Jasmine is a lovely-moving unregistered Thoroughbred mare. While she does not have a tattoo or a Jockey Club record, she is fancy, well-built, and will light up the hunter or eq arena! 

Jasmine has been owned by a talented junior for the past two years and come a long way. She has schooled up to 3’ and put in the work in dressage. She is happiest when jumping or being allowed to move out in a long-low (but very balanced) fashion that leads me to think she’d enjoy a hunter or eq career. Brave and scope to fences, with perfect square knees, this mare is going to be a someone's all around, have fun, go show, go trail ride, jump all the things dream horse.

No vices, not super "Mare-ish" (but undersaddle can be sulky at transitions and would prefer an "ask" not a "tell") and turns out well in a herd or alone. 

Asking $6500 to increase with training and experience. Located in McDonough, GA.

Mountain Holiday is a total saint. Well… a saint with God-awful feet. He is one of my favorite horses in the barn, and about as sweet as they get. He is green and learning to jump and use himself correctly, but all he wants to do is to do it right. 

I adore this horse and think that he might have a home here with me for a very, very long time. That said, he is not an Upper-Level prospect and so needs to have his own ammie. 

I have plans to take Mountain to the Retired Racehorse Project’s Makeover in October and thus this is only offered as a half lease. 

Half leases include two rides a week and one lesson. Cost is $550 a month plus half of shoes ($100) or any elective care.

Mountain has successfully run Tadpole (and won), and jumped through a BN CT. My plan is to get him around a BN Three-Phase in June or July.  

He would do best with someone wanting to learn to bring along an OTTB, with low level goals (Through BN). Again, he has best personality in the barn and will love all the loving and attention that a half lease would provide.

Tuck (Louisiana Bling, 16.1+ (and growing) 2018 OTTB gelding). Tuck is plain lovely - great conformation, breeding, bravery, and goofy personality. 

He last raced in mid-March and is definitely track tight, but has been a complete gentleman here. Crossties, stands, walks quietly on the lead. Undersaddle he was sweet and uncomplicated. 

He can be a bit reactive in his stall, so we’re slowly working to get him to trust people in situations where he is not in a halter (in a halter, he’s extremely professional). He is making quick strides in relation to trust, and in the process, is showing just how sweet and curious he is. 

Tuck turns out well with others and generally he is just enjoying learning how to be a horse. Tuck would benefit from some down time in order to let-down from the track. 

I’m super excited to see how he progresses. He’d be appropriate for an ammy or a pro. 

Currently priced at 10k and available to be tried or viewed in McDonough, GA. Price to increase with training and experience. 

For sale to an UL / Professional home only. 

“Seeker” is one of the smartest, most upper-level horses that has come through this barn. He has solid thick bone and a lovely carriage and movement in all three gaits over all types of ground. Looking for the “look of eagles”? He has that in droves. 

This horse will excel in Eventing, and I cannot wait to see him covering ground on cross country – it is going to be impressive, and I have no doubt that once he figures out the job, he’ll rocket up the levels.

Let me just say this – I REALLY LIKE THIS HORSE. Like, a lot. I like him because I can see the potential, talent, and self-respect, and I adore his super sharp brain and his opinions. I am thoroughly enjoying bringing him along.

That said, it is not a quick process. A lot of the work and rides are one step forward, two steps back. This horse is a professional or advanced amateur (with a solidly qualified trainer) restart prospect. He is otherwise not currently amateur-friendly. I have other more ammy-friendly horses… this one is bigtime, and needs the expertise to manage the talent (and opinions). 

Having run 50 times and won just shy of 200k on the track, Seeker was a solidly good racehorse. AND HE KNOWS IT. He is still in the phase of thinking that this whole “post-track” career thing is a load of BS. He knows his race job and will make you work for every inch of the new life – the mounting block, walking, taking a breath and settling into a “nice” trot, standing still, a canter that doesn’t feel like you’re headed out of the start gate… 

He is learning to listen to your seat - But you cannot pull. In other words, he is not easy. But he is absolutely worth it. Once he respects you and understands the boundaries he must operate within, he is lovely. Since he came in, he has turned out nicely in small herds, learned leading skills, crosstie patience, and is even starting to enjoy scratches in his stall. There are moments of brilliance every ride that will keep you wanting to get back on and see if you can get a few more moments of that the next ride. 

Seeker is eligible for the 2022 Retired Racehorse Project’s Makeover.

LEASED 

Forrest is a funny, grumpy, lovable beast who will always have place with me. He is my former upper-level hopeful. He made it to Training and schooled Prelim, but between his easily-distracted brain and and a weak stifle, he proved that he wasn’t cut out for the upper level job at hand. For the last year, I have used him as a lesson horse for beginners up to intermediate riders. He always has something to teach.

He loves mid-level riders (he’ll definitely make sure you learn to use your outside aids and KICK). But as you ride him up the levels and ask for more talent and more engagement, he becomes much more horse with a good freight train run always possible. 

I’d like to find him someone competent who wants to improve their dressage and lower level jumping with the possibility to get back to showing (though he can be A LOT off property).

Forrest is available for lease (full or half lease) here on the property. Leases require bi-monthly lessons at a minimum. 

Contact for more information on Forrest or how leases at Kivu work.

SOLD 

“Latte” is a super-well bred Irish Draught (3/4) x Thoroughbred (1/4) filly. Born 6/1/21, this almost-yearling is currently roan, but will gray out in no time. She is spunky, level-headed and all around lovely and correct with a great set of floaty gates. That shoulder is going to develop in to a dressage or jumping dream. 

Her (17.1h IDSH) dam is a talented dressage horse with all the right moves (despite a career limiting pasture injury). Already sticking at nearly 15h, this filly should develop to be 17.0-17.2h. 

She is easy to handle and has been correctly started by Janeen Pasquill of Whispering Gaelic Farms, who has ample experience bringing ID and IDSH foals along. Latte leads, loads, clips, grooms, hoof picks, and is generally just a pleasure to be around.

Scoop her up now before she gets backed (next year) and takes the riding world by storm. This is going to be one seriously nice horse. 

Asking 15k (slightly negotiable to the right home), located in Covington, GA. 

SOLD! 

Mason is a super sweet, in-your-pocket, athletic youngster. He had a year off to let down after the track, and we began his under-saddle restart a few weeks ago. He was a good runner and retired sound. He has no limitations and is going to make someone a very nice horse in any arena (though, I’d lean towards jumpers or eventing). 

We have put four rides on Mason, and each ride he is increasingly willing and able to come over his back and swing through his shoulder. He is super well bred and much of that should translate to his sturdiness and sport-abilities

I’m looking forward to getting him over fences soon. In the meantime, here are some clips from his fourth ride: https://youtu.be/OibCZILFC1A

Mason is available to be tried in McDonough, GA. Asking $5500, to increase with training and experience.

SOLD Chicken is named for his general kindness and lack of bolshy arrogance, not  for his cowardice. This eye catching youngster has a low number of starts and is sound and excited to find his own human. 

Chicken Is very ammy-friendly and would do well with a teen, adult ammy or being brought along by a pro. He has no existing issues or limitations and he is so easy, I used him for a demo ride at my Thoroughbred Logic Clinic. We live-streamed the ride - all of which are available at @APGrahamEventing on Facebook.

RRP Eligible

Asking 9k to increase with training and show miles. Available to be tried in McDonough, GA. 

SOLD Vanderboom Ridge ("Boomer") is a seriously big (and also super classy and brave) dude. Standing 17.1h, this giant is gentle and seriously kind. Boomer successfully completed the Retired Racehorse Project's Makeover in the 2020 class at this years Mega Makeover (competing in dressage.) He is now successfully pursuing his career in fox hunting.

He has outstanding gaits and rides off a light seat and rein. He will make someone an impressive dressage partner or hunt horse. 

Boomer does all the things: cross-ties, loads, crosses water, hacks out alone or with friends, shows off in the sandbox, hacks out bareback, gallops quietly across open fields with hounds… you name it. 

“Boomer” does not love stadium jumping, however. He has been successfully rehabbed for a minor suspensory issue and is cleared to thoroughly pursue his dressage, trail or (limited daily jumping) hunt career. 

Boomer has been in my barn since Oct. of 2019 and is a barn favorite. I leave his stall door open (not kidding) and he doesn’t leave… like all day. He leads out with two other pasture mates like a pro. He loves treats and attention and basically just wants a human to call his own.

SOLD Pawn It Back, (“Cash”) is a lovely example of a thoroughbred. Near-black with a striking profile and long stride, he’s going to be a looker in any discipline. Cash is also intelligent and sweet. It took about two days here before he became a solid barn favorite. 

He turns out with a sizable field and enjoys himself at the low end of the pecking order. 

Undersaddle, he is willing and figuring out how to settle into soft contact. He is learning what fences are and while not quite sure what to do with his feet yet, he has shown impressive scope!

Video of ride 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdUwb1W5sC0

Cash did lightly bow a tendon on the track, but he has been properly rehabbed and it is barely visible. He is cleared for any level of work with no limitations. 

Asking 6500k; Cash is available to be seen / tried in McDonough, GA.
