Ok, thoroughbred mare lovers! I got a call from an old friend of mine who breeds to race. He's someone I bought one of my first OTT horses from a loooong time ago. This filly was also with the trainer I get 95% of my nice horses from, so both are solid connections. While I'm over capacity and have foals due, I brought this girl in to help get her into the right new career. Also, I had a contact looking for a polo prospect, and I was told this filly was all of 15.1hh. Looking at her breeding, I anticipated her being solid and compact. However, seldom do things go as planned. I went to pick "Gigi" up, and knew she would not work out for polo. She's leggy, refined and while not overly tall yet, she had a lot of growing to do. She sticks at 15.2hh at the wither, is about 16hh at the bumm, and strings to 16.1hh+. She's immature in build, but lovely. She's one I would turnout for a few months or even till next Spring, then start her back up. If anyone is interested in her, please feel free to send me a PM

Over the past few years, I've been working on a small program breeding Welsh mares to my privately owned Warmblood stallion. The babies have been amazing. All of them have fantastic brains, great personalities, impressive jumps, and worthy movement.
But, what I've learned through trial and error, is that I need to work with mares that are 12.3hh-13.3hh. It is for this reason that I will be making this sweet mare available. Her name is Inquisitive, and she is 14+hh ( I will re-measure her for an exact height). She is now 12yrs old, and has been super easy to work around, is a great mom, and her babies have been equally as wonderful. I am open to a variety of options including a package with her adorable new filly, and a breedback. I also could breed the mare to an outside stallion, as I have several contracts. Please send a PM if interested in details. I will add a pedigree link of the 2026 filly, once I pick a good name.

The first baby of the year was born April 7th, but I'm just getting around to posting his cute little face. I'm going with the name Rurik (a Norse cheiftan). "Roo" is a Welsh x Warmblood c**t, and will likely mature to a TOTL large. He is available with installments till weaned.

Baby Zeumer checking out a fearless (or oblivious) rabbit. This yearling c**t, while still shedding out, is turning into a beautiful and fantastically talented pony. He is by the Warmblood stallion, Hampton WS, out of my Welsh mare, Brenrey Roxy. To be a TOTL large.

The weather here in New York has been ridiculous. It's Mid-May, and it was 37 degrees the other morning, with hail and storms. Still so much mud, horses holding their fuzzies, and everyone is out of shape. I will be getting presentable photos soon, but I did want to post how much baby Haydn has matured. DOB 6-19-25, so not yet a full year old. This was his first solo turnout away from the others he was weaned with, so he was a bit tense. When he is relaxed, his movement is lovely. Haydn is by the Warmblood stallion, Hampton WS, out of a GRP mare by Bennos Hit. I am starting to think that Haydn will go over pony-size, and be more of a fancy Pocket Rocket. He is available.

Stone Guitar: 9yr old, 16.1hh gelding. Retired sound as a successful Warhorse with earnings of over 130k. His last race was 10-7-25. I rode him several times, then allowed him to unwind for the winter. Being located in NY, we are still coming out of the cold weather, but this guy is ready to get back to work! Stone is sensible but sensitive. He is polite, and well-mannered. He IS a mild cribber. RRP eligible. Best suited for someone who has experience with OTTs, and likes a forward thinking, athletic type. Please send a PM if seriously interested. An appropriate home is a must for this guy, as his previous owner/trainer is so very fond of him.

Edited:
I'd like to try this again. Some people may take offense to this, but it confuses me that when a post says "please PM me for details", they still leave one-line comments that are seldom, if ever, seen. If I get notifications at all, they arrive days late. Please send a message. Located in Oswego, NY (those details and number are on my farm page, as is this horse's album.)
I have a gelding that I am looking for a suitable home for. A lease is available with him able to come back should he not work out. A permanent home is an option, with a small adoption fee and him also coming back should he not be suitable. He is not a re-sale horse, he is not a 3ft horse. He is not a dead-broke beginner horse. He walk, trots and canters quietly but is still green. He is not too forward, and maybe more of a push-ride. Ideally, though, he is better suited as a hack/flat, cross-rail, or trail horse. Please note, I personally don't have trails so I have not trail-ridden him. The potential is there. I am more than happy to discuss. But, about Hutch: Hutch is now 6 years old, and is 16.1hh. No vices, kind, great manners, smart, willing, and uncomplicated. He does make faces from his stall occasionally (food-time). I've had Hutch since Nov of 24', which is when he retired from racing (as sound). The trainer never had an issue with him. He was just slowing down. I rode him several times before wintering him. I then started him back up in the spring (25'). Late summer, I sent him out to a friend to be tried, and while they loved him, there was an x-ray that prevented him from selling. He came back to me, and has continued to bomb around without issue. He's too nice of a guy to have sitting here doing nothing.
