Super fun Training Level Eventer

By Leslie on , Filed Under Area 2, b) $5,000-$15,000, Sport Horse Nation and , ,

Description: Very sadly being offered for sale. Taylor's a 10 year old 15.1 Percheron/Welsh Pony X currently eventing at the training level. Super fun ride, called a "sports car" by Stephen Bradley. Solid flat work, cute mover with a great walk, works on the bit, basic lateral movements (shoulder in, haunches in, leg-yields, etc). Scored a 34 at his most recent T event with only a couple seconds time on XC to pull him out of 4th. Awesome little handy jumper, will jump anything from anywhere at any speed. Has done jumpers up to 3'9" and always places. Great personality, practically bombproof without being boring-- really funny personality. Never been off a day in 4 years (knock on wood!), good for farrier/vet/bath/clip/tie. Would be absolutely perfect for a pony clubber or a small adult. I can't say enough about how great he is, and for the moms out there, my mom can tell you, he's the only horse she's trusted me on since I got him as a 13 year-old (she's crying as she's reading this). Tons of pics and videos available.

Adjectives: Athletic, Fun, Safe

Price: Asking $15,000 but considerations will be made for a great home.

SPF’s Big Idea – Training Packer

By Leslie on , Filed Under Area 3, c) $15,000-$30,000, Sport Horse Nation and , ,

Description: 2004, 15.3 hand percheron cross mare. Brandy has never had a XC fence penalty- point and shoot, she looks for the flags. This mare is a huge confidence builder, super reliable and just plain FUN to jump. Consistent top 10 finisher at training level horse trials, completed Midsouth T3D in the middle of the pack in 2011. Brandy is a “go-ey” type, but not going to run off with you, confident and generally has no problem making time on XC. She is easy to keep fit- TB mentality with the reliability of a draft cross! Brandy is a great move up horse for a strong pony rider- she will keep your kid (or you!) safe out there!! She is very sound and a been there, done that campaigner, she knows her job! Tons of pics and video available.
