Adam of CLA
$12,000 Adam is a really nice looking four year old gelding that is sensible and willing to please. If you watch the video below you can see how eager he is to join up and be truly engaged with his handler. He really like people. He still derives a bit of confidence from his rider, so I would not turn him over to a complete novice yet, but most intermediate riders with good basic skills will have no trouble with Adam. He is an athlete, a lover, and a really good looking young horse.
AVAILABLE LATE JUNE-Libby just came back home to us. Her owner had some life changes that were not allowing her to spend enough time with Libby. She is just as nice and athletic as you see in the photos. But it will take us a month to get the rust off and get her back in shape. Check out the video.
Q-pid's Valentina SGH
CURRENTLY TRANING-Q-pid may sound like a strange name, but she was born on Valentine's Day. She was required to have a Q name like her momma.
Q-pid was bred and raised on our farm. She is 2 years old. We breed more for mind than pedigree, but Q-pid will hold her own. She comes from a successful and well-respected mare line. Her father has sired many amazing horses.
Q-pid's mother, Tina is the best, calmest, kid-broke horse in our county.
The video here shows Q-pid's personality. She is a puppy dog, always runs across the pasture to greet you and loves to play.
Cupid is lightly broke to drive. She will be starting some very light saddle training soon.
I've honestly maybe never met a horse that loves humans as much as Q-pid. She always wants to hang out with you. She's a lover.
Stanley
$11000 Stanley 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.
Lyric
$9700 SOLD The eight year old Lyric is bred by Doug Hoskins, a good friend and well respected breeder. Lyric's sire is the world famous, Nordtirol, known, for his athleticism. Walzertakt and Aristocrat blood on the dam's side, this is a very well bred mare. Because of Doug's serious health issues, Lyric did not get trained a lot as a young horse, but she had some good early training and quite a bit of refresher this past 6 months. She's doing great. Watch the video, you'll see how good she is with the kids.
Lyric MDH
Big Title
White Lighting SGH
SOLD (WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OTHER QUALITY COLTS AVAILABLE at $4K) 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.
Gretta of Sunshine
$12,000 SOLD Gretta is a six year old with a solid and unique pedigree. She is a very dependable mare that is doing well with all of her training. She is going to be a superstar mare. She has a lot of driving experience. She has been on week long trail drives and driven everywhere. Her riding is starting to get quite polished as well. Check back soon for some updated spring videos. We're getting a thaw and Gretta is ready to hit the trails and put on a show.
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.
Wil's Sweetheart
_edited.jpg)
$8500 SOLD This is the kind we really like, super gentle, and laid back. A young mare out of Wil Von Masters. She stands at 14 hands which is a size that a lot of people are looking for. They are getting harder to find all the time. You can see here how nicely she drives and how laid back and well behaved she is. She is just starting under saddle now. It's not going to take us long to get her riding nicely. This price is good for 30 days. Her training will go quickly.
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.
Southern Belle SHH2
$13,450 SOLD A gorgeous filly by the sire, Wil Von Master's. One of the very best minded mares we ever owned was by Wil Von Masters and Belle seems to be in that mold. She seems to have the "cold blooded" mind of an old fashioned draft horse. Her strength reminds me of a draft horse. When she doesn't understand something she does not get excited. She patiently figures it out. She has a little more "whoa" than "go." We love that about her. But, she will go when you ask her. She is about 15 hands now and could go over that. Real sweetheart with a nice pedigree. You will absolutely love Belle.

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.

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.

Freddie
$3500 SOLD- Gorgeous driving gelding. You'll like driving Freddie. Such a beautiful color and thick mane.

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.

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.
