Mike
$12,000 Everyone wants a 7 year old gelding that has been there, done that. I get many calls each week begging for the super horse. But you know by now, they are rare and expensive. Mike has been everywhere. He was featured in a six horse hitch that showed at State Fairs across the country. He is calm and sensible. The reason he was available to us, is because 60 days ago Mike had not seen a saddle. You would hardly know that today, as most most riders with basic skills will be able to handle him easily. He is pretty relaxed. In the video below, pay careful attention to his reactions and his personality. This was his first time visiting this new facility. He acts like an old show horse. He can canter, but he does not in this video, because he just had shoes pulled. The video shows his personality and who he truly is. Michael is a unique opportunity. He will not be available for long. Such a good boy. Coming 7 yrs old in 2025, so he's in his prime.
Q-pid's Valentina SGH
$8500-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 almost 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.
She is broke to drive. 30 days with a light cart. We believe strongly in giving our yearlings an age appropriate job. It teaches them so much and makes it a piece of cake to start them under saddle. If you want to drive seriously, she'll need some more cart work. But she's quite good and has a great foundation.
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.
Nathan of the Ridge
$16,000 Nathan is also a veteran show horse that competed as a driving horse at State Fairs across the country. He is coming along nicely under saddle and the girls really enjoy riding him. We'll have some new video of him up very soon if we get some good weather. He's a really good boy. We've recently raised his price. Too many people at our farm falling in love with Nate. We may take him off the market fairly soon.
Champ
SOLD Champ is a young young who started out his life on a working farm baling hay. He came to us extremely highly recommended by two of our friends who had farmed with him. They told us that you won't find a much better mind. He is a super driving horse and work horse. We are still polishing his riding, but your can trust him. Just went to his first show and he behaved like an old steady show horse. He is well bred too.
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.
SOLD Click on Libby's photo or name to go to her page and see much more video for Libby. She is an amazing 3 year old mare and the total package. The numerous videos on her dedicated page will show what this mare's potential truly is. The video below is a good compilation. Really good mind for a young horse. She will be some family's dream horse. The one that all your friends are in love with. She's already getting that type of attention around our farm. She rides, drives, been on trails, she's seen a bit of everything. -again click the photo if you want to see more videos
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.

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 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.
