Below is a few of our sold horses throughout the years!
Waltzing on broadway ”WAlter”
Walter was a homebred out of Marley who we kept around for friends to ride and trail riding. He has always held a soft spot in our hearts, so we debated selling him even though nobody had time to consistently ride him. When it seemed apparent that Walter needed a full time job and his own person, we gifted him to a good friend of ours named Barrett. Since then, Barrett and Walter have been active members of the Mission Valley Hunt and we look forward to seeing them take the eventing scene by storm in 2023!
“Marley”
Marley was a family horse that we kept around as a broodmare and to take friends on trail rides. She was not initially for sale but when we were contacted by a family friend looking for a first horse for their daughter, Marley checked all the boxes. She has her very own little girl and is spoiled rotten daily… just what we could hope for with such a sweet mare!
Bust A move “Winnie”
Winnie was a fancy, athletic, yet sensitive mare that always needed to find “her” person. Ava came along and instantly she and Winnie clicked. We were so thrilled that Winnie was able to stay local and have thoroughly enjoyed watching these two getting to know each other the last 2 years. They are a force to be reckoned with in 2020!
“Moose” & “Nugget”
Moose was a young, tall gangly thoroughbred when the Polowniak family purchased him and Nugget from us in 2015 for their two young daughters. While Nugget ended moving on to a different family, Moose stayed in the family and has really flourished on the jumper circuit the last few years!
“Costa”
Costa was a young off the track thoroughbred that we acquired as a three year old the same day that we got Huey. He was purchased as a sales horse and very quickly developed under saddle before being sold to a wonderful woman as a Hunter/Jumper prospect. Costa showed his calling in hunter/jumpers and when his owner decided to change her focus to dressage, she sold him to a young teen that continues to show him successfully on the ‘A’ circuit.
“Cinnamon”
Cinnamon was a young, sweet gentle quarter horse mare that we sold to an older woman in the Flint Hills as a companion horse for her older horse, and to trail ride around on. Cinnamon was a true genuine soul and I wish we kept her every day!
Renegade “Reggie”
Reggie or “Speed Away” as he was registered with the jockey club, was an off the track purchase of Lauren’s. He was developed by Lauren to training level eventing before he developed a distaste for jumping into the water, and subsequently started stopping. However, his obvious scope and speed made him a perfect candidate for the jumpers, and Lauren found the perfect pilot in Shelby Doria. Shelby and Reggie went on to compete very successful in the 3’6″ Ch/Ad jumpers, winning many TIP awards along the way. Shelby sold Reggie to an adult amateur that competes him at the 3′ jumpers prior to going away for college.
Storm warning “luna”
Luna was a young, grey thoroughbred mare sourced by Lauren. She was on track to be a successful event horse, finishing on her dressage score at her first recognized event in the fall of 2012. However, during the off-season, she got a bacteria in her left eye and within 24 hours had gone blind. Thankfully, since the bacteria was caught so quickly, we were able to save her eye. However, we felt a softer arena lifestyle was more suited for her, and she was sold to a young girl who went on to compete her in the hunter/jumpers very successfully through her high school career, before joining the military and retiring her.
Pig tails & ink wells “inka”
Inka was a young mare that we took on when her owner and our family friend could not afford to care for her after family problems. We happily took her in and used her as a trail horse for friends for many years. She also went to many cross country schoolings before we sold her as a lesson horse to a local hunter/jumper barn. She went on to compete in the 2’6″ hunters with young kids until 2016, when she unexpectedly passed after getting kicked by a pasture mate.
Flip the cards “Flipper”
Flipper was Mallory’s very first OTTB, given to her for $300 by a family friend who owned many grand prix horses, which Mallory paid for using her garage sale money in elementary school. Flipper was her first taste at riding a sensitive OTTB, and taught her a lot about restarting, patience, and empathy towards horses. Flipper went on to live with an older man in 2010, who used her for occasional jumping, trail riding and leisure.
