SALE HORSES
ABOUT US
We are a boutique sales barn. When you are shopping for your next partner, whether that be your next upper-level prospect, or just simply your next best friend, know that when you come here you are getting a different approach and a thoughtful process in which I choose horses for my barn.
OUR PROCESS
We have a lengthy process in which we choose our horses. These are all horses I have personally gone and hand-picked. I will not purchase a horse off of a video, I don’t purchase horses off of online adds, and unless I go personally see the horse, and unless it checks off all my boxes, I don’t purchase it for re-sale. I don’t vet everything, however if I question anything, or see that the horse has more than a few starts, I vet before I purchase- longevity is what I am aiming for. Horses that will have a nice long life and a good long career for their next person.
WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR?
First and foremost, temperament. I look for horses with a nice kind eye, and a genuine disposition.
Second thing we look for is soundness and conformation. I look for horses that are correct. A good mover with 3 nice gaits. Often times before purchasing I will see them work under tack, which also helps me make good decisions and gives me a further evaluation of what I may be purchasing.
Third and most importantly, I am looking for a horse that I like to look at, and a horse that makes me smile. Something that makes him/her unique in its own way. Maybe is a bit of a goof or just a love bug, but something that makes them special. For me this is personal. I have spent my life with horses, and I really love when I walk in the barn and see uniqueness in beautiful ways. A horse that strums on my heart strings a bit, and a horse that is happy to see their human. I think that goes a long way, and if you have a horse that just doesn’t give a damn, then you’re basically setting yourself up for failure.
Since we run on a much smaller and more personal scale, we believe in having new horses here for at least 30 days before listing them for sale. That time allows me to assess the quality of the horse and helps us match our horses with the right people for long term success.
OUR POLICIES
We operate on a first come, first serve basis. Prices of horses are subject to change at any time.
Buck's Lodge
Ben is a 6 yo TB gelding with a record through the novice level of eventing. Ben has 3 quality gaits and has plenty of scope over fences. This is a horse for the future as he has all the makings for an upper level type, along with his labrador-like personality, which makes him the perfect partner. He hacks alone or in company and travels to shows well- he is a favorite in the barn. 45k
Nona
Nona is a 6yr old 16.2h unraced TB mare. She has been brought along slowly and carefully with her future in mind. This is a brave girl who takes you to the fences and really enjoys having a job. Nona has experience at the local jumper shows up to 2'9 (has scope for much bigger fences) and has been to some dressage shows. 20k
Third Times a Charm
"Taffy" is a 16.2h gelding. He is a big boy, but as gentle, tolerant, and sweet as they come. WTC in the arena, jumps anything you point him at, and is fabulous to hack out along or in company. He would be best suited for someone to dabble and win at the lower levels with and enjoy his trail rides. Super easy going guy with a very in your pocket personality. 20k
