She has been on trail rides and is happy to be ridden inside or outside of the arena. Wednesday has been started over fences and is happy to do that job. She is a lovely mover and would make a very nice TB Dressage mount! Extremely comfortable to ride! This mare is ready to take in any direction and eager to find her person.”

Forgiving brain, cute mover, and super cute jump! He will definitely be brave enough to be an eventer, but I think he could make super cute hunter too!

He does eventing, hunter, jumping, dressage, western games, drill team, trail riding, and you can put a beginner on him and do a lunge lesson with. You can ride him over a jumping course or run a barrel pattern then jump on him bareback and go ride around the arena for fun.”

- “Sweet as they come. Lucy has spent the last six months babysitting my other filly, and has just been restarted. Lovely mover, currently barefoot. Looks to be a very easy restart, as she didn’t care about the banging machinery as we sat on her. Would be great for a kid or AA, but talented enough project for a pro. Very sound. Ready to go!”

She is a quiet ride on the flat, keeping her own tempo on a loose rein with a rocking chair canter. Royce can neck rein and steer off leg, and has learned the basics of lateral work. She has started learning about contact, and is proving to be a quick study. Royce was started over fences this summer, and is confidently jumping small courses and grids.”

- “This young, talented prospect could go any direction. He just completed his first horse trial, finishing on his dressage score. He is an energetic and eager to please type so best suited for a scrappy teen rider, adult amateur in a program, or professional on a budget. He is brave, bold, and takes you to the jump and will have plenty of scope when he learns to jump through his back a bit better.”
