✨DOCS DUALLY DIVA “Rosie” ✨

has been selected for the North Country Select Horse Sale on October 10, 2026.

I’m excited to offer this special mare on behalf of some wonderful clients who have trusted me with her training and development.

At just four years old, Rosie has her whole life ahead of her. She’s a kind, willing mare with a solid foundation, a great mind, and the kind of conformation and substance that should carry her for years to come. This summer she’ll continue gathering miles, checking cattle, and gaining real world experience before heading to town in October.

Young horses like Rosie are the reason I love what I do. I’m proud of the horse she’s becoming and excited to showcase her this fall.

Huge Shoutout again to Grace with Rein Equine Marketing for the lovely photos and videos she captured of this mare on short notice for me. Grace does amazing work, pays attention to detail and knows how to represent a horse.

Also thank you to the Dac Ranch family for letting us come and take sale footage on their beautiful property 🤍

2014 Welsh x Morgan Mare

🤍 CITATION 🤍

Approx. 13hh

$3,000 OBO

This pretty little black mare is available on behalf of family. I’ve known her since she was born, and while she got a late start under saddle, she has shown us nothing but a willing, kind attitude.

She has lived a quiet life and spent most of her years being a horse. Because of that, she is still green for her age and is being sold as a project horse.

Recently, after having very little riding done over the years, I saddled her up and put three rides on her. She handled the time off exceptionally well and never offered any buck, rear, bolt, or silly behavior. She has also pulled a small sleigh in the winter and took to it very well.

She is best described as a mare that likes to know her person. She may be a little reserved at first, but with a gentle, patient hand she warms up nicely and tries hard to do the right thing. She is intelligent, retains what she learns, and has the kind of mind that makes me believe she has a bright future ahead of her.

She has been ridden in both a halter and a snaffle bit and is soft and responsive. Good for the farrier, recently trimmed and dewormed, and has good solid feet.

This mare is not suitable for a beginner today simply because of her lack of mileage, but she is quiet in nature and has never given us a reason to be concerned. I think she would make a fantastic project for a handy youth, small adult, ranch pony, trail partner, or all-around family horse with continued riding.

At this time I do not have riding videos available. Due to her green status, I am not offering trial rides. Serious buyers are welcome to arrange a viewing where either myself or another experienced horseman can demonstrate everything she currently knows, including saddling, handling, and riding.

Located at New Beginnings Equestrian Centre near Onoway, Alberta.

Please message if you are seriously interested.

Very grateful to Brooklynn and Trai at New Beginnings. It’s not always the smoothest having so many young horses around, but they were always very accommodating and willing to work with me and all the chaos that comes with the training horses. Going to miss my second family ❤️

Over the last year, we’ve been lucky to have Sarah Sitko with SJS Horse Training & Sales training horses out of our facility.

As Sarah heads off to a new adventure riding pasture and starting c**ts at a new location, we wanted to take a moment to thank her for her time here and wish her all the best moving forward.

While we’ll miss having her around the yard, we’re excited to see where this next chapter takes her. We know she’ll continue doing great things and making a positive impact wherever she goes.

Thank you, Sarah, for being part of our journey.

Wishing you success, safe rides, and plenty of good horses ahead! ❤️

From breaking my stirrup on Friday with all her feral pony antics to packing around her first ride like she’d done it before. Safe to say she finally decided being civilized might not be so bad after all. 😂
