Training Rides

Presenting the horse to prospective buyers

Presenting the horse to prospective buyers

When it comes to training, each horse needs something a little different. Our flexible program provides the correct number and type of rides for your horse (3, 4, 5 a week? grids? field hacks? XC schooling? basic stadium work? etc) to help set them up for success and find them find that perfect home.

Presenting the horse to prospective buyers

We are always happy to present horses to prospective buyers. For the benefit of the horse and the human, buyers are carefully "vetted" to be sure that they would be a good match with the horses they get on. Aubrey does the demo ride and if the horse seems appropriate, she will teach an abridged lesson /work with their trainer to provide a positive experience and show the horse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at aubreygraham@gmail.com / 404-509-4655 if you cannot find an answer to your question below

You are welcome to come try horses here or to purchase remotely. In both cases, I will do my best to ensure that any horse you wish to purchase or try is a good fit. Please expect that I may request videos or inquire about your background as a rider / with training OTTBs. There are no offsite trials. **Making a good match that makes rider and horse happy is my first goal.** That means that if you're not the right fit for the horse, I reserve the right to let you know that - I will not sell a horse to a home that does not make sense given what I know about them and their needs.


To try horses here a (refundable upon purchase) payment of $100 must be sent to Aubrey at least 24-hours before the trial to hold your slot. (*This is not a scam - I just got tired of folks wasting my time and not doing their due diligence before coming out - aka tire kicking, booking a ride and bailing day-of, or of not checking with a trainer/bank/husband first, etc.) You're welcome to try any suitable horse(s) that is(are) for sale for that one-time fee, but time slots are booked ahead of time, so please plan accordingly. Each horse takes around 45-min to an hour to discuss and trial ride. *If you choose to come back to try the horse again, that will be charged like a lesson (100$) and will not be refundable. 


For each horse, we will use my tack which is already fitted to the horse. Feel free to bring your stirrups and leathers though as I'm tall and we often have to roll them for shorter riders. Generally I will hop on first and show you the horse through the flat and fences (if applicable). You have a choice to hop on or pass at that point, and we'll go from there. Please expect that I will coach you through the ride, especially on the greener Thoroughbreds. 


Once you have decided that you wish to purchase a horse, you have the option of setting up a PPE. The PPE must occur within one week - if for any reason it takes longer than that, there will be a nonrefundable (but can go to the purchase price) deposit of $500 to hold the horse as pending for up to one week additional.


There are quire a few vets in the Ithaca area and you're welcome to coordinate with any of them so long as they're able to arrive when I am also present (schedule coordinating required). Fingerlakes Equine and Early Winter Equine are a few nearby. The horse will still be shown to potential buyers during this time, though it will not be sold out from under you if a PPE has been scheduled and confirmed. 


After the PPE, you will have a business day to discuss findings with your vet and confirm your desire to purchase or pass. 


If you choose to purchase, a bill of sale will be drawn up and payment must be sent and received before the horse is transferred from the farm. Venmo, Zelle, and Bank Transfers / Cashiers Check are all fine. 


Once the horse is sold, I will happily assist in setting up shipping. Temporary board begins the day after the bill of sale is signed and will be prorated to 30$ a day. The horse will continue to be fed and cared for as usual until pickup. At this point, I will no longer be riding the horse, unless a training ride package is discussed and agreed upon. 


While I would love for new owners to visit their horses before shipping, this must be scheduled and will be limited as this is a training facility, not a boarding barn. The goal is to get them to you and settled in as soon as possible. 


And from there, it's all the fun of training and riding and caring for the new horse. BUT if you run into trouble, or just want to share the joy and excitement of bringing them along, I'll be there to help, take a look at videos, and make suggestions. In some more extensive cases, lesson fees may apply, but I will do everything I can to help out (and celebrate successes) as you go forward.

RRP Eligible 


Gandy Dancing is an exceptionally classy warhorse (65 starts) who has held his own in the races since he was started running as a three year old. With bloodlines from Flatter and Forest Wildcat, this horse is built for sport. He has the movement and the heart to go as far as you'd like to take him.


Gandy's first ride was impressive. Once he figured out that the outside rein was there to support him, he softened over his back and showed off his even, balanced gaits. He is fancy, classy and going to turn heads in any arena. He was easy to mount and ride around, but he's not really an easy-going ammie ride right now - he's smart and needs a ride that will push him to be better, do more. Cookies are nice but serious work and a meaningful job is better.


Video of his first post-track ride here:https://youtu.be/4rrXNd2Ryiw?si=5Ts00rh60MA7hi5P


Gandy is kind, mind mannered, but also knows who he is and how good he was. There's a big of an ego - he has certainly earned it. But it is understated. He doesn't walk into a room and make loud noises until everyone looks at him, he just walks in and everyone looks because that's how it works.


Gandy's track trainer hemmed and hawed about sending him on to run at Charles Town as the horse is still very sound and has a lot more running he could do. Somehow we lucked out and he sent Gandy to us, where we get to set this horse up for a second career.


Some warhorses come off the track needing a soft landing and long afternoons of grooming in the sun. Gandy needs a job. His track connections were right about a lot of things, including how much go there is left in those legs. He's not hot or up at all. But he has the quiet impressive confidence that makes these horse forces of nature. He's not for a first time restarter. And I'd really rather see him land in a home that wants to go up the levels in eventing or jumpers or lead the hunt rather than a weekend warrior situation or light riding home.


Gandy is great on the crossties, in the wash rack, and in his stall. He's doing well figuring out turnout, and is overall just a lovely creature to have in the barn.


Gandy is offered at 8000 to the right home. Trial fees and information described above apply.

Westley (Beachside) 15.3-16h 2016 OTTB Gelding w/ Giants Causeway and Tiznow lines

Westley is kind, quirky and absolutely the type of Thoroughbred that I love to figure out. When I ride this one, I spend the majority of the ride laughing.


I'm not laughing because he's bad. I'm laughing because he's smart. And he's easily bored. He has found that it is easier to try to do all sorts of goofy things to try to distract from the ride at hand - but he's very quickly realizing that this is fun. And the ride isn't something that needs sparkle and additional flare. To be really clear - he's not doing anything bad. He's just way too smart for "go slow" and has decided that this off-track life is boring. Transitions are boring. Circles are boring. I get it. Oh buddy, I get it. 


But using his body correctly isn't boring. He's starting to realize that there's pride in that, power in that. Give me two weeks and all the pizazz and goofiness he puts into his ride now will be transferred into flicking toes, consistency in the bridle as he comes over his back, and enthusiasm over fences. (This kid is going to be able to JUMP).


First Ride at Kivu: https://youtu.be/BdbyLU1Oirk?si=Zwgae2hPPgIqNOmI

Because let's talk about his breeding. Giants Causeway (sire side) and Tiznow (Dam side). Westley is one well-bred kiddo. And when I say that, I mean that this horse was bred to be fast. It is no surprise that the ran 52 times and probably still had more in the tank. 


More than that though, neither of those bloodlines are known for being particularly amateur-friendly or easy to get right. They're talented, capable, and kind yes, but also highly opinionated, sometimes fractious, powerful and often come with a horse version of ADHD. 


I have worked with ample examples on both sides, but everyone involved with this horse realizes that maybe the combination was not the best fit for a junior rider doing one of their first OTTB restarts without a trainer. 


Said junior rider is a lovely rider, but it just wasn't a match either for her, her family who really would love a quiet in your pocket horse they can snuggle, not the "I need a stimulating job, like yesterday" kid they had. He also wasn't a fit for the laid back, older amateur-riding boarding barn, where he was just across the board misunderstood. 


Westley retired in 2023, hung out with a mostly-non-riding adult for a while and got fat and happy in a field. Then he transferred to the good-riding junior and was restarted. He rode in arenas, hacked around the property and had a good effort made at getting him going. That said, he's still quite green and has a lot to learn (but that part isn't going to be a problem, this one wants all the info you can give him). 


I had a chance to ride and assess Westley at that barn and that was super helpful to understanding him. I walked him into my shed row stalls that I run somewhat like the backside of a track (and full of other quirky OTTBs), he took a big breath settled into his hay and hasn't been an issue since.


Thus, Westley needs someone who sees his breeding and says, YES! I want a horse with a ton of heart who needs a job. No, he doesn't need to work 6 days a week, but he sure wouldn't mind if he did. But he needs a career and to have all the challenges and supportive direction placed in front of him. 


So if you're someone who loves these bloodlines, or loves the idea of taking a horse aching for a job and taking him out fox hunting regularly, eventing him (I think he'd be killer at this!) or taking him around the jumpers, let's talk. In the meantime, I'll keep legging him up, get hind shoes on him and start him over fences.

Folks, I need your help here. I know so many cautious riding ammies. They won’t work. This mare needs a young rider with GRIT and a sense of humor and for lack of a better way to put it - balls. Do riders like that even still exist???


I have been playing round with Mo over fences and having a blast (she has scope, a change if you know how to ask, does want hind shoes… so thats on the list of to-dos). But man is she fun. Someone find me a good riding young rider who wants to go do all the things with a game, attractive, smart mare on a crazy low budget. .


Fun, sassy jump school https://youtu.be/i-QtskxNaxs?si=8kwAhZDkvolJ-EwM

Most recent ride w a few fences: https://youtu.be/BdCklG2IMQA?si=fCAzzAZAHS5ADsyZ


She loves to jump, is tidy and kind and consistent over fences and wants nothing more than to do the job and do it well (once she respects you -… she is a smart mare after all). 


So I get asked all the time - what does she do? Here? swish her tail and suck back a tiny bit. At her last place... all the things. The mare wasn't happy, I think the trainer would correct while shutting all forward options and she'd pop up. She tests boundaries sure, but she hasn't ever tried shenanigans here more than tossing her head around and flailing her front legs in transitions.


Is sweet and easy when there are boundaries on the ground, but will aim at you, your vet or farrier if she doesn't respect you. Again -things we don't really have issues with here, but you need to know that they are possible. Correct her and she won't do it again. She's a smart cookie.


Does weave -loves to live out 24/7. Does not weave outside.


More info for her first posting when returned:

Mo is back! She has ample ammie experience but didn’t quite work out with her last owner. 

Ok... so... This mare is smart, and athletic, and willing... but only if you have earned her respect. She needs a bold, uncomplicated rider who isn't afraid of some minor discussions, and is game and gritty enough to help this TALENTED horse stay on the right track and go up the levels in whatever discipline you decide. 


That's a nice way of saying, if you're mild mannered and can't comfortably say, "hell no, knock that sh*t off and go forward" she's not the mare for you. If your barn's go-to is "it's being difficult, get ace," also not the mare for you. Simply get on, get her in front of your leg and this horse just floats (and is willing to do everything asked and do it well). If that sounds like your type of ride - reach out we are flexible on carrots to get her to the right home!


We're in the process of reminding her of her boundaries and manners, but throughout, I'm reminded why I have always liked her. I'm 100% a gelding person, and this mare is a MARE. But she is smart (maybe problematically smarter than some people), talented, and sweet once she has decided you're worth her time of day. She's kind of like the female friends I have... fierce, opinionated, independent, not for everyone, and the type that will go to bat for you time and time again because somehow you earned that unwavering loyalty.


Mo is offered at 4k. The quality  And appropriateness of home is most important.

Tobi (Fernando) 2016 15.2h OTTB gelding

Velvet (Funnystastic)~16.1h 2022 OTTB filly by Funtastic

Velvet (Funnystastic)~16.1h 2022 OTTB filly by Funtastic

Oh what a cool little horse! Tobi has the Broken Vow movement (huge forelimb articulation) that so many dressage folks are looking for. He’s a small horse, sure, but his movement sure is big. Just check out his canter. Simply wow. I can only imagine how great he is going to go with some more conditioning and muscle. 


So... Tobi has been here for a minute, but he's ready to get back out there and find his human.  Right around the time he had his pre-purchase scheduled, we had to reshoe him. The move from glue ons to the same set up but nailed on (he had grown nice foot) led to an abcess and a long recovery and investigation. Radiographs showed us the angles he needed and we trimmed and shod to that. He's still a tiny bit sore left front as the abscess caused quite a bit of inflammation tracking from sole to heel, but he's healing up well and better by the day.


So he's back to work and showing off his outstanding gaits. I would really, really love to see this kid land in a knowledgable dressage home. The first person trying to purchase him had realistic Grand Prix goals and the know how to get him there. Here's hoping that he'll be lucky enough to draw in a similar human once more and this time not abscess right before he needs to jog.


Tobi might be nine and green, but none of that is his fault. When he came off the track during Covid, his owner tried to make him into a pony horse. Tobi tolerated that (kinda) for a few months, but made it clear that he had other ambitions. A friend of mine in Georgia bought him, got him going WTC and popped a couple of x rails. Then life got busy and Tobi basically spent the next three years just hanging out in a paddock getting chubby.

 

Suffice to say, he is VERY let down and ready to go! I hopped on this week and his first ride impressed the pants off of me. That movement is there, and even though he needs condition and strength, he puts 110% into his gaits. He seems to like contact, though is still figuring out how to stay totally steady in the bridle and ride straight. I mean, for a brief restart and a few years without a refresher, this is fantastic. I’ll take it.

Ride two is here: https://youtu.be/IThaXb3dJFc?si=Fl0nC8eeRLbSND1B


The big thing with Tobi besides his movement is that he is a horse who really wants a leader. Tobi isn’t the boss, he’s the guy who does amazingly well and excels at all tasks when he has someone he trusts to quietly and carefully explain it to him. Tobi really wants his own human who he can trust and who he can rely on. Here’s an example: Ride one went great going left, but when going right, he suddenly saw the lawn mower and the mess in the corner. Instead of bolting or skittering sideways, he quietly halted and made it clear that he was worried. He was happy to walk away from it quietly but not towards it. He needed help with the confidence. So I hopped off, he followed me past it twice – remounted and he didn’t look at it again.

 

I think that Tobi would LOVE a dressage career – and he’d be eligible for the Pony Cup. But I also think he’d do fine jumping (and we’ll test him over some fences in the next week or so too). The only bottom line is that Tobi needs someone who will love him and give him confidence to go do the things that he doesn’t know he’s capable of. Believe in him and you’re going to have the horse of a lifetime. 


Tobi would be a good choice for anyone who is an intermediate or better rider with a quality trainer well versed in training Thoroughbreds. He’s not complicated, but not for a beginner either.

 

Tobi is offered at 8500$. Trial ride info and fees described above.

I’m not a mare person but I really, really like this filly. She got hind shoes 11/26 and I am so excited to see how she goes! In the meantime, we have been going slow, and teaching her about contact and rhythm. In the right hands this mare is going to be an absolute rock star. No limits. All heart.


And I put her at fences on 11/25 just to see how she did. She took a minute to think through her feet and then went, ha! Too easy! She's going to jump... and be wildly good at it.

From 11/15

Alright folks, the gelding I had recently listed “Always Fun” broke the internet for a few days and left a trail of broken hearts when he found a human. This stunning lady is sired by the same stallion: Funtastic (More Than Ready) and brings the uphill athleticism of Mr. Greeley and Dehere to the fore from her dam side. 


Talk about a hind leg. This girl is going to kill it out evening! Her canter is rhythmic and you can feel the reach up under the saddle. No doubt she can jump (hell, she easily popped over a downed fence board at my friend’s place and read the terrain up hill and into the other pasture.) 


First ride at Kivu: https://youtu.be/pYwtaSOPofQ?si=OMaevZTMApUo5aWB


Velvet (named by a friend’s kiddo) is sweet, very curious, smart and kind. She’s not reactive or fractious and had no trouble learning to put her hind end under her and go forward in her first ride here. 


She does needs hind shoes, some alfalfa and to get a bit stronger in general but man is she nice. I think I’ll take anything from this sire line if they’re all like Always Fun and this gal. 


I’m not a mare person but I like this non-marish mare a lot. She gets along with everyone and is simply easy going and kind. There hasn’t been any squealing or kicking or opinions yet!

Pending Doma Fabrizia LR "Britzy" 2009 Hanoverian just shy of 16h Mare

Ace is one easy going dude. And he is probably the easiest horse I have had to start under saddle. Yes, he had been sat on once or twice previously, but he wasn't quite riding broke when he showed up. It took a couple weeks of confidence building but now this kiddo is confidently walking, trotting, and cantering under saddle. 


He stands  well for mounting and dismounting, understands how to lunge and is overall a good egg that is ready to be trained in whatever direction. I could see him having a great dressage career (his uphill canter is amazing), honing his driving and riding, or simply being the all around American horse that Morgans were intended to be - event him a bit, hunter pace, go to a dressage show, and ride him down the road to grab an ice cream (I mean if I was still a teenager, this is exactly what I would have done with him - and he'll be good at all of it).


Ace came to me from a local Amish connection and has driven. Driving horses are great as they come in with excellent steering and brakes. They are only moving him on as he is just too slow with the buggy - as the connection put it, "I just don't want to go 7-mph the whole time."


Ace has taken the whole transfer from driving horse to riding horse so, so well. He's good for the farrier, good in the cross ties, hangs out, turns out, and is ultimately uncomplicated, loves cookies and is ready for his own human.

Britzy is a rare treat at this barn - a horse that is NOT green and has more well-trained buttons than a skyscraper elevator. 


This lovely mare is a true school master. She has competed through Third Level dressage and has won annual top of her class awards for her second level work in California. She has run through BN in eventing with a kid (so don't judge that record too harshly). And is an all around good kid with many more miles in the tank. 


I probably should have started by saying, I am not a dressage rider. I mean, I ride dressage by default - I event. But I have not been properly schooled almost ever. (Goals for the future, sure). But the best part about this mare is her try. She's like, ummmm I think you want haunches in. OK. ... wow human, you cued that change like sh*t but I'll give it to you anyway. No sass, no pushback, just honest effort to guess which button you're trying to push. 


Her gaits and transitions are beautiful and she is happy to remain light but connected through all three, with confirmed quality medium work in trot and canter. The extensions will be there again as she gets stronger through her hind end. 


Schooling ride with me playing with the buttons (no I didn't cue the left to right change correctly and she told on me): https://youtu.be/xcuU5OdHiLo?si=5Z8txIs_U8MqgJoT


So if you're looking for a dressage schoolmaster, this mare is exactly what everyone needs for the holidays. Imagine what she can do when ridden by someone who actually knows what they are doing (or instructed by someone who equally does). 


Britzy spent the last few years doing lessons and being a kid's horse. She prefers a slightly more educated ride, but doesn't do anything naughty. The first time I met her in Georgia, the worst thing she threw at her junior rider was to stop and decide she'd rather be done. She hasn't tried a single stunt here and I think she would love to be back out competing in the dressage world. 


She has no vices or quirks on the ground - she leads great, crossties, ties, trailers, stands for the farrier, is good for the vet... you name is, she's the "been there done that" type. 


Britzy is offered at $15,000 while we tune her back up and get her stronger. Her price will increase with time in training and experience. Trial fees and information above apply.

Jeffrey (named for Jeffrey's Bay - a surfing Mecca in South Africa) is one of my favorite young horses to come through the barn in a long time. This kiddo sports all the personality and talent that are going to give him a heck of a second career. Kitten's Joy horses are known for being smart, sensible and talented and this one follows suit, 100%.


On 11/20 I pulled his last remaining shoe, trimmed up his long toes a tiny bit (he was great for that and will get four shoes next week), and swung a leg over. With three year olds, I never know what to expect. First rides could go great, or they could be a hot mess of trying to manage the contained chaos below you. 


Jeffrey was great for the mounting block, came round as soon as I put leg on and lifted him up into my seat and hand, and trotted in front of the leg without losing the cadence asked. His canter has a steady, even three beats and is balanced over his outside hind. When horses have been well started on the track it shows.


First post track ride with no shoes (he would prefer all four but that comes next week): https://youtu.be/X5o6FX_TfW0?si=ByxH5CH6c6tzz7yi


Oh, and I popped him over a small cross rail just to see what he thought. Verdict: He thought that was pretty cool - trotted in quietly, pushed off well and landed in a quiet canter.


Good in turnout with a bunch of geldings, good in the stall, good on the crossties, good in the wash rack... you name it, he's going to figure it out. Basically, this kid has impressed me at pretty much every turn. I cannot wait to see what he develops into.


Jeffrey is striking, no doubt. But his little ears and personality top off the under-saddle talent. Think very kind but slightly snarky filly. He loves neck scratches and to have the sides of his face pet, but reach for him when he's not in the mood and he throws a hilarious amount of sass back at you. There's not a mean bone in his body but he sure has opinions about how he wants to be handled in a stall. 


Jeffrey is all talent and all toddler, so he's best suited for a slightly more experienced handler. I'd love to see him head to a home that will restart him slowly and correctly and point him to a career in the show ring. He'd be great in literally anything - hunter / jumpers, dressage, eventing, fox hunting. There's not much doubt that he can do whatever you train him to do. 


And just to note, Jeffrey is a coming four year old - he will likely top out between 16.1h and 16.2 and has a barrel that will take up leg (rider is 5'9")

If you're looking for a goofy, quiet-natured puppy, I present to you: Banks. This horse is doe-eyed and kind with ears that originate from the sides of his head in a way that is hopelessly doofy and cute. He wants all the attention, to help hold your lead rope, or hood, or polo wrap. If he can be involved, he'd love to be, but he's far from a menace - just sweet and really, really going to follow you with his big, curious eyes until you come pet him. 


On the track Banks was a bit up in his stall (I had the pleasure of hanging out with him a few times before he came home) but in my farm he has taken a deep breath, figured out turnout and settled in without issue. He is good on the crossties, let me put a shoe back on without any fuss, and is OK with everything we have thrown at him thus far. 


Undersaddle, Banks is smart and works really really really hard to figure out what you're asking. Sure, he's still immature and goofy, but if you explain it well, he will do everything he can to figure it out. 


It took about half of the first ride for him to understand the whole inside leg, outside rein thing. Once he grasped it, you could pretty much literally see the lightbulb go off and him go, "wait, like THIS?!" and then give me the best impression of a low round hunter. Yes, Banks, kinda like that. Good boy.


Video of his first ride here:https://youtu.be/y6VEa_FrMfI?si=YQKuKTG6UYJ-5oNj


He is clean legged, sound, and just a lovely critter whose shoulder will be matched by his hind end once he settles into a new career and gets stronger from his hind end. 


To do that though, we need to fix his feet. Classicly low-heeled and long toed, he needs a few months of decent work to bring those toes back, grow heel and support both his hind and front end. This isn't something to panic about, just something to keep on the front burner and fix over time. His trot will have a whole lot more push to it from behind when he has something to push off of. Promise. *My farrier assessed and shod him on 11/26 and agrees that we need to keep on top of the angles and grow the heels down - it just a process not a problem.  


Like most Central Banker (Speightstown) offspring, Banks is one of those horses who will be good at whatever you want him to be good at. He could do hunters, or jumpers, he'd have a blast learning to event and fox hunt. But he's also one who with the right, competent rider and trainer could be an all around horse. He is not a good option for a first restart or as the horse who will get you back into eventing after many years away from riding. He needs a confident human with a sense of humor. If he finds that, there's no limitations in sight. 


Banks is offered at 7k to an appropriate home. Trial processes and fees described above, apply.

Artie (Reunion Tour) 16h 2018 OTTB gelding by Supersaver

2nd overall in the Eventing Preliminaries at the Retired Racehorse Project Makeover of 59 entries. “5*!!“ comments from Olympic level judges And best XC score of all those who competed by 5 points. Shared the award for Top NY Bred at the Makeover of all disciplines this year. This little horse is going to be big time. And I am so excited to watch him take the HTs by storm (whether it’s me in the irons or you).


***but hey, before I waste your time, please stop reading here if you haul one horse only. He always needs a buddy - and needs someone who understands that not doing so comes with a panic button that is not negotiable. Not buddy sour, not herd bound, but he has severe isolation anxiety when boxed in, be it in a stall unable to see another horse or in a trailer. **** 


Artie ran BN at the Makeover with ample scope to spare. He has been responsibly produced through recognized starter HTs at GVH/Larkin Hill among other smaller shows and is proving to be not only quiet and rideable both in warmup and in the competition rings, but an overall reliable show partner. He's ready to tackle a HT or two at BN in the winter / spring and then move up. He’s  brave and ridable to every fence, water, ditch, up down bank etc…

Makeover dressage schooling and test: https://youtu.be/YYbKUIlW6tg?si=Ho-9ih3YVmU-vqEw


Artie has a big jump and a quiet, rhythmic way of going. His dressage regularly gets 7.5s with lots of room to easily train up and reach into the 8s. He’s brave to fences without being rushy or brash and I love how game he is for everything I have thrown at him. And he does all three phases in a HS duo. 

Artie is a quiet ride if you know how to flat and jump a tb. Ride quiet and with confidence and he’ll do it all. Lock down or get tight and he’ll get hotter. As such he’s a ride for a serious competitor not a usual weekend warrior.

He’s professional on the ground and shows he likes you quietly and in his own introverted ways - he’s not an in your pocket goober, but rather a very kind, independent critter who takes a minute to warm up. When he does, you’ll know but it’s a quiet affection and respect. I’ll take that all day long.


Here’s the catch: have Ppe-d this horse twice. He ran hard. His body has a slew of dents, dings, thickenings, old scars and tales of hard work. But he rides like this. Jumps like this. He is a ride the horse not the vetting, because the pages of minor things that will come up will put off even the most realistic buyer. This is why I own him.

We could have dropped his carrots and moved him after the first vetting. But without a shot to show how he can do out competing, horses like this get overlooked, underbidded, and rarely end up in the right homes. So I got him out there, produced him despite his debts and dings, and he has grown better, stronger and more capable with each outing. This horse wants to compete. I won’t take that away from him. I do inject his hocks and front coffins, and will probably do so annually. He wears four shoes and likes pads up front if the mud allows.


He is good in the barn and easy in turnout IF YOU GET IT RIGHT. His can’t be alone quirk is no joke. A human counts, so if you’re with him, he’s fine. Ride alone anywhere, all good. But he needs to not be the first in to a stall or last out or regularly haul independently. He’s not buddy sour or bad about riding away from friends, he just has an intense and immediate fear of being the only horse in a given box. Who knows, maybe he needs a goat or a mini…?

Artie will stay with me and keep clicking up the levels next season, but if you’re game and want to easily bring a horse along through training and potentially truly into the ULs, he’s absolutely ready to start marching up the levels with someone new.

Emmett has been packing on the pounds and topline and keeps proving that he has all the potential trial to be one hell of an amazing sport horse. Emmett is so impressive that he is now part of my string. I’ll bring him along and compete him and wait until the right eventer shows up ready to take him on.

Emmett is whip smart, honest, kind, and has so so so much talent. Like this one is going to JUMP! and he ate up his first schooling HT.


In early summer, Emmett  had a PPE that is basically a great example of “ride the horse, not the X-rays.” He has a handful of small things the most significant of which was his pedal osteitis. We stuck front pads on him and the vet watched him go two days later and was like, “that’s already more than 50% better!”Happy to discuss that / share rads and chat through other findings with serious buyers.

Emmett is plain bay sure, but he’s also plain lovely. Smart, kind, willing, and just good and sensible. He’d be a great option for an advanced junior or an intermediate or better adult ammie. He should turn out to be the all around good egg type who can do anything asked. Sure. I think he’ll excel in eventing and jumpers but this kiddo would handle the hounds just fine too. 


As an aside-  this kiddo came off the track looking very, very rough. His owner did a great job getting weight on him and were continuing the trend up here. He needs another 100 pounds and a bunch of topline and muscle but he’ll get there soon! The last photo is how he was off the track. Lucky duck to have landed with his owner and we’re lucky to get to work with him here


Emmett is available to the perfect home for 7500. Trial info above.

Indy is one that I don’t really want to list, but I don’t get to keep them all. I have loved this kid since my friend Erica Brown picked him up for the 2021 RRP Makeover. We co-trained him and competed him as a team, winning the Team Eventing division that year.

Indy is kind, in your pocket, goofy as hell and outrageously talented with an easy riding stride and fantastic jump. But he’s not without his lumps and bumps (happy to discuss with serious inquiries). Manage them correctly as we have and you will have a horse with unlimited talent and try. I have always thought this kid could head towards the upper levels, but he’s just as happy clicking around BN.

I have run him recognized BN (he ran that at the Makeover too) and he has schooled Novice elements with a move up planned for September. Erica took him to a long format Starter in 2022, and he was a rock star. Olympian Dorothy Crowell has loved this horse and his gallop since the Makeover, and has contributed to his training with Erica.

In the between years, his former owners have transitioned to more western disciplines and he has just hung out. I jumped at the ability to buy him in the summer of 2024 and have spent the last 6 months reconditioning him for a sport horse life. He’s now fully ready to go and do all the things and keep you laughing along the way.

Indy will have new video coming as soon as it dries up enough to jump here again. In the meantime we’ll get arena video this week.

Indy is offered at 20k. On site trials only as scheduled and described above

Stall 13 Horse: Fig, 16.3h 2016 OTTB Warhorse Gelding by Tale of Ekati

Fig is one heck of a ham. This horse has more personality than most boarding barns see in a year. He's handsome, lovable and will shake you down for your treats or your beer. Yes, Fig loves a good libation and will happily steal sips of yours. 


Fig ran hard and earned his retirement. He came to us last year just before Christmas with swollen ankles and a slew of issues. We got him on the right path and he lucked into the lap of a generous ammie who took his rehab on as her project. What we thought was the need for hock injections turned out to be chronic (not acute) suspensory issues. Fig had stall rest, turn out and was slowly brought back to work. 


He just needs more time. He'll winter with us in our usual set up - 12 hours in, 12 hours out being a dingus with his friends. And we'll bring him back to work and see where he is at in late winter / spring. 


Often with ligament and tendon issues, when the issue is not acute, they just need time and more let down than most people want to do. We have time, and we like Fig, so he can hang out and cause a happy ruckus in the barn while we see how sound he will come and what he will need. 


Fig is available for adoption FOR REHAB at 1000 and a contract. There is no guarantee that this horse will jump in the future or be a first flight fox hunter. But we're pretty certain there's enough soundness for a quality low-level career in there.

Gen is ready to find his human and hit the trails or bee bop around as a low level all around mount. Asking 🌟very low f o u r s🌟 for this big dude. 


Gen is wildly uncomplicated but he is still a big moving, HUGE young thoroughbred. He’s brave and has not displayed any anxiety under saddle. I’d rather see him end up in a home where he’s not expected to be a packer at 5 though. He has a great brain and willing, kind demeanor but he will still need the rider knowledge and training to learn whatever job it is you point him at. 


Recent schooling: https://youtu.be/PUZEObv_YhI?si=ugk6ddlp6F0-44ED


Good for the vet, the farrier… good in a stall and out in a field of geldings. Good on the cross ties…Just plain good across the board. He does need at least front shoes.  


Generation had a productive race career, retired sound and then began training for his second job as a fox hunter. There were big dreams for this guy- the huntsman’s horse. He trained well, ticked all the boxes, and was full speed to a career he would have loved. 


A basic chip removal set off a reaction of bone growth in his right front fetlock. He has osteophytes and bone spurs making it visually bigger but also job limiting. Cornell is pretty sure the heavy demands of a job at the top of the hunt are more than he needs right now (aka jumping should be limited) but he is still absolutely ridable and able to do lower level things. As such he is what we call “serviceable sound.” I would not point him at a show life or a circle-driven dressage career, but there is a lot of miles left in those legs and that ankle. 


Could he hunt occasionally without jumping? Oh absolutely. Could he do some hunter paces and trail ride? Yep. Could he be a family horse for a good riding group of folks? Sure. Is he a “husband horse”? … maybe… guess that depends on the quality of husband (riding that is). 


We’re happy to share radiographs and reports and discuss findings. Nope, this one won’t “pass” a vetting but there’s ample corners of the horse world where he’ll still have a place. 


STALL 13 SUPPORTED HORSE


Gen is available through Stall 13, a New York based non-profit organization (www.stall13.org) that specializes in challenging case horses like himself. Our goal is to show that horses like Gen can recover and make it to a new career despite their known challenges and have a good life. As such, he comes with lifetime protection and a contract - he’s always welcome back here and we’re always here to help. His carrots go directly back to the program to support avenues for other “challenging case” horses and prove the notion that one should always “ride the horse, not the xrays.”

Gen is offered at 2000 to a lower level home who understands his maintenance needs and limits. His purchase price is a donation to Stall 13 and goes directly to caring for the other horses in the program. Trial fees and processes explained above.

PLACED! Stall 13 Horse: Sews (Lord Darnley, 17+h 2018 OTTB gelding by Lion Heart located in Lansi

PLACED! Sews is a huge, elegant goof ball who has three lovely gaits and a jump with clear, pretty knees. He feels great and has made it very clear that he is ready for a job! What job does Sews need? He could succeed at pretty much anything – eventing, dressage, fox hunting, jumpers, and even hunters for his daisy cutter movement. More info at Stall13.org


That said, Sews absolutely needs a herd… and he needs to have someone in that herd who can keep him in line. He struggles to differentiate play from “knock it off” cues and he’s so big that it can get him in trouble. Note - he's not mean, just a bit of a big doofus who needs to be told where to go when he gets too annoying... think more irritating little brother who perpetually says "not touching" 


Under saddle he is pretty uncomplicated and has been regularly ridden and competed by a talented young rider. He is successfully and “fancily” showing off his flat work and happily shown through starter and schooled BN.

Sews came through my program in Georgia last year and was with me from Christmas to March. In that time he gained a solid foundation and was coming along well.


He shipped to Washington to a very knowledgeable rider, and didn’t quite work out in the situation. To no fault of anyone’s he just needed a set of other geldings to play with. Alone in a paddock next to a pony, Sews just got himself in more and more trouble. His owner did everything under the sun – she treated for ulcers, worked him on the ground, and xrayed his back – he does have kissing spine, which he does not palpate to. *I'm happy to share more insights here as I do not believe that this is a limiting factor for him.* Unsure how to go forward, she kindly shipped him back across the country.


Sews has hung out with my geldings and found his feet and herd. Goofy has become his primary personality trait and hes easy to handle on the ground and in the saddle. He would love a doting human with a good sense of humor who understands that hes a dingbat and has at least an intermediate or above riding level. 


Requirements:

-  Shoes (he has tender feet)

-  A herd of geldings

-  A rider & trainer with intermediate or better skills in the saddle and solid abilities to maintain boundaries

-Correct saddle fit 


Sews is available for an adoption fee of 2k negotiable (see www.Stall13.org for more) to the perfect, knowledgable home. Adopters will be asked to fill out an application (you can resell) before proceeding with transfer of ownership.

FOUND A HOME!!!! RRP Makeover 2025 graduate finishing in the top 1/3 of the dressage entries despite a test interrupted by the fox hunt division. The judges loved his trot work awarding 8s. he’s ready to begin training first level movements. 


Makeover Dressage: https://youtu.be/BHjCgG65Lf0?si=v5kDpJZ45nVnRv-h


Major Spin is a huge horse who has all the presence, movement, and smarts to go right on up the levels in dressage. He’s only 16.3 but carries himself like he’s 17.2. He also has one of those classic “good brains” that means he could pack around at the Intro or Training levels quite happily. While I think he’d love and succeed at a dressage life, I would put money on his ability to fox hunt and to look damn good while doing so as well.

Outside hack at home April: https://youtu.be/SJWb9yIt-8E?si=9VtPb4th0dhSot6e


Spin is probably the only true rescue in my barn. I don’t use that word lightly. He’s a huge, smart, lump-headed goober who needs a job that accommodates a pretty special knee. Otherwise, I’d be eventing this horse up through the ULs.


Spin’s life on the track was not always easy and he fell into some less-than-optimal hands, who ignored what should have been treated. Slab fracture, chip, and arthritis. Spin became Stall 13’s* flagship horse and yet, after we rested him for a few months, he is sound and hard at work perfecting his dressage.


Spin has been to a bunch of shows, including one recognized dressage venture – all of which has gone great. He hauls like a pro, hangs out well and is happy to take it all in and make GOOD decisions. He’s great in a warmup arena with all shapes and sizes and directions of horses. And he’s as talented and smart heading down center line as he is training for it at home.


Spin is good for the vet and farrier (though understandably, he’s not a huge fan of folks messing with his knee), good on crossties, good in a herd, and generally just a smart, sensible, dude.


Spin would be appropriate for a good riding amateur to bring along, but in the right program he’d also be able to handle green-bean humans. Spin has confidently and carefully carried my nervous friends, helped to reinstall confidence in Thoroughbreds and handled trials and lessons and rides by all of my working students with ease.


He's not a total packer yet… and you still have to have and uphold boundaries, but Spin is proving to be an exceedingly versatile horse who just needs a job and a person or two who think the world of him.


*Spin is made available through Stall 13, a New York based non-profit organization (www.stall13.org) that specializes in challenging case horses like himself. We’re hoping that by showing that a horse like Spin can recover and make it to the Makeover, we can help open avenues for other tough to heal horses and prove the notion that one should always “ride the horse, not the xrays.” Reach out for more information.


Offered at $2000 (negotiable to a perfect home, with resale ability). See stall13.org for more info. 

Available Leases

Lease only - Wolf (Louisiana Moon 2014 ~16h OTTB Warhorse Gelding)

On-site lease only in Lansing, NY 

I love this little snapping horse. He is the most amazingly grumpy, athletic pain in the ass out there. And I adore all of his ridiculous overflow of personality (hence me putting off selling him since I bought him at the end of February of 2023). But I legitimately own too many and while I think he’ll be able to do anything anyone wants, my gut tells me that this horse will be a killer first flight fox hunter and or mid-level eventer with the right rider and situation. 


I may consider an off-site lease in an exceptional situation but before you read any further, he is NOT available to a boarding barn situation. His sense of humor and snapping turtle nature are too much of a risk and I don't want him anywhere he won't be loved as much as he is here.

Makeover Dressage: 

https://youtu.be/bXhorTcXJ-Q?si=m2T8Iej2FKssi1qh


So I’m legging him up to hunt and event and see what he thinks. In the meantime, he is for lease to a human that will put his quirky, odd-ball self first and enjoy all of the comical, sweet, but gnashy bits that are Wolf. 


OK, more specifically, Wolf competed in this year’s RRP Makeover in show jumping and BN eventing and he has miles at starter before that. Man is that horse brave. In KY, he took in all the arenas and all the fences, water, down bank, ditch etc etc etc without batting an eye. Wolf has scope for plenty more, though grids will definitely help him nail down his footwork. He has all the movement and presence to stop traffic, even at just 16h. 


Wolf did all of this well on less rides than I would have liked. His letdown from the track took a while and came in fits and spurts where he would get body sore and would get more time off. When I competed him in KY, I think he had maybe 30 retraining rides… MAYBE. He is now past the sore part, has packed on the pounds (finally)  and is onto the “needs a job” stage. 


Wolf has a hell of a hind leg and is put together like a proper Ferarri. He ran 63 times mostly in Louisiana and was sound for the duration - this kid is tough as nails and knows (and loves) that job. Thus, he is definitely not for an inexperienced rider. 


Add to it that he is smart - frankly smarter than most people I know - and thus is super good at getting himself in slightly comical trouble. He does not have a buck or rear, but he will outsmart you undersaddle if you're not on top of your game or if he feels your boundaries are merely suggestions. 


That said, Wolf is ALL WORK when in the tack. He loves his job and likes nothing more than to show you that he can do it. Wolf is INtense not tense. But whether in the saddle or on the ground, he mandates a sense of humor. Like many Malibu Moons and Ghostzappers, he can be … “expressive.” He is food aggressive and is generally likely to snap in your direction or lift a leg to threaten to kick when being groomed. Please note, he has no intention to bite or kick you… it is a game. And according to a vet who knew him when he was a yearling - he has always been like this. We just laugh at him, tell him it is not allowed and oddly he wins hearts on a daily basis. 


*We have gastro-scoped etc etc etc and all clean .. .He also receives maintenance and adequate appropriate for a 9 year old horse who ran hard for 7 of those years. He has earned it.


Despite all his goofy-grumpy antics, he is easy to love. See, he actually likes people, but it seems that he has no ability to be normal, so snappy affection is his go-to. I’d love to see this petit powerhouse of an alligator run through the mid-levels or cruise around the fox hunt field. He will always have a home with me, but in the meantime, he would love to have his own human and go do all the things. 


Wolf’s lease would be 450 half lease, 900 full lease, lessons required (price additional) . Must be able to coordinate ride schedules and be 18 or above. Located in Lansing, NY - on-site trial fees apply (see above)

ONSITE Lease only - Koops 2020 16.2h OTTB Gelding by Girvin

On-site lease only in Lansing, NY 

I'll get more info up here soon. But in the meantime, Koops is up for full or half lease at Kivu Sporthorses and Training in Lansing, NY. NO OFFSITE LEASES, sorry.


Koops is a sweet, sensible but also playful kiddo who would love to have a human to look forward to. Koops is a LONG story (please go read up on Facebook). When shipping to me in February of 2023, his shipper went off the road and into a culvert, putting Koops through the floor of the trailer. Two jaws of life later, the saint of a horse loaded up, headed to a local vet and began his very very long process of healing.  Ten months later, he was ridable. Now he's recovering from a knee injury of his own making. Suffice to say, this isn't an upper level horse right now. However, he is outrageously wonderful and would love to have someone work on his dressage and possibly leg him back up to jumping. 


https://youtu.be/fTPfocZaBF8?si=mJP06pbybAgNciSZ


Please reach out if you think you're a fit. Discounted lease fees available for the right person who fits the horse and his needs.
