Horse Purchasing Policy:
If a buyer is interested in moving forward with one of our horses, a 10% non-refundable deposit pulls the horse off the market for a week to set up a pre-purchase exam. After the exam, the buyer has 24 hours to determine if the buyer would like to move forward with the purchase or terminate the sale. If the buyer chooses to terminate the sale and releases the pre purchase exam and all records (X-rays, blood results, etc) then 50% of the deposit will be refunded. If the buyer opts to not go through with a pre-purchase exam, the deposit is 100% non-refundable.
Buyers are welcome to set up a PPE without putting down a deposit however the horse will continue to be advertised for sale and shown to other prospective buyers. By not putting down a deposit, it is not guaranteed that the horse will still be available.
What a Rumor aka Rumor
Rumor is a 2018, 15.3+h barefoot TB gelding. Rumor has been with us for the better part of 2024 and has been a fun mount to bring along. Rumor currently WTC and is jumping around small fences. He’s a stout guy with great feet and an ‘in your pocket‘ personality. He’s been very easy to handle in the barn and truly aims to please. Rumor will do best with a rider that can help him continue his education and building his confidence. He has a big motor but is not a hot or forward ride. Once he figures out his body, he will have a lovely jump - he’s currently figuring out his balance and his hind end and how they work together. He’s not spooky but can ‘look’ at things however there is no dirty behavior undersaddle. He’s the same ride if ridden daily or has some time off. Great in the cross ties, wash stall, for the vet and the farrier. No vices. No unsoundnesses. He’s just generally an all around good dude.
Rumor is slated for RRP2024 however with my business pulling me in a bit of a different direction, he’s being offered for sale to the right home. Rumor will be headed to his first horse show mid-June. He is best suited for a confident intermediate working with a trainer.
We are all ‘smitten for Smitty’. Smitty is a 2016, 16h TB gelding who made over $500k on the track. He retired due to a sesamoid fracture and was given ample rehab and turnout time. Xrays show that his fracture healed wonderfully, he is ready to get back to work and his career should be non-limiting. Smitty is getting back into shape and he’s truly proving to show just how much of an athlete he truly is. This guy enjoys having a job, he’s fancy, he’s brave and he’s insanely athletic. Smitty is slated to attend RRP 2024 however he can be available to a suitable show home.
Asking $8,500, negotiable and only to the best of homes. Smitty is extremely athletic and a bit quirky (in all good ways) however he requires a tactful, soft handed rider who doesn’t mind a forward, happy horse.
Buffy is a 2015, 16.1h Trakehner mare. Buffy is casually seeking a new partner as her current human is headed to college this fall. Buffy has dabbled in a bit of everything - hunters, jumpers, dressage and eventing. Her flat work is lovely, she’s educated, responsive and enjoys working. She does have her own motor so she’s not for a rider seeking a kick ride. Buffy is best suited in the hunters, jumpers or dressage arenas (she tolerated XC but didn’t have the love for it). She has a massive step, round jump and is brave to the fences. She enjoys a softer rider who can use their body to help regulate vs a rider who uses more hand. She is a big moving mare, so she does need an educated rider that won’t be intimidated by her movement. She’s straightforward undersaddle with zero funny business. She is a joy to have in the barn and has filled in for lessons on many occasions. Buffy most recently completed at WEC Ocala this winter in the .80-.90m jumpers with her current rider. No show prep. Easy to handle at the shows as she is extremely professional. Buffy does have changes but they are not confirmed. No vices. No unsoundnesses. Buffy does have mild shivers which requires a Vitamin E supplement (this has not affected her performance).
