Yesterday we said goodbye to Louie in the most perfect way. We found him curled up in the tack room where he had passed away in his sleep. I was shocked to find out that he was only 5.5 years old when I looked at his vet records. I feel like we have had him much longer. I called him my Corgi cat because he was much more like a dog than a cat. He followed me from the house to the barn daily and apparently spent an embarrassing amount of time on my kitchen table and in my bed.

Gemma is a 18yo 15.1hh liver chestnut Morgan mare that rides and drives. Gemma has been a fabulous addition to our lesson program and has been loved by every student whose had the opportunity to ride her. Gemma has been the perfect step up for beginner riders. She has only been a walk/trot horse in our program but has entertained us all by popping over the smallest crossrails for our home shows. She is the same horse on/off property, having been to horse shows and on trail rides. Gemma will lead or follow, does bridges and I'm sure she would cross water. She loads, ties, is perfect for and current with the vet/farrier/dentist. She wears a blanket and lives in a stall or out 24/7 with a group. Gemma is sadly being listed because we want to see her with a job! She will NOT live alone (horses are herd animals, they shouldn't live alone anyway) but would be fine with one other horse on property.

Please contact us if you would like to try her!

Total Bien "Ben" is looking for his new rider. Ben is a 9yo 16.1hh OTTB gelding. He can live in or out 24/7, ties, crossties, loads, is good and utd with vet/farrier/dentist. Ben is currently in four shoes but has been in only front shoes majority of the time. He has had no maintenance but does remain on MSM/hoof support daily. He is an uncomplicated ride that could suit a multitude of riders. He has taught lessons for less advanced students and been a super mount. He has very few "tb quirks".

Ben has unlimited potential. I could see him being a really lovely dressage horse, low level event horse or a low level hunter/jumper. He has schooled up to 2'9" singles and courses around 2'3". He has shown at mini trials, 4H shows, fun shows, schooling hunter jumper shows and even participated in an IEA show. He only has two summers of showing under his belt and he is proving to be a good boy on and off property.
We have countless memories to share with interested parties and his sale is bittersweet. His current rider is moving on and it is time for Ben to move on as well.

Marsalla, also known as Salsa is a 5yr old 13.1hh West Douglas Creek mare. She leads, ties, picks up all four feet, loads on the trailer, is easy to catch (comes when called) and has done in hand obstacles. Marsalla is UTD with the vet and farrier. She could be free to the right home but I will be picky and will be checking references. We purchased her sight unseen as people do with mustangs and she was listed as 14 hands. I am too big for her and my pony rider is too busy. This is a super fancy pony that needs someone to take her places!

I have been slacking on social media!

Winter is on its way whether we are ready or not. The unfinished fall and summer projects will be moved to next year's list. Be on the lookout for details for our Christmas event December 13th.

As I continue to go through my winter blankets I will have more and more to sell.

And lastly today is a great day to stock up on supplements for winter from Farrier's Magic. Anyone who has followed me for a bit knows how much I love the magic mineral and the hoof supplement. So much so that I have 100 pounds of each to get my horses through winter looking and feeling great!

Farrier’s Magic uses High Quality Ingredients for High Quality Products that provide a High Quality of Life for horses.
