Sales

Selling horses really isn't our thing- first of all, I'm much better at impulsive horse shopping than I am methodical horse selling, second, I have no salesmanship whatsoever. I KNOW that the best way to sell a horse is to create some hype and then stand back and let the potential client fall in love- but I just can't seem to do it! Instead I tell every single one of the horse's bad habits (I don't want you to hate him once you've got him home!) and I love so many horses that it is hard to act like this one is more special than all the rest. I also realize that often people want a 17 hand warmblood, but what they need is maybe a quiet appendix with nice enough movement and submision to get through a 2nd level dressage test. A big part of selling sport horses is creating that 'we are really big time here' environment, and we are way too laid back for that. Come'on- we have warmbloods and mustangs on the same page! :-) So if you want a high level competition blue blooded sport horse prospect, we do know a few that are just as fancy as the big breeding farms,... but don't expect a Devon like backdrop or a lot of hype. It just isn't us. The horses below we have in training or had in training. We know of plenty of other horses for sale that we can point you to if nothing below looks like a fit.

Winston

Awesome Quarter Horse/Belgian cross gelding. 5 years old. About 16 hands. Winston is a remarkably good mover for his breeding and is a very steady eddie. Actually, he is down right bombproof!! He needs a little leadership on the ground or he can get pushy, but over all he is an easy to get along with kinda guy. He goes steady on the bit walk, trot, and canter. He is also fairly bold over fences and has gone foxhunting. Would also be a great first event horse or for use vaulting or giving riding lessons. He LOVES attention and is very sociable. He is playful and loves to check everything out. Winston has a great work ethic and wants to have a job. $4,000 or best offer. In a better market this would easily be a $7,500 horse!!!! Seller is motivated.

Donnie

17 hand 7yo Andalusian/TB gelding. Long and lean, pitch black, big flowing stride. Donnie is a Steady-Eddie with a St Bernard personality. Would be great in the hunter ring or low level dressage. With some work he could make a nice equitation horse. He is not for a total beginner, but is uncomplicated and pretty reliable and on the lazier side. Donnie gets better and better with work work work- especially cross training. He would be great for a lesson program or a family of riders. At one point three different people were riding him and he didn't seem to mind at all. The perfect owner for Donnie would do some dressage, a lot of jumping, and lots of trail riding or hacks through the fields. He is advancing daily and is one of my favorite rides of the day. $15,000 obo.

Video is very outdated- His gaits are now much more uphill, his canter work has noticibly improved, his jumping is also more solid, he gained a lot of muscle weight, and he is starting flying lead changes. Video of Donnie...

Adoptions

If you are interested in adopting a gentled mustang we may be able to hand select a few mustangs from the Illinois holding facility to bring here for gentling. Price still $125 per mustang.

Each horse below is a BLM mustang that we are gentling for adoption. Each horse can be adopted for $125! YES! That is right, you only pay $125 for a beautiful gentled mustang that has every bit as much potential as a pricey purebred. Help solve the problem of unwanted horses and own a part of America's Heritage- adopt a mustang! It might make you wonder why we 'waste' our time with mustangs when we are getting paid to train top notch warmbloods, but gentling a mustang is such a rewarding experience and there is really nothing else quite like it. One of these horses may just surprise you!!!

Sorrel Pony Mare ADOPTED!!

This pony is 2 1/2 years old and about 13.2-3 hands and cute as a button! She is VERY sociable and thinks humans are the greatest thing since baled alfalfa. She let us halter and lead her almost immediatly and even accepts a saddle. She adores being groomed on and has a mane to just die for. She is too young to be ridden now, but if she takes to a rider like she has everything else, she should make a very wonderful kid's pony. I can see her going to hunter shows and bringing home the ribbons. An experienced young rider could probably put the first rides on her.

Big Bay Mare ADOPTED!!

This mare is about 15 hands now, but is young (2 yo)and big bodied. I wouldn't be surprised if she finishes close to 16 hands. Very sociable and friendly, I secretly want to keep her. (Shh, don't tell!) Her angles are very nice and she has above average intelligence. Could make an excellent performance prospect.

Blue Roan Mare ADOPTED!!

This timid girl is pretty small now(14.2 ?), but being she is only two years old and long legged, so I think she will finish around 15 hands (these are only guesses though- no way to know for sure!) I don't think she will get the thickness that the bay mare will certainly have. She is very quiet and respectful. Although shy, she is quite interested in people. She is the lowest in the pecking order, but that can be a good thing- she is accustomed to taking orders and is not the type to ever be pushy or in your space. Her face is a thing of beauty and I think she would do just about anything for a person with good fair leadership abilities.

Grey Gelding ADOPTED!!

Long legged and quite the mover but NEEDS a handler with experience. This 2 year old grey has somthing about him that makes me think there is a lot of potential beyond his flightly overly sensitive character. If you are looking for a challenge, here he is. He has been making good progress and makes a very concious effort to control his emotions, and I can't help but love him for it. We have been putting more time into the mares and not pushing him, so at this point he is still very 'fresh.' His gaits are just fabulous and he will have an awesome extended trot!
