Expense/care lease opportunity available at Above the Bar Sport Horses in Franklin, KY. I am willing to get very creative for the right, committed person.

Lilo is a 7 year old, 16h Thoroughbred mare who is desperately wanting a person! She is trainer owned (mine), but currently somewhat on the back burner simply because there are only so many hours in the day. She really wants and needs a job, and more than anything, she needs someone committed to her.

She is smart, sensitive and bold. She will course around 2’6”, has an easy lead change and has the scope for more. She is still green and a bit mentally immature, so she needs a good riding teen or adult who understands green horses and actually enjoys the process. One day may be fantastic and the next may have you wondering if her brain is functioning properly. That said, she is really cool and has a ton of potential just needs consistency that I cannot give her right now.

I would love to find her an onsite care lease here at Above the Bar, but I would also consider an offsite lease to a GOOD, solid program with turnout for a junior or adult rider who needs something to ride under the guidance of a trainer.

If you’re a trainer with a gritty, scrappy kid or adult who lives at the barn, doesn’t have a huge budget or one at all, but needs something to love, ride and show, reach out.

I care much more about finding Lilo the right person than making a conventional lease deal. I do not want to sell her.

Updated Sales list. All located at Above the Bar Sport Horses in Franklin, KY. 615-310-5190

CURRENT LIST:

❤️PARIS | L'ETOILE ❤️
9yr old, 16.2 big bodied Oldenburg mare. Currently showing in the low child/adult hunters and ready to move up. Big, slow, consistent step and gives a great feeling to the jumps. She is a blast to ride, honest, safe and brave with easy lead changes. Ready to step into the 3 foot soon with potential, scope and ability for more. Loves attention and to be fussed over. Easy enough for a kid / adult but quality enough for a pro to be competitive on during the week. Truly one of my favorite horses ever.

💕 LUCY | DIRTY DANCE ME SLOW 💕
9-year-old registered Quarter Horse mare standing 14.3 hands. Sweet, personable, and easy to handle with great ground manners. Going walk, trot, canter, started on small fences, and lead changes. Green with low mileage but brave, willing, and suitable for a capable rider looking for a fun project. Would be a great addition to lesson program / in house lease type after finishing touches. Barefoot, sound, and currently in a full program. Motivated seller seeking a great home. Low fives

✨ MILKSHAKE ✨
The ultimate beefcake 🥩! 2013, 16.3 hand, big-bodied Quarter Horse gelding. The definition of a confidence builder, happily packing everything from the short stirrup through the 2’6” with the same honest, dependable attitude every single ride. More leg than hand, but he will find another gear when you ask. Safe as the day is long. Whether it’s a timid adult getting back in the saddle or a kid moving up off a pony, he doesn’t care who is on his back. His job is getting you around, and he does it exceptionally well. Low/mid fives

💛 FLICKA 💛
7-year-old, 15h pinto mare with three balanced gaits, a lead change, and experience through .85m jumpers in Canada with a kid with much success. Comfortable, versatile, and easy to handle, she would make a great partner for local hunters, jumpers, eventing, or dressage. Sweet, quiet, and drama free, she loves trail rides and adapts well to new places. Low/mid fives.

💓 ROSIE 💓
2011, 15.3 hand Warmblood x mare. Has a great, comfortable canter and could very easily do First Level dressage with some tuning up. Takes leg but isn’t dull. I ride her in a small nub spur and a rubber Nathe bit. Responsive to the aids with a great “whoa.” You can put her together or ride her on a loose rein. Very cute mare that loves attention and is the type that quickly wants to become her humans best friend. Perfect choice for someone looking for a horse they can school dressage one day and trail ride the next, or simply flat around, bee bop over a few crossrails, and just enjoy. Honest, uncomplicated, and happy to have a job without needing to be in a program six days a week. Low fives

All reasonable offers considered for a quick sale before end of month, asking 10k! Super useful type finishing exercise rehab and is now started back over fences. Hunters/eq, little jumpers or would even clean up in dressage.

Client offering this sweet boy at a reduced price for anyone who wants to finish getting him back going back over fences. She has 3 other personal horses and this one was meant to be a lease/sale horse. Her loss is your gain - MUST MOVE!

12yr old, 16.1 appendix gelding. Was jumping around 2’6” with a change before injury with plenty of scope for 3 foot. Solid Flatwork with a soft mouth and three nice gaits. Big stride and a super comfortable canter that you can sit all day. Could easily walk into a first level dressage test. Hunter/eq type that could go play in the jumpers as well. Cute, goofy personality and easy to have in the barn.

Wyatt Tore his Peroneus tertius in September. Has been given plenty of time to heal, proper follow ups from the vet and he is now back in full turnout (and has been for months) and under saddle flatting around 5 days a week, just started jumping and trail riding/hacking out. 100% Sound with no limitations.

Low level dressage horse who is just as happy to flat around like a hunter, bee bop over some crossrails and trail ride.

SWEET DELIGHT - affectionately known as "Tw***ie,". 2009, 13.1 hand medium pony mare who has spent the last several years teaching two sisters the ropes from walk/trot through the short stirrup divisions. Cute as a button with the sweetest personality. She is more "whoa" than "go" and is just as happy packing around a walk/trot rider as she is jumping around the short stirrup ring. Tw***ie has extensive local show experience with a handful of rated shows under her belt. She would be an excellent choice for a rider looking for the perfect first pony to take them from the walk/trot ring into the short stirrup divisions. While she could step into the Children's Pony division, she does not have an automatic lead change that a child can consistently produce. That said, she is exceptionally good at naturally landing on the correct lead the majority of the time.

Her current riders are ready to move up, so Tw***ie is searching for her next little rider to teach and adore. She is incredibly loved, and finding her the right home is our top priority.

Plenty of videos are available upon request. Tw***ie will be with me at WEC Ohio for the week beginning July 27 and will be available for trials there, or she can be tried at home in Franklin, Kentucky.
