*SOLD* Congratulations Adrienne!! 🥰

Consignment horse - Gabe

Gabe is a 5 yr old, registered TWH who has the best personality and is ready to get on the trails with his new, loving owners. He’s 15.1hh and has such a rich color to him.

Gabe leads, ties, loads, lunges, stands for farrier, fly sprays, bathes, saddles and bridles great, etc. All the basics!

He is UTD on vaccines, coggins, wormer, farrier and is ready to go! Registration papers in hand as well.

Gabe was started last year and ridden in arenas and a few times on the trails. His last trail ride was in March of this year and then due to the sudden loss of his owner, he sat for a bit. I brought him in two weeks ago and he jumped right back into everything with ease and really enjoyed being out on the trails at Hillsdale Lake. This young guy is SO promising and will make someone an excellent partner!

I will attach videos shortly but if you’d like to see them sooner, pm me and I can send them through messenger!

Ottawa, KS. Late owner’s wife is asking $8️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ obo. Cash talks right now as she would really like to get him moved asap!

✨ LADY ✨

2017 AQHA Palomino Mare | 16 HH | Ottawa, KS

Lady is a beautiful 2017 AQHA palomino mare standing 16 hands. She is a mare that I have really come to like in the short time I’ve had her and believe has the potential to make someone a very nice riding horse with continued consistency and training.

I purchased Lady on June 21st from an equine dentist as a project to give a refresher to, with the intention of either keeping her or finding her a new home depending on how she worked out for what I needed. I was told she had been sitting for approximately a year and a half and had only recently started being worked with again in their spare time.

The only history I have is that her previous owner’s niece purchased her from an auction with the intention of using her as a recipient mare, but she was never used for that purpose. She had essentially been sitting until they realized they needed to either do something with her or find her a new home.

Since bringing her home, I unfortunately haven’t had as much time with her as I originally hoped, so consistency has been lacking. That said, she has already shown me a LOT of potential.

I did groundwork with her and gave her first ride with me on June 27th. She was wonderful. We then took her on a trail ride at Hillsdale Lake on July 3rd and she was beyond perfect. I got off on the trails to move big branches and hopped back on. She was so good for me. On July 10th, I hauled her to a friend’s place down the road and rode her down their long driveway and along our gravel road. These experiences showed me that Lady can absolutely handle new environments, hauling, trail riding, and time off. She just needs someone willing to put the fundamentals and consistency back into her training.

🐴 Her Training & What She Knows

Lady is nearly perfect on the ground and is very respectful to work with.

She:

● Leads
● Ties
● Loads
● Lunges
● Backs with minimal pressure
● Stands for the farrier
● Bathes
● Fly sprays
● Handles routine handling well
● Has been trail ridden
● Hauls
● Has been ridden in different environments
● Has been ridden at a walk, trot and lope
● Has been worked through desensitizing exercises

She is a smart mare and seems to learn quickly when given clear direction.

⚠️ Full Disclosure — Lady Is NOT ready to go and ride like she’s SAFE and reliable.

I want to be completely honest about Lady because finding the right home for her is much more important to me than simply selling her.

Lady has had a few bucking/spooking incidents more recently that we are currently working through and will continue to do so until she finds her new home. I think they come from her being frightened and insecure so she’s definitely missing some foundational training that causes her to react the way she has. I’m happy to share in full detail of these incidents as well as provide videos of what I do have of them.

❤️ What I Think of Lady

Despite everything I’ve listed above, I genuinely really like this mare.

I don’t believe she is mean, aggressive, or malicious with these bucking fits. In fact, she is incredibly respectful and pleasant to handle on the ground. Her reactions seem much more consistent with a horse that is insecure, lacks some fundamentals, and needs a confident person to give her clear direction.

I think Lady is going to thrive with someone who understands horses, is confident in the saddle, and is willing to continue building her confidence and filling in the holes in her training.

She seems like the type of mare that wants to know who is in charge and needs strong, fair leadership and consistency. With the right person, I think she has the potential to become a really nice horse.

She has already shown me that she can haul, trail ride, ride on the road, work in new places, take time off, and handle a variety of situations. She simply isn’t to the point yet where I would call her a finished or beginner-safe horse by any means.

I would NOT recommend Lady for a beginner or someone looking for a finished, push-button horse. She needs an experienced, confident rider who is comfortable working through a horse’s insecurities and continuing her education.

That said, if you’re looking for a pretty AQHA palomino with a good foundation on the ground, a willing attitude, and a lot of potential to make your own, Lady is worth coming to meet.

I am happy to answer any questions, including the hard ones. I would rather tell you everything I know and find Lady the right home than leave anything out.

I am also happy to provide any photos or videos I have of her and can continue getting more as her training progresses.

✨ Dancer — 12-13yo Friesian/TB Mare | 16hh | Ottawa, KS ✨

Dancer is a wonderful, loving mare that has a big personality. She’s one who can sit for months and be just the same every time you take her out.

PROS
- Leads, ties, loads, lunges, stands for farrier, fly spray, baths, blanketing, fly mask, etc. Anything you can think of, I’ve likely done it with her.
- Can be ridden western, english, ba****ck and even side saddle.
- Rides out alone, with small or large groups, horses she knows or doesn’t know.

CONS
- Can be buddy sour but when she gets consistency, it’s minimal. I’ve always been able to ride her out alone or away form buddies, she just wants to go back.
- She can be hotter at times: prancy feet, tippy taps, etc. Always controllable.

I love this mare and we wouldn’t be letting her go if we didn’t have to. I’ve mainly trail ridden with this mare, given a couple lessons with her as well as taken a couple dressage lessons on her. I’ve chased some cattle on her that got loose, searched for a lost horse in the rain where I was the only one horseback and I haul her by herself more than I do with other horses.

She’s truly a very nice, all around mare. I would LOVE to find someone who would give me occasional updates as I would love to see her really shine with someone who gave all their attention and time into her.

Please pm me or text with questions. I’m as honest as they come and will tell you every little bad thing I can think of so you know what you’re getting but this mare is already awesome and will just continue to grow in the right hands.

*SOLD*

Check this guy out!!

*Client Horse* 18yo AQHA gelding! Ottawa, KS.

SUPERB breeding, 15hh and a SOLID build.

Rowan has come available as his owner needs something a bit different.

Update as of 6/21! Please message for videos!

Leads, ties, loads, stands for farrier, fit sprays, bathes, lunges, tacks up easily, etc.

Can be ridden alone or in a group. If he’s alone, he needs an intermediate/experienced rider as he has a bit more go to him but still listens.
Can be ridden by a beginner if he’s with his buddies as he’s very laid back and and will do whatever’s asked of him.

He will holler out for his friends if he’s pulled out of the pasture alone. Is the perfect gentleman when he’s pulled out with his buds.

Classic buddy sour horse BUT with the right person, he will do everything you ask for. If you want him as a beginner horse, you need to make sure you have him as a secondary horse where he’s always with a friend. If you want to be able to ride out alone. Then please be an intermediate to experienced rider before you reach out.

Rowan sat for nearly two years before he came to us and never bucked upon restarting him. He will however, take advantage of a beginner rider that doesn’t correct him when he’s alone which is why I’m not selling him as a beginner friendly horse unless he’s for someone who wants to put their boyfriend or friends on for them to join you in rides.

These photos are from last night (6/17). I will be getting photos either tomorrow or Sunday.

Pm to come meet him!! I will start working with him on riding alone starting next week. He will need shoes as well if you’d be riding on rocky trails. He’s a tad tender footed. Good feet, just tender.
