FAQ:
What times do you have available to show horses: I do have help with the riding and showing of horses so we have appointment times during the week and weekends available.
What is your sales policy: I operate on a first come first serve basis to appropriate qualified homes. I do my absolute best not to pick favorites and honor the first come policy. Essentially what that means is that I do not hold horses. Horses are available until they are paid for or until a vetting is actually set. If vetting is actually set up then I will HOLD the horse. However, I will continue to show the horse until the vetting is complete and payment is made. There are many reasons that people may pass on a horse during a vetting and another customer may be perfectly happy with the results of the said vetting. It is also common that people back out of vettings or simply change their mind before a vetting. Until a vetting has been set, the horse is available to be sold. That does mean a horse may be sold to someone who buys the horse sight unseen before your appointment to come and see it. I will always let you know before you make a drive out to my farm if a horse is sold. I do my best to notify everyone right away that a horse is sold. I realize it can be frustrating to have a horse sold that you wanted to come and see but many of mine do sell to buyers who are comfortable with the buying sight unseen process. IF you have any questions please let me know. I like to say that there are always more horses and if I sell one you are interested in then I will do my best to find you another one!
Vetting Policy: Vetting must be set up within three days after agreeing to move forward on a horse. You have two days after the vetting to review films, make a decision upon a vetting and pay for the horse. I cannot hold horses longer than 24 hours after a vetting is complete. Our horses are in demand and generally have a waiting list.
What payment methods do you accept: I take paypal, venmo, cashiers check and wire. Personal checks on a limited basis and must clear before horses leave.
Do you have a list of vets in your area: I am in Delaware and they aren't as many vet practices as in larger areas but I do have a list of vets and you are welcome to have your own vet come if they are in the area where they can travel to me. All the vets do digital xrays. Most are very comfortable vetting for customers who can't be present for the vettings. They typically will do the flexions, lunging, etc and then call to discuss the results before proceeding to anything else.

Do you ship or have a list of shippers: We do ship within a 3-4 hour range and can often do longer trips depending on the schedule. I have many shipping contacts and can also help you get shipping set up. I have many horses that ship long distances. I will hold the horses for a week at no cost while shipping is arranged but after that it is $25 a day until horse is picked up.
We have a 7 day pick up policy after your payment has been made. We have a very busy barn with limited space and are unable to hold horses past seven days.

Bear Cub- 4yr 16.2 h gelding sired by Kentucky Bear out of a Sligo Bay mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/bear+cub3 This lovely horse is lightly raced, retired sound, no injuries and no vices and has been let down post track for several months. He raced in Canada and is Canadian bred. I am so impressed with him already. He shipped in at 1am and unloaded in the dark like a pro. Just settled right in. Got his hot shoes put on this morning and stood like a champ in the cross ties. Was just a star for his pictures and lovely in the free area. He just got his teeth done later this afternoon. Talk about a big first day. I love his sweet kind face and his soft eye. Lovely mover. Nice bone. Nice feet.

Always Free- 5yr 16.1 h gelding sired by Dialed In out of a Tiznow mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/always+free3 Funny I don't think I even looked at the full pedigree on him but now this is making so much sense. I have a huge fan of Dialed In but I really really love Tiznow babies. This guy sold for $120k as a 2yr. He retired sound, clean legs and has no vices. I have to say I get some really special horses but this horse is spectacular in so many ways.
He walked off the trailer and our jaw dropped. He just has the "look" and you know it when you see it. He was doing some passage in hand and we knew he was going to move well. He is so well mannered and just professional. We let him go in the free area and even jumped him over a little jump.
Later in the day we hopped on for his first ride and he just blew us away. He ran less than two weeks ago and essentially is just off the trailer but went like this already??? Holy smokes. I mean we just kept going what more can you ask of him on a first ride. Soft, balanced, willing to move laterally, naturally in the bridle, great walk, super canter, lovely trot and the brain is just unbelievable. Take a watch of the video. I have a feeling everyone else will recognize this one is pretty special and he won't last long. WOW!

Switchblade- 16.1 h 6yr gelding sired by Liason out of a Rockport Harbor mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/switchblade5. This horse is just one of the nicest easiest going horses in the barn. He retired sound, no injuries and has no vices. He came off the track and then lost a shoe, bruised his foot and is recovering from an abscess but we are on the right track. He is just one of those horses that is drama free. No lead rope required to walk him. Crossties, clippers, baths, perfect for hot shoes, etc. Super manners. Professional.
He had his first ride today and was exactly the same way. Perfect at the mounting block and one of those horses that just goes right to work eager to please. He was really learning to soften and stretch across his back. Lovely canter. Great brain.

Lefty Long- 16.2. h 4yr sired by Distorted Humor out of an Officer mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/lefty+long Lefty was castrated recently and had some complications which resulted in infection, hematoma, etc. He just shipped up from Fl and I am not convinced he is 100% just yet as he is still very ouchy and tight with some hardening in that castration site. Best thing is movement and of course will have the vet look at it. He has been on a long course of antibiotics but as we know horses don't follow the rule book. He is unraced due to a case of the slows. Sound with no vices. Looks to be a lovely mover but of course he is like hey people my man parts hurt and I really am protecting myself. Poor dude!

Discreet Attitude- 16.1 h 7yr gelding sire by Discreetly Mine https://www.pedigreequery.com/discreet+attitude. This lovely horse found himself in an unfortunate situation when the owner had health issues and he was just left in the field. He last raced in 2018 and had 6 starts. This is one heck of a nice horse. He isn't quite ready yet as he needs some weight and muscle but this boy has lovely conformation, super mover and boy can he jump. We really didn't want to push him as he came up from FL and being a bit underweight/muscled that is a tough trip. He is just the nicest horse to be around. Stood ground tied while I clipped him up and pulled his mane. Cross ties perfectly. So easy to handle. Perfect manners. Just super pleasant. I think this one is going to blow us away in another month or so. He is sound, no injuries and has no vices.

Foti- 16.1 1/2 5yr gelding sired by Scat Daddy out of a Silver Deputy mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/foti. This boy is just ultra sweet and very big bodied as most of the Scat Daddy horses. He last raced in 2019 and was not a good race horse but they started to try again this year but quit with just one workout. He just wasn't going to be anything. He is sound, clean legs and has no vices. Great feet! This boy is just a lovely mover with a great canter. I have loved all my Scat Daddy horses. Just uphill, light and athletic types. He has an extremely ammy friendly brain. If flatwork is hard for you it will feel easy on this horse! He is just built right into the bridle. Lovely mover with a canter you could ride all day. He has been started over fences.

City Bridge- 16h 3yr gelding sired by Slumber (GB) out of a Perfect Soul mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/city+bridge2 So when we say we want Tb's that are bred to move, gallop and jump I would say this pedigree is pretty much exactly that and the pedigree on this horse doesn't lie. This is one heck of a nice horse! City is unraced but did train. He retired sound and has no vices. Small old cold splint left front. He is pretty growthy but boy has he filled out so nicely in the month that he has been with us. Putting on weight and is currently just over 16h and growing. Since he is young and growthy we have only done one ride on him just to see his brain but we will do intend to do some more. We have tested him in the free jump chute and this horse is an incredible jumper. I am talking the ones you all hope to find. He can move, gallop and jump. The neck connection on this horse is really something special. I think he has all the pieces to be a top horse. He has nice bone and very nice feet.
While he has a good brain he is also very athletic and a bit more sensitive which I think is part of what makes him so athletic and special. He is a think and learns extremely fast and is always looking to his person for approval. He loves people.
He has excellent manners. Cross ties, good for hot shoes, clippers, shipping, huge sleeper in the stall, happy with friends or without and generally just very smart and willing.

Twice the Coverage- 16h 4yr growing mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/twice+the+coverage I LOVE the breeding on this mare. She is unraced but did train. She is sound, clean legs and has no vices. She has an old scar right hind ankle, a cold tiny bump left cannon bone which doesn't even feel like a splint a few tiny little scars. I have no idea what happened with her clip job but she says it's just hair and it will grow back lol... but she's embarrassed so don't talk about it too loudly. This is a beefy mare! Huge chest, barrel and hind end. She hasn't missed any meals. She's going to be a big girl. I suspect she will be a 16.2 h mare when done growing especially with her breeding. I seek out this breeding for that canter/gallop. What a nice hind leg on her.
She has nice manners. Sensible. Easy to ship and work with in the barn. She has went to Aiken to be restarted. She is currently started on the flat, over fences and is hacking out.

Elfy- 16.1 h and growing 5yr mare sired by Field Commission https://www.pedigreequery.com/elfy. One nice thing about our program here is that you get to see the horses as they start their training. We did a first ride on Elfy and then taught her some lunging in side reins and the difference in the second ride is really neat to see. Here is the video of ride 2- https://youtu.be/ViY2KIOBm3M You can see she is really starting to stretch, come forward and let go over her back. I think it is very important for people to see the progression videos as that is what it is all about. This mare is extremely smart and tries so hard. She has picked up everything we taught her. We switched to the flexible herm sprenger duo bit and she really is liking that. She is getting her teeth done tomorrow which she needs.
This is a lovely sound lightly raced mare that is priced extremely reasonable for the quality and talent. She has lovely feet, nice bone and is big bodied. She is currently growing and I suspect this is going to be a nice beefy girl in a few months. She is a serious love in the barn. Great manners. She has no vices. Very easy to live with and going to really be nice.

Bullgrats- 16.1 h 6yr sired by Congrats https://www.pedigreequery.com/bullgrats This is one chunky boy to the point some horse shoppers this weekend said it looked impossible that he was a race horse :) He really is just one thick chunk of a TB with big beautiful bone and super duper nice feet! If anything he has filled out in the month that we have had him here. Bullgrats retired sound with clean legs and he has no vices. He won his last race but was running out of conditions hence being retired.
Bullgrats is an absolute hilarious personality in the barn. He loves to play, likes toys, food and just generally is a busy body type of horse. He loves a job and has super work ethic. We really just started him back because after arriving he managed to tweak something along with having an abscess so we gave him a bit of time and he has now had several rides back on him.
I would say he is a horse that is very easy to ride in that he is extremely balanced on his own, stays in a lovely shape, is soft and really allows you to sit around him and put your leg on him. He can be a bit of a horse that likes to play around but is absolutely harmless about it. He just sort of has that playful personality and you have to remind him to stay on task.

Irish was imported from Ireland in July of 2020. He was broke and w/t/c jumping, going xc and through water and ditches in video I saw of him in Ireland. However, he arrived in America essentially afraid of people and unable to catch. I got him in the very beginning of October and have worked to essentially start over with him getting him to like people again and doing all the basics. He is actually quite well broke but it takes him a minute to warm up to people. He is very good with his manners you just have to work slowly around him. However, he is extremely brave and confident with everything else so it's not really an issue with him and the world but more him and people. He is now w/t/c in the big ring and doing very well. He has a soft mouth, naturally carries himself, good off the leg and very brave and well behaved. He is still a bit leary of mounting but getting better. Not ideal for someone who isnt going to continue to work on the things we are working on but if you have time and patience this horse is going to hunt/event and anything else. He is dead brave and honest. Excellent jumper. He is barefoot and has been very sound. UTD on feet, teeth, shots, etc.

This one is just so so cute and adorable. He retired sound, clean legs. He is an extremely mild cribber at feed time. This horse is just all class. He traveled between Canada and PA to run. He is just one of those old souls. Extremely smart and willing. He had just raced and shipped but on one of the coldest days we climbed right up on him and he went to work. He is one of those horses that is super cute but also ammy friendly as his gaits aren't so huge they are scary. He is really willing to do anything asked of him. His barn manners are impeccable.

This lovely horse just shipped up from FL. He is going to need a bit of time to heal up his bruised feet but his xrays were clean of his foot and ankle. I look forward to seeing what he will look like with some time and weight on him.
