🌧️🐴 FRIDAY PONY CLUB UPDATE! 🐴🌧️

Unfortunately, all this rain has gotten the grounds pretty muddy, so we’re going to have to cancel our first Friday Pony Club session today!

As much as we’d love to kick things off, we want everyone (two-legged and four-legged) to stay safe!

We’ll plan to kick things off next Friday, November 6th! 🤠

Thank y’all for understanding! We can’t wait to get these kiddos in the saddle! 🫶🏼

BANJO 🤠
4,500 | 6 Year Old Bay 11 hand Roan Pony Gelding

Ever wanted a big, handy Hancock ranch gelding but somebody accidentally hit the shrink button? Well, meet Banjo. 🤣

This little sucker is HANDYYYY. And I mean genuinely handy.

Go rope something. Go ranch. Run some barrels. Check fences. Hit the trails. This pony has a motor, a job to do, and absolutely no problem putting in a full day’s work. Point him somewhere and he’s going!

Banjo rides like a big ranch gelding stuffed into a pony-sized package. He’ll one-hand around, drag his butt in the dirt, and work just about any gate you can ride him up to. He’s got a handle that a whole lot of big horses wish they had.

Now, before everybody starts messaging me about their three-year-old needing a pony… NO. 🤣

Banjo is NOT a first-time pony.

He WILL dial back for smaller riders in a controlled environment, but this is a STEP-UP pony for a handy little cowboy or cowgirl who can actually ride.

I’m talking about the kid who is tired of getting left behind on their little pokey pony. The kid who wants to keep up with Mom and Dad, go do some real cowboy stuff, and have a pony that can actually get a job done.

Now let’s discuss his personality. 🤣

Banjo is RANCHY. He’s got that old-school ranch gelding attitude, and sometimes he needs a minute to remember we’re all supposed to be civilized members of society.

He’s not an outlaw. He’s not a bronc. He’s not out looking for a fight. But he’s also not a stuffed animal you can drag around the yard and expect to tolerate every bit of nonsense.

He knows his manners, stands for the things he’s supposed to stand for, and handles his business. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes with a little discussion first. 🤣

I’ll tell you right now, the best place to enjoy this pony is ON HIM.

Under saddle, he’s got a job, knows what he’s doing, and is an absolute blast for somebody who appreciates a handy horse.

I’m going to continue putting time into him, and his price reflects where he’s at today.

4,500.

If you’re looking for a babysitter, keep scrolling.

If you’ve got a handy little cowboy or cowgirl who needs a REAL pony to go make some memories and get some work done, Banjo might just be your guy. Come try him.

💛 SIMON 💛

15 years old | 15.1 hands | Palomino Gelding

Big, pretty, gentle and useful. Simon is the kind everybody wants standing in their pasture.

Simon is a kind gelding with an honest, easygoing demeanor. He can be a little snorty about things, and I want to be very clear about what I mean by that because there is a BIG difference between snorty and reactive.

Simon might blow at something, look at it, and then go right on about his day. He isn’t looking for an excuse to come apart. He’s not a bronc, he doesn’t run away and he isn’t trying to get anybody in trouble.

He’s just a big, handy gelding that rides like one.

Simon has carried little riders and novice riders and has been good to them. That being said, I would not call him a complete beginner horse outside of a controlled environment. He’s 15.1 hands, has some size to him, and is best appreciated by somebody who knows how to ride a horse.

Previously used as a feedlot gelding, Simon knows what a day’s work looks like.

Point him somewhere and GO.

He takes the trails like a champ, travels with his head low and has a slow, comfortable demeanor. He’ll go where he’s pointed without needing everything micromanaged.

He doesn’t have some fancy show-horse handle, and I’m not going to advertise him like he does. If you know how to ride one, though, there’s plenty of horse here to appreciate.

Simon would make one COOL weekend cowboy horse.

Throw your saddle on him, go check fences, gather something, mosey down the trail, ride around the pasture and enjoy having a big golden gelding underneath you.

Or make him your everyday trail mount and put some miles behind you.

He’s big.
He’s pretty.
He’s gentle.
He’s useful.
And he’s the kind of gelding people are constantly asking me to find.

Simon isn’t being advertised as something he isn’t. He’s simply a good, honest gelding with plenty of life left and a whole lot to offer the right rider. 💛

PPEs welcome at buyer’s expense.

Come ride Simon and decide for yourself. He’s one that makes a whole lot more sense from the saddle than he ever will written in an ad. In

🔥 FLINT | 4-Year-Old Gelding | 14.2 Hands 🔥

💰 6,500
📍 Alvord, Texas

Flint is a 4-year-old gelding with an exceptional mind, a quiet disposition, and all the potential in the world!

He’s confident, uncomplicated, and point-and-go outside. He knows all his basics and is just incredibly easy to get along with. He’s curious about everything, genuinely enjoys people, and has all the manners and respect you could ask for.

Flint is athletic enough to go have a job but laid-back enough that you don’t have to make riding him a job yourself!

One of my favorite things about this gelding is his consistency. He can sit for days or weeks, and you can pull him right back out and have the same quiet, willing horse you put away. He’s never offered to hump his back or given me a reason to question him.

I think Flint would make a phenomenal heel horse prospect, but I certainly wouldn’t limit him to the roping pen! He’s got the mind, athleticism, and disposition to go in just about any direction. With continued experience, I could easily see him becoming a wonderful all-around family gelding.

He’s not a finished horse, but he’s the kind of young horse that makes the finishing process enjoyable.

Good-minded young horses with this kind of natural quietness are worth their weight in gold. 🫶🏼

Any interest in a registered mare and foal pair? 👀

Baby is super friendly, curious, and has already been started on halter breaking!

Mama isn’t particularly halter broke, but she’s not wild either. Just needs someone willing to put a little time into her.

Would love to see these two find a good home together! 🐴

🤎 BLONDIE | 20 YEARS | 14.2 HANDS | 6,500 🤎

Some horses are worth their weight in gold, and Blondie is one of them.

If you’ve been looking for that tried-and-true, been-there-done-that, FAMILY SAFE kind of horse, here she is!

Blondie has 20 years of experience, 20 years of patience, and absolutely nothing left to prove.

This mare is the SAME horse every time you pull her out of the pasture. She’s easy to catch, easy to handle, easy to ride, and just plain EASY to have around.

She’s the kind you can turn the kids loose on while you go get something else done. She’s forgiving, patient, and knows how to take care of her people. Whether you’ve got a little one just learning or a whole family looking for something dependable, Blondie is the kind of horse everyone can enjoy.

Blondie is just a good, solid old mare who’s been used and knows what a day’s work looks like.

She’s been heeled off of, and you can rope outside on her! She tracks cattle beautifully and rates really well, which is a HUGE bonus for a little cowboy or cowgirl just getting started.

They can focus on their rope, their swing, and learning what they’re doing instead of having to sit up there and ride every single stride. Blondie knows her job well enough to help them learn theirs.

She’s not going to make things harder than they need to be. She’ll stand there all day while you swing ropes, figure things out, and build confidence.

Just a good, honest mare with 20 years of patience.

Outside the arena? She’s just as good!

Blondie trail rides the absolute BEST. Take her down the trails, putter around the pasture, check things around the place, or let the kids spend the afternoon loving on her.

She’s just EASY.
And I cannot emphasize that enough.

Blondie does have some arthritis in her knees, with X-rays on file. Her teeth are up to date as well!

We keep her front feet shod with wedges, and she stays sound for everyday riding. If you’re wanting to take her back to the heel pen at a competitive level, she’ll need hock injections.

Otherwise, she’s a pretty simple mare to keep around! Just have a little compassion for an older horse who’s spent her whole life earning her keep and deserves to stay comfortable. 🤎

Now, here’s what I really want people to understand about this mare.

You’re not just buying another horse.

You’re getting peace of mind.

You’re getting a mare that can teach your kids, build their confidence, and give your whole family memories they’ll carry forever.

You’re getting the kind of horse you can trust to be the same on Monday as she was on Friday. The kind that doesn’t need to be ridden down before the kids climb on. The kind that makes you wish you had five more just like her.

And those horses? They’re getting harder and harder to find.

Blondie may be 20 years old, but she’s got something a whole lot of younger horses don’t.

A lifetime of experience, a whole lot of patience, and the kind of honesty you simply cannot train into one.

Good, honest, safe horses are worth their weight in gold. And it’s just a bonus that Blondie happens to be the color of it, too! ✨🤎
