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.

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.

​​Sally O'Prado- 9yr 16.2+ h mare sired by Paddy O Prado out of a Polish Numbers mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/sally+oprado Sally ran 64x and made $208k. Her legs look so clean! No injuries and no vices. She is a very big bodied tank of a mare. Big chest, nice hip and good bone. Sally is a horse that just gets notice. Every person who has been on my farm is like who is that??? We walked her in for the farrier and he was just like WOW! She is stunning and just more beautiful than my pictures can even capture.

She stands so nicely in the wash stall, crossties, grooming, mane pulling etc. Ships like a pro. She just floated so beautifully around the ring. I have always loved the Paddy O'Prado offspring. They make amazing eventers. I love the way this mare is put together.

Sally got the weekend to just take in the scenery on the farm. She has been very well mannered and relaxed both in her stall and in turnout. The morning of her first ride it was freezing cold in the 20's...great time for a first ride :) Stacy let her go in the free area for 5min just to warm up a little bit because it almost seemed unfair to pull them out when it had drastically changed temperatures.

Sally stood quietly to be tacked. Walked out to the ring quietly. Great at the mounting block. I don't think people already realize that what you see in the video is pretty much our entire ride. This horse walked out and was just this relaxed. At first she was just allowed to go around as she wanted very natural. She is a horse that just carries her head in a gorgeous position because she is put together so nicely. What I LOVE is that war horses have been there and done that. It's such a busy ring with so much to see and her she rides around on the buckle just like a horse that has been doing it for years which she has been truthfully. We don't give these horses enough credit and that is why to me these older horses should be so valued. The natural balance and rhythm on this mare is something you can't teach.

Stacy then asked her to be just a little bit in a shape but still stretchy and honestly I think she looks like a horse that could go in the dressage ring and win but also could do extremely well in the hunters. Finding horses that naturally want to go like this is what hunters are hoping for and she is that. She just makes the shape on her own. She was a little harder to bend to the right but also really allowed you to ride into her and ask a lot of things of her without getting worried. She gave some really nice moments when she opened up her right side and if you can get that in one ride then you know it will be easy going forward.

The canter is one of those that you can just drop the reins and it never changes. She isn't strong and she just has such a nice lovely balance on her own.

She is a lovely mover but also one that is smooth enough to make you feel comfortable. Her brain can't be beat. I suspect she is just a horse that everything will come easy to which is why people seek out these bloodlines. It always excites me to see a horse like this so relaxed and loose in their body after 60+ races. Mad respect for these amazing athletes and the people that keep them so well kept. When you look at her she looks like she could step in the show ring tomorrow.

For her 2nd post track Sally went out to the xc field and jumped her first few jumps. This was after she stood in the barn this morning getting hot shod like a perfect angel! She was just as relaxed and quiet in the field as she was in the ring. What you see is what you get with this mare.

She wasn't really sure of the jumps but in all honesty for a first jump introduction all I want to see is that they try and boy does she try. She trotted and cantered a few jumps and went right over the horse eating scary black pipe. I suspect people will just really find this mare relaxing and comfortable to ride. She's a no drama kind of mare.

If you are a rider that wants to event and really wants a horse that takes you to the jumps, then I highly recommend you take a look at this horse. We bring along 200 horses a year here off the track and one thing I always say is that there are certain horses that just tell you they will very easily go up the levels. I don't say all my horses are upper level horses but there are horses that I am pretty darn positive have the qualities to be successful at that level with the right program. This mare absolutely jumps the jumps like she has been doing it forever. There is nothing quite like sitting on a horse that despite being green just finds the jumps as easily as this mare already does. You know it when you see it and this is it! You will not be afraid going to the jumps sitting on a horse like this. I realize she has jumped twice but again this mare has jumped twice and I think she would jump a house if we pointed her at it. She doesn't blink at anything and she just jumps in this shape that makes you absolutely grin. She has the balance you just hope to find in an event horse.

Da Due Run Run is a 7yr mare 16.1+ h sired by Due Date (El Prado) https://www.pedigreequery.com/da+due+run+run Due Date is well known for producing very talented event horses and I also loved the bottom line on this mare. You will see quite a bunch of Due Date bred horses successful past prelim and there is a reason for that! She made around $139k on the track. Reported to be retiring sound with no injuries and she has no vices.

I think this mare is stunning but she is built more like that old school type of TB. Break out the horse size bridle for her big old head. She has some giant ears too which I love. She is a snuggly type and has been extremely well mannered so far for shipping, baths, grooming, etc.

There is something about her that makes her look really big but she just rides/moves big. She is just an extremely uphill type of horse with an active hind leg that needs a little bit of direction on where to put all the parts. She has just such a lovely canter and super balance. She is uphill and very light in the bridle. Horses like this can be a bit tough to connect into that stretch but it comes with time. I always look for the walk and the canter. Her trot is super lovely with a great hind leg and there were moments when she really let go in the back and it was just so nice. I will say that she will intimidate you with her power/big movement so if you are looking for something that is more of an underpowered type she isn't that. She is going to go forward. She will take you to the jumps. She is brave, bold and powerful. You are only going to get glimpses of what is to come but you are looking for the rideablity, temperament and talent. She is extremely rideable, smart, willing and talented but for someone who knows where to put all the power. I really hope we get a chance to get her out to a trip off the farm to xc school but her price will increase. I think this one is something special. Does have clean set of ankle xrays on file.

​​Chestnut Lime- 7yr 16.2+ h gelding sired by Limehouse https://www.pedigreequery.com/chestnut+lime I have always loved Limehouse offspring. They do tend to have the "white eye" but they tend to be big quiet sweet types that are very ammy friendly.

Lime was a decent race horse but they said he just always did little dumb non racing related injuries as evident by a few scars that he has and a little piece he chipped off in his front ankle. I xrayed it and it is not career limiting at all as the joint is not involved but it has a big lump. His xrays are in his photo album.

Lime has been so fun in the barn. He has a large personality and is so sweet. He has been great to ship, groom, clip, stands quietly in the cross ties, happy inside or outside, etc.

He is a very big bodied type of horse with big bone/big body. He just got his feet done after his pictures and we pulled his hind shoes.

We were able to get his first ride done and I was pretty shocked at the change that happened in just a 10 min ride. This horse has an absolutely lovely uphill balanced canter. He wasn't quite sure how to really go forward and stretch in the trot but by the end he was putting it all together which is so cool to see. He was so willing to try anything she was asking of him and even when he was confused he was extremely rideable which is always what matters the most to me. He is very quiet and sensible. The type that you can really put your leg on and ride down. He is built so uphill that he really wasn't quite sure he could stretch and go down but I think once he realized it felt good he was loving it. I can't wait to see his second ride because once they figure it out they change so much. Their stride looks so different as they learn to move out from the shoulder and not so up and down.

On this 2nd ride he came out right as the wind really started picking up and blew over the jumps. He kept it together but thought he was getting attacked :) It was gusting so hard at times but he isn't a spooky type of horse. I would say he came out a bit "up" but his version of up is wanting to canter and honestly with a horse like him you use that canter as much as you can. He has a gorgeous soft balanced canter. He isn't strong, doesn't pull and doesn't get quick so allowing him to really stretch his body in the canter helps him open up the trot. The older horses coming off this track are always a bit tight in the body. It is normal and just takes some time for them to loose enough to find that trot but he has a nice one in there. He tries really hard to do exactly what is asked of him. He makes such a nice shape and once he figures out how to push and let go it will be amazing!

What I always say about the Limehouse horses that I have had is that they have a great jump because of that canter and he looks to have the same. I think he is will be really easy to bring along.

He retired sound and has no vices.

​​If you see any fist fights happening at Benchmark it's probably over who gets to ride this horse :) He is just that nice and we are just getting started. Horses like him make you excited to get up every day.

Tego- 4yr 16h gelding sired by Treasure Beach out of a Honour and Glory mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/tego This lovely horse only had a few starts and was not cut out to be a runner. When he came to us he had just run the day prior to arriving. I had been following him as soon as I knew he was coming to another sellers farm because I am a huge fan of Treasure Beach offspring. I have had so many that I just love and I knew I wanted this horse :) I ran over to see him and he was just so lovely.

He is just a lovely short backed horse with a super shoulder, great hind leg and lovely way of going. He has the movement, looks and the brain. He just floated around the free ring upon arrival and had the treasure beach canter that I love so much.

He is absolutely lovely to work around. He was picked up around 10pm in the dark and loaded up like a champ. Settled in here great. Has been excellent in cross ties, grooming, baths, clipping, etc. He has a hilarious personality and is just so funny.

Not only does he just have a super nice trot but the canter is just lovely as well. The canter on this horse is just so incredible. The hind leg and reach with the hind leg! The way his neck comes out of the shoulder makes him so good over his back. The hind leg is just exactly what I hope to find. He was really letting her put her leg on and ride him forward out and out to the rein. She kept saying how light and soft he felt when he got it. We don't always sit the canter on the first ride but on this horse the hind leg is just right there and you can already sit and balance it up.

He was very brave about all the jumps along the side of the ring and very willing to do anything asked of him. I do think he is a horse with a bit more motor. Doesn't seem silly about it but not going to stand completely still just yet. He wants to work and do a job.

We introduced him to some poles and baby jumps on his 2nd ride and lord he is going to have a jump on him. He is such a quick thinker but sometimes overthinks so we are trying to make it very quiet and basic right now. He is just an overachiever where you need to take the time to put the foundation on him. He is just always thinking how far..how fast..what is next. Love that but also important to develop that properly.

I don't say every horse is an upper level type but I do believe this one is with the right rider. He is got the movement, conformation, braveness and all the ability to do the job. He is so fun to ride.

He is sound, no injuries and has no vices.

​Speak to Me- 6yr 16h mare sired by Mr. Speaker out of Harlan's Holiday mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/speak+to+me5 She raced 15x and made around $90k. She last raced in August of 2022. She had a small shin fracture (left front) which has healed and is a non-issue for sport. She has been let down and just hanging out being a horse since. She was at my friends farm in KY living out with some other mares. She loved her turnout time!

When she arrived she was barefoot and so sore on her feet. My amazing farrier came and got her fixed up and she was extremely thankful to have some shoes back on. Some horses just prefer shoes.

She has just been excellent to ship. Great in the cross ties. Perfect for hot shoes. Super easy to handle. Very nice to work with overall. Due to her sore feet we just let her adjust to her shoes and today was the first glimpse of her moving and my gosh we stood there going well okay um this is not what we expected. She looks like this cute little package and then she bam moves like a freak! This girl has some extension and honestly that is why I love the Mr. Speaker offspring that I have had. They are have been very athletic, good movers, brave, good jumpers and the list goes on.

We got to do her first ride and my gosh she is just adorable! I figured she was going to be one that needs to learn to stretch but she was trying to hard and has some really good moments. I love that even when she doesn't quite know she will try anything for you. She is more whoa than go but we were really asking her to come forward a bit to encourage her to let go of that back. We will do some lunging with her and start to remuscle her. She is brave and confident. Lovely canter!

She is sound. No vices. Does have the blemish on the shin but very minor profile at this point.

​Wicked Alex- 16.1 h 5yr gelding sired by Wicked Strong out of a pioneerof the nile mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/wicked+alex I really like the Wicked Strong offspring. Alex had an incident of sorts trailering home. Ian just felt commotion and was on the interstate so had to get to a place to get off. Alex was down on the floor in the middle of the trailer and chest bar was still attached so not sure if he went over or what exactly happened. Horses do some bizarre things. He shipped from LA to KY no problems and is generally a super shipper. We have let him heal up and all his cuts look very good minus one on his back under the saddle. His rides have been very limited because it tends to rub the scab off.

We all LOVE Alex. He has a huge huge personality in the barn. He is so lovely to work around. He has been a quick learner picking up lunging very quickly while his cuts were healing. This horse is one that everyone has loved riding. Very good mover and honestly as his body heals up he is just going to get nicer. He has such nice suspension and really uses his body well. His canter is so nice. He has been one that is just very reliable to ride no matter the weather, how long since he was last ridden or what chaos is happening on the farm.

Grunder's Call- 4yr 16.2 h gelding sired by Overanalyze out of a Purge mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/grunders+call I have loved every single Overanalyze horse to come through my barn. They have the brains, movement and jump we hope to find. They have exceled as event horses as they take to xc so easily.

A friend sent this one to me saying I think this is your type :) Lol..yes absolutely yes. I was a little worried about it simply because he was over my budget and I knew shipping would be pricey but I liked him that much. He raced 10x and retired sound with no vices. He is a bit thin but he also shipped from Miami to Delaware which tends to take a lot out of them. He is eating like a champ and starting to relax his body a bit.

I LOVE the shoulder on this horse and the overall way he is put together. We brought him out today for his first ride and good lord was he just lovely. I felt good about my purchase after watching him :) He is just everything I hoped. Such a lovely uphill mover with a very nice hind leg. So much reach through his body. That canter! That right there is why I love an overanalyze horse. Considering his long trip, I thought he was just extremely impressive.

We have since done a little lunging with him to teach him to stretch and did a second ride which I thought was even better than the first. The canter on this horse is just so nice.

He has been wonderful to ship. Great in the barn. Cross ties, baths, mane pulling, etc. Has been lovely to handle. Clean xrays of right front ankle.

Sacco and Vanzetti- 7yr 16.1 h tb gelding sired by Will Take Charge https://www.pedigreequery.com/sacco+and+vanzetti Sacco has now been off the track for a year. He retired sound, no injuries and has no vices. He was vetted a year ago with clean films. He also has feet that make my farrier very happy :)

Sacco has been back with us for three months now and when I say this is one of the favorite horses in our barn it is because everyone loves riding him. I think when you ride so many green horses it is just nice to get on a horse that goes to work and does their job. Sacco is one of those horses that makes you feel like flatwork is fun. He LOVES flatwork and as he has gained weight/muscle he is just developing so nicely over his topline. He is super soft in his mouth and one of those horses you can just take a nice feel, add leg and he makes a super shape in the bridle without doing much on the riders part.

While he is still a bit green to jump, this horse is just the ultimate go have fun kind of horse to the jumps. He just LOVES to jump and we love jumping him. It's kind of hard for us to just not jump him because he is really fun especially when you have a lot of greenies. He is green but the type that just always wants to get to the other side for you. He is learning to canter courses. He does he changes naturally and when asked. He jumps confidently over scary fillers.

He has now jumped out xc twice and is just so much fun it's hard to stop going on him. He just gets better every single time you ride him and he remembers everything you teach him from the previous rides. He has learned that he really thinks XC is a blast and he is getting that cocky confidence that I love to see.

Sacco will hack all around. He is not a spooky horse and is quite brave. Honestly, he has never put a foot wrong with us and we have put him in every situation. When you ask him for more he always give it to you. He is very trusting when going out and about looking to his rider for guidance.

Sacco is always the same horse regardless of how often he is ridden, 40mph winds, snowing, etc. He has been excellent with all styles of riders at our barn. He has no buddy drama. He is happy inside or outside. He ships, clips, cross ties and everything in between. He loves treats and all things food related. He hasn't met anyone he doesn't love. He has a large personality. He goes out in a big field with my personal horse. He is always respectful and easy to handle.

Double Dot- 5yr 16 h mare sired by Big Blue Kitten (kittens joy) out of a Tiznow mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/double+dot4 This is now the 3rd horse I have had by this sire and I am telling you this horse really throws horses that I love. Then you add some Tiznow on the bottom and it is about my perfect combo. I was saying that so far the three I have had by this sire have had quite a lot of starts for their age and they are the soundest cleanest horses. This lovely mare ran 35 times and looks pristine. She has no injuries or vices. Excellent feet.

Dottie is simply stunning in person. Extremely pretty head. Gorgeous eye. Forelock that I love. Just put together so well. Nice shoulder and neck connection with a short back and good hind end.

She has been with us now for about 2 months and hasn't had much interest but to be honest we have found that Dottie doesn't love horse shoppers :) I have found that sometimes sensitive mares just get a case of stranger danger but it has proven to be a wee bit embarrassing because she seems to unravel rather quickly yet for us she goes so well. Horses.....they all have their own personality and better to know what they like than try to make them something they are not.

Dottie is an extremely athletic catty type of mare. She is forward thinking and sensitive. Not hot, not spooky and never dangerous but she really is the type that will do anything for the right rider and then get really pissed off with the wrong rider. She will jump anything you point her at. She is brave and that bit of cocky that I love but once again not everyone loves that. I think when you know how to ride her you just love her but it may not happen on the first ride. She does her changes pretty much automatically. We have only jumped her a few times but boy does she dig it. This mare is seriously going to kick butt in the jumpers or eventing.

This latest jump video from today (2/16) is really only her 4th time jumping and she was just so game. Amanda was a little green in the face when I put the jumps up but some horses can handle it and they really rocked it. This mare can turn on a dime and is just seriously so darn fun. She is this brave with everything I have seen her do so I think jumpers/eventing is right up her alley.

We have been taking our time. Amanda Halley has been putting so much work with her. We wanted to really get all the flatwork going the right direction. She really has just figured out how to find the balance in the canter. We have also been working to see what bits she likes the best. She really loved this fager eggbutt we tried on her today. She likes what she likes and if you are the kind of rider that digs the process than you will love her as much as we do!

I personally think this mare is quite fancy and most people that have competitive goals would love her. She isn't the kind of mare that wants to go on a loose rein though and you need to have a good seat and good concept of riding from your seat/leg/half halts and not off your hand. If you grab and pull she will get quick. If you can use your seat and be soft she goes just as well as you ride her.

We have had some of best rides on her in this last week so it is just getting good! Hoping to show off some more jumping tomorrow. A xc school hopefully in the future.
