Horses for Sale

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.

Tricky Treat- 16.3 h 4yr mare sired by With Distinction https://www.pedigreequery.com/tricky+treat2. I bought Tricky off the track as a 2yr. She raced twice and was retired sound, no injuries and was just slow. She was purchased to be a riding horse and life circumstances changed for her very caring owner so I purchased her back. She is sound, currently barefoot and probably a solid 1300lbs. This girl is thick! Talk about a booty but nice feet, bone and body. I think she is a hunter type and always was in my opinion. We did ride her here as a 2yr and she was lovely with a great brain. She came from an excellent trainer/program at the track. I am sure it won't take us long to get her going again. She will get some shoes on this week and start back. Look how cute she jumped! Better pictures coming but the flies were very bad today and nobody wanted to stand nicely.

Dover Lights- 16.2 h 3yr sired by Tekton (Bernadini/Not for Love) out of a Tiznow mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/dover+lights2 I love everything in this horses pedigree and he doesn't disappoint. He is lightly raced (4x) retired sound with no injuries and has no vices. Excellent feet. He comes from an excellent trainer and it shows. If you missed out on Cross Check you are going to want to move fast on this one because he is just as nice. So quiet and sweet in the barn! Perfect manners. Stood quietly in crossties during a total chaos day for the farrier. Great to be tacked up. Perfect at the mounting block. It was gross and rainy yesterday for his first ride but he was perfect. He makes a lovely natural shape and really started to let go and come through his back and he went. Beautiful mover! Great canter. One of those canters you could ride all day. The type you can ride on the buckle or ride on the contact. Just naturally balanced and soft. His brain seriously can't be beat. He has been perfect since he arrived here. Nothing but class. He is a big horse for a 3yr and still growing so I do suspect he will finish around 17h. He is super sweet with such a nice personality.

Katie's Cruise- 16h and rapidly growing 3yr filly sired by Bodemeister https://www.pedigreequery.com/katies+cruise Katie just arrived late last night from New Orleans. What a gorgeous girl! She is so sweet and easy going. She had a long trip and right now is getting a chance to relax but we brought her out this morning to stretch her legs. She was a $50k yearling but showed no potential as a runner. Retired sound, clean legs and has no vices. She just got her feet done later this morning which she needed. She has been wonderful in the barn for everything thrown at her since arrival.

Justacallaway- 15.3 h yr gelding sired by Seville https://www.pedigreequery.com/justacallaway Seville is one of my favorite sires and honestly I don't even need to see video of these horses to know that I want them in my barn. They all can move, jump and are just so fun and rideable. Just was a homebred with only four starts. He retired sound, no injuries and no vices. He is currently barefoot. I would say that like most of the horses by this sire they enjoy having jobs. I think they are ammy friendly but not the ride once a week types. They have big engines are more forward thinking but brave and bold types. They want to do the job and want to please but are a bit more sensitive. I love the movement on him. Lovely over tracking walk, great hind leg and I love how the hind leg pushes the neck up. He is going just get better and better. It was cold and gross out so we threw him on the lunge before popping on but he lunges and was very sensible about everything. He can have a look at things but nothing silly. The 30 degree weather change is a great test of how rideable and how the brains are on these horses :)

Cross Check- 16.3 3yr sired by Nyquist out of a AP Indy mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/cross+check4 This horse is just one of those horses you meet and immediately know he is special. We talk about brains and how important they are but also the program they come from matters a ton. He is from Godolphin racing and everything has just been done right. His brain, manners, way of going and everything is that of a horse way beyond his years. He is so kind, sweet and just mannerly for being so giant for his age. Stood sleeping to be tacked up. Perfect at the mounting block. Just strolled around like he had been here forever. He went from the walk into one of the nicest canters you will see on a giant 3yr. Stacy Iacono Willson didn't want to stop cantering him :) Just a very soft way of going. Super kind and easy. Trotted over some poles and a little flower box like he had done it forever. Just a really lovely horse in all aspects. Sound, no injuries and no vices.

Sea Serenade- 6yr 16.1 h mare sired by Henrythenavigator https://www.pedigreequery.com/sea+serenade4 Check out the breeding on this mare! I am a huge fan of Kingmambo and you got Sadlers Well and Galileo in there not to mention lots of others that are well known for sport. I am convinced you can find some super cool horses just hanging in fields in KY. This year has been my year of just saying yes. I don't mind a field kept horse and actually really love the process of making them shine. This girl is a black beauty. I can't believe she is still this dark in her coat having been hanging out in the field. She has the sweetest face and such a kind eye. Right now she is absolutely dying on her feet and in desperate need of some shoes so not video but her conformation is lovely. She got the spa day deluxe and is feeling like a new woman. Amanda Siegel Halley and I think this one has something special so it is going to be fun to see her come along. She is lightly raced and has been off the track for over a year. Clean legs. No injuries. No vices. She now has some shoes on and is feeling much better but probably needs another week to really feel 100%.

Master Volume- 16.2 h 4yr gelding sired by Tidal Volume https://www.pedigreequery.com/master+volume This lovely horse had just raced and then shipped to KY and then here to my farm in Delaware. He was super happy to get out and stretch his legs this morning now that it finally cooled off a bit. He retired sound with no injuries and has no vices. Nice big horse with good feet and nice bone. We will be getting riding video soon.

Gun of Glory- 16.1 h 4yr sired by Tizway https://www.pedigreequery.com/gun+of+glory Glory also arrived early this morning after a long trip up from FL. He had raced just a few days ago but arrived looking fantastic. He retired sound, clean legs and has no vices. I am a big fan of this sire as I find they are ammy friendly types but also fancy. They always need a few days to loosen up after the long trip but what a nice mover. He was already relaxed enough to take a long nap in his stall. He is really a kind horse. I am looking forward to getting to know him.
