Horses! Horses! Horses!

The ultimate bond between horse and rider is first achieved through mutual trust and respect. When a horse needs to live in a man-made environment, it needs a positive yet empathetic leader. A leader who understands the horse's need to build self-confidence and courage before it can deviate from its natural instincts. And remember the importance of also showing your horse confidence. Something that is often overlooked, but which is one of the most important ingredients in a strong bond.

POCAHONTAS, IL


This is one of my most favorite colts I've been around. It's been a pleasure watching him grow up and blossom into such a beautiful moving, well balanced horse. He is one that I do not want to see go, because he is that once in a lifetime horse that a person does not come across very often.


Trip is a 3 yr old - very friendly, easy to handle, great with the farrier. There are no "holes" in him mentally or physically - in other words he is sound. Trip has been started under saddle this late winter with no issues - the kind we like to say are born "broke." Will continue to bring him along until we find the right match for him.


He has a head full of sense and a big heart to try anything you ask of him. I can see him going any direction under saddle - but think he would absolutely shine as a western dressage mount, reined cow horse, breakaway, mounted shooting etc! The talent is there, his phenomenal mind is willing, and the conformation is on point when looking for a prospect.


Trip's up to date on vaccinations, farrier work, deworming, and has had his wolf teeth removed & teeth balanced by a professional equine dentist.


A current coggins will be pulled before he is rehomed, health certificate will be at buyers expense. PPE's welcomed

May 19, 2019 Smoky Black Mare 15.2

RPA MR DEW BREEZE x SEBERTS THUNDER


Nala is loaded with talent, nicely put together, beautiful color and markings that really stand out.

We have mostly been trail riding her but do work her in the arena. She has a slow walk, a nice pitter patter trot and her lope is quite nice to sit - but if you ask for her to turn if up a notch - be ready because she is quick footed & powerfully fast.


She is handy broke so if you appreciate a horse that lightly responds to cues like side passing, turning, and walk to canter departures with ease - this mare is all that & more.

We hauled her to South Dakota last year & she handled everything very nicely for her first big trip & seeing all the new trails, bikers, buffalo, carefully picking her way through the rough terrain, big creek crossings there was to see.


She is an ideal ranch pleasure show, western dressage, or breakaway roping prospect but would also make a great sorter. She loves to pin her ears and work cattle even though she has limited exposure with them.


She has never offered to buck, rear, or run away. She is the same horse no matter how long it's been since she was last ridden. This is a very trainable mare with so much potential to go any direction. She is currently being ridden by a 15 yr old girl who always picks her to ride over all the others.

Very friendly and personable, great with other horses etc.

Videos are available

Calvin Clyde

2017 Clydesdale X Standardbred

16.2 hand Bay gelding


****Low-Mid 5 figures****


Calvin - is such a special gelding and I only want THE best of the best for him. He is truly a magical ride that only continues to shine brighter after every ride we go on. I'm in no hurry to move him and be very selective with where he goes.

Very sweet, willing, personable horse who loves to learn through positive reinforcement training. He feels so wonderful to ride. Calvin has a beautiful and incredible smooth walk trot & lope to him. He responds off my seat and voice eagerly - I never feel insecure nor any negative emotion while riding him - he is so tuned in, tapped on, two heart beats synced into one - not many people get to come across a horse like this in a lifetime.


He would be one that would also love to do liberty work with. He is a natural!


He absolutely loves going on trail rides - we have ridden in the mountains of South Dakota & he was a rock star out there, stepping out so fluid & happily. I change things up for him often so we are exposed to it all trails, arena, field riding, cattle etc. I like to keep my horses minds enriched instead of the typical trainers way of riding and it has rewarded me ten fold for all the horses I have trained.

I'm looking for a forever home that strives to be the best horseman they can be, and build a strong bond with him just like he and I have, and take 5 star care of him - keeping him happy mentally & physically. Weather you are looking at doing some dressage, western dressage, or equitation - dont miss your opportunity to have such a remarkable horse to share your life with.

Calvin is good with anyone who shows kindness to him. I make sure to set every one of his human encounters up so everyone feels comfortable (most people are not familiar with being around big horses so they are on edge ) and he continues to have confidence in other people.

Calvin is easy to halter (will come running up from the pasture when you call his name), loads in the trailer like a pro (and backs out easily), hauls great (I have hay in front of my horses when hauling at all times) no issues with him being saddled, etc.

He has had his teeth recently worked balanced with no issues, up to date on deworming, hoof care, and chiropractic care when needed.

He LOVES his "bath time" and really enjoys playing with the water spritzing in his mouth. Of course I have pictures of him enjoying this :D

I list him as a 5 but as he continues being worked with , I see him being an even lower number in the right hands. Dont get me wrong, he IS athletic and has lots of potential but his nature is quiet, forgiving yet eager to learn. He will ride off in a rope halter and reins no mater if I ride him 3 times a week, once a week or once a month.

He is sound, sane, and a dream come true.

Respect


"Horses that are disrespectful are not happy horses. You're not giving them a good life. It's a hateful, violent life. So by not stepping up and doing you job, you are being cruel. Because somewhere along the line, if he's ever going to be worth a damn for anything, someone is going to have to line him out, and them put him through 9 kinds of hell to get him to where you change the behavior pattern he's been living his whole life. Well, that's not very fair either. So you're better off to just have him behave."
