About Our Horses for Sale
We enjoy developing horses potentials and abilities. We know we can’t be every horse’s very own person. We CAN prepare the horse and open doors to find that person!
We take our time with the horses we represent. We develop a rigorous foundation in each horse using classical dressage and natural horsemanship, establishing a solid base of trust, confidence, and problem-solving ability. We let their individual temperaments and talents help us guide them towards the specialties in which they’ll thrive.
Our horses are friendly, respectful and fun friends on the ground. Under saddle, our horses learn lightness, responsiveness and partnership. The result? An unforgettable ride!
We honestly represent the horses we offer for sale. Because most people’s relationship with their horses is a fairy-tale come true, we strive to create ‘happily-ever-afters!’

Imperial Vision – 2003 TB Gelding
Vision is a lovely, 2003, 16 hand bay TB gelding. He was too slow for the track and was retired in 2007. He had several years of let-down time as a pasture pet before he came here to find his next career.
Viz is a beautiful mover with a good brain and a kind heart. He is willing and obedient in a happy mouth snaffle. I used him in a couple of lessons this summer with an advanced student who immediately fell in love with him, and would have bought him had she not been entering her freshman year of college! He has clean legs, maintains a good hoof barefoot, and is up to date on worming, shots and dentistry. We are currently asking $1250.00.
Here is Viz’s recent introduction to related fences:
This is Viz’s first introduction to jumping, taken a few days after he arrived. We were thrilled with his rolling canter and easy rhythm, which has only improved with schooling!
Our working student fell in love with Viz on sight. This is maybe his third ride since coming out of retirement:
They moved on into the field without skipping a beat:

Drummer Boy – 2007 Pinto Friesian Percheron Cross Gelding
Let this extraordinary Pinto Friesian Percheron cross color your world! Drummer Boy is already around 16 hands at coming 4 years of age. He will have the size to impress and the substance to carry it soundly. His look-at-me color (complete with rare ink-spot markings) and flowing mane (carefully combed over for this conformation photo) complement his correct conformation and movement.
Drummer Boy has a quiet, sweet personality that make training sessions a true joy. His solid foundation includes natural horsemanship type groundwork, sacking out, longeing, and ground driving. Drummer Boy is currently priced at $4900 or best reasonable offer. He will be started under saddle next month, and his price will increase then.

Angus MacCloud – 2005 Thoroughbred Shire Sport Horse
We are absolutely crazy about Angus, our 6 year old, 16.1 hand Shire-TB! With his great mind, cloud-like gaits, and storybook look., what’s not to love!
Friends leased our TB Deva’s Delight, now known as Angel’s Gift. They bred her to the breathtaking registered Shire, Knutsford Edward. Thus came Angus into this world. When they found they couldn’t keep horses any longer, we joyfully welcomed him home!
Angus has the sweet personality and trainability of his mama, and his daddy’s power and charisma. His groundwork and long-lining are solid. He has been lightly started under saddle. Even before he was officially “started,” Angus came along for many of our off-the-farm adventures where he has learned to trailer quietly, to wait calmly, and to focus on his person though the chaos of the show grounds. This gorgeous youngster is becoming quite the worldly gentleman… and he never fails to attract an admiring crowd!
Angus is not currently in training (strictly due to personal reasons) and his price reflects this. $5500.
Everyone Loves Angus…even Argent the barncat!
Even as a youngster, Angus was irresistable! In this photo I’d brought him in for a trim… and couldn’t resist hopping up on him for a bareback ride around the paddock.
Enjoy this clip of Angus’ sire, Knutsford Edward:

Hi Mom!
I’ve battled with gmail the past few days trying to send pictures of Noche to his owner, to no avail. So, he gets his own blog post!
Noche is happy as a clam with his buddy Caber, muddy from a recent roll. They particularly love to race up the long hill. I was hoping to get a picture of them thundering up for feeding but they were already waiting for me- I think they know when we break out the camera!

Denya’s Wish – 2003 Reg. TB Mare For Sale
Wish has been off the track for several years, living a life of leisure in our pasture! She does her natural horsemanship groundwork like a champ, and is very light and sensitive to ride.
I had initially purchased Wish as a show hunter prospect. She is a very fancy mover! Wish’s bloodlines, which include greats such as Fappiano and Best Turn, suggest future success in sport horse disciplines.
Wish sustained a wire cut to the front of her right hind leg in 2007. We cared for it meticulously and it healed well, but did leave a scar. The vet says because it is on the front of her leg (rather than the back where all the support structures are) she should have no trouble with future strenuous riding and jumping.
Wish is our “Daddy’s Girl.” Mark is totally in love with her! However, at 6′ tall, he is too big for her. Any home is subject to his approval! We are currently asking $800.00.
**Newsflash**
The stars finally aligned and we got a little impromptu video of Wish! I joke because this fall it has seemed almost impossible to schedule a video shoot. Wish is not in anything resembling work- I basically pulled her in from the pasture. I was so proud of how calm and obedient she was. When you add impulsion her movement really shines, but this day I was going relaxation rather than brilliance. Mark was still setting up the camera when I got on, so I hopped off at the end and remounted to show how she stands quietly on a loose rein for mounting. (Note- since I broke my back I wear the back protector every ride- it’s no reflection on my expectations for Wish!)

New Pictures of Coltie, Gypsy Sporthorse
I can’t believe how fast Coltie is growing up! Mark and I still have yet to agree on a “real name” 
He just keeps getting nicer and nicer, and still has the same phenomenal, teddy-bear temperament. He sure has his daddy’s Gypsy Cob conformation! His wild Gypsy mane is on the OTHER side!
Coltie was born on April Fools Day in 2008.
