If you are interested in one of our horses and would like to trade/partial trade for good hay of equal value
we are open to that in most instances.
General Lee: 3 year old pony stallion. General Lee is a flashy chestnut with
blue eyes and 4 socks. We were told he was a yearling but by his teeth he appears a bit older than that. He is halterbroke
and friendly but can be a bit skittish, I don't think he's been handled a ton. We had his feet trimmed and once he figured
out the farrier wasn't going to hurt him he behaved very well. With training he would make a beautiful driving pony. Currently
in quarantine but will be ready for a new home soon. If he's here next time the vet comes out I plan to have him gelded (and
his price will increase to reflect that). $125
Jeffrey: 8 year old grade Saddlebred gelding. Jeff is slightly over 15 hands tall. He
is easy to catch, stands tied and trailers well. Stands for saddling but does need some work on his ground manners (when he's
nervous he can be pushy) and needs some work on dropping his head for the bridle. I have owned Jeff the last 4+ years. He
is broke to ride and even with inconsistant riding he has done well for me. Jeff has been camping and trail riding at Huntersville
and Pillsbury State Forest. He has been to a handful of open horse shows and shown in halter, horsemanship (and
even 2 classes at a fun game show). He has not had any professional training and is not "finished" in any particular
discipline but is willing to try about anything.
Jeff is very light mouthed, direct reins well and backs. He is very smooth under saddle, (I think he's
a 5-gaited Saddlebred, I'm positive he does the "slow gait"). Jeff needs a calm, confident, experienced rider. I would love
to find him a home that has had experience with Saddlebreds. He would not be suitable for a novice or a nervous rider. Jeff
will ride out alone and is traffic safe. He is not a spooky horse but is alert and takes confidence from his rider. I love
this gelding, he is a blast to ride and its difficult for me to list him for sale but I have never had the time to ride him
regularly and I would love to see him in a home that would have more time for him. $800
Artax: 17 year old grade gelding. Artax is approx. 14.2 hands tall. He gets along well
with other horses and is easy to catch. Artax stands tied and trailers well. Stands for tacking up. Artax is well broke to
ride. At this time we feel he should have an intermediate rider or better as he can be impatient at first (not wanting to
stand still after his rider gets on) and will test his rider a bit. I think with some consistant riding both those issues
will improve. Artax will ride out alone and is traffic safe. He has a fast-paced walk and comfortable trot and canter. He
is responsive under saddle, neck reins easily and backs nicely. I wouldn't be surprised if in the past he's had some gaming/speed
event or ranch work experience. Artax is fun to ride, he'd make a great trail horse for a rider with confidence and experience.
I think he'd also be a fun horse to use in gaming events. Artax is sound and healthy. $750
SOLD Dunny: 17 year old grade red dun QH gelding. Dunny is
approx. 15 hands tall. He is a friendly gelding, easy to catch and has good ground manners. Stands tied, trailers. His only
flaw that we can find is that he is a bit cinchy, (cranky when the girth is tightened). When we bought Dunny we were
told he'd had the last few years off from riding, we have been riding him here as we have time. He is a very well broke gelding,
neck reins well, stops easily and backs nicely. We feel he has had western pleasure training in the past, he has a smooth,
slow show-ring jog and a nice headset. Dunny is not spooky and is traffic safe. When ridden with other horses he'll lead
or follow, he's happy either way. He is a very easy going gelding. Aside from being cinchy, we feel that Dunny
would work for a novice rider. He could even make a nice 4-H show horse. Dunny is sound and healthy. $950
SOLD Pebbles: 20 year old pony mare. Pebbles is a cute
little mare. She is approx. 11 hands tall. Pebbles is broke to ride, I saw her wearing a saddle and bridle, ridden
by a 7-8 year old girl. I don't know if she has mainly been a leadline pony or if she is used to being ridden independantly.
Current on farrier work and deworming. $175
SOLD Jessie: 20 year old grade Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred
cross mare. Jessie is approx. 15.1 hands tall. She is easy to catch, stands tied, trailers well and stands for the farrier.
Jessie is well broke to ride and easy going under saddle. She will ride by herself but is happier when ridden with another
horse. Neck reins, direct reins, leg yields, backs nicely. We were told she has been trail ridden. When ridden with
other horses Jessie will lead or follow, is traffic safe and is not spooky. I think she would be a good match for a novice
rider (with basic riding skills). She would also make a nice "extra horse" when company comes to ride. $450
SOLD Smokey: 3 year old grade QH gelding. Smokey is approx.
14 hands tall. He is a unique color, I think he is a dunskin (but looks almost grullo with his winter hair). Smokey is halterbroke,
leads well and trailers well. I was told he had some groundwork done. Smokey is sound and is ready to start training. $375
SOLD Karma: 2011 grade cremello QH filly. Karma is halterbroke
and friendly. Her sire and dam are both registered AQHA but there is no paperwork with this filly. Karma is sound
and healthy and has a good disposition. She would make a nice 4-H training project. Current on farrier work and deworming.
$175
SOLD Breeze: 20 year old grade Saddlebred mare. Breeze is
approx. 15-15.1 hands tall. She is either a Saddlebred or a National Show Horse (Saddlebred/Arabian), unfortunately no paperwork
came with her. Breeze is broke to ride but we believe its been a while since she was ridden much and she could use a refresher
under saddle. I would not be surprised to find out she had some show experience in the past. Breeze stands for saddling but
needs work on dropping her head to take the bit nicely. She parks out and will stand for mounting. Breeze is forward
under saddle and has a nice trot. She neck reins and direct reins and backs easily. I don't know how much trail riding experience
she has had but she doesn't seem to be a spooky mare and if/when the weather permits, (if the ice melts off our road) I plan
to take her out on a longer ride. Breeze needs a rider with confidence and experience. She is sound and healthy and is a fun
mare to ride. $375
SOLD Rio: 15 year old grade Arabian mare. Rio is approx.
14.2 hands tall. Rio's previous owner contacted us for help in finding her a good home. Rio is easy to catch and is a
very easy keeper. She had been used as a 4-H horse with an older teen rider who owned her 5-6 years. Her most recent
owner hoped she would work for her younger son but Rio was a bit "too much horse" for him. She is well broke to ride but has
had most of this last year off. Rio is fun to ride but is a very smart mare and will test her rider. She needs a confident
rider with experience, she would not be a good match for a timid or nervous rider. She neck reins and stops easily. Very smooth
trot. Backs nicely. Rides out alone with a bit of encouragement. She needs a little work on standing still when being tacked
up. Rio is sound and healthy, she has a good disposition and likes attention. She will make a wonderful riding partner for
a rider with experience that appreciates an intelligent, fun to ride Arabian. $575
SOLD Panda: 17 year old grade Paint mare. Approx. 14
hands tall. Panda leads, ties and trailers. She is broke to ride but we were told has had the last 3-4 years off, so she's
a little rusty. She gets better every time we ride her here. She should have an experienced rider to put some miles on her,
once she's "back in the groove", she should be a horse that any number of people could get along with. Direct reins well,
backs nicely. Smooth trot. Very easy keeper, gets along well with other horses. Priced currently at $500. If we have time
to keep riding her and she keeps improving like we expect, her price will be increased to reflect that.
Misty: 13 year old grade Arabian cross mare. Misty seemed a bit uncomfortable (sore
in the back) when we rode her so our vet suggested we have her tested for Lyme disease. She had a mild but positive test result
and will be starting treatment. We will update her ad when her treatment is finished and we have had time to further evaluate
her under saddle.
SOLD Zip: 14 year old grade black mare. Approx. 14.3
hands tall. Zip has good ground manners and gets along well with other horses. Stands tied, trailers, stands for saddling.
Zip is a well broke mare and would be best suited to a calm, light handed rider. She needs a rider with confidence and experience
as she initally is a bit anxious/tense before you start out on a ride and she knows what to expect, (a little "wound up" but
settles down when you head out to ride). Last fall we took this mare on a 2 hour trail ride at Pillsbury forest and she
did wonderful. She neck reins and is very responsive under saddle. Zip is sound and healthy. $700
Grand Benito April: 1990 registered AQHA mare, with 2012 filly. April is a former barrel
horse, she is now broodmare sound only. Approx. 15 hands tall. She has a good disposition and is a nice mare to handle.
Friendly and easy to catch. Leads, stands tied, trailers well, good for farrier, etc. She is a good mother and has an excellent
pedigree, (sired by Benito Pat Star and out of a Babe Cody/Easter King bred mare). Correct conformation, pretty head,
kind eye. Pedigree can be seen at:
Update: 2/16/13
We would like to find a safe and loving retirement home for April this year. She will be free to
a good home with references .
