2005 black bay gelding

2012-01-16T10:00:00.000-06:00

14.1hh, no papers, 7 y/o grade gelding. He is quiet broke, great brakes, good walk, trot, trail mentality. Lots of stamina to ride all day but not a hot head. Canter is easy enough, takes a little support to stay in it, but very willing and compliant; sets his head nicely and moves in frame. He's a good size & build to be a gaming horse, or possibly hunter prospect. He has tons of trail miles and some playing with cows. Sweet natured, easy going boy!

If you want an easy walk-trot horse, he can do that all day long as he sits with no questions asked. He has a tendency to kick out (not buck, not even enough movement to toss your hind end off the saddle - it is shown in the video @ 2:49) when first asked to canter when he's been "sitting" for a bit. This would make him unsuitable for the unconfident rider who wants to canter. He has packed a young (confident, though inexperienced) rider in the round pen at all three gaits; she pushed him through the cowkick and moved on. If he's ridden consistently, or if cantering is not of interest, this is a non-issue.

Stands quietly, loads nicely, ties, tacks up easily, solid bare feet, and easy keeper; gets along well in the herd and doesn't push anyone around. Current as of 1/2012 on vetting/coggins.

2009 grulla filly

2012-01-16T09:48:00.002-06:00

Summer color

Winter woolies!

This is a 13.1hh grulla roan filly. Quiet, willing, been saddled and had kids ponied and lunged on her. Sire: Saltys Joe Hancock, Dam: Poco Lexi Leo. So gorgeous in summer; also photos showing her December 2011 winter woolies, and video lungeing! We luff her! Stabled at Metzger Arena, Westover, AL.

She can be sold with a registration guarantee (meaning buyer pays all up front and I continue my dialogue with the breeder and AQHA; buyer gets papers when they come in) or as grade (buyer can register at their own choosing; note that after 4 years of age this becomes quite cost-prohibitive). Here is what's involved, in the interest of being transparent: After calling AQHA, it will cost $475 for all: $300 reg fee, $50/DNA each parent, $30 late stallion filing fee, $25/report, $5/mare, $15/transfer. The breeder is helping get this done; I don't know why it wasn't done beforehand, but it's being worked on now.

2011-12-15T09:22:00.001-06:00

Per the owner:
Brandy is a nice, registered QH mare. Easy keeper, great health, good personality but does tend to be a little strong willed so I would not say she would make a good horse for a beginner. Does not buck or kick you just have to be a little tougher than she is. To my knowledge she has never been bred but should produce an awesome baby if you wanted to breed her. She has a pasture mate that is also a Reg. QH mare TJS Passion. Their previous owner passed away and I am trying to find them a good home. There is nothing wrong with the horses and I do not want them to go to slaughter so new owner will be asked to sign adoption agreement and I will have the right to come visit. Thanks for reading.

Freeze Branding

2011-12-12T10:19:00.001-06:00

Freeze branding is now available at Blue Star Equine! $35/brand flat rate per animal.

Ask about rescue fundraisers, availability for Trade Days, Wagon Trains, and more!

Before you brand:

Branding Site Selection: Before branding, care should be taken in selection of the site to be branded. Each state or county may have it's own regulations regarding the placement of the brand on the animal. Be sure to check with your county clerk, county extension agent or state brand inspection agency about branding and brand ownership regulations.

Ideas on creating a brand: http://www.cowboyshowcase.com/brands.htm

Create your brand concept, then register it with your state of residence...

ALABAMA ( http://agi.alabama.gov/stock_brand_forms)

FLORIDA

GEORGIA

Other states listed here

Please be able to verify proof of ownership of the horse and registration of the brand at your appointment! I will document the site, the horse, owner information, and the brand itself via sketches and photographs for your and my records.

Custom order your brand (not necessary, but a good idea if you have a multi-symbol or non-standard family/ranch logo you'd like to use year after year) / email me a copy of the desired brand to be made from standard symbols, letters, numbers, etc

Read more about our brands (and also to custom order a freeze brand): http://www.lhbrandingirons.com/branders/freeze.asp

The procedure itself:

The irons will be chilled in liquid nitrogen such that enough coolant will adequately cover the heads of the irons by 1". The surface of the coolant will appear to boil when the irons are introduced into the coolant; the irons will be cold and ready when the boiling subsides. Restrain the animal with your desired method, squeeze chute or calf table for cattle and twitch or stock for horses, making sure the site to be branded is accessible. If the animal needs to be sedated consult your veterinarian.

Clean the brand site of foreign material, and clip the brand site using a #40 clipper blade as square as possible, to aid in square placement of the brand. The area is then patted dry with a clean towel to remove any remaining debris, rain, water, etc. Squirt room temperature alcohol over the brand site thoroughly covering the entire shaved area. This removes some skin oils and helps transfer cold from the iron head to the skin.

Immediately after the alcohol soak, quickly remove the appropriate iron from the container, align it properly and firmly press the iron squarely on the brand site. As the iron is pressed to the skin the stopwatch should be started. Hold the iron firmly applying 35 to 45 pounds of steady pressure, with a slight rocking motion. When the appropriate time has elapsed on the stopwatch, (8-12 seconds for horses) the iron should be immediately removed from contact with the skin.

The brand will go through several transformations before the final, white brand is evident (at 3 months post branding). The following is the average time frame to expect:

15 Seconds: Indented pattern show

5 to 10 Minutes: Swelled pattern show

5 Days: Swelled pattern disappears

1 Month: Top layer of skin sheds

2 Months: White hair starts growing

3 Months: White hair growth complete

Chloe is 14H, chestnut/sorrel with a blaze face. A people horse all the way around, would be ideal as a trail horse for the grandkids, lesson, or therapy horse; has been started over crosspoles so maybe even a hunter/hack pony! She is a no-brainer to catch - comes when called, and usually before then. Broke to ride and has kids on her regularly. Rare personality and great in the "herd". Very honest, kind, giving horse. Leads, loads, ties; easily kept on pasture.

Per the owner:

Jack has a left rear suspensory tear injury that occurred 2 years ago; we did an MRI and shock waves therapy to try to heal him but he was only able to come back for a year of show season. He is now lame for ever but leaves a happy normal life. Out 24/7, comes in to eat twice a day, he only stays in when the weather is bad such as rain, thunderstorms, frigid temperature and of course he is blanketed in the winter. No special care, that is how I care for my horses. No special needs, no vet instructions. He's only 12 and very healthy. He just can't be ridden. He has great manners and is very easy, in the pasture he is always at the bottom. Want to find a good home for him, he would make a great companion.

2000 gray Missouri Foxtrotter gelding

2011-11-25T01:19:00.001-06:00

Per the owner:

Deacon is 15 hands (maybe more but I am a poor guesser), grey, and absolutely lovely. He has no known vices and I have placed children on him to lead around. I am an intermediate level rider (and over 50) and had no problems with him. My beginner husband rode him and only had issues when the husband wasn't paying attention - ie: talking on cell phone. The horse can be a big baby and is very affectionate. He loads well in a stock tailer but detests my 2-horse bumper hitch -suspect he feels that he will not fit. He is a big-feeling, compact, but large horse.

Why am I seeking a new home for him?

1. I purchased him for my husband who has failed to find time to ride/work the horse

2. I live on the gulf-coast -I have TOO much lush pasture and this horse gets sore feet every spring on 10 acres of endless grazing. I have placed him in a small paddock area for most of the summer/fall and he is sound -but he cannot tolerate this environment.

3. I have an Arab for my personal horse and prefer a smaller mount for myself.

I want him (Deacon) to have a nice, safe home where he can be cared for without the risk of laminitis every spring and he can be ridden and enjoyed as he should.

2001 15h bay National Show gelding

2011-10-26T11:23:00.001-05:00

Outstanding opportunity for a totally finished, show and trail-ready Huckleberry Bey grandson! Rides like a Cadillac; gorgeous mover with lots of knee and hock action. Neck reins (spins if asked!), rides bitted or bridleless; catch and ride anywhere. Unflappable, responsive riding partner; sensible and sweet natured. Stands 15HH, barefoot; healthy and sound.

Click to view pedigree. His sire is an english pleasure performer by Huckleberry Bey out of a 5/8ths Bask mare, and his dam is a true half Arabian (double registered National Show horse) by saddlebred Stonewalls Hy-Inspiration out of a Raffles bred mare.

Huckleberry Bey (Varian Arabians)

Film producer and Arabian owner Mike Nichols describes the impact of these bloodlines: "Bay El Bey changed the Arabian horse in America and then in the rest of the world. He put on long, arched necks that are set on very high. His special combination of intelligence, disposition, size, motion, and type redefined the horses we are breeding. Through his three great sons, Huckleberry Bey, Bey Shah, and Barbary, three great horses who made very different contributions, Bay El Bey has created the Arabian of today. He is not gone and will never be forgotten."

Dam's half-sister Insignia (Stonewalls Hy Inspiration X Arwen Dunadain - Sherman Ranch, CA)

Stonewalls Hy-Inspiration, a bay tobiano saddlebred stallion, is a producer of lovely National Show horses and saddlebreds with color and lots of action! He is double-bred Stonewall King, a world-renowned stallion whose impact on the breed is still seen today.

2006 Gaited cross gelding

2011-09-29T19:00:00.001-05:00

Comfiest canter ever! Very tolerant of gymkhana movements, right-sided mounting, bareback, etc... He was very gentle with the 8yo in the video and you could see him reading her very carefully not to go too fast, being it was hot and he was sweaty- If she started sliding he stopped. He does have the little man syndrome in a mixed herd but doesnt get ugly.. he is a people horse! If you are petting another horse he will literally come between you to get petted like a dog. He would make a great horse for a teenager or small adult. He goes anywhere asked and is not spooky. 14hh, Sylacauga, AL.

Jenni Bach Carico (call/text) +13347907721, located in Dothan, AL. Priced to sell!

Per Jenni: She should be around 46" or so. Has been ridden by kids, but I led a 12 yo around. Haven't put a bit in her mouth yet, just rode with her halter, bareback. She has a very animated trot, lots of action. Lots of mane! She just needs love. She does come running when she sees me and whinnies at me now. She's had her feet trimmed and wormed. Her worse vice is rearing when she gets scared. Not while riding, just on the ground. Reared a few times for the farrier, after a few tugs then she was great. She could easily show pony halter and do very well with some conditioning. Would also be fabulous behind a cart!

For Sale -CW Flashy Lil Blonde

View pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/cw+flashy+lil+blonde

Per Tina Stewart Delbosque (email kaisparkles@gmail.com):

I have decided to sell Blondie because of my upcoming school plans and ever changing schedule. I will be starting school in January 2012 and in addition to having a child on the way, simply will not have time to coordinate her whereabouts. This year she had a beautiful buckskin colt out of a Hollywood Dun It stallion. She is broodmare and pasture sound. She is not currently show sound. I showed Blondie in 2008 in the Rookie classes. We won the big Rookie $1,000 added class at the Spooks Gotta Gun Cabin Fever Classic. Several other wins and top 3 places along with a Reserve Champion at the AQHA Region 9 show. She is 100% finished and knows all of her maneuvers. She loves to work and is one of those horses that will give you 110% even if she was not 100% sound. I have well over $20,000 in her and add another $5,000 in vet bills. No one has been able to tell me what is wrong with her front end. I do know its something to do with angles. She went to the trainer barefoot and sound and came back in wedge shoes. Still 2 years later and she's still "not right." This isn't saying that she can't be sound again. I have no idea. I just do not have the money to put into her to find out. I wish I did. To recap: She is pasture sound with regular (no more than 8 wks apart) trimmings and CORRECT angles. They told me it was not navicular, not founder, can't find bone chips, can't find anything wrong with her hooves, so go figure. She is breeding sound She is kind of a diva and loves her stall but is an easy keeper and does well on pasture as well. She's 14.2, beautiful golden palomino w/ a white mane and tail. She is 8 years old. AQHA and PHBA registered. 1/2 AQHA point and 4 PHBA points. She has about $500 NRHA money and won about $800 non-sanctioned at the Spooks Gotta Gun show as well as countless Green Reiner classes. Serious inquiries only and considering reasonable offers. She is currently located in Montevallo, AL.

She's 10 yo, 16h, appendix Dash for Cash bred off the track gray mare. Currently a 2D with tons of potential for 1D. All running blood; Mr Eye Opener is her grandsire on the top side; Beduino is four back on her papers. She also has Easy Jet, Go Man Go (x2), and Raise a Native (x 3); also Blondys Dude and Two Eyed Jack farther in her background. She is very quiet and shy, not mareish or mean at all. As far as running her through the pattern, she is all run - have to hold her through the pattern, especially at the first and third barrel, or she is ready to race. If she can be kept on the barrels, she can snap right around them and has progressed nicely over the years; she has been on the pattern since 2007. She has been with a trainer for several months and is currently being hauled and run, regularly placing in the second off with much room to spare. She would be good for a youth on up.

Not a "dead head" or "pokey pony" - just right for a confident beginner or an intermediate rider looking to do more than just walk, trot, canter!

This pony has proven herself and been year end Central Florida Hunter Jumper Association Champion one year and has numerous championships from walk trot, crossrail, short stirrup, children's hunter to pony hunter, including top ribbons in the pony hunter division at HITS/Ocala. This pony has taught many very young children to ride and show over the years. The pony is older and is still sound and does not look her age, but we are looking to lease her out to be a deluxe walk/trot and crossrail show pony to an individual child who wants to start their show career right. This pony is not marish and is as sweet as they get. Must have a reputable and knowledgable trainer. A parent's and trainer's dream come true. Please contact owner for pricing details.

Nice opportunity for a very handsome, very tractable trail mount!

2010-11-11T13:59:00.000-06:00

This is Duke. He is a super quiet quarter horse gelding with about 60 days riding on trails, pasture, and round pen work. Excellent all around prospect, particularly for western events. Skipper W bred (no papers) and certainly running type, with a very gentle, inquisitive personality. Mid range in the herd; easy keeper; no vices whatsoever; does everything asked of him. Ready for a job. Located in Forestdale, AL.

Inquiries, ride trails, terms, leases welcomed.

2004 15H Bay grade Arabian mare

2010-11-11T13:51:00.000-06:00

This is Ishara.

Ishara is an outstanding all around prospect. Tons of extension, reach, and form for dressage; "sane" enough for pleasure riding, stamina and hardiness to push through an all day trail ride. She has about 60 days of riding and has been exposed to trails, picket lines for camping, and both english and western style riding, mostly equitation work. She is not a very forward horse and waits to be cued to the next speed. Rides bitted or bitless, even in just a rope halter. Very pretty, correct, balanced conformation with excellent hip, stretchy neck, and refined head. Mid to low range in the pecking order; catch her where you find her (or sometimes, where she finds you!).

Pics current as of Fall 2011.

Located in Forestdale, AL. Inquiries, ride trials, term purchases welcome.

2004 jet black Friesian/Paint cross gelding

2010-10-12T14:05:00.000-05:00

Meet Figaro. Jet black, friendly, and solid at 15hh. Multiple abilities! A great potential eventer; very handsome for the dressage ring; easy on the trails; sharp reiner - sliding stop! Pretty mover, flashy head carriage, gentle character, great around young kids or with fragile riders. So broke and easy to ride.

1991 Buckskin draft/qh gelding

2010-10-06T10:35:00.000-05:00

Blue Eyed Buck (Buck) is a 15hh Buckskin Draft/Quarter horse cross with a lot of miles under the saddle. No papers, has a blaze and 4 white socks. Will ride western or english and does good in just a regular tom thumb or broken snaffle bit; he has a nice, soft mouth. Barrel raced in his younger years, but has mainly been used as a trail horse in recent years - many of those miles bareback! He LOVES the trails and will go all day. Very road safe, has had 18 wheelers and loud trucks and cars fly by him and he doesn't even flinch; will cross anything and not spooky at all. Buck is neck reined, but listens to direct reining as well. Has jumped up to 2 feet, but not professionally trained in that area. Super calm but will give speed when asked as well. Kept barefoot because he has very solid feet. He does great for the farrier as well as the vet. He is UTD on everything and had his teeth floated less than a year ago. No bite/kick in him. No health issues EVER. He is a very easy keeper and maintains his weight pretty well throughout the year. Buck is a sweet heart. He would be best suitable for someone who loves the trails and wants a sure footed, solid trail companion.

2007 gray pinto half arabian gelding

Super, super safe, 14.2hh. 1/2 QH/Arab; stocky built. Pretty faced. Very easy keeper. Used for demos all over with special needs kids. She has been used in camps and painted on and stood up on, double ridden, bareback, etc. Kind of a slow poke; good for little ones!

2001 14'2hh Bay AQHA mare

2010-07-15T13:40:00.000-05:00

This is a 10 yo AQHA bay mare, "Sparkle Dun It." She is a proven broodmare (4 flawless babies) and has 12 months professional reining training and years of pleasure riding on trails and with many kids under saddle. Her babies are all headed to show and perform and are exceptionally quiet, friendly, and trainable.

She is extremely quiet for all manner of handling (kids, baths, etc). Stays barefoot and can be booted for hard, rocky trails of extended duration. Rides bitless in a noseband bridle; very lowheaded. Knows "whoa" extremely well. Can also ride with a bit in more knowledgeable hands.

Sparkle was not shown due to arthritis in her hocks after training. It does not prohibit her from regular riding by smaller riders (200# max including saddle weight) and she is sound at all three gaits. Aggressive gaming work and jumping would be her only limitations.

She is available for freelease wherein vetting, farrier, worming, board, and feed are the responsibility of the lessee. Owner stipulates maintainance of a $5000 insurance policy on her (usually about $10-12/month) for duration of the lease. Breedlease is also available to approved stallions.

Sparkle is not available for sale; her owner is pregnant and not currently riding so is seeking useful options for her sweet mare. She is coming off a breedlease this year and is ready for a new job! Many, many more photos; just ask!

2004 15hh Chestnut Half-Arabian gelding

2010-07-13T22:24:00.000-05:00

Dancer is a quiet, laid back horse on the lazy side. His owner is offering him for freelease or 1 month trial & purchase option. He has all the basics of being broke, has done tons of trails, and could easily be developed into a hunter or dressage mount.

This is sort of a photo chronology of him, from birth, to 3 years, to present. The grey Arabian is his sire. His mother was a registered appaloosa.

Freelease terms: board, vetting, farrier, worming provided by lessee; photo updates provided to lessor, and farm visits available for lessor during the lease term. Year lease option available if desired after 6 month lease period.

2003 Sabino mare

2010-07-12T18:47:00.000-05:00

Fancy is about 7 years old. She has a flaxen mane and tail and is sabino type. She is sound, loads perfectly, and is easy to catch. She went to Clay Cox out of Springville last July for a "tune up" for 30 days. He taught her ground work, how to take the bit correctly, how to flex her neck while you mount, he taught her how to be light on the bit, and also how to trot and canter. She has not been ridden in about 3 months due to lack of time. She is a little heavy on the bit right now as she hasn't been ridden in a while. She is very gentle and has a great temperament.

2006 14'2HH bay QH/Arabian grade mare

2010-03-30T00:29:00.000-05:00

Cora is an easy riding, quiet mare who needs more miles. She is headshy until properly haltered or bridled and it takes a savvy, patient hand to do so. Easy to handle and gentle nature. She will need a rider to build back her confidence in people. She lunges well but is leery of being whipped and is very attentive (bordering on paranoia) to her handler. Lots of ability and potential for someone who wants a true long-term relationship; she is very responsive to quality handling and care. An intermediate rider would do well with her, and beginners have ridden her without difficulty, but due to some of the ground handling skitteriness she would be best for a patient intermediate rider at best, or any rider under advisement of a patient and capable horse person. Easy keeper; has been shod in the past but currently (and comfortably) barefoot; stands well tied for grooming, saddling, and for the farrier.

2010 Grey Mini Donkey colt

2010-03-27T20:58:00.000-05:00

Zappa is an intact yearling mini donkey colt. He has grown up in a herd and family environment; is a little shy at first with people but friendly once he knows "the routine." Gets along with everyone and doesn't boss anyone around. Great security for just about any livestock farm; his braying would alert anyone in hearing range of newcomers to the farm (other animals or people!). He will probably top out around 11H at the very most. Kept meticulously current on worming and trims; good for farrier; very healthy and easy to keep. Located in Calera, AL; email for more information!

2004 14.2H Appaloosa Gelding

2010-03-24T13:22:00.000-05:00

Chief is a 14.2 hand, 7 year old appaloosa gelding.

Per the owner:

He is a good little trail horse (no problems with water, logs, etc) and is current on all shots. We practice natural feet trimming and will be getting another trim tomorrow. He does have some respect issues, but we have been working with him and he has improved immensely (can be pushy/wanders around the pasture when trying to halter). He is not registered and was used in the past for 6 hour trail rides regularly as part of a riding stable.

He is a very smooth ride, and doesn't seem to mind leading or following. Because of the respect issues, I would not recommend him for a beginner. He is good for the farrier; a little shy of fly spray, so we have been using a towel. He enjoys being groomed and is fairly gentle when we give him his treats.

2008 14.2H Perlino AQHA mare

2010-03-20T00:33:00.000-05:00

Check out this beautiful perlino mare by Hollywoods Traditon and out of Chics Hollywood. Her sire is an NRHA Money Earning son of Squaws Bobby Jac by Hollywood Dun It. Her dam is by One Fancy Chic, NCHA/NRHA money earning own son of Smart Chic Olena. She has over 375 performance points in just her four generation pedigree, which also includes the remarkable Hollywood Jac 86, Smart Little Lena, Hollywood Bill, and more.

Per the owner/trainer:

Smart White Chic, AKA Hunny, is started under saddle and doesn't mind you being on her back. She knows how to flex vertically and laterally, in and out of the saddle. She has been ridden twice so far and is planned to be ridden at least twice more in the upcoming week, weather permitting. The riders who have been on her are led around, but they control her movements not the leader. She has superior ground manners, along with her in your pocket attitude. She is a doll and she is a very quick learner. It took me 10 minutes to train her to lounge and flex. I have been around a lot of horses and she has the best personality I have ever seen. She has been taught Clinton Anderson methods on groundwork and has progressed rapidly with them. She crosses water, bridges, logs, and noodles without even thinking twice. This mare truly has a great mind! I wouldn't even consider offering her up for sale, but I am switching breeds and focusing on Paso Finos. I believe this filly has great potential as a 4-H, Gymkhana, In-Hand Trail, Versatility, Play Day type family horse, and should make an OUTSTANDING trail horse with more training. She's the perfect size for a lady's or child's mount once finished.

Hunny is tested Agouti A/A and Red Factor E/e, so if she's bred in the future, she will guarantee you palomino and buckskin foals, even by plain sorrel stallions. She has not been bred yet, but can come with a FREE breeding to JRS Dun Diablo, a grullo 92% foundation registered own son of High Brow Hickory, if desired! Please inquire for more info if interested in purchasing her bred rather than open. View more photos at: http://www.coloredhorsesforsale.com/morephotos.php?HFSid=242

~1990 14.3H Grey Arabian mare

2010-03-19T00:55:00.000-05:00

Harriet and Greg, 3/27/2011

Harriet is around 14'3HH. She is early to mid 20s and a little further along in her training than Izzy, but rusty as she also hasn't been saddled and ridden in years. No papers though could possibly be reinstated with blood typing? - they were lost as the result of the estate owner's death. She rides and would be a perfect trail horse; very quiet, not spooky or jumpy AT ALL, and not motivated for speed without a little encouragement. She would be ideal for someone who truly just wants to amble around the trails, but with a little polish could be worked into maybe a schooling horse. Knows a little neckreining, good stop, no backup (yet!); stands quietly for saddling, bridling, farrier, etc. 3/27/2011 was probably her first ride in many years. Feet and worming meticulously maintained; she has lived on this farm for most of her life so she will need a new coggins as desired.

Harriet under saddle at 3 gaits, two different riders:

She will need a home that can provide some senior feed as pasture alone is no longer sufficient to keep her in good weight; we are in the process of building her up now as the winter was hard on her.

Harriet has a sweet, "follow you everywhere" personality and LOVES attention. She and her daughter Izzy (pictured below) are the meet and greet team at the farm and get along with everyone, from newborns to antiques. Email for more info; located in Calera, AL.

Below are pictures and video of Harriet's daughter Izzy, who is pretty much her twin. Izzy has been sold.

No Rouge On Me AQHA#3473359. DOB March 18, 1996; HYPP N/N, 15'2HH

http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/no+rouge+on+me

Fancy is a gorgeous, proven broodmare who showed Western Pleasure prior to her career as a momma. Her reentry into her show career has been halted due to navicular pain during extensive workouts. She is trained to respond to leg pressure but needs some refinement on her bit response.

A bit on her pedigree: Her sire, Sugars Fancy Man, earned Performance ROM and was the earner of over $2,118 in incentive fund money; he also has AQHA points in nine events: Halter, Western Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle, Green Working Hunter, Working Hunter, Hunter Hack, Western Riding, Trail, Pleasure Driving, and also won multiple All-Around, Reserve All Around, Circuit All-Around, and two State All-Arounds. He sold at the 1996 AQHA World Show Sale for $14,700 at the age of 9. Her dam's sire, Sleepys Man (by solid race earner The Ole Man) was 1975 AQHA Champion; 1979 Superior Western Pleasure; ROM in Performance, and was also a money earner on the racing circuit. She also goes back to classic champions such as Grey Badger II (Grandsire of Triangle Tookie, dam of Two Eyed Jack) and Midnight Jr more than once. Fancy's paternal grandsire, Top Vantage, was a prodigious producer and himself was 1983 Reserve World Champion in Superior Halter. His offspring include champions and money earners in every arena.

Her breeding represents classical racing lines infused with halter types to create a quiet, versatile show horse with a background celebrating the breadth of ability within the Quarter horse breed.

1998 15'2 APHA Mare

2010-02-19T00:25:00.000-06:00

His first time on an equine of any size!

His first time too!

View from the saddle.

Arapa Lace - AKA "Apple" - is one big hearted, miraculous and beautiful mare. She is blind in both eyes due to uveitis (sustained and treated, but still resulting in cataract scars) and is incredibly independent. She has two pony buddies that she tags along with alternately, Twilight and Prairie, and her mini donkey friends. She learns the lay of the land very easily and is often seen grazing off by herself; she is the boss of the herd and no one better get in her way at feeding time! She is extremely trusting in her human companions as well; she knows her name and rides and lunges extremely well by any standard. In fact, she memorized the size of our round pen and easily and fearlessly freelunges in it at a walk, trot, and canter! I am sure she misses her jumping days, but she enjoys lungeline work and trail riding!

I can't tell you how many people have said, "I thought blind horses had to be put down." "You can't ride a blind horse." Apple would beg to differ.

She can do anything a nicely broke horse can do. She IS a nicely broke horse. In fact, on a recent trail ride (which included multiple creek crossings, mud, uphill, downhill, treeroots, rocks, etc - all of which she managed with grace, barefoot AND blind), she was the "confidence builder" for a 5 y/o pony on her first big trail ride, showing her the creeks weren't horse-eating creatures and crossing them without hesitation. She also 'wow'ed the humans with her trailering abilities. We had a couple of folks walk up ("This I gotta see!") for Apple to easily step forward and walk without fear into the trailer.

"Leads, loads, ties, stands for farrier & vet..." wow, that's only the beginning of what this horse can do well and with ease - that all horses *should* do.

Apple is not the only horse to be rideable to a level of winning and performance. Consider these stories:

Valiant
Bright Zip
Wyalta's Miss Bright
And a farm dedicated to their rescue, rehab, and repurposing - from pasture pets to show horses.

Haven't even started to talk about pedigree. First of all, no Impressive lines, yet quality champion western pleasure, cutting, and halter horses - multifunctional horses. Here are a few names: Blondys Dude (x 2), Hollywood Gold, Poco Tivio (ex Poco Bueno), Triples Titan, Jaguar, Doc Bar, Cutter Bill, and a healthy dose of Hancock lines. She is out of Titans Lace by Arapadude.

"Sonny" is ready for his graceful retirement. He is in his mid to late 20s. He ranks lower in the herd and would do best with only a couple of horses. A sweet boy and a gorgeous pasture pet! Please be willing to provide the vet and farrier you use and be able to provide appropriate feed for this guy. He keeps well on pasture with access to a 3 sided shelter, loves the round bale, and appreciates grain/pellets too!

Per the owner:

In the past he had a problem with an intestinal parasite that was immune to ivermectin. I had him treated and got him on a quest based wormer which has worked well. I have him under observation at present to make sure the weight loss is due to the hay problem (being run off by a dominant horse) or if his intestinal damage is resurfacing. So, I have no plans to move him, at least until I can verify and fix the minor weight loss issue.

During his show days...

Helping with hippotherapy...

Enjoying a sunshiney day and some grass...

Sharing "his" hay pile...

Looking dapper in his fly mask...

Clyde is a wonderful ~26 y/o gentleman of a horse with a HUGE list of accomplishments through his years as a hunter/jumper horse, and then later on as a therapy horse. Talk about a horse with heart! He is looking for somewhere to be gracefully retired with a buddy or two. Sweet natured, adores being groomed, no health issues, vices, etc and great, bare, feet. He is pasture sound and doesn't show arthritis issues, but we think he has given enough and doesn't need to be carrying a rider any more!

He is current on shots, coggins, and worming. He has excellent teeth (and has them all!) so is not kept on a particularly special diet beyond regular grain, chopped alfalfa, and a little rice bran. He is a huge fan of the round bale and has no problems eating regular hay! Email for more info!

2001 Spotted Saddle Horse mare

2010-02-12T19:47:00.000-06:00

"Dulce" is an easy riding, nicely gaited, grade 15HH SSH mare. Check out her unique coloring - chocolate brown with white markings, and check out those stockings! Very friendly, "in your pocket" type. She appreciates a patient farrier, is kept barefoot and has excellent feet; stands in the crossties to be saddled or trimmed. She knows her roundpen work and is an awesome trail horse too! She has been ridden by kids, beginners, and everyone else too. Very easy keeper and gets along in the herd with horses of all ages.

2000 AQHA black bay mare

2010-01-29T18:24:00.000-06:00

Pictured below with a 5'11 beginner rider

Trudys Spitn Image is cow horse and quality Foundation bred (Hancock, Waggoner, Baker, Oklahoma Star); Impressive on top (one strain -she is N/N). She is 14'3, 900#, 11 yo. Excellent, useful conformation; good feet (barefoot), easy keeper. This mare has it all going for her to excel in any direction.

She has had some good training on her; she has been on cows, done some competitive trail, etc; most recently (the past 3 years) has been an english pleasure trail horse for an 8 y/o girl (who is now 11), and a western trail horse for her dad. Easy to ride with comfortable gaits and a fantastic stop and willing backup. Rusty on her neckreining. Very cowy and will cut cattle when turned out with them on her own! Sweepy movements and responsive to leg and hand cues; understands the half-halt and will collect or extend as requested by the rider. Personality-wise she is a sweet mare who wants to please; she can be a little pushy on the ground at times (I think she's bored and wants a job!); she is great for the farrier & vet; loads and trailers well. I have known her for about 3 years. Coggins, spring shots, and wormed with zimecterin gold on 3/17/2011. Located in Calera, AL.

2010-01-03T12:39:00.000-06:00

Pretty, pretty, pretty.... full bodied grey mare. This is a lovely mare with a sweet personality. She would be an awesome horse for 4H or a small adult. She is stocky built but not very tall. Green broke and needs an experienced rider to build her confidence. She is pretty enough to show and flashy enough to be noticed. Email sunsetridge@scrtc.com for more pictures, videos, and info. Asking $850... Price does not reflect her quality. Located in Horse Cave, Kentucky.

Grade 12 y/o red and white paint mare, pony size (13'2). This is a nice walk-trot or lead line pony, ridden by beginners on easy trails and pasture. She has no inclinations whatsoever for speed, so not recommended for barrels unless you just want to trot them. Gorgeous lit-up markings; very well balanced and nice conformation; sweet disposition.

Honey and Christy

Per the owner:

Honey is a great horse, will be your pet or work horse. I just broke her as a trail horse; she is ready to be finished for your riding preferences. I've owned her since she was born, in '06. Big bright chestnut, very nice filly, never bred, sweet, will do anything you ask of her, would make a nice cutting horse, very nice hind end on her, strong and stocky, anything for a treat or a sip of Coke. She was broke at the age of 2 and had 2 years of exposure before riding; she is totally comfortable with all your tack/tools, doesn't spook at anything, has pulled logs, ponied other youngsters, walks on tarps, over logs, through ponds; there isn't a thing that will spook this girl. Definitely a water horse - no problem bathing this girl! Very strong trot, nice even canter, clean strait legs, easy going girl, great trail horse, loves to follow, or lead the pack. She was ridden 3 to 5 times a week in her 2 yr old year, now a bit less, but regularly. Very pretty head, knows her Parelli. I mainly use my halter as a bridle, sidepull, hackamore; no need for a bit, but will ride in a bit for refinement. She knows round penning; sweet enough to put the babies on and lead around - actually had another rider fall right beneath her and she never moved a muscle - no kicking, biting, or any unwanted behavior; stands great for farrier, kept bare foot, great feet on her, leads, loads like she's done it a million times, ground ties, crossties, ties anywhere you put her. Current on coggins, utd on farrier work. Thanks so much for looking - please pass along to your friends. May consider dropping the price to the right buyer.

2006 gray arabian mare

2009-12-28T12:18:00.000-06:00

Nicely "crossbred" pure Arabian mare... 4 this year and has been saddled; never bred and been getting the basics of ground handling. Great for the farrier and strong, solid feet. The owner has decided to sell out of green horses entirely to start a family.

I have known this mare for a year or so and she is a strong sporthorse mover - lots of extension, LOVES to free jump, and keeps her head nicely in frame when working and at leisure. She has nice back legs and a good croup from her Egyptian side, personality and endurance from the Crabbet, and size from the Polish background.

A little (more) about her pedigree: She is a cross of Polish, Old Egyptian, and Crabbet lines. Her grandsire is Tali Fahl, the leading sire of champion black get in the country. Her dam has Witez II and Comet lines coming out of Poland during one of the World Wars, as well as Silver Vanity, the best Arabian import from England in the past century. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/blue+rain+fahl

~13 y/o 15'3 chestnut warmblood mare

2009-12-15T07:15:00.000-06:00

This is Amber!

She is one that you really need to ask for a canter and may even want to wear a little spur to get her to move along if you want to go faster than she normally likes to go. Very pretty and comfortable gaits. She is awesome to work around and I have found that nothing yet bothers this mare. She is stout and the type that makes your leg sit in the correct position. The people who owned her previously trail rode her in the mountains on very rocky terrain as well as let their little girls and 6 y/o son ride her everywhere; also husband proof! The little boy toted her around and climbed on her where ever he could find a spot and rode around on her bareback. She has a beautiful coat that shimmers like a new copper penny when it hits the sun the right way.

The rider here is almost 5'10".

Here is a short clip of Amber trotting a crossrail. She has a laid back personality and may need a little more "push" (crop/spur) to really have her going over fences in style! She hasn't been pushed and her quiet nature is being enjoyed for trails and lessons.

This is a very sweet mare who thrives with attention and just loves people. A very easy keeper.

3 y/o Grulla QH-type mare

This is Sweet Pea...She just turned three and she is living up to her name every day. Very sweet and very quiet and willing to do anything asked. Fun mare to be around. Would make an excellent kid's horse or family horse. Has been used on two hour trail rides this month with people who hardly know how to ride, very willing, very easy to ride, lovely gaits, very laid back, and willing to jump. Easy to bareback. Have yet to see her to pin her ears at anything. Easy to catch. Will be suitable for any discipline or as a nice all around horse. This is a horse to be enjoyed for may years to come. She has a lot of filling out to do and should mature to close to 16 hands - stands at 15H now. The picture jumping is her very first crossrail. A good home is a must. Price will increase with training; see video below:

Tommy has come a long way...He is going to be an awesome horse for someone...He has been through a lot in his young life and is overcoming some trust issue and will need someone who doesn't mind taking things slow to start and being patient.

2006 Chestnut APHA mare

2009-11-23T13:53:00.000-06:00

Skips Unpainted Dixie is by a Skipper W line-bred stallion out of an Obvious Conclusion mare (view pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/skips+unpainted+dixie. Super quiet breedingstock paint mare. She needs miles but is perfect on the ground, stands for saddling and bridling, and comfy gaits. Wonderful western jog. Healthy feet, easy keeper. UTD on everything. Stands at 15hh, 1300 lbs. Has been ridden by beginners including my husband and 10 y/o.

She has all the basics but nothing fancy; no neck rein (work in progress). She has very easy gaits and is not forward at all, so it takes some leg encouragement to get her to transition from the trot into the canter. Very level mover and a super sweet personality; will stand tied all day long and seems to prefer people to horses. My husband and stepdaughter can easily ride her. She is not put off by water, tractors, 4 wheelers, dogs, etc. Aims to please and trusts her rider; if she is unsure of something and the rider presses her to move forward, she complies. We've had her about a year and a half, though admittedly we haven't done a ton of fancy riding/training work; just have picked her out of the pasture and played.

calico kitty & great dane pup

2009-11-17T19:13:00.000-06:00

These two new additions to my family as of last week are going to need homes -they are going to the vet this week to get set up for spay and neuter appointments and be brought UTD on vaccines, heartworm check, etc.

Leroy (AKA Leroy Jethro Gibbs, LOL) is a sweet black Dane mix puppy who showed up at an empty farm that was for sale. The owners (no longer living there but still owning the property) were feeding him every day or so and he seemed determined to stay there. He was emaciated but is putting weight on steadily. I have begun crate training with him in the house and he has caught right on. It is clear to me that he may have been abused as he is extremely submissive and desperate to please -he thrives on praise and wants nothing more than to sit on the floor with his head in your lap to be petted. He is friendly with other dogs and completely non-aggressive Not the biggest fan of cats but does not pursue them -just growls if they prowl too close to his crate. He is gorgeous, no evidence of mange, and was bathed and flea-treated when I brought him home -he was perfect for being bathed and is enjoying having a home. He adjusts very well to routines and is learning "Go to Bed" and "Wanna go Outside" and lets you know via whining when he needs to go outside. He can be a bit timid so would need someone who can understand that and be patient.

Rosy is a medium hair muted calico kitty. She has had a litter of kittens but is herself still pretty much a kitten; tiny and dainty and all she wants is to be in your lap or laying near you purring. She came from a client's farm where she evidently wandered up; they found homes for the kittens but didn't need her -she's not a barn cat -and their dogs were considering her for supper. She is just a doll; curls up in bed with you; pretty unassuming; doesn't pick fights with the othr house creatures; seems to tolerate the dachschund and they have been spotted sleeping close together on the couch. She would be ideal for someone who needs a lap kitty; not sure she'd be the biggest fan of a lot of commotion, kids picking her up, etc, though she is quite friendly -just not the "grab and tote around" type. Litter box trained.

Mid-teens Gaited Appaloosa gelding

2009-11-11T20:19:00.000-06:00

Bubba is in his late teens or early 20's (best guess). He has been ridden by young &/or inexperienced people a great deal. He is slowly going blind. Due to the loss of his eyesight, he needs a setting that will ensure his safety.

He is about 15-16 hands. Ideal therapy horse; very calm and loves attention. Likes to be around people and does well with other horses. He goes with the flow and will follow other horses.

He is available to a qualified home, with the understanding that if he be returned to the owner if he is no longer useful. He is healthy (other than his sight) and easy to keep fat. The veterinarian said his optic nerve still responds to light, but he can not determine the extent of his loss of sight. Owner would need to visit the new home and have access to future visits as the new home could permit.

2000 15'3 AngloArabian Mare

2009-11-08T09:00:00.002-06:00

2000 15.3' bright bay, registered, Anglo-Arabian mare. Kayla has tons of potential to excel at endurance, eventing, dressage... anything where you'd want a horse with an excellent work ethic combined with natural athletic ability. She is the type of mare you can pull out from pasture and haul to a schooling show and place without difficulty. Lots of reach and natural timing; scopey and easy to ride over jumps; has been schooled up to 4ft.

Kayla looks and moves like a warmblood. She has easy lead changes both ways, is well broke on the flat second level movements, and is also great on trails. She would be perfect for Dressage, Fox hunting, Pony Club, Eventing, Jumpers or a really nice trail horse. She is brave and willing. You must see to believe. No vices and no health issues. She also rides Western.

I have used her as a lesson horse and have leased her to a lesson program in the past where they primarily did english equitation and trail riding. We have hauled her all over for trail riding and some schooling shows.

Walking and trotting bareback, March 2010

Jumping 2ft verticals - rider had just met kayla and warmed up on her w,t,c around the warmup arena (which had no practice jumps) and then took this course at a local jumper schooling show.

This is "Buddy", registered TWHBEA as Pride's Favorite Copy - reg # 20202842/SO. Papers in hand! Foaled June 6, 2002; 14.3HH; sorrel with flaxen mane and tail with a blaze face.

What Buddy lacks in size and motor, he more than makes up for in heart, personality, curiosity, loyalty....he will go any where and do anything and is a super trail horse. He is the "little engine that could." You have to tap in on the shoulder to get him going, and he needs prodding to hold his gait. However, with consistent riding, he gets better and better. He has been ridden by a handicapped child, a 9 y/o and a 60 y/o on the trail. Very easy keeper - he gains weight just thinking about food. He is current on all shots and negative Coggins (due in January 2011). His teeth were floated in August 2009. Hooves in good condition. No lameness issues ever. Buddy would make and excellent beginner horse, lesson horse, or for a mature person who just wants a horse partner with no drama.

2008 grade chestnut filly

Sparrow is well started and super quiet. Her gentle nature will be an asset to any riding discipline. She stands Just under 13h and will likely mature out under 14h. Great conformation and beautiful neck; this filly would make a strong hunter/jumper pony down the road. She could easily be a 4h-type or open show pony, though her laid back nature probably doesn't lend itself to competitive timed events. She's in no great hurry! Very comfortable gaits and aims to please. Quiet in the herd and an easy keeper; kept barefoot. Video "lazy"lungeing :

Rain (Unpainted Rainbow) is an 8 y/o APHA chestnut frame overo mare, shown some in halter and some riding. Granddaughter of Its Obvious, Reserve World Champion producer and Skipa Charge, a Champion and ROM producer. 15'2HH.

This gorgeous mare passed away unexpectedly due to complications during and after foaling, January 2011. Evidently it was an accidental pasture breeding. A learning point for those with stallions who are unregistered and unintended for breeding: much cheaper to geld them and enjoy them rather than repair torn up fences or hearts after something like this happens.

Very quiet, laid back personality; excellent build and conformation; easy to catch and on the "nosy" side - wants to check out what you're doing all the time! Would be best for an experienced person if her being a riding horse is desired as she lacks a lot of miles. Feet, vetting, worming, etc have been meticulously maintained at regular intervals her entire life. Healthy; stands for everything, leads, loads, ties; intelligent. 9 y/o, 15'2H, skinny blaze and a stocking on the left hind. Gorgeous palomino coloring!

Our new (as yet unnamed) baby - but what a sweet surprise! her momma Karolyna (aka Sugar, a pure Polish mare) carried her "high and tight" as my uncle would say, and being a food hog, no one was ever any wiser since we suspected her to be barren after years of prior attempts to breed her with no avail. a maiden mare :) Chance is her daddy, and this is his second filly on the ground!

sooo excited!

Updates:

We wound up losing this sweet little filly on Sunday, 10/4/09, after an attempt to introduce her to a bigger pen with her dam and another filly. The stress of a new situation was too much, and without too many details, essentially caused her to have a heart attack and cease breathing. Despite all attempts to save her life she did not make it. We are broken hearted at this loss. Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts and words during this time.

2003 AQHA 15'2 chestnut gelding

2009-09-27T10:20:00.000-05:00

"Hot Shot" is a registered AQHA gelding. Tons and tons of trail miles by a variety of riders. He was originally owned by a child who showed him in 4H in gaming and pleasure events. Great personality, solid feet, easy keeper. This photo doesn't do him justice! He is 15'2HH and has been lovingly kept for several years by the same owner. He is easy to ride and would be a great walk-trot horse for a kid or teenager; his biggest issue is lead changes - he knows them but dislikes being asked for them, particularly the left lead - and will countercanter rather than yield the proper lead. Excellent trail horse and could probably track cattle. Trailers easily, good for farrier and vet, UTD on everything; easy keeper.

WONDERFUL 9 y/o TB mare offered in trade for lesson pony!

2009-09-22T14:36:00.000-05:00

Posting this here for a friend of mine:

Sam is a nine year old AP Jet TB mare that was bred by a friend of mine in Ocala. I bought her to breed three years ago and then started training her when her baby turned a year or so, so she is still considered green even though she is nine.

Sam is super sweet, very cute, and very healthy and sound. She is a big-bodied, bay with tons of chrome. Right now, she needs an intermediate rider. I had our trainer on her when we first put her in training and she took her to a few local shows and she was champion every time at 2'6"! However, only kids have been on her for the past year (teens), so she needs a trainer to get back on her for 30 or 60 days again.

She was a great broodmare, as well. She had a beautiful baby by a pony hunter stallion that I am hoping will turn out to be a large pony. Sam is approx. 15.1 or so. She is very big-bodied- not your typical TB so she fits larger people. She has flat feet, so does need shoes all the way around. Her movement is much better without shoes so her baby moves really well.

At one point, we had her priced above $10k, but am very negotiable right now because I am in need of a lesson pony/horse for beginner riders and she is not suitable for that. My teenagers here all love riding her, though, and will be very mad if she leaves! She is very easy to handle- the kids ride her bareback all around the farm, etc. She just can get quick at the trot and little beginner 5,6,7 year olds will be too intimidated on her. I would be open to trade for a nice small horse for beginner lessons or will listen to any reasonable offers. MUST be a good home. She is so sweet and will be missed!

Thanks!

Thee Desperado son! Wow! Journey would make a great hunter pony or even Hunter/WP at the Arabian shows.. He is 9 yrs old, 14.2 hh, rides well; naturally stays on the bit without being asked. Rides well under saddle with no vices; very smart and learns quick. Ridden in a snaffle and has a natural headset on the bit, soft mouth and easy aids. Pretty mover and loves to jump on the lunge, never refuses.

No vices or bad habits, super for the farrier and the vet (even being hot shod), he is current on neg coggins and vaccinations. Has had a 5 y/o on him with a sidewalker; very patient and gentle. He is great with other horses in the pasture, but he is on the lower end of the pecking order. His registered name is Thee Journey RR - http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/thee+journey+rr. He has a great work ethic, loves to please, leads, loads, and bathes. Beautiful and talented show prospect!

2003 54" bay gelding

2009-09-13T00:06:00.000-05:00

Harley is a beautiful bay that has just completed two months of professional training and has excellent ground manners. He has been taken through fundamentals such as desensitization, yielding fore/hind quarters, flexing, one rein stop, submitting to the bit, etc… He has a good bit of spunk and would make an excellent step up horse. He is small and can compete as a pony or a horse. He is exactly 54 inches. He would make a beautiful hunter jumper pony or a great timed events pony. He has been started on barrels and poles but needs finishing. One of the videos is of him doing flying lead changes. He has been ridden by a 10 year old but needs a confident/intermediate child or adult. He has a negative coggins and up to date on all vaccinations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufBuOOZcaXQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBQ-f2wD-Fw

2004 16H Friesian X Percheron Mare

2009-09-05T17:50:00.005-05:00

Duchess is a 5 year old 3/4 friesian and 1/4 percheron mare for sale. She is under saddle and doing really well, but she definitely needs at least an intermediate rider. She is 16 hands, jet black, and has a forelock to her nose, a mane to the shoulder, and a tail that drags the ground and it maintains itself, so don't worry about obsessive grooming! She would make a gorgeous driving prospect and she has been lightly jumped. She has a lot of bone without being drafty so you could take her into some low level eventing classes as well. She is offered for sale with or without a breeding to a pure friesian in the spring. The stallion offered for the breeding can be seen at avalanche friesians and his name is Hedzer.

2009-08-17T21:39:00.006-05:00

15'3, 10 y/o, not registered. i think he'd look great in english tack. he's had a year of vacation due to owner being in a wreck and not riding anymore (not a horse related wreck). probably a little spoiled from being mainly ridden by a 16 y/o in the past; nothing a reminder in the round pen wouldn't solve. soft-mouthed, easy to cue, gives to leg and hand; rusty on reining and giving his head but seems to have had some polish at one time. brand-new, current coggins and will be UTD on fall shots as soon as fall gets here; current on worming and farrier (barefoot). meticulously maintained, fat, slick horse!

Snapfish album; Video.
the above are all from his very first ride in over a year.

he is located in birmingham.

will be ridden and refined towards his abilities until the right home comes along.
