Meet Skittles! She is a 16-year-old sorrel mare standing 13.1 hands with a stocky, solid build. You know those ponies you see in videos where kids are doing the most random things, having a blast without a care in the world? That’s exactly what comes to mind when I think of Skittles.
She’s not fancy broke , she knows the basics and is happy staying there. In the arena she will walk and trot, follows the bit fairly well, but she was never truly taught formal arena work. She has a good little stop, direct reins, will ride in a bit, and also does fine in a hackamore or halter. She will canter out on the trail, but in the arena she prefers a walk/ trot and will happily stay there. At this point, Skittles is what she is — a grab-and-go pony. It may not be pretty, but she has not offered any concerning behavior such as bucking, rearing, or bolting. I’ve personally watched my kids and students do the most random things with Skittles, and it makes me laugh every time. She’s great to lead-line littles and has no desire to go anywhere fast when doing so. She goes out on the trails, isn’t easily bothered or spooky, and can be ponied off a bigger horse as long as the other horse isn’t a bully. She enjoys being bathed and groomed. She can be a little stubborn about picking up her feet, but we continue to work on it. Skittles is a pony she’s not perfect every single time but any stubborn moments have never been nasty. She’s sturdy enough for an adult to ride, and if someone wanted to tune her up and add some extra buttons, the option is there. Skittles is being sold exactly as she is: a great lead-line, play-around, companion pony. She’s an easy keeper and is current on feet, teeth, shots, and deworming.

Reba is a 4-year-old grade sorrel mare standing a little over 14.2 hands with a cute, well-balanced build. She’s already eye-catching, and she’ll mature into the kind of mare that turns heads everywhere she goes. She’s got socks, a touch of roaning through her flanks and face, and a white spot under her jaw that gives her a unique look. Reba was started correctly and is well on her way to becoming a solid all-around type. In the arena she walks, trots, and canters with correct leads. She wants to stay soft and supple, gives to the bit, moves off leg nicely, stops, and backs with ease. She starting to have a clean little turnaround, side-passes, and is starting to ride around one-handed. She’s been a fun mare to have in the barn. Loads easily, stands to be groomed and saddled, bathes, and is good for the farrier. She’s been exposed to cattle and has been out on the trails, typically with another horse. Reba has a great mind, and she’s the type that could go in several different directions. I could even see a handy youth rider finishing her out and using her long term. Reba is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.

La Collotita aka LaLa is a 9-year-old AQHA mare standing 14.2 hands. Her pedigree includes Chicks Beduino, Mr Eye Opener, and First Down Dash. She may be on the smaller side, but she has grit, heart, and a real desire to please. When she is turned out her, her athleticism is amazing. I’ve been working with LaLa for the past few weeks, and she continues to improve every ride. She’s one that slipped through the cracks and simply ended up with people who didn’t match her needs. When I first started her, she was more standoffish — never reactive or unsafe, just seemed lost if that makes sense. She has really started to come around, looks for people and follows you around. In the arena, she is willing and has plenty of try, which is one of my favorite things about her. LaLa walks, trots, canters, is riding around soft , backs up, moving off leg pressure, and flexions. Very enjoyable to rider and work with. I took her back to the basics to begin rebuilding a solid foundation, and every session she shows progress. She is a mare who responds best to a soft but confident rider as she doesn’t do well with forceful handling. While under saddle she has not offered any bad behavior such as bucking, rearing or bolting. She did have a problem with standing still while mounting and instantly wanting to walk off but we have constantly been correcting this and she is extremely better. LaLa stands quietly while tied, bathed , grooming and saddling. Lala will do best with a confident rider that will continue on with her. I firmly believe LaLa has the ability to make someone a very nice horse, and I could see her thriving in the barrel pen as she has the talent and the grit. All the hard work is done and with the right person, she will work hard for you and continue to blossom. LaLa has no vices such as cribbing, weaving, pacing, or biting. She is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.

Gunnasparkthistown is a 2024 double-registered AQHA/APHA c**t by Gunna Stop and out of a Sparkling In Town mare. His pedigree speaks for itself, with proven performance bloodlines on both sides. He is NRHA, NRBC, and NARS nominated, eligible for the Invitational and 100X, and being double registered allows him to be eligible for additional incentive opportunities. Known around the barn as Simba, he’s as eye-catching as they come, with a partial blue eye and a presence that turns heads wherever he goes. Simba has been handled correctly from day one and carries himself with confidence and class. He has a great demeanor — curious, respectful, and willing. He ties, leads, picks up his feet, and is comfortable with the daily activity of a working barn. With his pedigree, looks, and solid start, Simba is an excellent prospect for reining, ranch versatility, or a variety of performance directions.

Fancy Girl is an 18-year-old palomino mare standing 15 hands with a solid build and good bone. You can see her age a bit through her topline, but it doesn’t affect her day to day use, and with correct conditioning she can improve even more. Fancy is ready to step into another family situation and suits true beginners on up. She has no interest in going fast or working hard — her favorite speed is a relaxed walk, and she has one of the best jogs you could ask for. She will canter and knows her leads, but she’s happiest keeping things easy and to be honest it’s more work for her rider than it is her. She’s soft in the bridle, has a decent neck rein, and moves off leg. Fancy absolutely loves being groomed and bathed, and she’s the kind you don’t worry about around little kids. Out on the trails she’s a gem happy to go in the front, middle, or back, and she doesn’t get bothered by what other horses are doing. She’ll also pony another horse, which is great for families with young riders. Fancy has been ridden around neighborhoods and desert terrain, up and down hills, and handles traffic and bikes well. She can be ridden ba****ck, double, or in a saddle, and she’s the same steady horse each time. She’s not mareish, doesn’t start drama, and gets along well with others. She stands quietly to bathe, groom, tack up, and for the farrier. She loads easily and backs out of the trailer. While she’s been a great family horse, she does have past experience with roping and has been hauled, so she’s been exposed to cattle and new environments. She would make a great peewee or lead-line horse for someone just getting started. At this time, Fancy does not require any special shoeing or maintenance. She is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.

A Cashwood Gun is a 6 year old AQHA buckskin gelding standing just shy of 15.1 hands. Not only is this guy flat-out gorgeous, but he rides around exactly how one should. Over the last couple of years, Copper has been used in all aspects of ranch work checking fences, doctoring calves, gathering, and roping. He’s never backed away from a hard day’s work and is as honest as they come. He gets the job done without any fuss. He’s not limited to the ranch life either. In the arena he walk/trot/canters with smooth transitions, picks up both leads easily, stops correctly, is light in the mouth, works off leg, side passes and turns around. I wouldn’t classify him as “quick-footed,” but you rarely have to ask him twice. If you want him to move out, he absolutely can. Copper is the kind of horse you enjoy riding so much that you don’t really want to get off. He does well out on the trails and through neighborhoods. He’ll look at things a bit more in neighborhoods than in open fields but he’s not out there hunting something to spook at—just aware of what’s around him. Great ground manners stands tied, easy to catch, bathes (not his favorite when it comes to his face, but he tolerates it), loads easily, and lunges on a line. He’s not a watchy horse and genuinely enjoys people, he’s just not the overly-affectionate “hug me all day” type. Our 12-year-old daughter has claimed him as her favorite, rides him often, and pampers him even when he gives the “what now?” look. Copper has the ability to go a lot of different directions and be someone’s number one. He’s roped plenty outside, just hasn’t been roped out of the box yet—shouldn’t take long to finish. With his look and handle he’d do well in ranch classes. He could still do trails, barrels, or just about anything you want to point him toward. He’s a nice, well-rounded gelding with real try, and his talent deserves to be used. Copper has been a gem while with us and hasn’t shown us anything concerning. He simply needs a rider who will continue on and appreciate the time that’s been put into him. He is current on feet, teeth, shots, and deworming. He does have a scar on his back that he acquired as a youngster, he does not seem to bother him in any way.

La Collotita aka LaLa is a 9-year-old AQHA mare standing 14.2 hands. She carries respected bloodlines including Chicks Beduino, Mr Eye Opener, and First Down Dash. She may be on the smaller side, but she has grit, heart, and a real desire to please. When she is turned out her, her athleticism is amazing this mare has talent, and it deserves to be developed. I’ve been working with LaLa for the past few weeks, and she continues to improve every ride. She’s one that slipped through the cracks and simply ended up with people who didn’t match her needs. When I first started her, she was more standoffish — never reactive or unsafe, just not the type to walk up for attention. Now she’s learned that affection is a good thing, and she genuinely enjoys it. In the arena, she is willing and has plenty of try, which is one of my favorite things about her. LaLa walks, trots, canters, is riding around softer each day, backs up, moving off leg pressure, and flexions. I took her back to the basics to begin rebuilding a solid foundation, and every session she shows progress. She is a mare who responds best to a soft but confident rider as she doesn’t do well with forceful or rushed handling. There is one area we are actively working through, and we’ll continue addressing it until she’s sold. LaLa stands quietly to groom and tack up, but once bridled she can show some anxious behavior, which continues when mounting. Standing still is hard for her, and once mounted she can feel tight and unsure. Recently, we adjusted her routine where I spend time, getting on and off until we are standing quietly with a relaxed body then go straight to working her. During rides, I get on and off multiple times, and by the end she’s significantly more relaxed with mounting. Never in the middle of riding has she offered any bad behavior. We have a few ideas about why she developed this habit, but can’t say for certain. Because of this, she needs an experienced rider who can continue her program with patience and consistency. I’m happy to discuss everything in detail with anyone truly interested. I firmly believe LaLa has the ability to make someone a very nice horse, and I could see her thriving in the barrel pen as she has the talent and the grit. With the right person, she will work hard for you and continue to blossom.LaLa has no vices such as cribbing, weaving, pacing, or biting. She bathes, ties, loads, and stands for the farrier.

TP Got Juney is a 2024 APHA c**t expected to mature around 14.2–14.3 hands with a stout, straight, well-rounded build. He’s been well handled, naturally easygoing to the point you forget he’s still a baby at times. He picks up all four feet, enjoys being groomed, and has had a couple of baths. He’s good for fly spray, easy to catch, and has been ponied a few times. He’s still learning to step into the trailer with confidence, but he’s not a project — just needs a little direction and he steps right up. Our daughter has spent time desensitizing/ “torturing” him with different things. Current on deworming, shots, and trimming. Photos were taken prior to his most recent trim. He’s a nice c**t with a great start, and he’s ready to grow, finish out, and become someone’s well-rounded partner.

SOLD!
Penny is a 16-year-old grade mare standing 15.3 hands. The first thing that comes to mind about her is that she’s an absolute sweetheart who soaks up any affection you give. For her size, she is very respectful on the ground, easy to catch, and naturally matches the pace of whoever is leading her, whether it’s a small child or an adult. She stands quietly while tied or being tacked up, and she will even ground tie. Penny bathes well, loads easily, and backs out of the trailer without hesitation.
In the arena, Penny has a true one hand neck rein and can be ridden in a halter or about any bit. She has a nice walk and trot, and her long trot is smooth enough to sit even ba****ck. She knows her leads and will canter, though sometimes it takes a little encouragement and you may get a tail swish or two. She’s never been aggressive; she simply prefers the slower gears and would jog all day long if you let her. Out on the trails is where Penny really shines. She walks out level-headed, isn’t on the lookout for things to spook at, and if she does react, it’s very subtle. She’s confident going out alone or with a buddy, and she’ll happily cruise at a slow walk or step out if asked. Traffic, dogs, and bicycles don’t bother her. She goes through water, steps over obstacles, and is sure-footed across various types of terrain.
Penny did have a foal earlier this year, and we’ve been legging her back up while helping her regain the weight and muscle she lost. Her ideal home would be with a person or family wanting a safe, kind, non-competitive horse to enjoy around the arena and out on the trails suitable for any level of rider. She does have an old scar on her lower left hind leg it does not affect her in any way. She has no vices such as cribbing, weaving, or pawing. Penny is current on teeth, vaccinations, and deworming, and is scheduled to have her feet done this week.

Little Silver Rascal is a 2024 bay roan c**t expected to mature around 15 hands with a nice, solid build. He has been an easy going, laid-back guy since the day he was born. Although he didn’t receive much handling until the last couple of months, you would never guess it, he’s calm, willing, and genuinely wants to please. He picks up all four feet, has been trimmed, enjoys being groomed, and has had a couple of baths. He stands for fly spray, is easy to catch and lead, and has been hauled. He still needs a little coaching stepping into the trailer at times, but nothing major. He has also been in an equicizer on very low speeds and, as expected, took it all in stride. Silver gets along well with every horse he’s been turned out with and stalls quietly next to mares. He has straight legs, good bone, and from what we’ve seen, is shaping up to be a nice all-around prospect. His AQHA papers are in hand with a signed transfer ready to go. He is current on trims, vaccinations, and deworming.

Important Information Regarding EHV-1 and Our Facility

First and foremost, our thoughts are with the individuals and horses affected by the recent EHV-1 outbreak. It’s never easy to see the horse community face something like this.

We want to reassure everyone that we have not taken in any new horses in over two weeks, and none of our current horses have traveled out of state in months — many not at all. Although our daughter and I do compete in barrel racing, we have not left our facility just shy of 3 weeks, and we do not plan to travel until this situation has passed or more information becomes available.

At this time, we will not be accepting new horses, but we will continue marketing the horses currently on our property. For any horse purchased, we will provide current health certificate after purchase and prior to the horse leaving, at our expense.

We have always taken biosecurity seriously sanitizing stalls, feed buckets, tack, trailers, and more and we will continue to follow these precautions with even greater diligence during this outbreak.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out: 602-515-1534.
