3yo Danish Warmblood

By Leslie on

Description: Wildorado's Mandalay is a handsome (DOB: 18 May 10) Danish Warmblood gelding. Mandalay is by the famous Blue Hors Don Romantic by Blue Hors Don Schufro and out of Kastaniegaardens Eliise/Ragazzo/Raphael. Mandalay is a lovely bay with a very large star and two back socks. He has a quiet, easy-going personality and lovely, expressive gaits. He is a solid 16.1+ already and has huge joints and substantial leg bone. He had a full pre-purchase exam on 10/22/11 including x-rays, flexions, eyes, lungs, heart check and passed with flying colors! Manny is wonderful to live with and work around. Clips, bathes, cross ties, good for farrier and vet, loads, and gets along well with other horses. Manny is in a gelding herd for night turnout and has free access to go in and out of his stall into a paddock during the day. He is also totally happy to stand in a stall for extended periods of time and handles our very large farm's (45+ horses) busy atmosphere with ease. He is an easy keeper in every way including having excellent, strong hooves (he's barefoot and shows no signs of needing shoes) and very solid legs. He has been under saddle three days per week since the beginning of April 2013 and is very straightforward in every way. He has a lofty, floaty trot and very easy gaits to sit. His canter is so balanced he already understands flying changes! He quietly works both inside and out and enjoys work over ground poles and cross rails. He approaches his work with a sensibility that makes him seem older than his years. This super-star horse will excel as a eventer or H/J because he is fearless and LOVES picking his feet up over anything. Check here for a three generation pedigree.

Fabulous Young Prospect

By Leslie on

Description: "Clay" is a very fancy 4 year old, 16.0 hand gelding, sired by the famous Welsh stallion, North Forks Cardi. His breeding is Welsh Cob x Hannovarian. He was the top sport pony in his class for the RPSI testing, with an overall score of 8.5. Like his dad, Clay has incredible joint movement and will become a star in the coming years! He is a naturally careful horse who wants to please and tries very hard every day. I think his careful nature is going to make him an incredible jumper. He is brave and confident, and he will start jumping in the next week. He has only been in training 30 days and already is showing a good aptitude for concentration and a good work ethic. His talent for upper level dressage is quite obvious! His whole body is very supple and straight, with more training he will be quite a knockout. Clay is best suited for someone who wants to take the time to correctly develop a very, very fancy competitive horse. He has so much natural talent, that all someone needs is a little time and good training to have the horse of a lifetime.

Rosein – Irish X Hanovarian 5yr old scopey,talented and easy.

By Leslie on

Description: This 16hh well built mare has been broken and trained by Selena O'Hanlon. She has done the 2012/2013 Winter season in Ocala with Selena, stabled and training with Bruce Davidson. Her attitude is totally workmanlike whether she is doing flatwork or jumping. She does not get keyed up or excited and from the very beginning she has accepted ditches, banks and water as a relaxed part of everyday life. She has no bogey fences and does not get nervous. Her dressage is easy and her show jumping is good enough for the A circuit hunter/jumper rings. Her changes are there. She would field hunt effortlessly as she hacks just as easily in a big group as she does on her own. Manners, training, ability and above all, an intrinsic desire to please, make this mare a wonderful purchase for a rider at any level. She has all the talent in the world and is quiet and patient with more novice riders, typical pleasant Irish temperament with a lovely warmblood look and style. She will be on track to do a one star on the spring. Really fun YR prospect.

Spectacular Honest Gentle Giant

By Leslie on

Description: Bear is a true 17.3 hand 9 year old Dutch Warmblood gelding located in Scottsdale, AZ. He has been in training with Barb Crabo and would excel in any discipline. Unlimited scope and huge movement. No vices in the barn or while riding. Goes in a loose ring snaffle for all 3 disciplines. Was imported in utero as a grand prix dressage prospect. He got too big for the owner that imported his mother and him and went to a driving trainer to compete in combined driving. Would be best as a derby/eq horse/grand prix jumper or in just pure dressage. He does have a minimal roar to him, so anything above Preliminary he would probably have to have tie back surgery. Would be a perfect lower level packer. He is incredibly honest and reliable.

Price: Asking $30,000 but need to sell ASAP so willing to consider all offers

By Leslie on

Brant Gamma Photo

Description: 2001 14.3h, Thoroughbred/Welsh Chestnut Gelding. Teddy has won 7 USEA Recognized Events in the last two years including his most recent outing at Training level with his Junior rider in a field of 20 starters. Consistently scores in the 20s and low 30s in dressage, has never had a cross-country jump penalty in over 25 competitions and hasn't had a rail in two years. Finished 5th in the Training Amateur division at the 2010 American Eventing Championships out of 51 competitors. Teddy took his last Junior rider from Beginner Novice to winning at the Training level in one year. Very flashy, careful jumper, extremely brave. Would make an excellent mount for a smaller adult amateur looking for something to be competitive on and have fun, or for a good riding kid looking to get some competitive miles.

Spectacular young horse, shows upper level potential

By Leslie on

Description: Erimus is a fancy and exceptionally talented 5 year old TB gelding who was simply not fast enough to race. He is bred to the nines for eventing with impressive names such as Halo, Roberto, and Ribot in his pedigree. Extremely soft and willing on the flat, he carries himself well and prefers to be round for any rider. He is a 10 mover with a very uphill canter and solid transitions. Working on first level movements with ease. Erimus also loves to jump and has been schooling 3'3" successfully. He is not spooky and brave to the jumps without being strong. He has cross country schooled up to Novice successfully, having no issues with banks, ditches, or water. He is preparing for his first event in June. His sweet disposition and easily trainable mind, combined with his raw talent, makes him a serious upper level eventing prospect.

In the last year, he has been showing his junior rider the ropes, qualifying for the AECs at Beginner Novice and winning Reserve Champion at the California Dressage Society Junior Championships for Training Level. His rider has decided to focus on dressage, but Fable wants to jump, so he is looking for a new partner to have fun and compete with.

Fancy, Brave Eventing Mare

By Leslie on

Description: WindRaven, 16.2 hh, 9 year old black Hanoverian mare by Windfall CB. Looking to turn heads at the show? Judges love this gorgeous, uphill mare with three lovely gaits. And she’s more than just a pretty face – Raven loves to jump and is very bold on cross country. She recently completed her first Training at Twin Rivers with her young rider, scoring a 33 in dressage and a clean cross country round. She could start schooling Preliminary now, or would also be happy competing and winning at the lower levels. Raven has qualified for the USEA Area VI championships three times. She won her first event and has had several top placings. Raven was the American Hanoverian Society Reserve Champion for Beginner Novice in 2011, and also received an Honorable Mention for Novice in 2011 and 2012. Raven would also make an excellent jumper or dressage mount. Her owner is now in college, so Raven is sadly for sale.

Exceptional branded warmblood mare. Ready to be your next superstar!

By Leslie on

Description: 2006 German Warmblood Mare standing 15.1. This gorgeous girl is a fantastic ride for an ambitious AA or JR/YR looking for a competitive horse to move up the levels with. She is kind and easy to ride but is a serious FEI Prospect, she is like a little sportscar! Schooling 2nd and 3rd level. Although this mare has previously been aimed at a strictly dressage career she has been started over fences with me and absolutely loves it! She is quite the athlete and jumps with a lovely bascule. Ready to compete in the dressage world today but is a fantastic Event or Jumper prospect as well. Ideal for a Pony Clubber. Fantastic ground manners and the best disposition of any mare I have ever worked with. Find more info and pictures of my website.
