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 limited 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 in full. If vetting is actually set up (scheduled with day/time) we will hold for that vetting if within a five day time frame. We continue to show the horses 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 which is why we do not take horses off the market. 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:
Once we have agreed to move forward with a ppe it should be set up for within 5 business days.
The buyer has 2 business days at max to decide if they are proceeding with the sale after the conclusion of the ppe. A quicker response is greatly appreciated as horses often have a line.
A non refundable deposit of $200 once the ppe is scheduled will hold the horse for you through the vetting. This simply means I will not sell the horse outright or have a sooner ppe set by someone else while we are waiting for yours. The deposit will be applied to the price of the horse. This is a non refundable deposit, so in the event you decide not to proceed with the sale or ppe for any reason it will not be returned.
You can chose not to put down a deposit while waiting for the ppe however, that means someone else might decide to purchase the horse outright before your vetting.
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.

Unionville Equine (PA) 610-932-6800
Equine Veterinary Care (fairhill, MD) 410-392-6646
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. There is a $25 a day fee for anything that needs to stay past the 7 days post purchase.

Kharkiv- 3yr 16.1 h mare sired by Tonalist out of a MEDAGLIA D'ORO mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/kharkiv My friend was like hey I have something that is your type and well yes this is my type. This mare is just stunning! She has the prettiest head/eye on her. I LOVE Tonalist offspring and she fits everything that I love about them so far. They just tend to have nice bone, good feet, nice brains and move and jump well. All the things that check the boxes for a nice sport horse. This lovely girl raced 4x and is retiring sound, no injuries and has no vices. She made the long trip up from FL and is still probably a bit tired but she really has proven to be quite fancy.
She is just lovely to work around and super duper quiet. Just falls asleep for grooming. Great for tacking, baths, mane pulling, farrier and everything in between. She has just been so easy going.
We took a little free video but she was really just not that interested in doing much so we popped on for her first ride and she is way nicer to ride. She makes such a gorgeous shape in the bridle. What an absolutely lovely mover. The w/t/c on her is just beautiful. She is so soft and very quiet. Her balance in the canter is just lovely for a young horse. She was so well schooled for a young horse in a very looky ring. She didn't even blink an eye at anything. Just right to work.
She is just the sweetest most cuddly type of mare. I think she is quite a fancy type.

Ash of my Enemy- 5yr 15.3 h gelding sired by Ill Villano out of a cactus ridge mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/ash+of+my+enemy
This super cute horse ran 16x last racing less than a week ago. He is retiring sound with no injuries and he has no vices. If he looks very much like Dougie who we recently rehomed that would be because he is from the same sire! We were shocked when we put him in the free area and he moves just like Dougie. This boy can move!
The shipper was already impressed by the behavior of this guy when he didn't make a peep when she unloaded another horse. He settled in very easily here. He has been just super easy going. Great in the barn, turnout, cross ties, baths, etc.
He stood very quietly today with absolute chaos happening on the farm with hay being unloaded, horses running and much more!
I thought he looked very athletic but we turned him loose and once again this sire seems to produce horses with some real springs! This boy can move. Can't wait to get on him soon.

Mifflin- 4yr 16.2h growing gelding sired by Broken Vow out of a Midnight Lute mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/mifflin2 I was just told that I needed this one. I trust that people know my type and they never disappoint :) Nothing like having zero pics/video and having to later ask what it looks like lol... I knew I loved the pedigree and honestly it has been so busy I sort of forgot his breeding until I looked it up just now. The midnight lute on the bottom really stamps this horse if you ask me. They are always big moving powerful rangy horses. I also just love anything Broken Vow and find them super athletic.
He just raced recently. Shipped to the farm in KY and then shipped here to DE right after. He is just so so professional and easy! He raced 3x and showed no talented. Retired sound. No injuries and has no vices. He is so chill in the barn that Stacy didn't even know what horse he was until today :) He just hangs out and minds his own business. Great in the cross ties, baths, mane pulling, and everything in between.
We got him out in the free area and boy was he lovely! Super nice mover with this huge lofty canter. He managed to pull a shoe off showing off all his talent but we got a good glimpse of what he had to offer.
We decided he was sound and we did his first ride without his shoe because we have this insanely busy week and we just wanted to pop on and see what he was all about. He is a very big growthy horse and with these bloodlines he won't be done growing for a while. He started to really figure out how to use his body in the right way through the ride. I love that he was just unsure but so willing to take direction. Very much a horse you can ride into a bit and he is just agreeable to anything asked of him. I can see him in a few months with the right muscling and boy he is going to be spectacular! When they have a brain as good as his the training comes very easy.

Rys the Guy- 7yr 16.2 h gelding sired by Distorted Humor of a Royal Academy mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/rys+the+guy
This is a classy graded stakes earner of $440k in 23 starts. I have gotten so many lovely horses out of this barn that I always just say yes because they are so well trained and cared for that it makes our job so easy. Multiple people told me just how nice this horse was and they were spot on! You take one look at him and he is just special.
He is just raced in a stakes race in April. He is sound. He has no vices. Really nice feet. I was told he had a mild suspensory injury several years ago that was very properly rehabbed with over a year of time off before he went back to racing. I think you would be hard pressed to know it looking at him but that is because he was rehabbed so well. I honestly do not think something like this limits a horse at all in another career.
He is a very big bodied type of horse as most distorted humors tend to be. I suspect he will get even chunkier as he lets down. He has been super chill so far. Excellent shipper. Great in turnout, the barn, cross ties and obviously a horse of his caliber has seen it all and been well handled.
He was such a nice mover in the free area and we were really eager to get on him which finally happened today. This boy can really move! He wasn't exactly sure about how to use all the parts but then when he figured it out it was just wow! So much power and he really uses himself so well. He was very much the type you can put a lot of leg on and need to ride up to the bridle. Stacy was laughing that she didn't expect to have to KICK a stakes horse so hard to get it to canter but in my experience these guys often are just the quietest types. He knows he is done racing and is going to be more of the chill type to ride. Obviously he is super professional. He didn't look at anything and just went right to work. I find these horses to be so rewarding.

Ox Hound is a 4yr 16.1 h gelding sired by Oxbow out of a Tapit mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/ox+hound He raced once but struggled with some quarter cracks which took a long time to heal. He is sound, no injuries and has no vices. He currently has glue on shoes and I think his feet look pretty darn good at the moment because they took the time to rehab them. I was told this one was pretty naughty at the track mainly because he needed "brain surgery" via castration which we just did. I am sticking up a video because this horse is wicked nice and I can't wait until he feels better but DO NOT be all judgey. I know he is sore...I expect him to be sore... He is dealing with some castration swelling and he had a little complication. Exercise is super important and sometimes the best time to start these colts that might have been a bit high and mighty is when they aren't feeling quite as cheeky :)
This one remind me so much of the last Oxbow we had and just loved. He is really athletic and to be honest he is extremely well behaved. He still bellows a little bit but to be expected. He has been nothing but perfect for all this post castration torture.

Racey Type- 16.1 h 4yr gelding sired by Freud out of an Empire Maker mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/racey+type Racey ran twice and was successful but he was a bleeder which wasn't allowing him to continue his race career. That will not limit or restrict any future sport horse use! I know everyone will be blinded by his good looks and stop reading so before you get too far he does stick his tongue out to the left. He also does have a minor parrot mouth and the cutest buck teeth you will ever see :) I will say each ride it has gotten better but I don't think there is always a cure to these and I want to be sure to state it in case people miss the pictures or the video. His former rider reached out and told me she rode this horse everywhere on the backside and I can believe it. He LOVE LOVES all sorts of adventures. Not hot, spooky or silly. If you want to cruise around on the prettiest horse he is that for sure.
He has been absolutely wonderful for shipping, baths, clipping, mane pulling, in his stall, in turnout and everything in between. He is sound, no injuries and has no vices. Was great for hot shoes.
He has learned to do some lunging and picked that up right away. He is excellent at standing at the mounting block. He is a nice mover with a huntery way of going in my opinion. He has progressed quickly in just a few rides. He wasn't the softest horse in the contact to begin but he is really figuring it out. He is extremely smart and willing.
He has hacked in the field and around the farm. He isn't looky at anything! He absolutely loves people and loves to have a job.

Seekingarrangement- 4yr 16.2 h mare sired by Verrazano out of a Tiznow mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/seekingarrangement
I really LOVE this mare and funny enough we have decided she likes all of our horse shoppers way better than us. She has just been an absolute star and so far everyone has raved about her but no takers yet. Honestly, this is a mare that I think has come out of a field and went to being able to walk into the show ring in just a few weeks. She is a horse that is big, solid bone, good feet, super mover, great canter and really good jump. She is scopey with a very good front end and the hind end kick to keep the rails up. She is balanced and athletic to cover up for rider mistakes. Yes, she is still green having just been started over fences but the instincts she shows early on are something you can't teach. She is also very brave out xc and hacks out quietly!
She makes a very nice shape in the bridle for people that might not know how to put a horse together. Want to ride on a long rein...she is cool with that and still makes a nice shape. You like her put together a bit more well she will do that too. She likes leg on her but she isn't one you need to kick along. She maintains her pace pretty naturally but will cover for rider mistakes. I don't think she would tolerate anyone that didn't have an independent seat/hand but she is pretty easy for anyone who does.
She is a quiet type that you can ride really into and put your leg around her. She is a big girl at a 16.2 but also big in the body. She has zero marish tendencies that I can see so far. She has been lovely in the barn, stall, grooming, shipping and everything in between. Same horse regardless of how often you ride her.
She is sound with no vices. Just a horse that I think will very much be competitive going up the levels! She is super athletic and we are just scratching the surface of what is yet to come.

Big Perfection- 4yr 16.1+ h gelding sired by Majesticperfection out of a Housebuster mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/big+perfection Biggie was a very slow race horse with four unsuccessful starts. He retired in the fall of 2022 and was just hanging out in the field with some other horses. He came in a bit rough around the edges but as I always say that is the easiest thing for me to fix! Just worm them, do teeth, feet and add some weight and muscle for a glow up.
I really really like this horse! At first he was just a bit unsure about things but more in a hey give me a minute kind of way. He has now gotten back into the swing of things and is being absolutely relaxed and happy. There are horses that you ride and think well this is just easy and he is one of those horses. He is one I think that makes people look like they know what they are doing even when they don't. You just get on and pick up the reins and he says ok sure I put my head here, I don't change my tempo, I pick up my leads perfect and I just go around like a perfect little horse.
He isn't the hugest mover but you know sometimes steady and consistent are the type that win the ribbons. This horse is just super easy and has an excellent work ethic. He has been sat on by a variety of horse shoppers but so far no takers.
Today we took him out to the field and he popped over his first jumps. He just was so easy as we expected. Makes such a cute shape. Just treats everything like it is no big deal. I haven't seen this horse put a foot wrong so far. I think he gives confidence because he is so naturally good in the bridle with a good balance. He doesn't pull or get heavy. He just maintains easily.
He had his first jump introduction in the ring and at first he was unsure but his unsure is more of a slow roll where he is like what is the question? Then he figured it out and was jumping around all the fillers just as cute as can be. I really like him for those who want something with a smoother jump that perhaps isn't quite as athletic/intimidating. He just jumps quiet and canters away.
He is barefoot. Sound. No injuries. No vices. Excellent in turnout, in the barn, etc. Great for shipping, cross ties, the farrier, baths and all that good stuff.
He is just a very laid back type of horse that I really think will make such an easy horse for anyone to bring along.

I really like him for those who want something with a smoother jump that perhaps isn't quite as athletic/intimidating. He just jumps quiet and canters away.
He is barefoot. Sound. No injuries. No vices. Excellent in turnout, in the barn, etc. Great for shipping, cross ties, the farrier, baths and all that good stuff.
He is just a very laid back type of horse that I really think will make such an easy horse for anyone to bring along.

Electromagnetic- 16.1 h 4yr gelding sired by Protontico (giants causeway) out of a Unbridled Song mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/electromagnetic3
This gorgeous boy showed no talent in his four starts. He retired sound with no injuries and no vices.
I was immediately smitten with him because he is my favorite color with my favorite face markings but he is more than just a pretty face.
He stands quietly in the barn alone to be tacked. Good at the mounting block. Casually strolls around the ring. He makes such a cute shape in the bridle and rides quite uphill. He is very easy to put your leg on and ride up. More of a whoa type of ride for sure but not dead lazy. I think he just has such an amazing canter! That canter of course leads to a great jump. He also hacks quietly around the field and has popped over a xc jump. We had a few rides on him and then he got an abscess in his right hind that needed some nursing. He has since gotten over that and is now starting to learn to jump and my gosh can he jump! He has now done his 2nd session and he really just blew us away with how brave and willing he was over our scary fillers. He has tons of scope and really uses his body so well.
Eli is just super in the barn, turnout and everything in between. He is a barn favorite with his cute face and hilarious personality.
