old. His feet are hard as rocks and he never needs shoes. Standing around 14/14.1 hands, he is stout and sturdy, ready for tough adventures with dad or relaxing pony rides with the kids.

Special thanks to for capturing these photos with him.

Wow! What a partner. Are you in need of a good trail horse? Copper is casually looking for his new home.

When we sell horses, making sure the buyer is a good fit for the horse is just as important to us as making sure the horse is a good fit for the buyer. Horses, like people, are individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and passions. Some horses really enjoy the mountains; others do not. Some horses live for the thrill of a race! Others are made for quiet evenings and the soft hands of a starry eyed child. Those rare “unicorn” type horses seem to be made for everything, but I promise, even they have their own unique passions and talents too.

You have something specific you’re looking for, and we have something specific we’re selling. Message us, and let’s see if we can help you find exactly what you’re in search of! We’re excited to see who fits our Copper boy!

Copper has been sitting in his sisters shadow for a while now, it’s about time we put the spotlight on him! He is such a sweet gelding with the patience of Job, and the heart of a lion! Whenever I’m stressed, or just had a rough day, he’s the horse I know I can count on for a safe, relaxing ride.
Copper is 13 this year, stands just shy of 14.2, and is stout and strong! He gaits like a dream and shares many of the same qualities of his sister Holly. I’m excited for you to get to see more of this gelding and fall in love with him just as I have!

This Missouri Foxtrotter Mare sells today. Her auction ends at 6:00pm American/Chicago time (5:00pm MDT). You don’t want to miss out on this fancy, good minded, well broke, mountain/trail/family horse. Her resume is quite impressive and she has yet to disappoint in a variety of terrain. Mountains, creeks, rocky hills, bridges, snow, puddles, city streets, cars, gravel, bikers, arenas (indoor and outdoor), she’s handled it all with tact and great skill. She is fancy broke for arena riding (or the trails) and will perform a variety of tricks and difficult maneuvers on the ground and under saddle.

On top of her incredible riding and athletic ability, Holly is a wonderful partner and friend. She is very friendly and enjoys the company of people. Hanging out with her in the pasture, sitting on her ba****ck, is one of my favorite things to do. She is extremely aware of her rider, and has an attitude to take care of whoever is on her back.

Horses like her are hard to find, with beautiful color, a solid mindset, incredible fitness, and just the right build. Her training is just the cherry on top! Don’t hesitate to make this horse your own today.

These are the experiences that make horse ownership so enjoyable 💛

Would you like to make this horse your own? I’m so sad to see her go, but thrilled to see who is lucky enough to take her home! You can train a horse all day, but you can’t train this sort of sweet demeanor. Don’t miss out on her!

A beautiful shot on the salt flats captured by

Holly sells on right now! Follow the link in my bio to see her sale page and find details about purchasing. She is not one you want to miss out on. She’s what every horse person dreams of!

I’ve been really enjoying these last two weeks with her. We’ve spent quite a bit of time hanging out together without expectation, just enjoying each other’s company. She is so easy to be around. If you haven’t spent time just sitting with your horse, listening to nature and watching them breathe, you’re definitely missing out on one of the best parts of horse ownership :)

Contact me for more details! I’m sure going to miss her.

This stunning buckskin mare is now available! She is as safe as a horse can be, extremely sound, responsive to your cues, and is a smooth ride anywhere you take her. Mountain tops, city streets, dirt arenas, through the river, inside storage containers, you name it, this girl will travel right through it without batting an eye.

She is very well broke and well trained. She will neck rein, side pass, move off your leg, ride completely bridleless/tackless/ba****ck, lie down, move over to mount, just to name a few. She has a gentle disposition and is very attentive to her riders.

A willing partner. An animal that lends you its strength and mind, without guile. The Foxtrotter is a breed that is known for its gait, but I feel that little is said of their heart and grit. They have passion, personality, and are gentle natured.
The buckskin is true to her breed. She has yet to disappoint me, and is a true friend. Come and try her out for yourself, and keep an eye on our page. There’s something special coming soon.

Dapples anyone?? Holly is shedding out nicely.

There is nothing better for a horse than a job. That’s why I love working cows with my horses. It gives them something to focus their mind on and a lot of nonsense that you sometimes deal with can go out the window. I think part of the is because a job gives the rider something to focus on too, and it can give the horse a bit of a break.

These cows were very cute, and easy to move, so the day was pretty enjoyable. Credit to goes to for managing their herd so well.

This was my first time seeing how Goldie did with cows, and she acted like it was just another day! She’s turning out to be a golden horse 😉
