Rubicon (Roo) SOLD!
Unique, well rounded gelding seeks partner in crime. Meet Rubicon AKA Roo. He’s 15.2 and 8 years old. We think he is likely the result of a broken fence but he doesn’t let that get him down. He’s never met a person he didn’t like and he’s popular with the ladies who think he’s so homely that’s he’s actually darn cute. He is versatile and well educated, knowing fancy things like leg yielding and shoulder-in although he’s modest and doesn’t let his head get too big. I mean…how could it get any bigger anyway? Roo is the well groomed, clean cut type and is up to date on all shots, dentals, and farrier. He’s quite low maintenance on the ground and has perfect manners so you can take him anywhere without being embarrassed. He’s a bit more picky under saddle though. While he is safe he can sometimes be over-achieving and he prefers a partner who is more of the quiet, steady, supportive type so they can help keep him balanced. If the match works he enjoys variety on his dates, maybe a trail ride, cavaletti or even a cross rail.

Adorable Talented 3rd Level Dressage Pony seeks capable small adult or teen for Dressage adventures. Gavotte AKA Otto is a 14h 6yo gelding. He is sturdily built with super gaits and talent for collection. He is sweet and well mannered. Ships, bathes, etc with ease. He is easy to have in the barn and plays well with others. At only 6 he is already confident in all of the lateral work and schools solidly at 3rd level with a green flying change. He is wonderfully forward without being spooky or naughty. Unfortunately lack of time forces sale as he does best in a consistent program. Best match is a confident rider who is schooling solidly at 1st level or above as while he is honest he does best with clear direction and support.
Lucky Fellow - SOLD
Lucky Fellow is a 12 year old, 15.1h chestnut gelding with chrome. This little QH thinks he is a big WB! Great gaits, active hind end, super balance, free shoulders and snappy little hocks all in a cute package with a unique blonde tail. He has three comfortable gaits and is easy to sit with lots of suspension in his trot. Fellow flunked out of western training as a youngster but he was discovered several years ago by a dressage trainer and he found his calling! Ready to show first level with confidence and schooling second with easy shoulder in and lateral work. Absolutely sound, super manners, bombproof on the trails, and although inexperienced he also shows talent over fences. While he is a safe and forgiving ride he isn’t suitable for a total beginner as he expects his rider to give him clear direction. This is a horse you will simply love going to the barn to ride every day! Priced to sell at $16,000.
Liberty Bell - SOLD
Lovely 2011 16h AHS premium mare by Liberty Gold for sale. This mare had many wins on the line as a baby including DSH Breed HOY as a 2yo. Breeder had planned to retain her as her personal riding horse but personal circumstances have required the sacrifice of this special mare. Belle possesses 3 lofty correct gaits and has unquestionable FEI talent. She was started late as a 4yo and then has been very lightly ridden since. She is nicely forward, soft in the bridle, and good on the leg and seat. In the trot she gives her rider a wonderful feel and she can already perform nice leg yields as well as shoulder and haunches in or lengthening. She is still finding her balance in canter and is working on perfecting her lengthening and shallow loop at that gait. Belle has wonderful manners, is sound and healthy, and has no vices. No buck/bolt/rear although she can be a bit looky due to her inexperience so currently best suited to a confident capable rider.
Zanzibar (Zane) - SOLD
3rd level dressage, 14.2h Morgansteiner. Zane is a 12yo 14.2h gelding. He is half Morgan and half Holsteiner. Our little Morgansteiner is schooling a solid third level with expressive extensions, supple and flowing lateral work, and a nice green flying change. Zane has a wonderful temperament, superb manners, and has never been lame or sick. He is easy to bathe, trailer, and clip. He possesses three lovely warmblood quality gaits, and he loves to hack in the woods. Zane has shown second level at USDF shows this past summer scoring in the high 60s and consistently winning his classes against the big warmbloods. He just returned from the East Coast Pony Cup where he was champion at second Level and he is currently second in the country for dressage ponies at second level. He is delightfully responsive to ride, forward and in front of the aids without being overly sensitive. He never spooks, even at the shows, and he has never bucked, reared, or bolted. He loves to work and approaches every ride with a can do attitude and tries so hard to please. He is currently schooling pirouette canter, and has started half steps and loves it! He would be a wonderful partner for a junior or petite amateur who wants a reliable friend to learn the lateral work and to gain confidence at the shows. While he is very safe because Zane a fairly forward ride he would be best suited to a rider who is ready to ride first level work or above.

She has an excellent work ethic with good rideability and is currently solidly working first level with super transitions, leg yield, and counter canter. She showed first level this summer with scores in the 70's. She improves daily and has the temperament and athleticism to go to the FEI. She is a quiet type who is tolerant of rider mistakes. Anika also shows talent over fences and although she has only jumped a couple of times she is very honest, careful, and calm over fences. This mare is priced to sell quickly and is a super fancy amateur or junior mount.

Obidiah - SOLD |
Obadiah is a 7yo. 16+h Morgan X Hanoverian gelding. This is a pretty cool horse, we call him a Morgaverian. He is athletic with 3 above average gaits and nice potential. Handsome and strongly built. Confident and not spooky. Has just completed 6 months of professional training and is a very focused student and learns quickly. He currently schooling first level, and does a nice shoulder in and even a half pass in trot, finding the lateral work easy. He enjoys hacking and cavaletti work and willingly jumps a cross rail. Good manners, easy keeper, no health or soundness issues. He is a safe ride with no buck, rear, bolt. Does best with a rider already competent at keeping a horse round in his canter work as he can still get a bit unbalanced in that gait without some half halts and support. He is also quite stout so if you're looking for a smaller horse this one rides bigger than his actual height of 16 1/2 hands. Neat horse for someone wanting a well rounded partner for adventures. Located in Claverack NY. I have new training horses and he won't get the time he deserves.

Sound and healthy although just coming off 3 months rest from popping a splint (has been cleared 100% by the vet and there are no future soundness concerns radiographs available). Easy in the snaffle or double, super changes including tempis up to threes, easy laterals and half passes are so simple. Suitable for all but the most timid rider.
