Lady Allyn (Ellie) 16.1+h 2014 Ottb mare with strong City Zip lines

Ellie is a lovely, uphill, well-proportioned mare who is ready to go out and do all the things. Ellie first came here last year for one of my Thoroughbred Logic clinics, and I thoroughly enjoyed riding her. Since then, she has hung out with her owner, been ridden a bit by a junior, and spent a lot of time getting chonky in a field. I can’t blame her, and frankly, it looks great on her. Hunters take note. 

Joking aside, this mare is fancy! She is super uphill (did I mention that already), and quite athletic despite the pasture puff look. Her gaits are rhythmic and balanced and I have no doubt that she will have a nice, brave jump to her. 

Today marks her first ride back here after much of the last season off. We’ll get her going and jumping and out and about within the next month. Scoop her up before her price reflects her extracurriculars. 

Ellie has no known issues, no vices, and to my knowledge is sound and has no limitations.

Ellie is located in McDonough, GA, and is available at $7500 until we get her going over fences. No off-site trials, trades or leases. 

Nieko is a saint. This horse is honestly one of the kindest, most honest creatures I have met. He is all try and will make a junior or ammy adult a perfect partner to take through the lower-mid levels of any disciplines. 

Nieko has been leased by three of my students for the past three months and I'd love to find him another lease to keep him around, or find a perfect home for a sale or care lease - emphasis on the perfect home. Nieko IS A FORWARD THINKING HORSE. Lots of folks have been interested in him thinking he will be slow and on the buckle... he is lovely, kind, and gentle, but he has a huge stride and prefers to go forward (that said, he is super ridable and quiet when you get it right). 

He has been to a small jumper show and done x rails and the 2' and this weekend will go to a three phase at Poplar Place. He is the same horse on property as off. He took xc schooling super well and didn't blink at ditches, banks or the water. 

He hauls, bathes, leads, and rides like the been-there-done-that kid that he is. I hacked him out in my big 20 acre field the other day and he took it all in stride. Deer?  No big deal. Can't see his friends anymore? Whatever - what do you want human? Gallop up the hill? Sure, would you like me to slow down as we reach the flat part? 

He is brave - jumped through my course without blinking on his third day here. He can lock through his jaw when he'd rather not use his hind end, but a quiet reminder to come into your outside rein has him bouncing over his back in no time flat. As he gains fitness with each ride, he gets better and looser. 

Video of his first and second rides here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWWqJpWFnAc

Nieko is 17 - and like any working 17 year old, he will require regular maintenance. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing special that needs attention just regular hind end attention, proper shoeing, and joint care. 

Asking 4500 in McDonough Ga Open to discussions of care leases and on-site leases here.

Well hell, this is one ridiculously pretty mare. CJ just shipped here from Ohio to give a second career in eventing or jumpers a go. She is leggy, compact, and clearly extremely athletic. While it might be odd to find a neck attachment sexy, her’s 100% is. 

CJ was a pretty OK racehorse and won around 50K on the track before retiring and looking for a new career. This mare can MOVE - she is all suspension and slink. The first time I watched her trot across a muddy paddock, it stopped me dead in my tracks. 

CJ has some track bumps and scars, but we have all the veterinary background and radiographs that show everything to be  superficial; she’s clear for full work and no level limitations. 

This exceptionally pretty mare does need four shoes and needs a knowledgeable set of people to help teach her the ropes of a second career. She does get anxious, but so far has shown no bad behavior as a result. I’ll hop on in the next couple days and will be able to provide more information and a price at that point. 

In the meantime, CJ is under assessment, but still available for sale in McDonough, GA (no leases or trades).

Louis (Shackleford x a Two Punch mare) has been turning heads and capturing hearts at my barn for the last year. He has competed successfully through BN and competed in Show Jumpers and Eventing at the 2022 TB Makeover. Louis is the whole package – like the WHOLE thing.

He has scope, quiet rideability, is uncomplicated, hacks out quietly alone or in groups, is stunningly handsome, and loves snuggling with people (but is still super polite) so much that my barn help is all somewhat mad at me for putting him on the market. Louis has a fabulous jump and bravery on xc and stadium, while also enjoying dressage (whaaaat?!?) and regularly scores in the low 30s with ample ability to make the 20’s a very attainable goal. 

Louis’ first outing post-track (for his 4th and 5th ride) was to the Retired Racehorse Project’s Masterclass with Buck Davidson at Bruce’s Field during the Eventing Grand Prix. After an hour in the ring, I turned down two 4* riders who wanted to pick him up. 

Since then, he has grown two inches and filled out into a super handsome chonker. He easily could compete in Hunters, Jumpers, or Eventing and certainly would love the fox hunt field. Literally, the whole package. 

Better yet, with a good trainer, Louis is very ammy friendly. He is easy on the ground, correct in the crossties, loads, and unloads, stables well off property, and has hacked around perfectly for my working students and interns. No buck, bolt, spook, spin, stupid. Just a kind, fun, easy-going kiddo who has been correctly produced and has unlimited potential. 

I’m excited to keep bringing him up the levels until he finds his person, but he will be VERY happy to have his own human, and I’m excited for that too. 

Flat video coming soon (apparently I don’t save dressage tests of my personal horses…oooops, so I’ll have to get more video here…

FOR SALE OR LEASE @ KIVU 

Q is a strikingly handsome man who was a successful racehorse for a kind pair of owners. He was so well loved that he was retired responsibly and came here with a mild obsession with peppermints. He is super sweet and seems to miss having a "person" to himself...seems Q might need a human under the Christmas tree this winter.

Q has been lightly restarted and has been a professional for all that I have asked him to do. He hacks around on a loose or no rein and gets both leads. Q is mild mannered in the field so currently turns out with another shy horse and is doing very well with the whole "learning to horse" process. 

Q is priced as a lower level - midlevel horse as he is still a bit track tight and does have some changes in his right front ankle. I have radiographs and spoke at length with his track vet and owners and we're all on board for him having a jumping career with some maintenance, but I am aiming for his longevity and a happy, healthy second career, so would point him towards the lower levels and see how he does. 

RRP ELIGIBLE

Priced at $5500 to increase with training. Located in McDonough, GA no offsite trials leases or trades.

When my intern and friend, Kelly, watched Curry walk get his pictures taken her response was, "THAT IS A MOVIE HORSE" He is put together like an ideal equine specimin, and apparently other folks agreed as he sold for 500,000 as a yearling. Curlin x  Giant's Causeway is a heck of a combination both for brains and athleticism...

Curry was not as good as they hoped on the track and retired after just 10 races. That said, there are no limits on what he can do in the sport world. His walk and his canter are already so good, there's little doubt that his jump will be square and lovely and his dressage scores easily in the 20s. 

Curry is sweet and goofy and needs to pack on the pounds, but he is ready to start slowly workin into a new career. His first ride was super fun and uncomplicated. I would not say that this guy is super ammy friendly (yet) but with a good trainer and soft hands, he would make any good rider a great partner. 

Curry will get started back to work with no limitations in the next few weeks. Currently asking 8.5K to increase with experience. Located in McDonough, GA - no off-site trials, leases or trades. 

Well if "Uno" is not the cuddliest, chunkiest recently-gelded colt that I have met... I mean, come on, we call him Meatball...you can see why. 

He is sweet, uncomplicated and easy to manage regardless of having been a stallion until mid March. Uno is learning all about turnout and how to play well with friends in the field. He is good on the crossties, kind in his stall and generally an overall easy-to-manage guy. 

Uno is footsore from having his shoes pulled at the track and his feet trimmed quite short. He  should feel A LOT better with his shoes back on (as they now are). 

That said, Uno is a fancy, fancy mover. Once we turn some of that chunk to muscle, he'll be really something to look at. Even as is he is ridiculously stunning. 

Uno's first two rides (prior to gelding) were great. He proved that he had a sensible brain and was not prone to too many shenanigans. His gaits are lofty and lovely and his brain is simply fantastic. I am very quickly falling in love with this big goober so someone please pick him up before I try to add more to the keep team.

 All that said, I love the potential that the Tapic x Ruckus bloodlines hold and I can't wait to really get him going under saddle and see how he handles small fences. 

Uno has been gelded and will get started back to work with no limitations in April. Currently asking 10K to increase with experience. Located in McDonough, GA - no off-site trials, leases or trades. 

Ok OK OK  Louisiana Moon, Wolf, is perhaps the NICEST, FANCIEST and clearly most Upper Level horse that we have had through the barn. All I can say is that he has positively blown me away at every turn. This horse ran 63 times and is all class. His outstanding breeding shows in his shoulder, hip, neck attachment and his brain. This is one smart, smart cookie. 

As such, Wolf will be offered for sale to an Upper Level home only... or he goes to the RRP Makeover with me. He's eligible for both this year and next as he raced last in mid February. 

His first ride was ridiculously nice and I just kept grinning and saying, "Holy sh*% this is a nice horse!" He thought through the new tack and the new exercises but was smart and ridable and showed glimpses of just how stellar he is going to be. 

Wolf requires an experienced set of people on the ground and would not be suitable for a boarding situation that lacks TB-specific experience. He is a bit wary of new people and his go-to is a flattening of his ears and barring his teeth, but he is all bark, no bite. I'm pretty sure he likes humans, he just isn't sure how to go about doing that properly. And the more he gets worked with, the sweeter he is. 

Priced at 15K and available to be tried in McDonough, GA after 3/18

Pops is on heck of a good kid. He has the Curlin offspring head (which I think is ridiculously cute) and their extremely good sense and affability. His dam-side also hosts impressive sport horse-makers including Giants Causeway (one of my favorites) and Bold Ruckus, a known producer of excellent event horses. In a few months, this horse will show us what he has under the track-tightness and I’m pretty sure it will be not only impressive but level headed.

Pops walked into the barn and past the pig like he has done it a ton of times and since has just enjoyed hanging out and getting some down time. I take him down to the ring with me when I teach and let him hang out and be social and he does just that – chill and be part of the team. 

He did recently run at Mahoning and that track has been pretty rough on its horses this year. As a result, Pops has gotten some extra time to let his body soreness resolve. He is eating well, packing on the pounds and day by day (and with lots of turnout on good roaming hills) loosening up over his back.

The first ride proved exactly what I expected - he was a saint. At this point (that is subject to change as his body lets down) he was a kick ride with an enormous amount of sense and kindness. 

On his current trajectory, regular under saddle  training will start soon and he will become available as soon as his body is ready. At that point, he will be priced to reflect the new stage of his life. Currently he is for sale as a let down prospect only and only to knowledgeable homes. Please contact for price and opportunity if you think Pops is the right horse for you.

SOLD!! Lottie is probably the prettiest horse in my barn… and she only knows it sometimes. This extremely-nicely put together mare has uphill movement in all three gaits, knees that go to her nose, and a coat that even when dusty, still shines like some form of hologram. 

Lottie has jumped through 2’6” with ample scope for more. She has schooled XC and competed in local jumper shows and Starter Combined Trainings. This year, I expect that it won’t take her long before she is running Beginner Novice. 

Lottie is best suited for a patient, quiet rider who can give her the confidence that she needs to handle new experiences and the scary corners of the arena. Said rider should also have a decent seat and a sense of humor when in the saddle. With all of those things together, the moon is the limit for this fancy, fancy redhead. 

While Lottie is beyond striking, she also is a tad quirky. She has a spook (always warned with her extremely forward ears), and may leap sideways when concerned. It is simple enough to ride, but it needs to be noted that she is not for a beginner rider or someone whose confidence is easy to shake in the saddle. 

Additionally, she recently had an ankle chip removed in her hind left. We rested and rehabbed her correctly here and she was given the “all clear, no limitations” from the vet. X-rays available to serious buyers upon request. The ankle looks a little less than beautiful (seems the vets who did it hit a vessel) and does have some OA causing her to flex a bit uneven. But when the ankle is not cranked in unnatural shapes and ways, she is sound, capable, and ready to go do all the things.

On-Site Half Lease Only 

Forrest is the OG Thoroughbred at this farm and my former upper level hopeful. He has competed through Training (keep reading, please) and is surprisingly good with beginners (though I am not). He’s a sidekick and the first horse that I would pick to ride into battle (thankfully not something currently needed). I owe this horse everything and he owes me nothing. 

Forrest is available for half or full lease ON SITE ONLY to an intermediate or more experienced rider. I’m looking for a lessor for him who will show up regularly, love him the way I do, and give him all the attention and exercise he needs. He could pack a beginner around, but that is not this barn, unfortunately. This horse is capable of all the things - ride here, go show with us, hack out, have fun, hone your dressage, or work on your stadium courses. 

That said, Forrest is an attention hog on the ground (treats are a no-go until you’re done for the day for a reason) and smart as a whip, despite his “hold my beer” tendencies. He will pack you around the lower levels at home, but off property or moving up in fences, he can be a bit of what I affectionately call a “freight train.” He has brakes, but you have to know how to enact them, pitch and pull and he’ll just keep chugging along. 

If you’re a timid rider and have show goals, this is not your horse. Timid and want to stay home and practice?…maybe. Bold an ballsy and want to do any or all the things with us, fabulous. 

Off property, he’s a bit of a beast. Forrest is sweet, but he’ll challenge the best of them to keep him in line and quiet. He’s not sensitive (usually he’s a huge workout), but he is reactive when he feels like it. That said, he is the bravest horse I have ridden - has never refused a fence - stadium or cross-country and has schooled through prelim with the occasional intermediate element thrown in. I’d rather him stay around BN / N but the talent is there if he is properly conditioned and maintained. 

This horse deserves nothing but the absolute best. So if you want to ride one hell of a wonderful Thoroughbred and learn a ton along the way, reach out. He might not be for everyone, but hell, neither am I :)

Full Lease ($900 a month + vet and farrier fees)
