Look at this poor wild two year-old Arabian. First day that he actually packs a person around somewhere and I expect him to take me all the way back to put him away. Of course, I own horses so I don’t have to walk. I don’t pull him out for months and then I expect him to carry me so I can go put him back in 😂😂😂 the struggle is real 🤪🤪🤪 **insert sarcasm here**

Dani
2019 Azteca mare
15.2hh
Sooty Buckskin
Check out this fancy mare! If you are looking for a great size, confident demeanor, and expressive movement, check out Dani! She has a lot of ground work under her belt, haul out time and exposure to stimuli. She has been brought along thoughtfully and slowly.
Dani has been at the Stone House ranch since mid August and is working on formal arena work, responsiveness to the aids, and working over her back with balance. She has a smooth trot and uphill canter with great hock action. Dani loves learning new things and working. She has had a good amount of under saddle time and work in training/lesson settings and is very comfortable as a riding horse. Since most of her focus was on basic skills and trail riding/horsemanship, she would be considered green to formal arena work. Dani has an ambitious appetite for learning and is really embracing the new skills she is learning.
For those looking for a horse of a lifetime, she really has what it takes. She is developing a forward, swinging walk, a smooth adjustable trot, and she LOVES to canter! She embodies the qualities of why people love these Iberian types, crossed with the grounded personality of the Quarter Horse. Dani is very comfortable with obstacle work, including teeter bridges and canvas mattresses and is not spooky and enjoys the stimulation. An added bonus is her kind, sweet nature and desire for human attention.
Dani was originally being programed to be a ladies trail horse, however, Dani is seeking more of a challenge than just cruising in open spaces. She would be a great option as a bold working equitation or dressage horse. She doesn't mind riding in the outdoors, but would like her main dish to be maneuvers and athletic endeavors with trail as a side dish.
Dani has been owned by her current owner since 2021 and has been well loved and cared for. If you are looking for a head turner to get you noticed, she is a really great option. Not hormonal, good in a stall, happy in the pasture, current on vet care, very sound, barefoot, clean legged and with a known solid history, not a horse that's been passed around. Her friendly nature and willingness to please on the ground and under saddle will be sure to make you fall in love.

KA Kacii Spots
2022 Half Arabian gelding
Leroy x KA Miisheyna by Kaliisto
14.3hh gelding, medium build
"Lefty" is wrapping up a 90 day training period with 30 of that being under saddle. He's a prime option as an endurance prospect and is looking for a capable rider to continue bringing him along. He's been brought along slowly and thoughtfully with lots of sacking out, working over obstacles in hand, and ground driving. Most of his under saddle work has been at a walk for a solid, grounded base and balance. We have also done some trot work.
Lefty is looking for a confident individual that is experienced with young horses to keep him on the right track. He shows no naughty behavior under saddle and has been very good for mounting, circling, changing directions and working on various lengths of rein. He is an active mover and needs someone with a grounded seat so he can continue developing a slower more lengthened step as opposed to a quick step.
He's lived in a stall and pasture. Hauled in the trailer, tied on the patience tree, has been working on standing tied, but did pull back when he first came into the program, so may still need a little work. Enjoys baths, fly spray and grooming. Very sound, clean legs, barefoot.
He will be available for a limited time and then will be schedule to go home. Motivated to find him a great match.
Mid four figures.

Lil More Conclusive x CP Shez Got Tha Looks
2021 APHA Gelding
15hh, medium build
If you want to stand out in the crowd, here's a head turner! Augustus ("Gus") is a drop dead gorgeous, true black and white APHA gelding. He's got to tie for tiny, adorable ears, a gorgeous face, color, long hair, and a lovely profile. He's a kick ride, rail type personality. Due to no fault of his own, he's been on the back burner and by show standards may be considered "behind" on his training. He's been ridden off and on for approximately the past year, but hasn't had consistent schooling. For that reason, he would be best paired with an experienced hand to continue his education.
Augustus is a smooth mover under saddle and has been w/t/c in the round pen. He needs a little more work with steering to complete all three gaits gracefully in the arena. He has had lots of ground work, ground driving, sacking out and obstacles in hand as well.
Gus currently lives in the barn with regular turn out (weather allowing) and gets along with his neighbors. He has no vices. He is currently half shod. He is used to being tied up, bathed, sprayed and handled. He's had limited trailer experience, but did fine when he was hauled.
Gus is looking for a partner that has the skill and understanding to bring along a fancy young prospect. He is a simple minded fellow that picks things up at his own pace and wants someone that can offer him engaging conversation so that he knows why being a ridden horse is fun! If you might be that person, shoot me a message and let's talk further!

Closing out a great ride season on Far Field Serena for the Red Rock Rumble 50 🐎 perfect weather and a great trail. Goals accomplished this year have been unfurling this fancy grey and I’m happy to report we spent most of our trek on a draped rein and finished with a 48/48 CRI. And if you see this (my tagging thing isn’t working), thank you Alex for letting me be your couch potato 💕😝 adventures are best spent shared!
