Anywhere this boy goes he is greeted with “wow you’re beautiful” and he loves the attention! Boots is registered with the American Quarter Horse Association. His papers go back to the well known “Skipa” He is 5years old and will mature at 15.1hh. Boots is not only bred to a T, conformationally correct, and stunning he is also fancy broke, fun and handy enough for a cowgirl! He will move right off of your seat and leg. His transitions both upward and downward are effortless. He will lope right from a walk and stop on whoa. Boots has a soft mouth and will ride in any bit from a simple snaffle to a curb. This boy is an all rounder and can head any direction. Boots is quick on his feet and very catty along with being quick to pick up anything you throw at him. He has been started on the barrels as well. He’s got plenty of miles out on the trails. Boots has been to many local metro and state parks. He’s willing to lead or follow in a group or ride out alone. Boots has been roped off of and done some basic ranch work. Give this boy a bath and take him to the show ring or just enjoy a relaxing trail ride or get him in the barrel racing/roping pen. He’s fun for the more experienced rider but has a sensible mind. He has recently started his English training and is doing amazing. This boy is the definition of an all around horse. Please enjoy his video as he can speak for himself.

Patch has been hauled all over the Midwest and is no stranger to woods, water, wildlife, traffic, cyclists and any other obstacle you may come across on a trail. He’s been ridden out in the field and down the road. He’s more of a slow and steady kind of guy who will take his time soaking in the scenery. He loves teaching kids and beginners as he’s just got a very calm and kind demeanor. He has been used in kids camp doing arena work. He will walk, trot, canter, and take both leads. He also has great flying changes. He comes equipped with stellar gaits, as he’s one of the most comfortable horses you will ever sit on. He will stop on a dime and stand patiently. He has been ridden by up to 3 kids at once and has no problem. He also jumps around and dose so in great form! He’s the ultimate family horse as he’s big enough to carry a full-size adult or several children all at once but yet he’s kind enough to take care of some of the tiniest riders. He’s a confidence building type of guy. Patch lives outside with other horses and he plays very well with them. When you walk outside he’s always one of the first to greet you at the pasture gate. He’s a very easy keeper. Patch has been in several parades, he has even carried a flag. Commotion and loud noises don’t phase him a bit. He has completed our desensitization training with flying colors! He is also broke to drive and will do so single or double. He’s been down the road, and in the field! Patch has endless possibilities. He could be a best friend for any family. He could fox hunt, play in pony club, cart classes, show in any laid back discipline such as equitation, showmanship, trail, obstacle, or even a hunter under-saddle. He is correct in every way and has a demeanor to match.

Here is a very special girl that we absolutely adore! She was born and raised on our family’s farm. Ember is as sweet as can be and as cute as a button. She is a pure bread section A welsh pony out of imported stock. She will mature at 12.2hh. Ember is 4 years old. She is a pretty chestnut with a white blaze. Ember is a joy to ride and currently working in our lesson program. The kiddos love riding her and is a favorite for many of our students. Ember has a nice quiet walk, a floaty flat kneed trot, and the most delightful canter. She knows both her leads and has been very lightly started over fences. She rides a snaffle bit and is soft in the mouth and has great breaks! Ember has great ground manners and you can catch her anywhere in the field. We think Ember would make an excellent small hunter pony. In fact, many of her siblings have had very successful careers as hunters on the MHJA and USEF circuits. She would also make a great addition to any lesson program or family pony!
