Faith went to her first horse show! She had 30 days at the c**t breaker as a 2 year old, then was turned out until going to the trainer less than a month ago. When I asked if Lauren wanted to haul her along to use a spare stall she said yes. This was after a mane pull, and her first clipping (including ears). This was her first time riding with a fake tail, and she was in the warm up for the first time during the show. She was so good! Proud mama moment for sure.

Short king Indy! Keep to the Code. I am so proud of this one. He is my most homebred baby coming from 2 parents that were born and bred here. At the time of his birth I had his father, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother all on the property. He has 60 days and is so incredibly natural and talented.

I've got a few 3 year olds that still need to find a new home so I can focus on one. I also have a lonely 2 year old I would like to move before I have to send him out to get started.

2023 AQHA/APHA gelding. Also eligible for buckskin bred and Pinto. By Salt on the Rocks out of a daughter of A Sudden Impulse that was on the AQHA Leading Dams list. He's had a good start, then was gelded and turned out to allow me time to start the others. He will be going back to get a riding refresher in 2 weeks. Make me an offer before I spend more money on him, and you could own a very nice gelding that will make an excellent show partner in multiple registries.

2023 AQHA/APHA filly. Also eligible for buckskin bred and Pinto. By Salt on the Rocks out of a daughter of A Sudden Impulse that produced Congress top ten, point earners, and World Show qualifier in the WP. She had a light start and then came home to make room for starting the next one. She is a DIY dream with her mind and effortless legs. She's not a tall all around contender, but you will rock the pleasure, then add some pattern classes if you want. She is going to the trainer to start back under this saddle this weekend. You probably want to snag her fast before she gets met by more people in person.

2023 AQHA gelding. Also eligible for buckskin bred papers. By a son of VSCB and out of a Keeping It Good daughter. He was he first foal. He is a short king. I did not start him until 3 to let him grow, he just got more stout. He has 2 more weeks at the c**t breaker to get his 60 days of solid down. He is carrying a bit and looking fancy.

2024 AQHA c**t. Also eligible for buckskin bred papers. By a son of VSCB and out of a Keeping It Good daughter. His full sister is super fancy, I think he might be fancier. Grab him before he gets under saddle and proves me right!

I got new video of Lamar, CandyCoded Chocolate yesterday. He's green, wooly as a yak, and 2 inches out of balance, but look how cute 😍 More video and papers in the comments.

I am not likely to breed again this year and she's going to waste not being bred. She has crossed really well with VS Code Blue and Nite Moves. I have video of her as a 2 before a career ending injury, she was legit legged and super easy to start. She is NOT sound to ride. Believe me, I wanted to. She is a good mother. She lets a lot of the stud through, but cleans up a neck. She comes from a mare line that throws really nice show horses through generations. Does require a caslick, but was an easy breeder. I do have a couple of mares I could package her with. The link does have videos of her offspring.

Dolce was being aimed at the Congress Maiden 2s before her injury. She is a tall mare with cadence, float, and lift. She had the very trainable disposition Potential Careers are so well known for. 15.3 Maternal half sister to earners of 380 AQHA points and Congress top five: Gucci Got The Invite

I am currently laid up and not able to ride (not a horse accident). I have some great prospects available at a discount because I'm not able to put the saddle time on them, and can't afford more training on them all. The prospects are not pushed, but have the basics down for their age, and are ready to be your new partner. They were not stall raised, they grew up outside. They were started as later 2 year olds, and got an easy start. They've been turned back out and are ready to go back into work. I've updated the website $, but am willing to listen to offers.

Open to package deals, offers, and willing to consider short term payment plans on some.

2013 Keeping It Good/Gota Lota Potential mare. Ready to go under lights, or could go back into a program to restart.

2003 Gucci Only/Zips Chocolate Chip mare. Excellent produce record and mother. Could go regular breeding, ET, or ICSI while also being a great babysitter.

2023 Salt On The Rocks AQHA / APHA /A Sudden Impulse gelding. Has a good start under saddle by a good c**t breaker and is ready to enter a program. He should get your name called in multiple classes.

2023 Salt On the Rocks/ A Sudden Impulse mare. Had a light start at the c**t breaker. No buck, rear, or run off. Great DIY prospect. She's slow minded and fancy too.

2023 ICU Code Blue/ Keeping It Good filly. Has had a light start at the c**t breaker. Ready to reenter a program. Great all around prospect after showing the pleasure.

2023 Nite Moves / Potential Career filly. Has had a light start at the c**t breaker. She will be able to show throughout the day as well. Pretty and talented.

2023 ICU Code Blue/ Keeping It Good gelding. He is a short king, and I've not sent him to get started yet, but he's recently hit the thiccc stage and will be a pleasure deluxe for a smaller rider.

2024 ICU Code Blue/ Keeping It Good c**t. His picture and video was in a big growth spurt, he's leveling up again and looks great. Negotiable for an uncomplicated sale where I don't have to redo pictures and video.

Current list of AQHA and AQHA/APHA prospects and broodmares available, with updated video, pictures, papers, and information available on the website. Located very close to Congress for easy shopping and hauling. The prospects have been brought along slow, and have been allowed to be horses while growing up. Several would make great DIY projects. 3 prospects are already double registered, all 7 prospects are eligible for at least one more set of papers, 6 are eligible for 2 more currently (pinto and buckskin bred). I am willing to do a package deal on the 2 broodmares.
