Lily-16+h 2002 Hanoverian-TB Mare

Posted on April 9, 2012 by admin

Lily is a fun, forward mare with a cuddly and loving personality!  She has a beautiful face, clean legs and great conformation.  In the short time she has been with us, Lily has made progress in basic dressage, exhibited a talent for jumping, and gained a love of trail riding.  She recently participated in her first foxhunt and was a superstar! She galloped like a dream on the runs, stood on a loose rein at the checks, and kept her wits when hounds and huntsmen ran past.  We have only brushed the surface of Lily’s abilities and potential!

Lily was a beloved pleasure horse in her “past life.”  She is free from blemishes or unsoundness.  She stands quietly for the vet and farrier, for clippers, for baths, or just to be loved on in the aisle or stall.  Lily loads and unloads willingly from both a straight and slant-load trailer.

Lily is a granddaughter of the great French distance stallion, Val de l’Orne.  I was told by a pedigree expert that Val de l’Orne’s is “one of the best TB jumping lines in existence, and has been for at least 4 generations of sires. ”

This video clip shows Lily’s first free jumping school, and first time tackling an in-and-out.  I loved watching her figure things out, experiment with the striding, and learn to use her body in new, more powerful ways.  The geldings watching from the pasture were certainly impressed ;-)   She cleared each fence eagerly and effortlessly, promising a great future over fences.  Currently asking $5500, price will increase with training.

Imperial Vision – 2003 TB Gelding

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Kirsten

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:

Angus MacCloud – 2005 Thoroughbred Shire Sport Horse

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Kirsten

Thoroughbred Shire Sport Horse Gelding for sale

tb shire horse for sale hunt event show

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:

Denya’s Wish – 2003 Reg. TB Mare For Sale

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Kirsten

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!)
