Horses for sale

SOLD Nellie: 16 year old grade mare. Nellie is approx. 14.2 hands tall. We bought her from a friend that had to move and cut back on her horses. She leads, ties and trailers. Stands for tacking up and rides best in a hackamore. Rides out alone or in a group, (will ride in front, middle or back of the group). Neck reins, stops well. Traffic safe and has been trail ridden quite a bit. Nellie has one vice that we were told about but have not experienced ourselves; apparently if she's on a long trail ride (say 2 hours out) she'll try and lay down. With encouragement her rider can keep her going, (and I'm sure she can be worked past this), but for this reason we don't recommend her for a novice rider unless they are going on shorter rides. We've ridden her at the longest about 45 minutes here and had no issues with her. We don't know what causes her to do this. She is sound and healthy and an easy keeper and is a well broke mare. $375

Legs: 10 year old grade buckskin gelding. (Legs is being considered by the Minneapolis Mounted Patrol and is on hold at this time). We think Legs is a Tennessee Walker cross. He is a big boy, approx. 16.1 hands tall and has a huge, smooth walk. When asked to speed up though he went into a definite trot, not a running walk, so I don't know that he's actually gaited. Big, flashy boy with a good disposition. Easy to catch and tack up, likes attention. Leads, ties, trailers, etc. Direct reins well. We took Legs on a shorter trail ride and he rode out in front, went through puddles and was traffic safe. He needs a rider that is confident as that makes him more confident in new situations. He also needs work on his ground manners (more patience, and leading next to you, not ahead of you) and needs work on his stop. We don't know what training he had in the past but are of the opinion based on seeing him ridden that he was piled on and yanked around. He is a very kind horse, loves people and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. However he's BIG and not overly responsive to the bit when he gets going so should have a rider with experience. $600

SOLD Pilgrim: 19 year old grade Paint gelding. Pilgrim is approx. 15+ hands tall. He is a very well broke gelding. Leads, ties, trailers, etc. Neck reins, not spooky, traffic safe. Happy to ride in front, in the middle, or at the back of the group. The only vice we've found with Pilgrim is that he can be a little barn sour when asked to ride out alone. It's not difficult to get him going but a beginner or timid rider would probably have a harder time taking him out by himself. Walks/trots/canters when asked. Good disposition. Needs a little weight but is sound and healthy otherwise and has a great appetite. I've also ridden him around bareback with just a halter and lead. $675

Applejack: 9 year old Shetland-type gelding. Approx. 10 hands tall. I was told that Applejack was used on a pony ring and for leadline rides. He is easy to tack up and seems to know what a bit is, (from the ground I asked him to stop and direct rein and he did well). Leads, ties, trailers. Nice little pony gelding. $300

SOLD Clover: 3 year old Miniature mare. Clover is approx. 33-34 inches tall. She is a silver dapple with sabino markings and one partially blue eye. Very cute little mare and very sweet. She leads, ties and trailers well. Clover is not "broke to ride", but I did see a small child led around on her bareback and she didn't mind at all. I was also told she's been shown at a county fair. Clover was exposed to a Mini stallion for a 2010 foal. I think under all her pony winter fuzz she's going to be a beautiful little mare. Excellent disposition. $175

Ozzy: 12 hand chestnut pony gelding. Ozzy is approx. 8-10 years old. He is a friendly pony. Leads, ties and trailers well. I was told he was Amish broke to ride and drive. I did see him ridden by a child in a small area and he rode well, (we're too big to ride him ourselves). Good for tacking up. We don't have a harness/cart to fit him but I ground drove him around the yard and he did great. Ozzy takes the bit without a problem but doesn't like his mouth messed with otherwise, I'm sure with patient handling he'll improve on that. Would be best suited as a driving pony, or for a child rider with experience, (I don't think he's patient/slow enough for a beginner child). $150

Skittles: 8 year old Miniature mare. Skittles is approx. 34-35 inches tall. She is an adorable little mare and has a pretty, dishy face. Leads, ties and trailers. I was told Skittles was used on a pony ring. She is good for tacking up but I don't know if she's been ridden with a bit, or just a halter. Would make a nice leadline pony. $250

Ima Martini Tyrees: 2006 dun AQHA mare. (Marti has a home lined up in WI and is on hold at this time). "Marti" is a friendly, nice looking young mare. She is a dun with black points and a star. Halterbroke, has been trailered. Pedigree at: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/ima+martini+tyrees Approx. 14.2-14.3 hands tall. Sound, healthy and ready to start under saddle. $200

Mystic: 3 year old Pinto pony gelding. Mystic is a flashy young Shetland type gelding that is broke to ride. He has been ridden both saddled and bareback. Would be best suited for a child that has ridden a bit, (or on leadline for a beginner child). He's a good pony but he's young yet. Approx. 10-11 hands tall. $225

Treasure: 12 year old grade QH mare. Approx. 14.3 hands tall. Treasure is a very well broke mare. We believe she's had Western Pleasure training. Rides calmly, nice head set, slow trot. Neck reins well, backs nicely, sidepasses. We've taken her out down the road/trail and she did very well. Wasn't spooky, was happy to follow along. Leads, ties, trailers. Tacks up and trailers well. Very nice mare, could be suitable for a novice/youth rider. $700

Hesatuf Peppywood TJ: 2007 sorrel (liver chestnut) AQHA gelding. "Falcon" is a handsome young QH gelding. He is a little on the shy side but has a good disposition, leads, ties, and has been trailered. Current on shots/worming. Pedigree at: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/hesatuf+peppywood+tj

SOLD Destiny: 2008 Quarter Horse filly. Destiny can be registered, but at this point it would cost about $150 to do so. She is selling as "grade", but comes with her paperwork which can be sent in if her new owner chooses. Destiny is a big, stout, friendly filly. She leads, ties, and has been trailered. Current on shots/worming. Sire pedigree can be seen at: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/captain+jack+red+bar

SALE PENDING AJ: 17 year Arabian gelding. Approx. 15.1 hands tall. Has a bit of a swayed back but is sound and healthy otherwise. Very well broke to ride, but best suited to an intermediate or advanced rider. AJ is a very fun horse to ride. He prefers a hackamore and will ride out alone or in a group. He will ride anywhere in the group but loves to be up front as he can really walk out. He has a very nice slow trot (his sped up trot is easy to "post" with) and wonderful canter, but I was holding him back. It's easy to hold him back, but this horse definitely has power and speed so that is why I don't believe a beginner would be the best bet. He's not spooky, has been around dogs, traffic, etc. I double pad him before saddling and the saddle then fits him just fine. He is a very kind horse and will make someone an excellent riding partner. $475

Posey and Sneakers: 12 year old large pony mare and yearling Paint/pony cross filly. Posey is an extremely sweet mare. She is approx. 13.2 hands tall. Broke to ride, missing one eye but seems well adjusted to it. We think it's been quite a while since she was ridden regularly and she needs a rider with some experience to help get her back in shape. She is friendly and easy to catch, sound and healthy. Leads, ties, trailers. Stands for tacking up and mounting. We didn't have time to ride her long, and just walk/trotted around the yard. She direct reins great and also does neck rein. VERY smooth trot. At first she gave a few of the tinest "bucks" (not truly a buck, just kicked up her hind end a few inches) when asked to pick up speed, but after a few minutes of riding her she was trotting along nicely. With a little bit of a refresher she would make an adorable kids' pony. Sneakers is her 2008 filly, she's a gorgeous grey Pinto. Halterbroke and very friendly, and looks like she'll get a little taller than her mother, (her sire was probably a full sized Paint or Pinto). Would make an excellent 4-H horse training project. Priced at $250 for Posey, $75 for Sneakers, or $300 for the pair.

Mocha: 8 year old Quarter Pony type mare. Mocha is approx. 13.1+ hands tall. She is a beautiful little silver bay mare. Friendly, good disposition. Easy to tack up, rides quiet, neck reins. Rides best in a hackamore. Sound and healthy. Will ride alone but prefers to ride out with other horses. She's not "bombproof" enough in our minds to be suitable for a beginner child but could be a fun trail horse (or possible gaming mare?) for a child with experience or a smaller adult. $500

CWA Shamala: 1992 bay registered half-Arabian mare. Shamala is a former show mare (halter and pleasure). She is broke to ride but has not really been ridden in 6 years. She is a beautiful mare but has some issues and needs a patient owner. She stresses out very easily and takes a while to settle in to a new routine. We consider her to be "high strung" and she paces when she's nervous. She's also "claustrophobic" with small spaces (going in and out of stalls/narrow barn doors). Shamala leads, ties and trailers. She longes wonderfully. I don't believe she's ever been trail ridden, just has been an arena horse. I've ridden her once here, in the yard briefly. She immediately goes into a collected WP trot with her head tucked. With the right owner I think she could go back into the show ring, (that's what she knows best). She does seem to calm down more while she's being ridden. She's registered as a 1/2 Arab but is close to purebred. Bey Shah granddaughter, pedigree at: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/cwa+shamala $400

Princess: 16 year old Hackney pony mare. Princess is approx. 12 hands tall. She is broke to drive (single and double) and also broke to ride (for a child with experience, she's "too much pony" for a total beginner). She is traffic safe and has been trail ridden. Leads, ties and trailers. Princess does appear to have Cushings, she was foundered in the past but is sound/has good feet. She has a current coggins test. She is a high-energy pony and would make a cute little driving mare. Price very negotiable to a good home.

Pepper: 21 year old Morgan type gelding. Pepper is a very well broke older gelding. He is fun to ride but needs an experienced rider as he's very energetic and likes to "go!". Excellent trail horse, rides out alone, traffic safe, not spooky. When riding with a group Pepper likes to be in front. Leads, ties, trailers, good for farrier, etc. Gets along great in the herd. Great ground manners and disposition. Neck reins, backs, etc. Not for a beginner or timid rider. Sound and healthy. Asking $300/BO.

Banner: 4 year old palomino 1/2 Arabian gelding. I've owned Banner since I bought his mother Sugar, with him by her side at 2 weeks old (he was foaled 8/15/05). I've debated selling him off an on for the last few years but everytime I've tried something new with him he's been so accepting he's changed my mind. He's now almost 4 years old and ready to start riding, and I just haven't had the time or ambition to work with him consistantly so have finally decided it would be in his best interest to find him a home where he will be trained. Banner is approx, 14.2 hands tall. He is very, very friendly, loves people and attention. Leads, ties and has been trailered. I've clipped his bridlepath and whiskers and he's been saddled and free longed in the round pen once this year. He's very accepting of new things, curious and is a quick learner. Sound and healthy and ready to continue training. Banner is the type of horse that will be someone's best friend, and I have no doubts he'll make a truly wonderful riding partner. $500

Lacey: 16 year old grade Paint mare. Lacey is one of Mom's horses. She is very well broke and best suited to an intermediate rider on up. Approx. 14.2 hands tall. She has been trail ridden, we've hauled her to Pillsbury State Park where she did great, and also to one fun game show where she did very well. Neck reins, rides out alone, good on trails. Traffic safe. Lacey's favorite gait when trail riding is a trot, and she has a nice trot. Clips, trailers, good for farrier and vaccinations. Sound and healthy. Gets along great in the herd, easy keeper. She has many good years left. When taken to the fun show she was well behaved all day and ran the patterns nicely and was very controllable. $700
