🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM SMOKEY VALLEY🚨

🚫OUR DECEMBER 6TH CLINIC AT P&M ARENA IN MESA ARIZONA CANCELED!

With a heavy heart, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Smokey Valley Performance Trail Horse Clinic in Mesa Arizona that was scheduled for December 6th

The recent outbreak of EHV-1 (Equine Herpesvirus-1) in our region is deeply concerning to us. The health and safety of every horse and the Arizona equine community will always come first. After careful consideration we feel the most responsible choice is to do our part in limiting unnecessary travel and large gatherings of horses at this time.

We know many of you were looking forward to this clinic as much as we were, and we truly share your disappointment. Please know this decision was not made lightly.

Looking ahead, We are still fully planning to hold our next Mesa Arizona clinic on February 21st at the same location ( P&M ARENA ). With the outbreak expected to be well under control by then, we are moving forward with confidence and excitement. Please go ahead and mark your calendars or text Dr. Bob Coleman at (859)559-3188 for more information on this clinic! We can’t wait to see you in February!

🐴 For those who were planning to come see the five special horses we brought with us and you can’t wait until February, WE ARE STILL HERE in the Mesa area until March and would be happy to arrange private, individual showings by appointment only. All of our horses are healthy and we are following all necessary protocols until this virus resides.

🐴 If you’d like to meet any of our 5 Smokey Valley Horses in the video attached to this announcement, please reach out directly and we’ll work with your schedule!

☎️ Contact Dr. Bob Coleman directly for all scheduling and for more information on our Smokey Valley Horses at (859)559-3188 you can text or call anytime! We look forward to meeting you!

🙏🏼 We’re praying for a swift end to this outbreak and for the full recovery of every affected horse and barn. Thank you for your understanding, your support of responsible horsemanship means the world to us!

Wishing everyone and their horses safety and health!

Arizona, we’ll see you in February at our next clinic or sooner by a private showing!

🌵 ATTENTION ARIZONA TRAIL RIDERS 🌵

🐴 Five absolutely stunning Smokey Valley Performance Trail Horses are ready for trial and purchase! These are the real deal, smooth as silk, sure-footed, bombproof minds, and built to eat up the toughest Arizona trails all day long.
Meet the crew:

✨ Fool’s Gold –3 yo silver dapple mare at 15hh
This filly is pure eye candy and brains in one package. Classic Smokey Valley silver dapple. She’s by our top breeding stallion, so the genetics are as good as it gets. Fool’s Gold has that bold, inquisitive personality. Started in our natural horsemanship program she has miles and miles of Kentucky trails and soon to be Arizona trails this year. She’s naturally gaited (smooth 4-beat) and is traffic safe already at three. She’s a perfect prospect for the serious trail rider who wants something flashy enough to turn heads but quiet enough to trust and bold enough to take you places most trail horses can’t.

✨ R U 4 Real – 3 yo gelding at 14.2hh, a deep liver chestnut with a metallic glow in the sun. This guy literally looks like polished Arizona copper when he’s clean. With a short back and perfect headset where he wears the bridle straight up and down, he is built exactly how we love them “R U 4 Real” is the horse people ride one time and immediately start figuring out how to take home. He has the ideal over-stride that creates a smooth ride you can sit all day. Stands tied patiently and practically loads himself onto a trailer. He is a rare find and we can’t wait for the lucky rider who can get their hands on him first!

✨ Crystal – 4 yo maximum sabino mare at 14.3hh. If you’ve ever wanted a horse that looks like it stepped out of a storybook, this is her. A stunning flashy mare with a mane down to her knees! Big soft eyes, pretty head, and a neck that arches like a real show horse. Crystal is the ultimate “chrome package” of Smokey Valley. She’s thick made with a round hip and plenty of bone, she carries most size riders due to her stocky and strong build. She Rides like a dream forward but not hot, light in the bridle, natural head shake in her slower gait. She has that in your pocket personality, follows you around the pasture, loves attention, will stand for hours to be groomed. She’s been trail ridden all over Kentucky, ponied other horses, traffic safe, and crosses water and bridges like she was born doing it all while being athletic enough for a competitive trail rider!

✨ Jezabella – a 5 yo dapple gray 15.3hh mare who is pure class. Jezabella has the perfect shoulder, gorgeous neck, and the floating movement people stop to watch. She’s the queen bee of the group, quiet, dignified, but with a motor when you ask. Her gait is exactly what we strive for at Smokey Valley Farms, and she’ll drop down low with a nice head shake and rack on as well depending on what you want. She has hundreds of trail miles all over Kentucky and Arizona under her belt. She’s consistent and a reliable mount that you can enjoy for hours on trail that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. Not only is she a proven athlete on the most rigorous trails, she is a knock out in the local weekend shows. Jezabella has rarely left a show without a blue ribbon attached to her bridle. Zero buck, rear, or bolt, ever. Stands like a statue for mounting, ferrier, clipping. If you want that elegant gray mare that makes everyone else jealous on the next trail ride, this is her!

✨ Sundancer – a 5 yo 15.2hh Sabino gelding with a long striking white mane. He is Mr. Hollywood and anywhere he travels people want to know more about him. Sundancer is the seasoned veteran of the bunch at 5 years old He has been all over the country including Kentucky, Georgia, Michigan, Montana and Arizona. He’s traffic safe and is no stranger to all the obstacles avid trail riders face. If you’re looking for the been there done that trail horse that still has decades left in him, Sundancer is the one!

Another one of Austin's great attributes is her natural 4-beat gait with a significant stride, what Smokey Valley Horses are renowned for.
