Blue Rayon - SOLD 7/08
Okay, I normally only bring back drafts and crosses, but I occasionally find another I can't resist. Rayon is one of those. She is the sweetest mare, well broke and safe enough for me to put my 6 yr old on to walk, trot and canter by herself and the fact that she is so pretty is just icing! After seeing how gentle and easy she was for my daughter to ride, I decided to see if I could ride her bareback in just a halter - piece of cake. So then we tried a haystring. This mare is amazing - easy to ride even with only a string around her neck. She has good ground manners and can be groomed and tacked up by beginners, but she is a little apprehensive with baths still (I'm sure that will change as it gets hotter). She has a great neck rein, picks the the smoothest canter easily and is good out on the trail (although she walks out very fast)! A great horse for a younger rider or more timid lady.

Lady (Muley Girl) - SOLD 7/08
Lady is a 5 yr old, 16 hand leggy molly mule. She is broke to ride and is a great trail mount. She has super smooth gaits and goes english, western or bareback equally well. She is good with her feet, clips, ties, bathes and loads. I think she'd make a nice english mule - look at her jumping pictures! She tries hard for her rider, will go out with other horses or out by herself. She is not barn sour and has no vices. She is a mule; however, and although a beginner can ride her, I'd recommend her for an experienced horseperson (or mule person) as she depends on her handler for confidence.

Ichabod - SOLD (5/08) Congratulations Jackie of Susanville, California!!
www.johnstonfamilycarriages.com
Yes, he's tall and skinny - thus the name. But with dental work, good feed and exercise, he's gaining weight nicely. This is one of the sweetest horses we've had. He is very affectionate and will follow you around while you clean his stall, bugging you to scratch him with the rake! Ichabod is broke to ride and drive and has good ground manners. He is good with his feet, standing for the farrier (no stocks needed), he clips (but prefers you to start slowly at first), ties, loads and trailers. He stands perfectly still for harnessing, hitching, saddling, etc. Ichabod is the kind of horse you can bond with strongly and once he trusts you, you have his heart and he will try his hardest for you. He is a timid horse - not "spooky" but will look to his rider or driver for confidence. If you are looking for a partner to go trail riding with friends or a horse you can drive around the neighborhood with, then here's your boy!

Rodney - SOLD Congratulations Fort McDowell Adventures!
Rodney is a 5 yr old, 17 hand, Belgian/Quarter Horse Cross gelding. He is broke to drive single and double and well broke to ride. We ride him english, western, bareback, double, triple, backwards...he doesn't care! I used him alot this past christmas to take our family and friends out on drives with our wagonette. He is a nice big mover with potential for dressage, lower level eventing, english or western pleasure. He is great out on the trail (see the short video clips), not a deadhead, but not spooky either. We have been working on his arena work and he is coming along nicely - starting to bend and flex, moves well off leg and is consistent with his leads. Great with his feet, clips, ties anywhere, loads, bathes, etc. A really nice solid horse for any level rider - no vices - safe, sound and sweet!!!

MINA - SOLD Congratulations Culver Riding Academy in Indiana!
Mina is a black, 3 1/2 yr old, 17 hand, Percheron/Standardbred Cross Mare that is broke to ride and drive. She is a dominant mare in the pasture, but loves people attention and is a sweetheart - first one to greet you at the gate! She is good with her feet, clips, loads, ties and has good ground manners. I have been so busy with the others that poor Mina has kind of gotten a little neglected on the riding side. With more time now after the holidays, I'll be back to riding her and will update her page to reflect evaluation and progress. I have her listed for an intermediate rider because of her age, but I believe she will be easy enough for a novice with a little more time under saddle..

Cheyenne - SOLD Congratulations Kristin in Care Free, AZ!!
Cheyenne is a uniquely colored sport horse prospect. She is a 4 year old, Clydesdale Appaloosa cross mare. She has had plenty of time to grow up just hanging out in the pasture with her friends. We have recently started her under saddle and she is receptive and gentle with the typical laid back draft personality. Her first ride went smooth as butter. She has not offered to do anything out of step, is 100% sane and sound with no vices. We will start trail riding her to build her up physically and expose her mentally after her 10th arena ride. She is a nice mover and cute over fences. I will keep her sale page and description updated as her training progresses. Please contact me for more info on this pretty mare.

Black Opal - SOLD
Opal is a black, 14.2 hand, 12 year old Tennessee Walker Mare. She is spry and sweet, gentle and loves people and attention. I bought her from an Amish man who had raised a few babies from her and she was underweight and lacking muscle tone. She has since put on some good weight and we are working on building her strength back up. She has a stepping pace that is comfortable and easy to maintain, she's good on the trail - will lead or follow and is equally good in the arena. A sweet little mare that would be a good mount for an older, lady rider that would appreciate a smooth ride and gentle horse. She could also be a nice backyard, family horse. She clips, loads, ties and is good with her feet.

Skittles - SOLD Congratulations to T.R.O.T. Theraputic Riding Program of Tucson!
Skittles is a 4 yr old, 14.2 hand Percheron/Paint Draft Cross Pony. He is cute as a bug and gentle as a dog. Stout enough to carry a large man but easy enough for a child to ride - does it get any better? He rides and drives, very broke for both. I drove him alot over Christmas and guests rode him out on the trail. He is beginner safe and fun for anyone. A great whole family horse, lesson horse, pony club mount, trail horse, ??? Not spooky, sound, safe, sweet - ties, clips, loads, great with feet.

"Bryton" is a beautiful Percheron/Paint
mare, 3 years old. She is athletic, has great conformation, wonderful
bone & feet and unusual, flashy coloring with a gorgeous blue eye.
You will not go unnoticed in whatever you do with her! Most importantly
she is SAFE and SOUND (body and mind). She is as close to "bombproof"
as I have ever had. Gentle and kind enough for any level rider. She
has been under saddle for almost 1 year now and has a good walk, trot,
canter. She is starting her basic dressage work: bending, flexing, straightness
and forwardness. We have also started her over crossrails. She trail
rides wonderfully, goes english, western and bareback. She has a light
mouth & is resonsive to aids. NO VICES - NO SPOOK! Currently 15.2
hands (just turning 4), 1500 lbs - will mature at least 16 hands.
Price: $6,500 |
