Dash has found his new amazing home! I have loved riding him while he was here. What an awesome horse going to amazing owner whom I have chatted to back and forth for I believe a couple years. It was so great finally meeting Jeanne and I know Dash is going to be very loved!

Congratulations on a super nice horse!

Dash Master Stoli

Dash is a beautiful thick old fashion Registered Quarter Horse gelding. He is a solid boy measuring in at 15'2H as a 8 year old.

Dash is the class clown and the social butterfly of the barn. He is always watching everything we do, and if it looks like he might get attention he is going to be at the gate or at the fenceline begging for love and cuddles. Dash has a quiet demeanor as she strolls around taking everything in.

Dash was started 30 days as a 3 year old then sat and had another 30 days as a 4 year old which was when he was sold to his current owners. He has been with their family for 4 years as a horse that young riders fell in love with and went on trail adventures such as riding Lake Michigan sand dunes. Dash was not bothered by the big waves and had an enjoyable time playing in the water.

In the arena Dash can be more of a kick ride unless you are assertive and make Dash get up and off your legs. He is extremely soft in the bridle, and has a lovely trot and his canter is a nice rolling canter. Dash will take both leads but for a young rider he makes the kids work for the canter, as a seasoned rider you will have no issues bumping Dash up into the Canter.

Dash also has a great start to neck reining and leg cues such a side pass, pivots, etc.

Dash loves to jump! He is very willing to go over poles, crossrails and verticals.

Dash has never worked cattle, but I could see him thriving in ranch riding as well.

Dash is such a sweetheart and we are excited to meet his new forever family.

Hey guys I am sharing this post my best friend sent me. This beautiful mare was here for a bit before going to Marquette, MI and she is a great one to consider! Super nice mare and stunning to look at!

Burks Jenny Rea is a homozygous black Morgan mare standing at 15'1 hands, 9 years old.

Jenny received training by a professional when she was 6 years old before I owned her.

Jenny has an adventurous personality and loves going out on trails. While I have owned her, Jenny has been out on miles of trail in Northern Michigan and will ride out with a group or alone. She trailers well, stands quietly while tied, stands for the farrier, travels through water, travels over bridges, through creeks, and around farm equipment.
I have taken Jenny over night camping where she quietly stayed in a temporary fence.

Jenny also loves jumping! She competed in an Eventing Derby, and has jumped stadium and cross country fences up to 2'3.

I fell in love with Jenny because of how safe I felt while out on the trails. While riding alone, Jenny has carried me to safety and I could tell she was going to take care of me. I live in an area where I need to be able to trust my horse and Jenny always fulfilled this.

In late June 2025, Jenny came down with a bout of laminitis that was immediately managed while I worked closely with my vet and farrier. Jenny has since been dry lotted and has been doing well on hay with low sugar content. X-rays were taken 1 month after the start of treatment and are available for serious inquiries only.
Jenny has always been kept barefoot and may benefit from scoot boots when I rough terrain.

Since, the laminitis was caught early, and doctored she has been sound and has already put many miles under her with no soreness.

Jenny is sweet, no marish tendencies, love people and good for farrier, vet, bathing, etc and no vices.

I am selling Jenny because I believe this is not the right environment for her. I would like to see her go to a home where she can get exercise year round and to someone looking to spoil this beautiful and kind girl.
I currently live in Michigans upper peninsula where the winters are brutal and the snow makes riding near impossible which has made me finally write this ad.
Jenny is located in Marquette Michigan, however I am planning a trip to lower Michigan to Hastings March 21/22 and Jenny could be seen at that time as well.

Congratulations Gracie, I can't wait to see all your fun adventures with Emmy Lou 💖
This was definitely a hard goodbye but I get to see Ember at shows and she's only 10mins down the road from me!!

CLOSED
Can Occur is 15'2H, 19 year old unraced Thoroughbred bred mare.

Ember as we call in the barn is an absolute doll! Ember was started as a 5 year old and She competed through BN Eventing and 1st level dressage. Then as a 11 year old she had a foal and had 2 more before being sold as a trail horse for an older gal. Ember then was purchased back and was been used as a lesson horse for a young rider who competed her locally at a dressage series wining many of her classes at Training level earning scores in the high 60s and low 70s. Ember competed at a Derby last year wining the starter level on her dressage score. And recently competed at an indoor jumping show.

Ember is on Osteomax but no other maintenence other than hay and grain and she is fairly easy keeper.

She doesn't look her age and has many more miles for low level jumping, fox hunting, dressage or trail riding.

I'm trying to find her a great home before foal season and down sizing my lesson horse program.

This gelding has gone from yanking his head up and down and hollowed back with an extreme amount of tension to soft and relaxed and starting to collect with only being here for 1.5 weeks! And I have 2 months with him! Super excited to see the changes for his health and it will make his kid so much happier riding him!

And I am grateful God brought me Kenzee to come and help twice a week. It is more fun training with her bubbly personality! She is a great young lady to have as a student and friend! Its been super fun watching her learn how to train and gain feel and timing for releases, she is doing a phenomenal job!
