Adam of CLA
$12,000 Adam has turned into a lovely horse. He is very eager to please. Watch the video to see how engaged he is with Kate as she works him on the trails, on the road, bridleless, joining up in the arena, and just on playing and having fun. This guy has a super high ceiling for showing or whatever you'd like to do with him. He is athletic. He's just a fun boy to work and he's a lover.
Cherish
$12,000 That is her full, registered name. We think you will cherish her. She is a sweet 7 year old mare with a farming background. You can see in the video that her driving is strong. Her canter still needs work, but just about anyone can ride her. Little kids have trail ridden her. If you need a laid back mare, she's awesome. Nearly 15 hands. Was on the winning hitch team at our fair and won champ at our local driving show too.
Champ
$12,000 Champ will be 10 years old soon. He is a well trained veteran who has worked a lot of cows and has opened and closed a lot of gates. A sweet boy to ride. Everyone loves him. Come meet him I'll think you'll love him too. At 14.1, he is a deluxe size as a grandma horse.
Lily's Lady LLA
$11,500 A very trustworthy mare. She is a little smaller than most of our Haflinger mares, standing at about 14.1. But we know that is a very popular size especially for grandmas and kids. A really nice mare that produced a super stylish and sweet foal this year. Good for trail riding, pleasure drives, shows, whatever you'd like to do with her. Lily is a sweetie.
Buck - Brabant Gelding
$35,000 Meet Buck. Buck is our Buckskin colored Brabant super horse. He can do it all. He is a work horse, carriage horse, and trail horse, and pretty to look at. The Brabant is a breed, but it is also a traditional variant of the famous Belgian draft horse breed. Buck is about 16 hands. That is the size of a traditional Belgian, but smaller than most of today’s giant draft horses. We think Buck is a nice size, the size of the traditional “gentle giant” back on my Great Grandpa Ernie’s working farm. Buck is incredibly calm and cold blooded. He worked the fields all summer with some of my Amish friends. He is reported to be a great and willing worker. The buckskin color is very rare for a draft horse. Buck turns a lot of heads. You can’t not love Buck. Just coming 4, but already done it all and unflappable. Watch the video below. (Note: we usually stick with Halflingers, but a good friend offered us Buck when he was just a baby. We knew back then that he was a rarity. His price is also considerably higher than most of our Haflingers, but again, it's very hard to find a horse like Buck. He is just different and we're not in a hurry to move him.)
Stanley
$12000 SOLDStanley is pretty cool. He is very unique. He is a very well bred horse out of the famous sire, Standard of Excellence TOF. His mother is from the well known Wing Spann Farm out of the imported Serpico Stallion. But Stanley grew up for nearly seven years on a working farm in Indiana. He has only been a riding horse for a very short time, but he can fool you. He is a natural that picks things up quickly. Sure he is working on his canter. You can see that in the video. But he's a straight shooter with a really good brain. Everybody loves Stanley.
Misty's Magic Mariah PPRH
$18,000 SOLD- We collect "Grandma Horses." That is horse that a grandma can trust with her grand kids or herself. We have a few of those. But, Misty is the most polished. The most ready to go. She's good alone on the trail. She is a fast walker, but that is her natural gate. She's good on the road or anywhere. Watch the video. I think you'll see.
SALE PENDING-Libby just came back home to us. Her owner had some life changes that were not allowing her to spend enough time with Libby.
Q-pid's Valentina SGH
White Lighting SGH
SOLD (WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER REALLY QUALITY COLTS AVAILABLE at $5.5K) Born on our farm this year. Lightning is a gorgeous colt with a wonderful personality. Handles nicely like his mother and his siblings. Starting with a baby is not for everyone. Probably 90% of people want to start with a well trained horse. But, we have also helped quite a few people that have successfully gone the baby route. There are a ton of resources out there to help you besides us. Babies are a lot less money and the training is very enjoyable. The people who have gone this route are extremely satisfied with the rewarding experience. Call us if you have questions about whether this could be right for you. We will honestly walk you through the pros and cons. His mother is actually a super-sweet, laid back work horse, off the farm. But his breeding will make him worthy of a show horse if you want to go that route.
Available mid-summer, but he could be contracted now.
Libby's Legacy (Lacy)
SOLD Older sister of Libby's May listed above. We called this one Lacy. She is six years old. Super level-headed mare with a great attitude. She is a very experienced driving horse that is now riding and doing trails. We will consider offers to purchase Libby for $6000, if we retain the foal she carries. We're looking for the right home and the right fit for this special mare. Call us if you'd like to discuss.
Rocky
SOLD Rocky is an amazing 14.1 hand gelding we bought this year. We are having a blast playing with him, trail riding, driving and showing him this summer. He is what everyone wants. Amazingly calm and sensible. Stands, behaves, knows his jobs well. He has had a lot of training for a young horse. The video shows his personality pretty well. Horses like this are not available very often. Rocky is special.

Forest
$3300 SOLD - Of course, Forest is a little larger than a mini. He was registered as a mini, but has outgrown that. He is a Shetland. While we primarily focus on minis, we know some people come out and fall in love with a slightly bigger, faster driving pony. Forest stands at 42 inches and he can really move. Watch how well he goes down the road in the video below. He is very responsive. He is 9 years old and knows how to drive well. You will love this guy. He was head shy and afraid when he got here. Hard to catch in the pasture. Not any more. He is a lover that runs to the gate to meet you. A gentle soul. All the kids love him.

Freddie
$3500 SOLD- Gorgeous driving gelding. You'll like driving Freddie. Such a beautiful color and thick mane. He is a great horse to drive, but its the hair and color that makes everyone fall for Fast Freddie. Lot's of drill team experience, watch the video.Last time I drove him, he put on a clinic. He is driving great now. Very responsive. You'll love him. 35 inches.
Barney
$2400 SOLD- One of the best moving minis I've seen. He has been part of our show string and drill team for several years. I love this guy and always will. I think he is worth much more than this, but I would like to find him a good home that is good for him. A nice relaxed place where he can just drive the roads and drive the trails, maybe do a few shows too. He really likes that. 13 years old 34 inches.
