We rehomed this mare in August 2024, due to her current owners schedule/time restrictions Hootie is looking for a new place to call home. I was happy to help again with this process as Hootie is a sweet mare with a big heart!

Meet Hootie! She is a flashy , 14 year old grade mare standing 15.1 hands. In the arena she has a nice handle, nothing overly fancy. True one hand neck rein, a jog you can sit all day , knows her leads and easy transitions. She is soft in the mouth, flex’s , headsets and easy back. Has been ridden both English and Western as well. Hootie is just a honest mare that wants to please her rider. Doesn’t have to be ridden 7 days a week but does best 3-4 days of being exercised. She doesn’t act ill mannered but will have more pep in her step with more time off. Prior to her current home, she had years of being used for trail riding. Quiet when she goes out alone, through the neighborhoods or out in the open. She’s gone up north to the mountains, camping and taken swimming at the lake. Isn’t phased by traffic, dogs or other commotion. I haven’t even heard her whinny when others scream out to her. If she does happen to spook, it’s very subtle and moves on. Ground manners are like one should be, will lunge on a line, ties quietly, loads, bathes and enjoys being groomed. I believe she is suitable for an intermediate rider but has been ridden by young children with trainers supervision. I think Hootie would really enjoy having a youth rider that would spoil her and do everything with. Currently has been used for some trail riding and also been ridden English quite a bit. If Hootie doesn’t know you well, she does not care for her ears to be messed with, now she is easy to halter, put a fly mask on, cleaning her face. It really only becomes a problem when bridling, she will put her head down, bridle in mouth and you have to have a buckle headstall, no ear pieces. Once she knows and trust you, you can use a normal headstall, I find it easier just to not mess with it. She is current on feet, teeth , shots and dewormer.

Sweet Lil Bruiser is a 13 year old registered AQHA red roan gelding standing 14.2 hands. His papers speak for themselves with Peptoboonsmal, Peppy San Badger, Dual Pep and CD Olena on them. Bruiser is a gentleman, great ground manners, will stand tied for hours, bathes, loads and enjoys being groomed. Handles like one should in the arena as he has the foundation of reining/cutting training. Transitions are smooth and easy going up and down in speed, works off leg, neck reins, pivots, side passes and soft in the bridle. Gentle enough to help teach beginners but will get to work for the more advanced rider for arena work. Bruiser is a rope horse, could be considered a switch ender in the correct hands as he is not a big horse but knows how to rope both ends. Does better on the heeling side. He has had time off from the roping pen recently, not Bruisers fault. We did get current roping videos taken 3/28, by a rider who has never met or rode him before. In the box he stays quiet if his rider is quiet, rider mentioned he could use a very minimal tuning and some scoring if going back into the roping pen. Bruiser is not patterned on barrels or poles, but he easily does them. Could become a youths rodeo horse for multiple events. Not bothered by much and if he is, it’s very subtle. He does well out on the trail alone or with others, however he does walk out. Fine with traffic, dogs and any type of motorized vehicles. Bruiser could go into ranch riding classes with ease but it’s such a good gelding to make someone an all around horse. Been well taken care of and no maintenance has been required at this time. Current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming.

Meet Yoda! He is a 12 year old grade gelding (age verified), we assume he is a Haflinger cross and stands right at 14 hands. The best explanation for Yoda is he truly just goes with the flow. In the arena he is not fancy broke, more direct rein but soft about it. Will move off leg, nice stop, and light in the bit. He has as cute jog, will extend trot and a very comfortable canter. If you want to play around on patterns or set obstacles up, he will gladly do it. Might not be the prettiest but he will try for you! Yoda has seen more outside riding than arena work. He is content either by himself or with others, will walk quietly and keep up in a group if need be. Will cross over water, sure footed in different terrains , vehicle and animal safe. Can throw ropes on or around him, bull whips, been exposed to gun fire and will push cattle around. There isn’t much that bothers this guy and if so, it’s a head tilt and he moves on. I have had some of the truest beginners ride him around, just a good guy. Yoda is on the smaller side but he has good bone with nice feet. He stands quietly while tied, enjoys being groomed, loads easily and picks up all 4 feet. Yoda is current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming. We took these photos about a week ago, he is shedding out nicely now.

Deuce O Harts is a 17 year old registered AQHA mare standing 14.2 hands. Duece is well bred, a granddaughter of Smart Little Lena with other lines such as Doc Quixote and Peppy San Badger on her face papers. Deuce has the softest eyes and a great demeanor. She rides around like one should with the ability to adjust to any level of rider. Walk, trot and canters with smooth transitions going up or down in speed. Works off leg, true one hand neck rein, pivots and side passes. Has a reiner/cutter foundation, easy to get along with but majority of the time is more slow then go. Will get up and work when asked though. Great out on the trails isn’t bothered by much, if she’s by herself she does tend to walk out a bit faster but not bad. Been used in sorting and payday/gymkhanas. Deuce is not finished in barrel or poles but is handy enough to get the job done. Can be used as a lesson horse and would be a great asset to teach children a fancy horse while being quiet. Been well taken care of, doesn’t require any maintenance at this time. Current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming

Hancock Bertie is a 12 year old AQHA registered palomino mare standing just shy of 15 hands. This mare is built, straight conformation and stunning to look at. Very personable, loves attention and having a job of any sorts. We rehomed this mare 6 years ago, the family has ridden her on and off over the last couple years. No fault of her own, time is limited and she’s just been on the back burner. Was never finished in anything particular, just a horse to get on a ride. I just finished a 2 week tune up in the arena and she has been great, her drive and willingness to work is her strongest point. Xantha has a nice handle to her, light and quick to respond. Tad bit more forward moving especially when starting off. Not that she is trying to take off or be naughty, she likes to work. Will neck rein, give to the bit, side passes, flexions. Knows her leads, overall smooth transitions. Currently getting back in shape but is ready for her new adventure. She does well on the trails, by herself or with another horse. Not much will bother her and if it does, it’s very subtle. Does fine with dogs, vehicles, quads and dirtbikes. Xantha has been well taken care of and been honest. I think she would do well in the roping pen, ranch versatility but would honestly turn into a well rounded horse for someone to do a little bit of everything on. Due to her being for forward and responsive, she would not be ideal for a beginner rider. She needs a rider that is light and use to horses, when you ask , you will receive. Xantha is current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming. She will continue to be worked regularly until she finds her new home.

When a client/friend calls to ask if you have any youth barrel horses available, bonus if it’s a big sorrel gelding with a blaze… and you say, I have exactly that! Can’t wait to see Moonshine and his new owner out in the barrel pen!

Dellas Tardy Pl***oy is an 18 year old AQHA gelding standing 15 hands. Pl***oy has been owned by friends of our since he was a c**t. Has seen every aspect of the ranch life and isn’t shy of a days work. Been honest, no matter how much time he’s had off. In the past , friends would even call to use Pl***oy when they needed a solid horse. As time goes on, kids get older we go through life changes and this is the only reason Pl***oy is looking for his new person. He deserves and enjoys having something to do, many years left for him. Pl***oy is simple and very straight to the point, he’s been taken care of but not pampered on. Not watchy or mean, not even sure if he has a mean bone in his body. But if you try give him extra affection he does wonder what you’re doing and will act stand offish. Now for myself, I love to give him hugs and scratches and he deals with it. Walk, trots, canters. Knows his leads, has a nice stop and backs. Pl***oy is not fancy broke, he rides around for most to get along and to the point. He has in the past been ridden with or without a tie down, just depends on what he was doing for that day. When taking Pl***oy out on the trails through the neighborhoods, he isn’t spooky, walks out and will occasionally will winnie if he sees a horse or one talks to him when by himself. May pick up a light jog but easily comes back into a walk. With another horse(s) he goes right along with no hesitations. When Pl***oy has a job or task to be done, such as gathering or roping calves his mind definitely stays focused on the task. Mainly been ridden by men but has been wonderful for me. Pl***oy could easily go back to ranch work but also would be great for trail riding. Would do well with sorting or penning, could even go into the roping pen if someone wanted to teach him the basics of tracking out of the box. Pl***oy has been barefoot majority of his life as he has hard feet. Current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming.

Freckled By A Badger is a 2020 AQHA flashy dun mare standing 14.2 hands. She has such prominent dun markings, with thick mane & tail and chromed. Brazzy was recently just pulled in from pasture and is ready to be started. She hasn’t been messed with a ton but enough to be gentle and extremely smart. Anything I’ve done or asked her to do, she does with ease. Will load in trailers, bathes, stands quietly to be trimmed. I don’t think it will take much to start under saddle. Her brothers have been very easy to start as well. There is no reason she hasn’t been started other than being on the back burner, not her fault. Clean legs, no scars or issues. Nicked her hair off her hip but it’s growing back. Current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming.

For anyone that was interested in Smooch, here is your opportunity at her again. The family that purchased her, had an accident unrelated to the horse a few days after bringing her home. Her owner has a long road of recovery ahead and feels it’s best for Smooch to find a new home.

Keepthosekissescomin is a 7 year old, AQHA bay roan mare standing 15.1 hands and 5 panel clean. This mare is not only stunning but is an absolute joy to be around as there is no stranger in Smooch’s world. Been raised and started correctly from ground manners to riding. Will lunge on a line, stands quietly tied, bathes, grooms and loads. A gem for the horse shoer and picks all four feet up with ease. In the arena she is easy to get along with for just about any level of rider, patient and wants to please her rider. Transitions are flawless with simple voice cues or leg pressure. Will maneuver around with such light body movements, especially if you have little spurs on. Light in the mouth, carriers herself correctly, will flex and side pass as well. Smooch has been introduced to breakaway, not finished but took to it. I believe this mare would be flawless in ranch riding. However, she has the mind and build to make someone an all around horse. When it comes to trails, she is overall quiet but does look around a bit more when she is by herself. If she does spook, it’s very subtle and controllable. I have personally taken her out alone , with another horse and have even had another horse leave us and head in a different direction without her caring. Smooch is an easy keeper and to this point has needed no special care or maintenance. Her owners enjoy everything about her but have decided to head in a different route. Current on feet,teeth, shots and deworming.

I’ve been riding him a few days a week for close to a month now, probably the most arena work he has seen as far as circles and a refresher on the basics. Walk, trots, canters. Knows his leads, has a nice stop and backs. Pl***oy is not fancy broke, he rides around for most to get along and to the point. I have found that in the arena, he does best with a tie down and that’s simply for the balance especially at a canter in smaller circles. Not because he tosses his head or acts ill mannered. He has in the past been ridden with or without one, just depends on what he was doing for that day. When taking Pl***oy out on the trails through the neighborhoods, he isn’t spooky, walks out and will occasionally will winnie if he sees a horse or one talks to him when by himself.

Eye On The Price is a 2019 sorrel gelding standing shy of 16 hands. Patron is a sweet gelding that is looking for someone to take him to the next level. His papers speak for themselves as he has barrel horse written all over them; Mr Jess Perry, First Down Dash, Mr Eye Opener, Special Effort. Patron did have 7 starts off the track, with small earnings. He was purchased a year ago by my clients and unfortunately due to some personal health issues, he was put on the back burner. He had an overall great demeanor and willingness to want to please. When my clients purchased his, he was on track to be started on barrels or even the roping pen. In the arena he rides around nicely and currently being ridden consistently. Walk, trots, canter with nice transitions. He flexs, works off leg and each ride he continues to get better. He has a lot of try and enjoys having a job. Truly ready to go on to the next level and finish him exactly the way you would like. He stands to be saddled, good for the shoer. At new places he will sometimes paw while tied, he is familiar with hobbles and won’t do it with them on. Enjoys being groomed and bathed. No vices such as cribbing, weaving but he does get defensive at feed time and does best being stalled to feed. Patron is not suited to be a beginners horse at this time, he has not offered any bad behavior but for instance if a bird flys out from our tree he may do a baby jump. Nothing more than a typical young horse that just to see more of the world. He is current on feet , shots , teeth and deworming. Does have an old scar on his right pastern.

Beebop is a 3 year old , very flashy palomino gelding currently standing 14.1. He is a cross of German Riding Pony x Quarter Horse. Turned out majority of his life to grow until about 6mths ago. He is ready to be started and become something! Has always been handled so good around people. Will lunge on a line or in a round pen. Beebop has only been cross tied, I have tied him to the rail. He did attempt to set back at first but quickly came back into the pressure. Been bathed and groomed a ton, stands to be trimmed for the farrier. Been hauled a handful of times as well. Very cute mover, great personality and could make someone an all around guy.

Patron did have 7 starts off the track, with small earnings. He was purchased a year ago by my clients and unfortunately due to some personal health issues, he wasn’t ridden for the last year. When he came to us, I was hesitant to even step on him being young and sitting for a year. His overall demeanor and willingness, I saddled him up and he rode off like he didn’t miss a day. When they originally purchased him, they were told he was ready to be started on barrels or even the roping pen. In the arena he rides around nicely, I’ve given him a two week basic tune up. Walk, trots, canter with nice transitions. He flexs, works off leg and each ride he continues to get better. He has a lot of try and enjoys having a job.

Meet Biscuit! He is a grade 13 year old, 14.2 hand flea bitten grey, adorable head with thick bone and good feet. Biscuit is a great horse that has done it all. My clients got him a year ago for their beginner son and he has been absolutely wonderful for them. However, the son wants to step it up and notch. Biscuit is a smart horse and unfortunately has the son’s number, simple if you don’t make him first try, he won’t do it and knows he doesn’t have to go faster. With that being said he has never harmed or acted ill mannered. Biscuit has figured out that when he swishes his tail the son will stop asking. Again, smart horse! Now since being with us I have had different kids that are more aggressive and make him do it first try and he will go on without problems. Biscuit was previously used in the roping pen, unfortunately we do not have video of him on cattle as that wasn’t my clients intended use for him. We have thrown ropes and dragged things behind with zero problems. He is patterned on both barrels and poles , isn’t not a speed demon but does them. Has been ridden over small cross rails/jumps. Their main focus was using him at barrel races, gymkhanas and 4H. In the arena he has a nice handle. Walk, trot, canter, stops and backs. Neck rein, side passes and gives to the bit. Also a great trail horse, really likes being out and about. Either by himself or in a group, extremely sure footer and confident. Doesn’t get bothered easy, stands quietly, bathes, loads and good for the farrier. Biscuit is a great horse, has a lot to offer he just needs a rider that is consistently confident. I truly believe that he will go back to his old ways and will not try anything in the correct home. Current on feet,teeth, shots and deworming

LC Billys Baby Rose is a 13 year old APHA mare standing 15 hands. She is a granddaughter of both Roan Texas and Doc Tari, mainly quarter horse breeding on her papers except the bottom of her dams side. Sissy is about as straight to the point you can get, fun to ride and you can use her for just about anything. Arena work she is soft in the mouth, moves off leg, responsive. Easy transitions, flex’s, neck rein, headsets, side passes, nice stop and back. Sissy had spent many hours gathering cattle, working on the ranch, checking fences and roping calves. Been used for gymkhana/playdays, just grab and go. If Sissy has a lot of time off she will be a little more forward starting off but has never offered to buck, rear or bolt. Lots of trail time in different terrain, in groups or by herself. Does well with traffic or commotion, if something is odd to her the worse she has done is a head tilt and keeps walking. Will carry a flag, walk over and through things. Has been within one family since she was a young, they know the ins and outs to her. They said she’s one for the whole family to enjoy, as they had all ages and levels of riders on her. I would say if a very true beginner is one her, it would be best supervised as she does respond. We’ve had both my kids on her, in the saddle and ba****ck, I’ve had no concerns about their safety. Stands to be saddled , loads right into the trailer, likes her baths and a gem for the farrier. On the marish spectrum I would consider her on the lower end, only pins her ears at others when it’s feed time like majority of horses. Sissy is well rounded mare to have fun on, I think she would be a blast in ranch classes, sorting/penning too. She is current on feet,teeth, shots and deworming. No special shoeing and has had no other maintenance required at this point, easy keeper. Does have a superficial scar on her right knee and her left shoulder , does not bother her.

Hepen Jet Bar is a 2020 AQHA sorrel gelding standing 14 hands. Jet is well mannered, loves attention with a smaller build style. He would be great for a youth or smaller adult wanting to finish him out. Rides around well in the arena with no funny business. I personally have seen him sit for three weeks and ride off like a seasoned horse. Walk, trot, canters and has a nice stop. He follows the bit well, moves off leg and wants to turn around. He really just needs those nice finishing touches added. I will say, Jet is more on the whoa then go side and not a whole lot bothers him! Jet spent some time moving cattle and working a bit on a small ranch. He stands while tied, loads, bathes, gem for farrier and has gotten along with all horses he’s been around. His overall disposition has given me no concerns for our 11 year old daughter to ride around ba****ck and “goof off” on him. He’s been trail rode a decent amount, he may nicker or look around but does well with traffic and riding through the neighborhoods. Jets even more solid when taking him out with a friend. Can throw ropes on or around him, carries a flag, with cross or step over different terrain. Does have a scar on the side of his back right pastern. Current on feet, teeth, shots and deworming.
