"James Brown" JC: Baagy (Tamarkuz X Marju) 2019 aprox.17.0 Thoroughbred Gelding

This is the big, long-legged, naturally gifted, good-natured, rugged athlete that is bred to the 9’s and is willing to take you all the way! Mr. Brown is the type of horse who would happily work with you all day long, but is cool enough to leave sit for days at a time without coming back to all your ridden work undone. Enough cannot be said about this horse - from his lovely, uphill gaits to his sweet, in-your-pocket personality - he will be someone’s horse of a lifetime who wants to be successful just as much as his rider does.

In the ring, he’s all business. He’s the “born on the bit” type, and understands contact with the hand very well. His gaits are lofty, swinging, uphill and fun to ride (his walk is a huge highlight for any dressage rider), he is incredibly proficient at bending, and he is beginning to develop a sense of lateral movement in the shoulders and the haunches. He is started over small fences in the arena and natural elements in the field. He’s very careful, and tends to over-jump. Seriously, this guy is a blast!

Mr. Brown stands very well for the vet and the farrier, leads in and out from the pasture, and ties and cross ties. He is a lovely partner for a hack/trail ride - can be ridden out on the buckle. He’s not looky, and tolerates vehicles very well. He has done very well with mounted opening gates, opening doors, handing objects, etc. In our program, we expose all of our horses to practical, real life scenarios as much as we can.

His pedigree is absolutely jaw dropping. His sire, Tamarkuz, is best known for his 2016 Breeder’s Cup Dirt Mile win and carries all the greats in his pedigree - Storm Cat (our favorite sire), Mr. Prospector, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and Northern Dancer. James’ paternal grandsire, Speightstown, needs no introduction - he has been one of the nation’s leading sires, is known for producing phenomenal sporthorses, and has produced some of the most successful racing offspring of the 2000’s and 2010’s.

James’ routine is very simple - he lives outside (but also stalls extremely well), eats a simple mix of grain 2 times a day, and loves to graze and be with his buddies. He’s low on the totem pole, greets you at the gate, and is easy to halter. He lunges well, is happy to participate in ground pole activities, and is ridden in simple tack.

He has solid feet, cool, tight legs and joints, and clear lungs and eyes. He shows no sign of lameness, inconsistency of gait, or loss of function.

He is being lovingly offered by a small, classical-riding-based program.

Mr. Brown would be suitable for:

Dressage
Eventing
Show Jumping
Fox Hunting
Trail riding

Suitable for AA/JR in a program or PRO looking to produce an athlete.

Teeth: 5/5/26 (unremarkable - tiny chip in front incisor)

“Showdown” JC: Showdown Justice (Harry’s Holiday X Flower Alley) 2020 aprox.16.1 bay Thoroughbred Gelding

LAZY & SWEET - AA & JR FRIENDLY - VERSATILE - HOP ON AND GO - THICK & COMFORTABLE - MANAGEABLE GAITS

Showdown is an instant barn favorite! He greets you at the gate/stall with a sweet expression and big, gentle eyes - ready for any activity you want to do. Want to go trail riding or hack around the farm with your friends? How about throwing him in the trailer for a day off-property camping or fox hunting? A fence, log, rock or anything will do as a mounting block when you get there! He gets along with other horses fabulously, too. Want to hop around a little course and practice your jumping? Showdown is point-and-shoot, and never rushes before or after fences! A little dressage schooling more your speed today? He has very manageable, cute gaits and he loves to practice his “stretchy circles.” Cross country schooling? He looks very cute over natural elements and isn’t a puller! Western more your style? He fits very well into western tack!

This wide, thick guy is disguised as a QH. He has a big, wide head and eyes, a thick neck, a round butt, sturdy legs, a wide ribcage, a wide, comfortable back and solid feet. His topline really has to be seen to be believed, especially for his age. His walk is the type you could ride for miles at a time, his trot is very quaint and ridable, and his canter is rocking and comfortable. Go ahead and put plenty of leg on him! He is comfortable with a lot of leg and hand, and has a well-developed, cheeky sense of humor. He is a great listener, a great kisser, and has a glint of silliness in his eyes. He is wise well beyond his years!

In our program, we absolutely love the Storm Cat line, and this guy is no exception to the great animals produced by this line. With the added benefit of the Mr. Prospector influence, it’s no wonder Showdown is as classy and level-headed as he is. He was a favorite on the track for his good nature.

Showdown is a “lesson pony” type, and would mesh well with any rider looking for a reliable companion for low-level area riding or a fantastic trail partner, or a program looking to add a fresh face to their lineup.

Showdown would be suitable for:

Low-level Hunters

Dressage

Low-level Eventing

Fox Hunting

Trails

General Western

Lesson Program

Showdown’s Essentials:

Feet - barefoot (rec shoes or hoof boots if spending a lot of time on sharp rocks)
Teeth - Fall 2025, on schedule for dentist
Coggins - 4/13/26
Vax - 5-way April 2026
Worming - Ivermectin 4/14/26

Showdown has no signs of “jewelry” in any of his joints, and has recently flexed sound (upper/lower, all 4 limbs) and evaluated as normal for neuro tests. His back palpates clean, he has no heat/swelling in any soft tissue, his eyes are clear, and his mouth has no abnormalities.

“Mystic” JC: Ms Teek (Munnings X Gold Spring)
15.2 2015 TB Mare

Whether you are interested in getting your USDF Bronze, placing in Hunter classes and hacks, exploring lower-level eventing, trail riding/Fox hunting, or a combination of the above - this lady is your mount! She’s even the right size and temperament to be a polo pony!

At 15.2 with lovely, ridable gaits, Mystic is as inviting and fun as it gets. Now having proven herself safe and reliable with multiple AA’s, she will be the horse of a lifetime for a lucky rider.

She has full changes both directions, is jumping courses, hacks out beautifully around the farm, is schooling dressage basics including canter-walk and simple changes. She always respects the bit (great brakes!), she understands the seat, and is eager to please. Bonus: she does not require shoes!

Mystic wants to be loved. She is cuddly, gentle, and will lay down in her stall with you.

She is a proven mama, and features phenomenal bloodlines (her sire, Munnings, carries a current stud fee of 45 THOUSAND - one of the most desirable TB stallions on the scene today). She is of the Storm Cat line, making her another example of the reliably excellent horses of this bloodline. She would be a great addition to a sport-TB, Warmblood, or pony-cross breeding program.

HUNTER/JUMPER, DRESSAGE, EVENTING, POLO

For those looking for the athleticism and versatility of a well-bred TB, in a pocket-sized, ridable body. At just 15.2, “Mystic” gives the fun feeling of a pony-cross, with gaits borrowed from the Welsh Section B’s.

Mystic would be a wonderful mount for a variety of riders. She has a beautiful change both directions, becoming more and more automatic every day. Light in the bridle, has lovely transitions, and is capable of taking a joke.
She is calmly jumping around small courses with ease. She has recently given a lesson to an intermediate adult amateur who has only ridden a handful of times in the last few months.

Every time she is ridden, she is quickly learning how to use her powerful haunches and refining her gaits. This mare is so willing! She never says no, and she always tries to find the right answer. She is willing to jump from any angle, at any gait and any distance. She halts square and uphill. Hacking out is easy. Whoever her person is, they are so very lucky!

We see this lovely lady being successful as a hunter, where her gaits and temperament around a course would be appreciated. She would also be successful as a dressage mount that could take a rider through their USDF Bronze and beyond - with her adjustability, beautiful changes, and short back. We can also see her flying through a CC-course, and being a competitive polo pony.

Mystic is UTD, barefoot, clipped, and has recently flexed sound on all 4 limbs. She is ready to go be your best girl and have fun with you this summer!

“Wild Cherry” JC: Wildcat Princess (Wildcat Red X Bold Truth) 2022 approx.16.2 Thoroughbred Chestnut Mare

If you are looking for a TRUE push-ride, AA-friendly unicorn that is as gorgeous as she is quiet - we have your girl! We might call her “Wild Cherry,” but she is anything but wild - she doesn’t know the meaning of the word “fast”!

“Cherry” is the beautiful red mare every JR/AA, Pro with a leasing/lesson program, and breeder dreams about. She is BROAD - with every part of her conformation oozing “big and flashy” - she is sure to get you noticed everywhere you go. She is extraordinarily easy to handle, with big, soft eyes always looking to you for love and direction. Born with relaxation, rhythm, looseness, and maturity in every step, you would never suspect her age. She’s happy to stand and chat on a loose rein, plod along on the buckle, or show off her comfortable, uphill gaits. Her aura is so wonderful to be with, she is sure to make any bad day instantly better.

Her first rides with us were remarkably unremarkable. Unlike many Thoroughbreds, she just isn’t interested in getting anywhere fast. Go ahead and put as much leg on as you want, she isn’t going to overreact and she’s great at taking a joke. You don’t have to hang on her mouth, just enjoy your ride. Dreaming of dressage or the hunter ring? She has plenty enough air time in her gorgeous trot to put you in the ribbons every time. She also already shows aptitude for very easy natural changes.

“Cherry” has already played lesson pony for a kid, been popped over a handful of small jumps, mastered trot poles, experienced plenty of groundwork, and been started in longlines. She is excellent on the lunge line, but you definitely don’t need to lunge her before you get on! Though we haven’t been able to ride out of the ring because of weather, we have no doubt she will be phenomenal on the trails.

We unfortunately scheduled her shipping during the blizzard of the year, but that didn’t bother her at all. She happily loaded onto our small Euro-trailer in white-out conditions, and munched on hay all the way to the barn - through traffic jams, long hauls through the backroads, and while the snow trucks threw salt against the side of the trailer.

She falls asleep in the cross ties, begs for affection, is clean and tidy in her stall, and generally is a joy to have around. She gives excellent hugs and kisses. She is wonderful with people and other horses, and we have no doubt she would make a phenomenal addition to any sporthorse breeding program looking to influence their foals with well-mannered, sound, AA-friendly, high-quality Thoroughbred blood. Not to mention, her color is absolutely stunning.

Her pedigree is STAR-STUDDED, granddaughter to the revered stallions D’Wildcat and Bold Truth, with Storm Cat and Seattle Slew/Bold Reasoning only a few generations back.
A successful sport career certainly seems to be written in the stars for our sweet girl.

She has excellent, solid feet, cool, tight legs and joints, no abnormalities along the topline, a broad, open chest, clear lungs, clear eyes, and has recently jogged off sound for flexion of upper and lower limbs. She has shown no signs of lameness or loss of function.

Cherry would be suitable for:
-Hunters/Equitation
-Dressage
-Foxhunting/Hunter Pace
-Trail Riding
-Leasing/Lesson Program
-Sporthorse Breeding Program
