CCI** Schoolmaster, Perfect Gentleman for YR or AA
Lanzz is a 16.3 2005 Bay Dan WB/TB cross (Languester (Dan WB) x Classical Jazz (Tb)). Henry is a 2 star schoolmaster with several wins at the Preliminary and Intermediate levels. He has a heart of gold and is the ultimate gentleman. He has completed two seasons at the Intermediate/2* level and prior to that he has a flawless preliminary/1* record.
He is easy on the flat with nice movement scoring in the 20’s and low 30’s and an incredible classic, correct jump. He is the most forgiving type that will jump from any distance and fix any mistakes, making him the perfect schoolmaster to get Preliminary and Intermediate miles on. Before eventing he also successfully competed in 1.30 showjumping with an adult amateur. His barn manners and temperament make him a delightful addition to any barn. Located in Ocala.

Very sadly outgrown. 14 hh, 9 yo Sport pony mare. This stunning mare is super athletic and very scopey. Successfully competed through the novice level eventing. She will go on the bit with an experienced rider. She has done it all from pony club, eventing (including the AEC’s), schooling jumpers, young rider camp, winters in Florida, TONS of trail riding mileage, beach rides, ETC.
She has been an amazing pony for my kid. This flashy pony is ideal for a junior rider (or small adult) ready for their second pony! Not for a beginner as she has more go than whoa. Rider in recent videos is almost 5’3″. Self loads, stands for farrier, LOVES to be groomed. Located in Ocala.

Semper Fidelis- Training level experience scope for more. Perfect for YR on a budget
“Semper Fidelis” Evan is a lovely and well built 2009 16.2 thoroughbred gelding with lots of chrome! Thoroughbred fans will really appreciate his way of going with a quality canter and a confirmed change. He has a soft mouth and goes all three phases in a plain snaffle. Hacks alone or in a group on the buckle. Evan has competed through training level eventing with scope for much more and would be equally as competitive in the jumper ring. Great for a YR on a budget! Located in Ocala.

Ideally- 16.2 Grey Oldenburg Mare
Marci is a 2007 16.2 ISR/Oldenburg mare (Ideal x Fria the Ice Queen). She is a safe and proven adult amateur mount with many wins through second level dressage. A true all rounder, she has also competed in the Pre- Green hunters through 3’3” at A shows and could continue in that direction.
Marci has evented four times at novice level, placing first three times and second once. With dressage scores consistently in the low to mid 20s and a superb jumping record, Marci is ready to show someone the ropes in whichever discipline they choose. Half sister to three star mare Cool As Ice.

Prelim Packer – Potential to be dressage horse
Sympatico (Simon) is a 9yo 17h TB gelding who has competed through Preliminary. Simon has never had a run out/stop from his first cross rail to his last Prelim fence. He has big movements in all 3 gaits. Moves more like a warmblood than a thoroughbred. He is brave and bold cross country, very point and shoot.
Although he does have some clear stadium rounds, he is not always the most careful horse in the ring, which is reflected in his sale price. Simon has a lot of schooling and would be a great choice to build confidence cross country. This amazing horse has taken me from never even having shown, to Training in my first year and Preliminary in under 2 years.
His dressage is big and forward. He’s confirmed on the bit and has a trot that’s easy to sit. He’s showing first level dressage and has the potential to go on as a dressage horse. Simon can also hack out alone or in a group. Busy roads or quiet trails, he’s always a good boy. Not spooky and never bucks.
Simon has impeccable ground manners. Always a barn favourite wherever he goes. Puppy dog attitude, which is evident the second you meet him. Loads, clips, bathes, stands for farrier etc. UTD on shots and teeth. Located in Ocala.

Competitive Training Level Eventer
“Bellagio” is a 13 year old, 16.1 h, Dutch warmblood cross mare. Training level eventing experience, with competitive dressage scores (often in the 20s). Started as a dressage horse and transitioned easily to an eventing career. Comfortably schooling preliminary level showjumping and cross country and 2nd level dressage movements. Amateur/junior friendly but not for a beginner. Great horse for ambitious eventing or dressage rider who wants to be competitive in the show ring. Owner in college. Located in Ocala.
