JD Tina Dunit is an 18 yearold AQHA mare standing 15 hands and weighing approximately 1,200 pounds. She’s a thick, stout-built mare with good bone and that old school breeding. Tina is one of those good, honest mares who has been well cared for and hasn’t been passed around. She’s spent her life as a family horse, raised a few babies along the way, and has always been consistent, even after extended periods of time off. Recently, Tina has been getting worked more consistently, although I wouldn’t consider her to be in performance shape by any means. She did just do a couple-day guys’ camping trip where she covered over 20 miles through various types of terrain, camped overnight, and handled all the commotion without making a fuss. In the arena, Tina is broke like one should be! She has plenty of buttons, and she’s not one you have to ask multiple times. She has a true one-hand neck rein, moves off leg pressure, sidepasses, pivots, carries a nice headset, counter-arcs, and is soft in the bridle. Tina has carried plenty of beginners over the years, but I do think it’s important that her rider has a light hand and a quiet leg. She’s responsive to her cues, and while she’s certainly not looking to take off with anyone, she will move forward when asked. Most of Tina’s life has been spent sorting cattle and trail riding, with occasional arena work mixed in. And let me tell you, this mare has one of the BEST little jog! You could sit it all day long. I wrote the majority of this ad while riding her ba****ck at a jog. 😆 Her canter is decent, although being a bigger-bodied mare who isn’t currently in top condition, it could use some additional conditioning. Out on the trails, Tina is confident and easy to enjoy. She’s not easily bothered by her surroundings and has a nice, comfortable walk. She’s not going to leave everyone else in the dust, but you’re not going to be struggling to keep up either. She just cruises along and does her job. She can be ridden in a variety of bits, although I personally prefer her in a small ported bit. She also rides ba****ck or double. Tina is patient when mounting. She stands quietly and waits until you’re completely on. Has great ground manners, ties, bathes, loads and stands for the farrier. Tina has an older scar on her right front pastern. It’s been there for quite some time, is simply part of her, and has not caused her any issues. She also recently nicked herself on her right hind leg. It’s superficial, but I always like to be transparent so nobody is surprised when they come out to meet her. Tina currently requires no special maintenance, shoeing, or feed. She’s an easy keeper, ties, bathes, loads, and is overall a very straightforward mare to have around. She’s a nice, solid mare who still has plenty to offer whether you’re wanting a stout trail horse, something to occasionally work cattle on, or simply a well-broke mare to enjoy, Tina is definitely worth considering.

Rooster is a 20 year old gelding standing 14.1 hands and truly one of the sweetest, easiest guys you’ll ever meet. We sold Rooster to one of my students three years ago, and he did exactly the job we hoped he would built her confidence, took care of her, and helped her advance to her next horse. Now it’s Rooster’s turn to do the same for someone else. His owners absolutely love him, and he will always have a home with them. They are requesting first right of refusal and will be very particular about where he goes. The only reason we are looking for another home is because Rooster deserves to still be used, loved, and enjoyed rather than sitting around. Rooster is a true all-around horse with years of experience. He was a barrel and pole horse and won his share of money, buckles, and awards. He knew his job and did it well. The fast, speedy days are behind him now. He is perfectly happy walking, trotting, and cantering but he does NOT want to be pushed for speed anymore and at 20 years old, he’s earned that right! He is not being rehomed as a competitive speed horse, so please don’t ask if he can still be pushed to run, he gets grumpy when being asked for speed and does not want to! If that were the life he wanted, he’d still be doing it with my student. Rooster’s next chapter is about slow, easy, and enjoyable. And honestly, that’s where this guy shines. In the arena, he’s broke like one should be. He walks, trots, and canters, knows his leads, has a comfortable canter, nice stop and back, true one-hand neck rein, moves off leg, and gives to the bit. He’s also a great horse for teaching kids how to post because he’s one you actually need to post on! Rooster LOVES the trails. He’ll ride out alone or with a group, pony another horse, or happily be ponied himself. Traffic, dogs, quads, side-by-sides, dirt bikes, and general commotion don’t seem to bother him. He’ll carry a flag and go over or through just about anything you point him toward. He’s even been swimming, and standing in the water may be one of his favorite activities.
He generally gets along well with everyone and isn’t one looking to cause problems.
Rooster currently requires no special maintenance. When he was competing, he received routine hind-end maintenance more as preventative care. He has the typical age related changes you’d expect from a 20-year-old horse but currently does not require special shoeing, feed, or supplements. He is shod in front and has previously been shod all the way around. One additional disclosure: Rooster does have an occasional dry, hay-type cough that tends to be more noticeable when he’s sitting and not being worked. He has been evaluated by a veterinarian with no current concerns. Living in Arizona with the dry conditions and dust doesn’t help, and he does benefit from soaked pellets and dampened hay. They also own a breathing machine and have used that on occasions as well. Does not need this but they own one, so why not use it.
I personally know 6+ years of this horse’s history. There won’t be much guessing with this guy. Rooster could make an amazing trail partner or be exactly what another kid needs to gain confidence and advance in their riding. He’s already done that job beautifully a handful of times, and we’d love nothing more than to watch him do it again.
His owners will be selective, require first right of refusal, and will personally deliver Rooster to his new home. This isn’t about finding him just a home it’s about finding him the right one, again he will not be sold to a performance type home .Rooster is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.

Snickers is a gorgeous 3 year old mare currently standing 14.2 hands at the withers and 14.3 at the hip. She has the looks, the mind, and just enough sass and grit to make her a whole lot of fun! Unfortunately, Snickers is being offered as grade. We do know how she’s bred, and I’ve personally worked with multiple offspring from her sire. However, papers are not obtainable, or trust me, that would have already been taken care of!

Snickers is truly a well rounded young mare who has been started right and has a whole lot going for her. She’s sweet, willing, and genuinely enjoys having a job. She’s got just enough grit to make things fun without being difficult to get along with. In the arena, Snickers has a wonderful handle for her age. She neck reins, moves off leg pressure, is soft in the bridle, and has a tremendous amount of try. She’s one you don’t have to ask multiple times, you ask and will receive. She’s naturally forward-moving without being pushy. Snickers has been started on barrels and poles, and most recently hauled her to a gymkhana for additional exposure. We even used her for lead line with a little 3-year-old girl! Now, Snickers wasn’t entirely sure why this tiny person was bouncing around above her with two people jogging beside her, but she was willing to try and worked through it. For a mare her age, I think that says a lot about her mindset. She has spent just as much time outside the arena as in the arena. On trails she walks along with a level head and is comfortable riding in the front, middle, or back of the group. There really isn’t much that gets this mare worked up. If something does catch her attention, she’s more curious and willing to figure it out than looking for a reason to leave. Snickers has been around cattle since she was a baby and has experience sorting and working them. I could easily see her continuing down the ranch horse path or becoming a really fun all-around partner. She’s also been ridden English! Is she your typical big-moving English horse? Nope! But she looks pretty darn cute doing it, and once again, she’s shown she’s willing to try something different. She’s been ridden in everything from a halter, side pull to a hackamore or light shank bit. Jump on her ba****ck, in a saddle or even double, she game for it. One of my favorite things about Snickers is how well she handles being hauled and exposed to new places. We recently took her on a three day trip where she experienced new surroundings, overnight highline tying, and horses she’d never met before. She settled in, handled everything well, and was an absolute pleasure to have along. This mare drinks water wherever you take her! Anyone who hauls horses regularly knows how nice that is, she’s a great traveler. Snickers will also pony another horse or happily be ponied herself. On the ground, she bathes, ties, stands for the farrier, loads, and backs out of the trailer. She’s not a finished horse, and she still has plenty to learn, but she’s got a solid foundation, a willing attitude, and the kind of mind that makes things enjoyable!
I personally think a handy youth or confident rider could take this mare a long way. Whether that’s barrels, poles, ranch work, trails, or simply having a really nice all-around horse, she’s got the foundation to build on. Snickers isn’t just another pretty face, she’s an exceptional young mare with a lot to give. She’s current on feet, teeth, shots, and deworming.

Meet Jets Little Ronaway aka Spade is a 9 year old AQHA gelding standing 15.2 hands. His papers call him brown, but when stalled he stays pretty darn black! Spade is a true all-around gelding that just about everyone needs in their barn. He’s sweet, respectful, enjoys attention, and is an absolute pleasure to have around. On the ground, Spade has great manners. He stands quietly tied, loves his baths, loads well, lunges, and is good for the farrier. He’s an easy guy to handle and genuinely enjoys being around people. Under saddle, this guy can do a little bit of everything! Spade rides both Western and English and is broke like one should be. In the arena, he’s smooth, has easy transitions, a true one-hand neck rein, and rides direct rein too. He moves off your leg, is soft in the mouth, and is simply enjoyable to ride. He has previously done cross-country jumping and seems to enjoy it. He sets himself up nicely for a jump and approaches it with confidence. He’s also patterned on barrels and poles, happy to take things slow or stride out when asked. If someone wanted to consistently compete for speed, I would recommend a mild tune-up to get everything sharpened back up, but very mild. Out on the trails, Spade is quiet and easygoing. He’s aware of his surroundings and will look around, but isn’t one to make a big deal out of things. If something really catches his attention, he may raise his head to take a better look. Honestly, that’s about the only thing I can pick apart about him! With his size, that can feel a little intimidating to some riders, but he hasn’t offered anything beyond looking. Spade has also been used to sort cattle, give lessons, and has been willing to try just about anything asked of him. He can be ridden in a variety of bits, ba****ck, or double.

Spade has gone through our normal evaluation process, but we’ve actually put even more time into him than usual. We’ve hauled him to six different arenas, exposed him to different riders and environments, and given him plenty of opportunities to show us who he really is. One of those outings was to an English barn, where a lady who had never met him before hopped on and had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. We also took Spade on a three-day camping and trail riding trip, and he was a trooper! He handled the riding, tied on a highline, got along with the other horses, and ate and drank well throughout the trip. Most recently, our daughter hauled him to a gymkhana. He was well-behaved, had no gate issues, and was perfectly content staying slow and collected when asked. Between the arena work, jumping, barrels, poles, cattle, lessons, trails, camping, and hauling, Spade has shown us just how versatile and willing he really is. He’s the kind you can enjoy doing a variety of things with rather than being limited to one discipline. He’s got a great mind, plenty of experience, and has been an absolute gem to have around.

We’ve genuinely enjoyed Spade, and I believe he’ll be a wonderful addition to someone’s barn. Whether you’re looking for a fun all-around partner, a horse to enjoy on the trails, or one to take in several different directions, he’s definitely worth a look!
Spade is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.

Hi everyone!

I’ve talked with many of you about some of the amazing horses we currently have in and know several of you have been patiently waiting for ads and more information.

The rain put us a little behind, and unfortunately, we’ve also had a family emergency this week that has taken priority. Everything is okay, but we would truly appreciate all the prayers.

We’re hoping to have at least portions of the ads up soon, if not the full ads. We have some really fun horses to share with you and can’t wait to get them posted!

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

PLEASE NOTE: Captain is not located at our facility. Trust me, I’d love to have this guy here because he is an absolute blast, but our facility isn’t adequate for properly showing him to anyone wanting to jump. I know his previous owner as well as the facility where he is currently located and am happy to answer questions and forward contact information to interested parties.Located near Cave Creek & Pinnacle Peak 85050

Meet Captain Crunch! Captain is a 14 year old, 13.2 hand mule who has spent the last two years as part of a smaller lesson program. In their words, “He truly is a special boy!” And after seeing what this guy has done for so many riders, I completely understand why. Captain was recently moved to a much larger lesson facility with significantly more horses and activity. He has been given time to settle, but ultimately everyone involved feels the environment is simply a little too much for him. He has shown more anxiety there than anyone who knows Captain has previously seen. A smaller facility, lesson program, or family environment seems to be where this guy is happiest and what everyone wants for him long term.

Over the years, Captain has taught riders of all ages to trot, canter, and even cross their first jumps. With beginners, this has always been done under trainer supervision and guidance. He has babysat countless riders on a lunge line and seems to know exactly when he needs to slow things down and take care of them. Captain LOVES to jump. Mainly been cross rails, but he has comfortably jumped up to 2’. He’s forgiving, finds distances for his rider, and will take a jump even when his rider doesn’t give him the prettiest approach. He is extremely smooth through all his gaits, has nice transitions, and gives his rider a great balance of forward movement while still having plenty of “whoa.” Captain has also been hauled and shown at different arenas and tends to get plenty of attention wherever he goes. there’s just something pretty darn cute about a mule cruising around with all the horses! His previous barn has nothing but wonderful things to say about him. The only reason he originally left was because his owner was stepping away from the horse business to spend more time raising her family.

Now for the full disclosure, because we want his next person to know exactly who Captain is.

Captain can root and pull on the reins if a rider becomes too heavy-handed. This had improved tremendously with riding him in an O-ring snaffle 3-piece Kimberwick setup.
He also seems to know the second a veterinarian steps onto the property. Routine vaccines and exams are easiest when done in his stall. He isn’t mean—he simply knows what’s coming. Captain has no problem leaving his buddies and will happily go ride on his own. However, if his neighbors are taken away and he is left behind, he may pace in his stall. Nothing extreme, but it is something his next home should know. When being led by younger or inexperienced handlers, Captain can occasionally decide he’d like to go on his own little “adventure.” A chain has been an easy correction, and once he knows it’s there, the behavior generally disappears. For that reason, I would want inexperienced handlers to have knowledgeable supervision.For a full body clip, sedation is needed.

Being built like your typical mule, a crupper works best to prevent everything from sliding forward. Captain has primarily been ridden English but does just fine Western as well. He neck reins nicely at the walk, while at the trot and canter he does best with direct rein cues. Captain has also been trail ridden and isn’t easily bothered outside, although he is most comfortable with a buddy. He enjoys getting out and genuinely likes having something to do. On the ground, he loads himself into the trailer and backs out nicely. He ties normally or in cross ties, picks up all four feet, is good for the farrier, and absolutely LOVES baths, grooming, and attention. He enjoys turnout, especially with a buddy, and has always gotten along well with others. Captain absolutely has the ability to continue in a lesson program and can be ridden by a variety of riders. For beginners, I would recommend trainer supervision so everyone stays consistent and little habits aren’t accidentally created. A confident intermediate rider should be able to enjoy Captain independently. He has always been extremely well cared for, is an easy keeper, and currently requires no special maintenance. Captain is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.
This guy really is special. He has taught a lot of riders, forgiven a lot of learning moments, and brought a lot of smiles along the way. Now the goal is simply to find the environment where Captain can settle back in, be himself, and continue doing what he enjoys.

We have so many clients on here that have reached out for information about our Rottweilers! Here is some information about our upcoming litters.

We are so excited to announce that we are expecting TWO litters! 🐾

Millie & Judge
It’s no lie, this is one of our favorite crosses! We are fortunate enough to own all four grandparents, which is something we have worked incredibly hard to accomplish as breeders. We know these lines inside and out, and we are so excited for this cross again.

Nada & Rambo
This will be their first litter together, and we are just as excited about this cross! We own the parents of Nada. Tilly, her mom is who started our program. We have high hopes for these puppies and can’t wait to see the combination of these two.

With two litters coming close together, we also want to make it clear that the litters will not be raised in the same home. Each litter will receive the same individual attention, hands-on care and socialization that we put into every litter we raise. There will be no cutting corners or limited socialization because we have two litters at once. Each litter will be given the time and attention needed to work through their important developmental milestones and get the best start possible before heading to their new families.

We have put a lot of time, work and thought into both of these crosses, and we cannot wait to welcome these babies!

As always, we are happy to answer any questions!

Cole Charming Rebel is a 13 year old AQHA palomino mare standing 15 hands. Belle has been with the same owner since she was a yearling. She was originally started by a cow horse trainer and then spent most of her life trail riding and being enjoyed. She has never been competed on and overall has had a pretty easy life. Over the last few years, through no fault of her own, Belle spent more time hanging out than being ridden. Most recently, I’ve put a solid 30+ day arena tune-up on her, and honestly, she has been a lot of fun. In my opinion, Belle is that perfect mix of mare grit, willingness, and wanting to please. She thrives when she has something to do, and you can tell she genuinely wants her own person. She will literally follow me around the arena with nothing on her. We’ve spent a lot of time working on body control, rebalancing, and getting her soft and supple again. The knowledge was already there it was really just a matter of bringing everything back together. Belle walks, has a jog you could sit for days, long trots beautifully, and canters. She carries herself nicely, moves off leg and body pressure, and has a great stop. She will neck rein around, although I wouldn’t call her a finished one-finger neck rein type. I also believe she would be stunning under English too! I would not classify Belle as a beginner horse. She will do best with a confident, assertive, yet quiet rider who can appreciate a mare with some feel and personality. She’s the type that I truly believe would walk through fire for her person once that relationship is there. I could also see a handy youth taking Belle a long way. She has the versatility to become a really nice all around horse, and with some additional work, I wouldn’t overlook her for the barrel pen either. She’s built for it, has some grit, and genuinely enjoys having a job.
On the trails, Belle isn’t a spooky type and has more of a walk-out style. Most of her previous trail experience was longer rides out in open country rather than riding through neighborhoods. Even after having an extended period of time off, she never offered to buck or show any nasty behavior. If anything, she was simply a little impatient at first, and that has improved dramatically since going back into consistent work. Belle is an easy keeper and currently requires no special feed or maintenance. She’s barefoot and doing well that way. She ties, bathes, loads easily, and backs out of the trailer. I would genuinely love to see someone enjoy this mare as much as I have and go do something with her. She has a lot to offer and deserves a person who will appreciate the kind of mare she is. Belle is current on shots, deworming, and teeth, and is scheduled to have her feet done next week.

Cute As A Button is a 14-year-old ESEF registered pony standing 13 hands. She is absolutely adorable, has great conformation, and is an absolute sweetheart. Buttons has been an asset to a lesson program for years. This pony LOVES to jump! She is comfortable from cross rails up to 2’6”, although she has primarily been kept around the 2’. She is the ultimate show packer and has introduced countless riders to the walk-trot ring. With more show miles than anyone could count, she has proven to be just as dependable away from home as she is in her own arena. She has also been apart of the IEA program. While primarily being ridden English, Buttons also rides quietly Western without missing a beat.
Not only is she wonderful in the arena, but she’s also an exceptional trail pony. She heads down the trail with a level head, enjoys being out, and isn’t bothered by dogs, traffic, or the commotion that comes with everyday riding. Her ground manners are equally impressive. She’s kind around children, clips, bathes, ties, cross ties, lunges, stands well for the farrier, and practically loads herself into the trailer. She’s been barefoot for years, is an easy keeper, and does not require a special diet. Buttons is an incredible pony, but like many seasoned lesson horses, she benefits from an occasional refresher to keep her sharp. The “worst” you may see is her get a little sticky when asked to move forward. A light reminder with a crop or small bumper spurs is generally all she needs, and even then, it’s uncommon. Buttons has never offered bucking, rearing, or bolting. For riders wanting to jump full courses, she does best with a rider who is assertive to keep her moving forward and maintaining her rhythm. If she feels an unstable rider, she will slow down and take care of them. She has always been exceptionally well cared for. To help keep her feeling her best during heavier workloads typically in the spring and fall her owner gives her Equioxx as needed. She also had her hocks injected for the first time this July as part of routine maintenance. Current hock and stifle X-rays are available from her recent evaluation. Buttons is current on feet, teeth, vaccinations, and deworming.

She is only being rehomed because her current barn is stepping away from the lesson business to focus on raising their own children. Buttons will be an incredible addition to another family or lesson program, and she’s ready to continue doing what she loves. She will be missed and owners would love to stay in contact for updates. Her video is a lot longer than most, but we had hours of footage to sort through because we wanted to show just how special this little pony truly is.
