Liberty Ridge Stables always has quality horses available for both sale and lease. Please inquire for more information. Prices are subject to change!
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.
Big Saver aka Bugs
Bugs is a 2013, 16.1h TB gelding. He retired off the track back in May 2023 after 45 starts and making just over $100k. Bugs made his way here not too long ago to start his education for his next career.
This guy is just lovely. His manners are great. His brain is unbeatable. He’s a big mover but very respectful of his rider. He’s not spooky and he enjoys having a job. While Bugs has been with us, he’s been working on his fitness, connection and building his top line. Bugs has a very lovely way of going and his canter is like a couch. Super ammie friendly for a rider working with a trainer only because his gaits are big moving.
Bugs will officially be looking for a new home shortly, but can be available to the right home very reasonably before he continues growing his education.
No vices. No unsoundnesses. Bugs is very slightly over at the knee however this should not pose limitations as he’s already proven himself on the track.
Lovely guy who is RRP eligible for 2024. Brandywine MD.
Butters is just that, adorable. He has the best manners, a quiet yet inquisitive personality and really aims to please. Butters is learning how to put all the pieces together with his flatwork. His hind end has quite a bit of power, which in time will translate to a lovely jump. Butters goes best in a lifter type bit while he figures out his balance however he is not strong or hard mouthed. Butters thrives on positive reinforcement. He’s not overly spooky and never does anything naughty under saddle. He will get tense at times if he isn’t sure he understands the question being asked. He does try incredibly hard to figure out what is being asked of him. Butters retired off the track with two minor bowed tendons. He was given almost 2 years to rehab before being brought back into race training in 2022. He has some recorded works 8/2022 that make him RRP eligible. Since 2022, he has been enjoying downtime at the owners farm as their plans took a change of direction. He has been here since fall 2023 and has been in consistent work as of 12/1(RRP kick off date). No vices.
Wilma is a lovely 2020, 16+h TB mare. Wilma is just that lovely - her movement, her manners, her brains, her in your pocket personality. She is truly a gem. Wilma is currently working on correct flatwork and connection. Wilma has been lightly started over fences and offers a natural change. She is not spooky or marish and she is the same ride even with time off. No vices. No unsoundnesses. Suitable for an ammie or junior working with a trainer. Wilma is one of the nicest TBs that has come through our barn - in every possible aspect.
Sadly for sale as the owner needs to make a decision between two RRP mounts. Wilma is a bit more huntery while our farm has a bit more of a jumper focus. She is in zero rush to find a home. She is for sale, not on sale. Special considerations given to a quality show home.
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).
