Man we have been busy this year and it’s only April 1st! Clay, Maui and Legend have all found their perfect homes. On top of that, my surgeon has given me the “all clear” to get back in the saddle. Sorry Gilbert, time to get back to work! Stay tuned as we prepare to fill the barn up again!

Who’s looking for a real life unicorn?! I’m talking the perfect young horse who has A rated jumper miles at the 3’ levels with a 16 year old rider, hacks around beautifully with a 11 year old rider and then has played in the hunter ring and xc schooled. Legend is your guy! He is very very very reasonably listed for a horse with quite the resume, his current family is looking to add a mini Prix horse to their string and unfortunately need to make room!

Legend came to my farm in summer 2023, he was very quickly matched with a solid confident 14 year old rider who has produced him up through the jumper levels herself. His rider has schooled him up to 3’6” with A show miles through 3’. She describes him as “super game” for anything you point him at, seems to really love cross country. She said he is super sweet on the ground, fun to ride and be around, always willing! Legend has played in the hunter ring at schooling shows and done derby type of courses. He has a confirmed flying change.

Legend enjoys the occasional trail ride and go with or without a rider. He stands tied at the trailer, good with the vet and farrier, has no “quirks” or soundness issues.

Sounds too good to be true right?! Told you it’s a unicorn. This boy has great miles under his belt all with young riders. Now- I should say that his young riders are solid confident riders who are comfortable with young horses. This horse is not suitable for beginners or timid riders and he can have his moments of getting excited, no buck/rear or spook under saddle, no stop at fences, just can build and get quick during a course. He prefers a quiet rider.

Legend is listed for 2️⃣5️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣. He is located in . ***Please note** I am listing him
for his family as they do not have social media, I will forward serious inquiries onto his family!

We hauled 6 horses over to our friends at Swan Creek Stables to get updated sale videos for our 3 horses and for a Foxglove Stable field trip! All of the horses were on their best behavior after they settled in and great rides by all!! Hard to say which horse gets the gold star of the day since they were all perfect! Thank you so much to Amanda Suglia for sharing her farm with us, ViKtória Bodnár for catch riding my babies for me and spending the day helping, and Brittany Wanda Karen Sullivan Atkins Alex Faust for the amazing lessons!

Let’s talk about who has the best brain for a baby 4 yr old TB. Anyone that knows me has probably heard me say “buy the brain, train the rest”! Clay has only been ridden twice in the last year, between having a baby and breaking my shoulder. He has a sale appointment scheduled tomorrow so I hauled him over to our friends at Foxglove Stable so he can see an indoor before the appointment. After MAYBE 10 minutes on the lunge, he took a deep breath and was instantly calm and relaxed. He arrived at my farm in July 2024, right before I found out I was pregnant, so he’s pretty much got to hang out in the field and grow up. I think he’s going to be pretty special 🥰 If anyone’s looking I probably have some of the best brained tbs in my barn right now!

We have 3 really great TBs available and we’re motivated to find them their homes before winter sets in! Unfortunately, I broke my shoulder a few months ago and will be out of the saddle until spring time. Id like to find them their person instead of having them sit in the field all winter! All 3 are sound and ready to get to work.

All are located in Columbia station Ohio

1. Gilbert (JC:gilcrease) 5 year old 16.2 ottb gelding. Very good boy under saddle despite being quite green, barn favorite that everyone loves to ride. Slight more of a kick ride but doesn’t under stand what leg means so that can change with mileage. He is a cribber controlled with strap. Upper 4 figures.

2. Clay (JC: Clay kicker) 4 year old 16.1-16.2h ottb gelding. Clay has been turned out in my field for over a year due to life circumstances and he is ready for a job! He is responsive under saddle and slightly more go than whoa but we do carry a crop and have to give him the occasional kick. Picks up things quickly and should be a fun project! No vices, Mid 4 figures

3. Maui (mahalo ‘22 not registered with JC). 3 year old 16.1-16.2 gelding. Not raced, registered or broke. This is a horse that will be a great project for someone to start from the ground up. Requires a very experienced trainer to start him under saddle. Happiest when he’s in the field and doesn’t love being stalled, he’d love a pasture board set up! Bottom 4s or OBO.

Clay (jc clay kicker)
4 year old
16.1-16.2 ottb gelding
Columbia station Ohio

Clay is a 4 year old, 16.1-16.2 ottb gelding. This boy is THICK and has a very large barrel to him, he has no problem taking up a riders leg. Clay is easy to handle on the ground and a pleasure to have in the barn. He’s friendly and wants the attention from whoever may have snacks, he is respectful and doesn’t get mouthy when begging! He gets along with every horse in the field and is the bottom or middle of the totem pole. He does well with dominant horses and keeps to himself in the field, but doesn’t mind taking charge if he’s with a passive horse. He did well with my mini in turn out! The best way to describe Clay is that he tends to match the energy of the barn/herd mates. If you have an anxious nervous horse he’ll mimic it but if you have a quiet chill buddies he’ll meld right in.

Even though he’s only 4 and fairly green, he tries hard to figure out what his rider is asking. He’s a happy medium of kick and go, uncomplicated in the bridle, and responsive to the riders leg aids. I think this boy will be a fairly easy restart for an experienced rider.

Clay came to my barn the summer of 2024, I found out I was pregnant shortly after he arrived and made the decision not to start my young horses while pregnant. Clay hung out in the field all winter and spring while I adjusted to new mom life. In July 2025 I was starting my string of young horses and unfortunately came off one (not him) and broke my shoulder. I am once again grounded and Clay is still chilling in the field. He’s had close to a year of turn out due to life circumstances and is more than ready to get into training. Recently, We pulled him out of the field after sitting for 9 months, after a few min on the lunge we hopped right on and picked up where we left off. By ride two he was quiet and relaxed from the start. He excels quickly from each ride!

Clay has no limitations and can go in any direction that his rider wants! Due to his size, age, and current training level I would not recommend him for a beginner, inexperienced or timid rider. This guy will be perfect for an experienced rider who is looking for their next project.

Clay is located in Columbia station Ohio and listed for $6750

Maui (mahalo ‘22) is an unraced, unnamed, unregistered, and basically unbroke 3 year old ottb gelding. He is the definition of a fresh start. He has been barefoot and living in a field during his years and is ready for someone to teach him the ropes.

I have taken the last 10 months off of riding after having a baby and recovering from C section complications. I brought this guy to my farm as a pasture buddy to hang out and keep my other horses company while I recovered. He is bottom of the totem pole, as evident from his bite marks, and does great as a companion for pushier horses. He was quite nervous when he first arrived and it’s been fun to watch him take a deep breath and become so quiet and relaxed to handle. Anyone can turn him out, he follows quietly on a loose lead and easy to lead with a second horse. He stands happily to be loved on and melts into your hands. He has no mouthiness at all and one that the kids love to pet.

Unfortunately maui does have some quirks to him that makes him suitable for a professional only. I will be full disclosure in PM for any of quirks as my main priority is to find him the best and suitable home. One of his biggest quirks is that he does best on pasture board, he can be stalled if needed, but he does stall walk when inside. Due to this I will only consider homes for him that can provide ample turn out. Secondly, even though he is race trained Maui showed to have a panic mode when mounting. He needs a professional rider who can treat him as unbroke and handle a nervous horse when mounting. Please note he is not ready to take a rider at this time so no under saddle video is available.

I have recently broken my shoulder and will be out of the saddle the remainder of the year so i cannot give this guy the time deserves. He is going to be in the bottom 4 figures and only considered to go to the best home for him. Again this is a professional/experienced rider only; no junior, amateur working with a trainer, or first time restarts will be considered.

If you think you have the experience, time and set up to take on a great project send me a message and I will disclose all quirks!

Located in Columbia station Ohio and bottom 4 figures. $2000
