Grand Heist "Heist" (Grande Sovergin/Cat Thief xx/Coastal xx)
2023 15.3h chestnut Oldenburg gelding

Heist is a lovely young Oldenburg gelding with an excellent temperament, quality movement, and the kind of straightforward personality that makes him a pleasure to have in a program. By Grande Sovereign and out of Thief in Style (Cat Thief), Heist earned a 7.9 at his Oldenburg inspection and has the breeding, athleticism, and natural way of going to make an exciting hunter or eventing prospect.

Currently 15.3h and expected to mature around 16.1h, Heist has a big, naturally balanced stride and is an attractive mover. He has a natural lead change both in the paddock and under saddle, and has shown himself to be brave, friendly, and easygoing. Lightly started under saddle, he is still at the beginning of his education and offers an opportunity for someone to develop a young horse with a good foundation and plenty of potential.

One of Heist’s greatest assets is his temperament and ease in everyday handling. He has been handled by an amateur his entire life and is comfortable with all of the practical details that make a young horse enjoyable to own. He stands quietly for the farrier and vet, clips, bathes, loads, and travels easily, and is happy going out with either mares or geldings. He is up to date on everything and is genuinely uncomplicated in his daily routine. He has the type of sensible, willing personality that makes him easy to work around and a pleasure to bring along.

Heist is suitable for an amateur interested in developing a young horse with the guidance of a professional, or a professional looking for a quality young prospect to produce. With his movement, natural lead change, and easygoing attitude, we think he has a lovely future ahead of him in either the hunter or eventing ring.

For someone looking for a young horse with a good brain, quality movement, and the opportunity to be involved in the early stages of his career, Grande Heist is a very nice prospect. He is being offered for sale as lightly started young stock, with his price expected to increase as his training and experience progress.

Erin and Marsha’s Justified may have some competition for the title of Cross-Country Machine around here. Sale horse Violet Hill WBF (Highland Imperius/Flagmount King/Pari-Ace Dane) is making a very convincing case for cross-country machine in training.

This young mare has taken to cross-country schooling with the sort of enthusiasm that makes you start looking forward to the next outing before you’re even back on the trailer.

She’s still at the beginning of her eventing education, but she’s showing us plenty to like as she learns the ropes. We’re looking forward to seeing how she develops as the questions get bigger and the miles add up.

Violet Hill WBF is available for sale through The Frame. For someone looking forward to bringing a young horse along, she’s a fun one to watch.

Dream On (Westporte/Torrero/Gold Apollo xx) looked pretty spectacular at the MDHT Area II Championships.

Martin said he’d never ride in another pad after switching to the T3 Matrix, and he’s sticking to that promise. When you find something that works, why mess with it?

Dream On is looking for his next rider, and if he's not quite in budget, you can try Martin’s favorite saddle pad for yourself. Shop Toklat Originals and use code MDOUZANT15 for 15% off your purchase.

Sometimes horse shopping feels a little like interviewing candidates for a job. In Allora NBF’s case, she’s the one conducting the interviews.

Her requirements? A rider who appreciates a forward, athletic mare with a clear idea of what she enjoys doing. Allora is happiest in the jumper ring, where she has experience through 1.10m and is ready to get on with her job.

At 17h, this Premium Westfalen mare has plenty of presence, but she’s also refreshingly straightforward about her routine. She can have a couple of days off, come out of her stall, and go straight to work. No elaborate preparations, no lengthy negotiations.

She’s equally happy heading out for a trail ride, but when it comes to her next career move, Allora would prefer someone who shares her enthusiasm for the jumper ring.

Think you might meet her requirements? Allora is available through The Frame.

Four participants. A week at The Frame. And young horses at different stages of their education.

One of the most important parts of Backing Horses With The Frame is keeping the group small. With a maximum of four participants, there’s room to ask questions, discuss what you’re seeing, and get hands-on experience rather than watching everything from the sidelines.

Each morning begins with lecture and discussion, followed by practical work with the horses. Over the week, participants explore the 10 steps of dix étapes vers la vie, the French progressive system that guides our approach to starting young sport horses.

The goal is to leave with a clearer understanding of the process and a system you can apply in your own program.

This is designed for professionals, trainers, breeders, and working students who want to deepen their understanding of young horse development.

How do you take a racehorse and start developing him into a sport horse?

In Queso’s case, it’s been a combination of time, turnout, patient work under saddle, and a thoughtful approach to his development.

Since arriving at The Frame from Finger Lakes, Claire’s horse has been given time to settle in and learn a different routine. His education has progressed from those early days to introducing jumps on the line and in-hand, and now beginning to understand contact under saddle.

We also feed Nutrena Feed throughout the program, from our young stock to our performance horses. Nutrition is one part of looking after the whole horse, alongside the turnout, management, and training that help each individual develop.
