Atacama, 16+h 2015 OTTB mare located near Bath, NY

Atacama is available to an excellent and appropriate home by her owner currently, but is currently also in my training and lesson program. This mare is easy on the eyes and catty and talented under saddle as all get out. Oh, add to that that she is easy on the ground and snuggly.

I got to hop on her the other day at home and what a cool ride! This kiddo can absolutely jump the moon and no doubt she’ll score extremely well on the flat too. She would be a great jumper or Eventer prospect- no doubt had the scope And courage.

Atacama is best suited to a talented, sensitive, confident rider with a trainer versed in faster footed jumpers.

It’s great when owners write their own ads and I agree with everything in them. This mare is the whole package for someone who wants to eventually up the levels and lives an equal amount of sweetness and spice.

2015 thoroughbred mare by Desert Party x Terevaka (Storm Boot) -16h

She is an athletic mare, scopey jumper with superb form over fences. VERY brave on xc - this mare will jump anything you put in front of her and is careful and quick with her feet. 

She has a lot of miles including recognized events through BN with clear ability for more, clinics, numerous xc schoolings up to novice level, jumper derbies and dressage shows. 

She is a very sweet mare to work around with great manners on the ground and loves cuddles and attention. No vices. Wonderful to have on the farm, she turns out in a mixed heard with no drama, not mareish, and has solid hooves. Wears front shoes. Travels and handles new environments well. 

She is for sale to an excellent home only. Her best match would be a confident intermediate/advanced rider who can continue to bring out her potential. She would make a fabulous mid-upper level eventer or straight jumper, also has quality of gaits and big movement for dressage. A wonderful opportunity for an educated and sensitive rider working with a trainer, or a professional on a budget! More info and videos available upon request.

Asking 12k no leases or trades. Trial fees apply. Can be tried at the facility in Bath, Cohocton, or Ithaca.

Sailor is a very special case and equally special horse. He is a heck of a good mover, comes over his back, has a balanced stride and a natural jump. All the good things that will eventually add up to being a fantastic show horse.

The catch is that while he has all the talent and potential, he will need to continue to be produced slowly (patiently and correctly) by someone experienced with thoroughbreds and horses who lack confidence. Honestly, folks accustomed to handling from-the-wild mustangs would likely do well with him. We joke that he’s a bit of a Thorough-Stang.

Small jump video: https://youtu.be/eGF6z4BgQ0w?si=Tg7pn9hQnzAqb9q8

Here’s the important backstory: 

Sailor came to me in the spring of this year, mostly feral. As a five year old Thoroughbred bred-to-race, he had never been registered, barely handled as of late, and never broke. He avoided handling by hiding with the herd in his field, and other than one less than ideal training attempt had not been asked to do much. He was shy, had no attachment to humans, and was indeed very hard to catch.

Since then, I have very slowly brought him along. He now wtc under saddle and hops over little jumps. He is catchable in the field and loads and hauls beautifully. We took him to his first off property ride a few weeks back and he was good albeit very interested in all that was around him.

Sailor is sound with no shoes, good to tack and mount, but does not do well with the pressure of being tied. He has learned to ground tie instead. 

Sailor will continue in training with me until we find his perfect person. I adore this goofy horse- who now thinks humans are fantastic (Thankfully). And I think he will have all the potential to go and do great things in his lifetime so long as he continues to be brought along patiently.

Sailor is offered at 7k. There will not be trial rides permitted on him yet and I will be very careful about the match (will need to check references and talk with trainers etc).

Neil is an elegantly built gelding with a super kind eye. He should top out over 16.2h as he shot up (at the hip) recently and is a good 16.2+ there. Neil will be at the Makeover with me this year doing dressage like a total green bean, but his movement should speak for itself. This horse is damn talented. He needs time to grow up (literally) and fill out with more muscle but he is already a stunner with outstanding gaits and a great jump.  

Neil crossties well, stalls well, turns out well... all the things. He stands at the mounting block and took in all the new sights and sounds like a champ. His first ride in New York happened while tractors were moving manure and the drag was rattling down to the arena. He didn't care in the slightest.  Neil has been off property and on Trails. He is open to new experiences but needs more experiences and a lot of confidence to become an old hat at it.

First ride in New York:https://youtu.be/2TNk_vkwEnI?si=tq-sirpm7kTazz9r  

Neil is a young, green Thoroughbred, so he is recommended for an intermediate rider or above with a soft and and gentle seat. He has no known quirks, but is learning how to go forward into soft contact and is riding quite appropriately for his experience level. Neil is sensitive but absolutely has UL talent and ability 

Neil has clean legs aside one medial splint. The splint was checked over by a Cornell equine surgeon (not because we thought he needed surgery, but because she's a friend and happened to be in KY and checked him over for me before I picked him up) and determined to be a total non-issue. AKA it is just cosmetic.

Neil is currently in four shoes and has no other maintenance. 

Overall, this kid is going to be lovely. Located in Bath, NY and currently asking $10k no offsite trials available. Available for purchase from video or in person with a refundable-upon-purchase trial fee (see above).Neil will be available to be tried at the RRP Makeover in Lexington, KY from 10/8-10/13

Ramen arrived in late December and made it clear that he fits in immediately. He is goofy and curious and wickedly smart. Obviously I think he’s going to be amazing. 

Let’s start with the obvious: He is a Curlin x Pulpit. I needed to bring him in - two of my favorite sport horses for temperament and power. He is exactly what I expected and holy hell, his hind end reach and power is out of this world. THAT CANTER!

Under saddle, this smart, curious kiddo is  kind and ALL POWER. He is  willing to listen and work with you, but there is so much drive and heart, it is no surprise he was good on the track. He is going to be a killer fox hunter - and he's the type that would do great with a capable man. He needs a strong half halt and a soft ride to follow. But just look at that canter and walk.  Add to this that he is one of the bravest, most level -headed horses I have had through the barn. Zero bad behavior and super happy to hang out and let you teach a lesson from his back or go to work.

 I think this guy has a ton of potential. And because of that, he’d do best with an experienced rider and trainer familiar with talented, STRONG OTTBs. He is sweet and kind and has really started to settle in under saddle. Oh, and he is wickedly brave - hack up the driveway with friends or alone, cool. Hack around the pond on the buckle and go through the water? No problem. XC school all the elements - ditch, water, bank, logs, built fences. Yep. Freakin awesome. I'll have him out eventing in the spring if he is still here (and I won't be complaining...) 

Ramen does need shoes. He has a small lump on his right cannon bone from a common race procedure akin to pin firing (he ran successfully both before and after). 

Ramen is currently priced at $8000  No off-site trials or leases available. Able to be tried in Bath , NY or Lexington KY (10/7-13) On-site trial fees apply, (see above) 

 I have held onto Needles since I got him as a three year old (and have known him since he was a yearling) with the hopes of making him into my next UL hopeful. He slowed down the process with a few dumb gelding-doing-gelding-things-in-the-pasture injuries but he's back at it and making waves now as he begins to climb the levels. 

Needles ( I know, worst name ever), is brave, kind, goofy as hell, and smart. He's the type of smart that is calculating, funny, and annoying - not the reactive, sensitive type. 

He has run a Starter HT and will go BN soon (weather and my move north is the only reason this kid is not already clicking around Novice. Needles has a huge, round jump, excellent conformation and the type of brain that will allow him to excel in dressage, on xc (already good through water, banks, ditches, brush etc...), and out with the hounds. 

Folks say that I have a "type" - here it is.

https://youtu.be/_A6nH9PEw0M?si=cRJDze1nYheRmrPN 

Needles is not a packer and will not be appropriate for a beginner, but a good rider with a trainer will have no problem bringing out the best in this kiddo. In the meantime, he'll steal hearts as efficiently as he steals ballcaps off your head.  

Again, Needles is not one I'm in any rush to sell, but I need to be smarter business wise than I usually am. He is offered at the highly discounted rate of 15k trial fees apply. No offsite trials or leases. 

Oy… this is a hard one to write. I love this 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 last year). 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. 

Before you read any further, he is NOT for sale 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.

So I’m legging him up to hunt and event and see what he thinks. In the meantime, he is for sale to a home 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 is currently priced at 10,000 to go up with further fox hunting / competition experience. I will be picky where he goes so reach out if you think you're a good fit. Located in Bath, NY - on-site trial fees apply (see above)

Ria Formosa, 2019 16.1h OTTB mare with Union Rags and Elusive Quality (Gone West) lines located in Bath, NY

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: yes she is red, yes she is a TB and yes she is a she. However, Ria is not your typical red mare. She has nose contact with geldings both in the stall and in turnout and I haven’t heard a single squeal yet. Sure she flirts, sure she knows she’s pretty and everyone is watching, but she’s not particularly mare-ish. 

On the ground she is well mannered and kind- she likes people and is dare I say light actually be snuggly once she lets down. Under saddle this mare could do anything but I think she’ll turn into a talented, flashy hunter if given the direction. She has flat kneed movement, a lovely neck and a correct way of going that set her up to do well in any discipline.

First Post Track Ride (no shoes - and she needed them): https://youtu.be/Eyo4-g-5nwQ?si=uxbvIPRjsDnge7SE

Based on her first ride and handling her in the barn, Ria is poised to be an uncomplicated restart so would be suitable for an amateur or junior with a knowledgeable trainer. I would love to see this mare at the makeover next year! She is 2025 and 2026 eligible if the rules stay the same. 

Ria ran on Sept 7th so she is still quite tight from the track and very much in need of shoes (you can see the tenderfootedness in the rock dust arena) her feet are good but just need a little support to make the transition off the track. She has a solid record with no discernible breaks in her three running seasons. Her trainer and owner both had nothing but nice things to say about this gal, and she has no vices in the barn or under saddle. 

Ria is listed at 5500 presently, negotiable for an efficient, uncomplicated sale as I am not fully set up to have mares at my current facility. Trial fees apply (see above).

Timber just arrived last week and is settling in well. He loves the big grassy turnout, gets on well with others and has shown just how talented he is under saddle.

https://youtu.be/gIg99Gbq2Lk?si=UwxSgLu4vH18vl4y

This horse is an Eventer- he knows it too. He is powerful, with huge flashy uphill movement the Tiznows are known for. He has all the buttons and is always ready to sit and show off his extended trot. That said, he has some body-based things to work on (low hind hoof angles have caused some body soreness that we are working on remedying).

I haven’t put him over fences yet as I’m just getting to know him but I’ll upload video as soon as I have it. Timber would be suitable for a be run good riding ammie who wants to go fast and do all the things.  But he is strong and forward- this horse is not a packer, nor should he be expected to be a step up horse for someone. He is currently a project with tons of talent for the right home. Despite his age, he’s 100% not done competing or moving up the levels. I‘d love to see him help an ambitious, brave young rider advance with the help of a knowledgable thoroughbred-loving trainer.

Timber is currently 8500$ to increase with training and bringing him back to competition strength. Please reach out for video or more info. Trial fees apply (see above)

Wilson (Rebel Warrior, 16.3+ 2021 OTTB gelding with Medaglia D’Oro and Unbridled Song lines) located in Bath, NY

Alright folks, I rarely think that 3 year olds (and let alone a nearly 17h horse who is rapidly growing are good ammie prospects), but this guy 100% is. His first ride may have been the most lovable one I have done. Does he have his lanky body all together? Nope. But was he willing to let me ride, take a half halt, allow me to put his shoulders back under him and keep a steady rhythm the whole time? Yep. Give him some down town and a whole bunch of calories, and this guy is going to pay you back with being the kindest, nicest horse on the farm. 

First post track ride 8/15: https://youtu.be/RzZY9KIIcP4?si=Y-EVuGYychaJ_3MA

Wilson just raced at Presque Ilse on August 7th and is of course a bit track tight and in need of a whole bunch of calories (we’re working on that and he’s going to hang out and wait to ride again until he has a bunch more pounds on him). He came to me barefoot and sound as he does have really pretty nice feet - but I like shoes and will likely stick him in at least fronts when he is ready to go to work. 

While Wilson is still a wiggly toddler, he loves people. He wants his ears scratched and face rubbed and would rather put his head in your lap than stand tall for a good conformation shot. I had no issue walking him down to the un-fenced outdoor hopping on and going right to work. He got both leads beautifully, and while he’s certainly still figuring out his legs and how to use his body, all the potential and willingness is there. 

He also plunged right through the water without a second thought with my dog sitting right in it. Fox hunters, I feel like I’m getting good at spotting the brain you all need- this one right here!!! But he’ll also be stellar as an Eventer or eq horse. 

Currently priced at 6k to increase with experience and training. Please see above for details on our trial rides, trial fee and buying process. 

leased!!!

Forrest (Don’t Noc It 16.3h 2014 OTTB chestnut gelding with star) 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 lease on-site or off-site 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 engage them, pitch and pull and he’ll just keep chugging along. . 

Forrest stadium at Poplar a few years back: (Reach out for more recent video - I'll get it up soon) https://youtu.be/xKF4UtetxA0?si=XSSdAb79pnXxF1VP

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. 

Forrest is sweet, but he’ll challenge the best of them to keep him in line and quiet off property. AKA do not be lulled into complacency by how easy (and how much you have to kick) he is at home. Anyone who knows this horse will tell you that showing him or riding off property is a much more electric experience.

He’s not sensitive (usually he’s a workout to keep forward), 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 (hock and stifle injections annually).

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.

I will be picky where he goes so reach out if you think you're a good fit. Located in Bath, NY.
