He is a bright bay with plenty of chrome. Beau strives to please his rider and LOVES to jump. He was shown in first level dressage in Canada. In 2020 he started his hunter jumper career with his junior rider! He competed on the MHJA circuit doing the hunter divisions up to 3ft with scope for more and the equitation classes up to 3 feet as well! Beau would have a blast in jumper ring. He is an athletic horse with no quit and would do phenomenal with an ambitious rider that enjoys showing and riding.  He has the skills and time to ride him. Beau jumps a 10 every time! He is fun to flat and has all the fancy buttons! Beaus outstanding form over fences and his incredible movement has eared him an incredible show record. Beau has won various year end awards with his owner since 2020. Some highlights include placing 1st in the MHJA Limit Junior Medal at finals, 2nd overall in the children's hunter division, 3rd overall in non-professional hunters and 3rd in Limit Junior Eq O/F. This past year Beaus' owner attended MSU and was not able to provide the consistent work Beau thrives off of. So our loss is your gain! Beau is looking for his next person as he has many years left in the hunter, jumper, equitation or dressage rings. Beau will be happy to take you anywhere you want to go! He is eligible green on the A circuit as his show record is all at the local level. This is a great opportunity to scoop up an amazing horse. Priced low-mid 5 figures. Beau had a minor colic in 2023, other wise we have not had any issues with him. He has clean x rays and is the easiest keeper with no vices!

Yukon

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!

This horse is a stunning brown and white with an absolutely gorgeous thick mane and tail and beautiful feathering on all 4 legs. Not only is this girl as beautiful as a picture in a magazine she’s got the personality to match. Tessa will stand like a statue tied or not for as long as you want to groom and handle her. She is extremely careful as the little ones work around her legs and feet. She loves the attention and loves to be doted on. She leads, loads, clips, and baths all with no issues. She can live inside or out with no vices and gets along with the others. This girl really speaks volumes for herself as you watch her video. She will walk, trot, canter, jog, lope, and is so soft in your hand, and listens so well to your seat and leg ques. You do not even need tack to ride her around and I’m not just talking about a walk, I’m talking about walk, trot, canter, jumps, trails, parades, or even just a ride around an arena… she will do It all tack-less. Tessa has all the buttons one may want but is easy enough to teach the kiddos. She’s worked at a zoo showing off her tricks and you better believe she’s a crowd favorite. She’s seen all types of exotic animals and could not care less about them. She’s also one of the best trail horses I’ve sat on. She will navigate any terrine on a long rein with any level of rider. Trailblazing thick brush, wildlife, and water all no problem. She will take the lead or follow behind, even venture out alone, she will pony horses twice her size as well. This horse has the best mind on the planet we have yet to find anything to spook her and that includes our blow-up Dino costume. Dino can groom, tack, lead, as well as ride her and she couldn’t care less. She has carried the flag, been roped off of and used to work cattle. If this is not quite enough her liberty work will have you asking is this a pony or a dog!! She sits, lays and bows on command!! What fun the kids have had with her! She also has experience driving. I can keep going but I’ll stop here.
