Chunky Monkey is a big, solid girl who can handle any discipline. This fully
broke quarter horse-type mare is suitable for western work, gymkhana, English
riding, jumping, fun on the trails, and is a dream bareback. She can be taken in
any direction you choose and trained to excel. She stands approximately 15
hands and at age 4-5, she has growing yet to do. Completely sound with no
health issues, she's been trained in Clinton Anderson's Method - Fundamentals,
Trails, Hobbling, Colt Starting, and Trailering. Tarp, Bag. No Spook. Great with
other horses and the farrier. Amazing mind! She would prefer a more
experienced rider to reach her full potential and would like her very own person
to depend on and grow together.. She wants to be loved! Our trainers also say
she has the smoothest gaits of any horse they've ridden. This one is a real
beauty! Good, solid home only. Adoption fee: $3,800
ADOPTED!!!!
Mickey is a 16-month old mustang gelding fully trained in
Clinton Anderson's Colt Starting and Fundamentals Groundwork. He's fine with the bareback pad, trails, hobbling, trailering, stands for the farrier, great with kids. Bombproof! (Tarp, Bag, etc.) He's too young yet to bear a rider, so will need riding training when old enough. NO behavioral issues, and great with ANY horse. This little guy (who will probably end up around 15 hands) will make a great addition to any barn as he is friendly, willing, and loves to learn. Mustangs make excellent all-around horses when they're trained up right, from the beginning. This one has been trained right! They don't get much better than Mickey.
**ADOPTED to a wonderful home**
Cookie Cutter is a 7-yo, fully trained, foundation-bred quarter
horse mare out of IA Pines Ransom AQHA Reg #3597873 and
Final Opinion AQHA Reg #5260179. She is in the process of
being registered with the AQHA herself right now. Because
she is so sweet and is a people-lover, we adopted her after her
initial training thinking she would make a great kids horse. But
since then, she's found her feet and has been telling us that
she'd like to be a working horse. She'd make an amazing cutting
horse (she was "cutting" our little dogs on her own the other
day!), or other kind of cow horse. She has the moves! She could
also be trained for gymkhana. She continues to love people and
adores attention, but we've realized that we need to do what's
best for her and find her a home where she can excel in a
discipline she loves. Adoption fee: $4,800

Pick Pocket is a 2-year-old mustang gelding newly started in Clinton Anderson's Colt Training. He is smart, friendly, curious, and a very fast learner. He learned to be haltered and led in his first half-hour session! This guy's going to want to be a people-horse and from what we've seen so far, he'll be able to learn anything and will be willing and wanting to please the person he calls his own. We will continue to train him in all fundamentals until he finds a person to love and adopt him. Mustangs make the best all around horses when they're given a good start. This one is getting a great start and will make an amazing partner for someone who wants it all in a horse. Adoption fee: $2,400 |
