Echo: 5 year old Arabian gelding. We have Echo's paperwork but he was never registered.
He is a sweet, beautiful young gelding. He was very well started under saddle (small jumps, lead changes, etc) but unfortunately
sustained a serious injury in 2007. He had his leg hung up in the crook of a tree and despite the owner and vet doing
their best, he now has an enlarged fetlock and a limp. We have all the paperwork from his treatment, including X-rays
that show no bone damage. One of the photos above shows the difference in his front legs (right one was injured). He seems
to be sound at a walk but off a bit at a trot. Echo was ridden in 2009 by beginner children in an arena, he did very
well but is definitely light riding sound only, (for light riders). He is an extremely kind young gelding that would make
a great companion horse or one to do leadline with children as well. No other health issues, top 2 photos were taken when
we got him home, bottom 2 were taken summer 2009. His owner requested our help in placing him with a loving family, price
negotiable to good home.
LaHaza: 21 year old Arabian mare. LaHaza was broke to ride and ridden quite a bit in
her youth but has had many (10+) years off, just being a pasture pet. She has a wonderful disposition and loves people.
Easy to catch, gets along well with other horses. We've saddled her up once here (she stood like a trooper) and rode her in
the yard very briefly; she did very well walking around but would need a rider with experience to give her a refresher under
saddle if she's to be a riding horse again. Sound, sweet mare. Would make a great companion horse. Price negotiable to good
home.
SOLD:Daisy: 20+ year Welsh/Arabian cross mare. Daisy is approx.
13 hands tall. Her former owner contacted us and wanted us to find her a good home. Daisy is broke to ride and we were
told was ridden by kids at a riding stable. She is good for tacking up, stands for mounting. Direct reins. She's willing to
ride out alone and is not spooky. Will go into a trot easily with a "cluck". However, we've found she will kick up her hind
end a little when we tap her with her heels, but she's so short that our heels are tapping her lower belly, which may be the
reason! We've also briefly cantered her but feel she would do best as a kids' walk/trot pony. If a child does tap her with
their heels we feel it may be a non-issue as their legs would be much shorter than ours, however we have not had any children
out to ride her yet. Prior owners had a 10 year old that rode her walk/trot and got along with her fine. $125
SOLD Snookums: 18 year old Pinto pony mare. Snookums is approx.
12.2 hands tall. She is a very nice little mare and is well broke to ride. Good for tacking up/mounting/etc. Easy to catch,
likes attention. Snookums is a kid safe walk/trot pony. She has an issue with her right hind leg, we think stemming from her
stifle area. It appears she's had this for years. Her leg turns out and she has a little "hitch" in her gaits. She is very
willing under saddle and would be well suited to a small child. Snookums neck reins and is easy to stop. She still needs a
little weight but is gaining steadily here, will be ready for a new home soon. $200
Castle: We were contacted by the owner of these horses (Castle and Lahaza, listed
above) who wanted us to take them in and find them good homes. Castle is approx. 25 years old. He does have some vision impairment
but is a very sweet old boy. More info coming soon!
SOLD Jet: Yearling grade QH colt. Jet is a handsome boy with
good conformation and lots of potential. Dark bay with a blaze and one hind sock. Jet has come along way already here,
he's leading and tying well and has become quite friendly. With a bit of time and a calm, patient handler he's going
to make someone a nice riding partner in the future. $50
Diamond: 16 year Arab cross (Morab?) mare. Diamond is a sweet mare that likes
attention. She is broke to ride though she was being used as a broodmare in recent years and needs a refresher. We've ridden
her a few times, most recently a friend of ours took her for a ride down the road. She was good about traffic and other than
not wanting to go through a big puddle had a nice ride. Diamond leads, ties and trailers. She stands for tacking up and mounting.
Direct reins. At this time we feel she should have at least an intermediate rider until she gets back in the routine. $250
SOLD Rocket: 2 year old grade Paint gelding. Rocket
is a tall, friendly young gelding. Leads, ties and trailers. He is started under saddle. Solid sorrel with a bald face and
one tall stocking/one short sock. Needs a little weight but is sound and healthy otherwise. I don't know how much training
time Rocket actually has had, or what all has been done with him, (I was just told he'd been started/ridden). I saddled him
up, (he was good for that), took him out in the yard and rode him briefly in a bitless bridle. We just walked around the yard
and he did very well. He has an excellent disposition, very friendly and loves people. Stands for grooming, fly spraying,
etc. He is approx. 15 hands tall and still growing. Nice young gelding that just needs to be finished out. $300
SOLD Simply Sparky: 2006 registered ApHC gelding. Sparky
is a friendly, loud colored young gelding. He is approx. 14.2 hands tall. Leads, ties, trailers, good disposition. Sound and
healthy. Started under saddle. I've ridden him briefly in the yard and down the road along with another horse and he did very
well. Walk/trot, direct reins. Just needs to be finished out. $350
Charlie: 18 year old large pony gelding. Charlie has a great disposition and is easy
to catch. Loves attention. He is well broke to ride and drive. Rides saddled or bareback. Neck reins, rides out alone, etc.
Leads, ties, trailers, great for farrier. Charlie does appear to have Cushings and is currently being treated for it. He was
foundered in the past but is sound, feet are in good shape. Very easy keeper. He would probably work well for a beginner with
basic skills. We need to measure him but he's about 13.1 hands tall. $300
Dezi: 14 year QH mare. Dezi is approx. 15 hands tall. She has great ground manners,
good conformation, a pretty head and a good disposition. She has been used for 4-H games, open shows and 3D/4D barrels. She
is fast and competetive, not for a beginner rider. Dezi has issues with back soreness and will require consistant work by
a chiropracter or massage therapist to be competition sound again. Unfortunately her prior owners ran her this way for years.
I've had her adjusted twice and seen noticible improvement, but have not been able to have her worked on as often as I'd like
and she's spent most of her summer just hanging out in the pasture. She is not a "ready to get on and win" horse- she needs
an owner who is willing to put the time into having her worked on. She's a wonderful mare that will be competetive again in
the right hands. Gets along great with other horses, ties, trailers, clips, etc. Asking best offer to a good home.
My Obvious Dee: 1993 AQHA mare. (Dee has a home lined up in WI and is on
hold at this time) Dee has gained a lot of weight since we brought her home and is looking good. She could still stand
to gain a bit more but is healthy and ready for a new home. Leads, ties, trailers, loves attention. Very nice mare. Not
broke to ride, has been a broodmare for years. Very well bred, her sire Mr. Obvious is an AQHA Superior Halter horse. Her
dam has AQHA points as well. Dee is a granddaughter of both Obvious Conclusion and Sonny Dee Bar. Pedigree at: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/my+obvious+dee
She is HYPP N/N. Unfortunately she developed mastitis the spring of 2009 which left her bag enlarged and
misshapen. Price negotiable to good home.
Apollo: 9 year old Saddlebred gelding. Apollo is a tall, friendly gelding that is broke
to ride. He has respect issues with people and will need an experienced owner/handler. More info coming as we have
time to evaluate him.
Lucy: 20+ year Morgan mare. Lucy is a very well broke aged mare. She's been here for
quite a while getting back into shape (she was in poor shape when we bought her). She could still use a few pounds but has
gained a ton of weight and is looking good. She will ride out alone, neck reins well, stops and backs nicely, etc. When ridden
by herself, she seems to have a little more spunk/will test you a little and would probably require an intermediate rider.
When ridden with other horses she is more easygoing/laid back and could work for a less experienced rider. Approx. 14.3
hands tall. Lucy leads, ties and trailers. She is sound and healthy though she needs to be grained twice a day to maintain
her weight. She's got plenty of life left and is a fun mare to ride. $200
Jasper: 14 year old grade gelding. (11/10/09) Jasper was euthanized last week as
his arthritis was progressively getting worse and had begun affecting his quality of life. He is in a better place now, painfree.
We really appreciate his sponsor at the end who would have taken him home had it been possible and want to say thank you to
her.
