Rides english or western. Is registered and lip tatooed (Pyrite Dan) but did not come with papers. He has very good ground manners and is doing great under saddle with no vices. He has attended numerous clinics with me including riding twice with Linda Parelli in her Master Class.  He will make a fantastic low level dressage horse and shows aptitude for hunt/jumper. Does good zone 5 driving, backs off tail, rides well off seat/leg, LOVES water and is good in all three gates. Started carrot stick riding and doing great, jumps barrels, etc. I have been looking and no holes to be found in this nice young prospect.  $6500.00

Sedona

​They don't come much prettier than this.  Big, 15.1 hand 9 yo grade mare.  Was started out and trained by a young girl and has been a family/recreational/trail horse since.  Just started learning some more formal arena skills and she is as smart and trainable as she is easy to look at.  Easy to sit jog, nice trot, smooth lope.

Tucker
13+ hand 18 yo Kentucky Mountain Horse/Welsh Cross gelding

Picture
​Tucker is a 13+ hand 18 yo Kentucky Mountain/Welsh cross gelding. Previously used as lesson horse and senior riding mount. Was off for over 4 years but brushing up nicely and ready for a new zip code with someone to continue riding and enjoying him. Tucker is a pretty confident and bold so will need a little more refreshing work to be ready for timid, real beginner without support, or small kids for independent riding, but he is super friendly, kind, in your pocket horse with a pretty trot and super smooth lope who has been confident on trails. Current on vetting and just had his teeth floated and coggins pulled.

Hayden
15+ hand grade 20 yo QH gelding

Hayden: 20 yo QH gelding, 15+ hands and very well made. Former 4H and youth gaming horse. Excellent light one hand neck rein light and responsive, nice gaits. Would excel with experienced rider for playday versatility, cow work, western dressage, or trail. Rides out alone with confidence, super friendly and personable and tries super hard to please. ​

​​Willow Rider
13.2 hand grade pony mare

Cute little well made grade 13.2 hand mare. Was a family trail and playday horse. Wasn't ridden in a couple years when kids stopped riding, was in the same family her whole life. She is a confident left brained mare with cute movement and could make a good hunt or jump pony or step up playday mount to youth with the right support. Currently getting refresher riding and skill brushup. Learning good bit response and learning to move off leg nicely. Trail and traffic safe. A forward trail horse who rides out alone without issue. Great stand and wait and rides out and back at the same speed. Cute gritty little mare with a strong heart, melt you doe-like eyes, and disposition to match who gets better and better with every ride. Great step up youth playday mount or light riders trail/playday mare.

Sampson

Picture
They do not come a whole lot prettier than this guy.  Sampson is a 14 yo grade red roan sabino paint gelding.  15.1 hands and a very nice conformation with a nice trot and lope that his build would suggest.  Great all round prospect.  Was sitting for a number of years but brushing up really well and ready for someone to enjoy. 

Manchester

This guy is like a little go cart.  I by no means think of horses as power sport toys, but every once in a while you have a horse with as much gas as brake, that is light, forward and fun to ride for someone looking to playday around or explore.  Manchester is a 15 yo grade 14.3 hand cherry red gelding. He is friendly and kind.  Smooth will gait with a little work.  He is a forward moving horse without being hot. Can ride alone, good with cars, traffic, bridges, water. Ponies from 4 Wheeler/gator, used to tractors/skid loaders, geese, ducks, chickens, alpaca, etc but not a beginners horse as he is responsive. Has Natural Horsemanship training and starting hind and fore quarter yields, sidepassing and is good with obstacles/confidence building/desensitizing. Rides bareback halter/leadrope or full tack. Possible endurance mount with conditioning. A husky and well built whose weight should be monitored and grass limited.   ​

Mabel

Mabel is a 19 yo 14.3 hand Quarter Morgan cross mare.  He was a family trail riding and 4H mount for 10 years and has been hanging out as well.  Mabel is somewhat forward but manageable for confident intermediate up and a great leadline mare for my little one.  She has seperation anxiety that is managed well with  knowledgeable owners but might be too much for beginners starting out without help.  Unworked she will get heavy on lush pastures so weight/sugar management is important. Very smooth trot and nice neck rein halter and leadrope or bareback.  Her lope is unbalanced so I just w/t with her.  ​

Rio-Max

​Rio-Max is a super kind hearted quiet 15 yo gelding.  He is low key and low on the totem pole and will enjoy and do well with a kind hearted and soft handed owner.  He is doing well with confidence building and desensitizing and is well broke if abit rusty yet.  He had sharp points that that have been addressed that lead him to resist moving forward when ridden however he is doing wonderfully now with little work.  Nice, easy to sit jog trot and wonderful one handed neck rein to boot.  This boy doesn't have much history behind him I can confirm, however was said to have been a kids camp horse at a time and his neck rein, knowledge of side passing and pivots as well as his saddle whites say someone has spent a good number of hours in the saddle with him.  Videos coming soon.

Frank, grade paint gelding

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq9Rl5C-xEU&t=19s Frank, 14.3 hand grade 13 yo gelding. I have not had a horse this quiet and well unflappably well broke in for quite some time.  He stays broke regardless of how long he is off. You can ride him out of the pasture halter/leadrope without issue. No lunging required. No vices, leads, loads, hauls, ties, clips (even ears without a twitch), washes, trims, vets, rides bareback or full tack, takes the bit, goes through water, trail and traffic safe, rides out alone, has been to horse training clinics, ridden by beginners and amateurs, has professional training buttons on him, but is not reactive. Will go as fast as you push him, not a hot horse at all. Would be an excellent leisurely trail mount, extra husband horse, lesson or youth horse. Western Pleasure jog and lope. Not at all spooky. Low on the totem pole none but gets along with anyone that gets along with him. No stud like behavior whatsoever.

Dudley
kids/light riding mount

Picture
 6 yo 14.3 hand grade QH gelding. Dudley was a ranch horse and is very well broke, quiet, gentle, honest. This is his first day riding in over a year. He is easy to catch, trim, vet, lead, load, tie. Good with chickens, dogs, goats, sheep, 4 wheelers and traffic safe, neck reins. Ride full tack or bareback halter leadrope. No known vices. He did sustain an injury to his right hock which leaves him sound to walk under saddle and would do best in a small paddock and with light riders. I am hoping to find him a good home with a horse knowledgeable family to take good care of him and who he can help bring up another generation of horse riders. Here is a nice young gelding with no dietary restrictions or needs. Excellent feet. Very well broke & quiet/honest but some limited capacities. Would make great kids/grandkids horse to knowledgeable family w/ many years left to give.

​Sweet Leah
​     12 yo 15 hand Draft Cross mare

​This is a big pretty mare with a heart of gold. She was kept as a personal horse to use for friends and family who didn't ride often to be able to playday with me on, however she spends most of her time wondering why she doesn't get more attention, which she loves. So she is being offered to a good home who can give her personalized attention, a better workout program, and who wants to enjoy what she has to offer. Leah is broke to ride and has driven. She has natural horsemanship training and would make a great playday levels horse (Parelli) She is a very centered RBI with a low spirit level. She is super easy to catch, no vices, good with farrier and vet. Nice smooth gaits w/t/c. She has been loafing in pasture much of the past 3.5 years. Great feet, never foundered. Video pulled from pasture and ridden. She is a special mare and selling her will be hard, but I know she has a better someone who can love and play with her more then I can. I would love to see this sweet sweet mare find her special someone who can make her their special someone, too. 
Successfully placed.  We will miss you Sweet Leah but you will be enjoyed and loved at your new home and life changing career.  This sweet mare has a calling and we are super happy and Thankful for the knowledge and expertise of Shelby, Shelia, and HETRA of Omaha, NE on their purchase of their new Therapeutic Riding mare.

​Dodger is a senior gelding rescued from a slaughter kill pen starving this summer.  He has been rehabbed and reconditioned and is ready for a qualified and knowledgeable equine home to share in the rescue effort or teach horse/animal husbandry while getting the gift a quiet and well broke senior gelding can offer with paybacks in lead line and off line lessons for kids just starting out riding.  Dodger adoptable with fee neg. as him getting the best home possible is a priority over recouping expenses.  Dodger will need all general equine requirements, ie quality and ample hay, water, shelter, companionship, and proper turn out as well as senior requirements of complete feed (equine seniors) and most likely continued mash/beat pulp/alfalfa cubes to allow for more intake when off grass in winter (he does great on grass). $$ Neg 

Rooster, 18 yo grade gelding

Rooster is a good hearted little horse with allot to offer.  14.1 hands He is kind and gentle and was used by previous owner as a play-day horse for a variety of her children.  He has a nice little Jog Trot and slow and smooth pleasure type lope but can extent both as well.  He would make an excellent 4H horse for a teen rider or step up horse/pony for an advancing youth with some riding guidance at home. Rooster is a fun horse to work with and will make someone really happy.  Could also be a light adult riders trail horse as he is calm and willing and has such easy to sit gaits and is an absolute natural on the trail.  Has been ridden by a number of beginners/intermediate riders on trail rides. Very traffic safe, crosses water, and will lead or follow.

Braveheart
      9 yo grade gelding

​Braveheart (for his heart on his right shoulder) is a super solid and stocky grade paint gelding. 14.1 hand and most certainly stout enough for both youth and adult riders. He is a confident horse and enjoys being played with. Previously used as a kids play-day gelding. He has been pastured the last year and is currently in refresher riding and doing well. Rides off seat and neck reins well. Rides bareback bridleless. LOVES Equine Soccer. Suspect he would enjoy love level cow work, sorting, penning, etc. Rides out alone confidently on trail and comes home on a loose rein the same speed. Nice big stout quiet and social gelding. 
Placed!  Wishing you great success and happiness with Braveheart and him with you Dale, Wendy, Janet and Riding Program at Hold Your Horses.  

Sadie

Would make good lesson or youth camp horse again or beginner or step up mare for horse oriented and experienced family looking to get youth involved in horses....

She is sound at w/t for youth and light/average adult rider but don't want to place her where she is always taxed. Likes pasture but is good in stall too, no cribbing or weaving. Good teeth. Has good coat of hair but no cushings, good feet, though small as she was a shod show horse, and is mid on the totem pole. Cross ties, leads, loads, washes, grooms, with ease.

Has been ponied and been ponied off from.  Jan is a mare that stays broke.  She was not ridden or worked with much in the last year and a half due to family circumstances and I rode her off first day home bareback, halter, and lead rope walk, trot, lope, like we didn't miss a beat.  Kind mare who is fun to ride and work with.  Well Built and pretty colored.  Very soft eye. Could make great all round horse.

-Val, Reg. ApHA '03 gelding Avalon Whatta Dream

Val is a 14.3 + hand red dun gson of Dreamfinder.  He is very people friendly and kind without being pushy or demanding.  Val was used up to 2010 as a trail and overnight camp horse.  I worked with him in 2010 using Natural Horsemanship and placed him in a home that continued that in training, on the ground, and by doing obstacle and trail riding.  Due to owner injury (non-horse related) Val is again looking for a good family type using home.  He is a glorified trail horse with the ability to do more and LOVES pushing the ball (I'll try to get videos soon) and will track and auto correct to push it on his own all around the arena and 'Box' it in the corners or at the wall.  I think he would love playing with cows!

Val has been ridden on many state trails.  He is sound and healthy, honest and trustworthy.  He is forgiving and tries hard to please.  More current pics and videos available as well as many from 2010 as well.  

**Update** ApHA papers only go back 2 generations and he unknowingly had/has Impressive in his background on the dams side.   I just pulled a mane sample for genetic testing on him and he did come back one gene HYPP (test results n/h).  He has never shown sign nor symptom.   $2500 Neg. to good fitting home.

-Blaze Sonny Mountain Rose,
                2001 APHA mare- listing for a client

"Blaze" is available for a Friend/Client located in Afton, MN. She is a registered APHA Breeding stock Dun mare and boarding situation requires her a quick sale. She is well broke and will ride off your seat and guides well if you know how to ride with them, and will plow rein if you don't. Neck or direct rein. Rides halter leadrope bareback or string on the neck as well as full tack. Cross ties, ties, desensitized. Smooth gaits. Blaze is sound however does have mild heaves so looking for a relatively easy lifestyle home where she will can have a nice pasture in the summer time and clean hay in the winter time.  She will do best in rough board (not stalled).  She is not on any medications. She is currently in a small lot without access to pasture and owner is motivated to sell her to assure her nicer housing and pasture that will not be available to her there. Her previous owners used her for trail and camp riding. She has sat most of the fall/winter. Videos show her with only a handful of riding/refresher sessions. .  Blaze does occasionally shy from a rope, etc. the ground in front of her.  I think this is a simple training issue but will occasionally get weary of something on the ground in front of her. The desensitizing video is her second time with the tarp, and you can see that she is kind and tries hard, so not a difficult horse but for this reason, a timid beginner is likely not her best match without additional brush up riding however a confident beginner with some support or intermediate rider should be fine.  She did sit for a number of years prior to her current owner purchasing her as well so she should only get better with additional use.

SG Power House, '92 APHA gelding

Hank, 22 year old reg. APHA Gelding.  I had the privilege of working/playing with Hank in 2009.  He was sold and became a 14 yo beginner riders first horse.  She is in collage now and I took Hank on again to help him find another home/partner or family to enjoy.  Hank is a good natured boy.  Was a fabulous trail horse for me in '09 and helped the young rider he stayed with have confidence on trails.  He was to have previously done some cow work, but to what extent I don't know.  Was also ridden out west on a several week long hunting tip with previous owners.  He does have a few blemishes that come with some work and age, but is solid built, in excellent weight and health, fresh off a power float, and trim, and sound.  He is easy to catch, stands excellent for tacking, and rides as well bareback halter/leadrope as he does full tack.  Not a deadhead and is a stocky boy, so timid beginners likely not his best match, however intermediate or confident beginner with good help/support should do well with him.

Smokie
    Senior (25+/-) pony gelding

Smokie is a sweet and gentle senior rescue gelding.  He has had a number of inexperienced horse owners in his recent past but shows allot of knowledge and training and it is evident that someone took good care of this little pony at one time. He is broke to ride but I am hoping to find him a low key home with pony rides/lead line occasionally as opposed to regular working that he should be able to retire from. He is sound and walks, trots, lopes free and easy at pasture at will however does have one larger front knee, likely a degree arthritis but has not shown issue, even in the cold. He is good with kids, dogs, cars, traffic, and has been pastured with cattle in the past. Been ridden by my 5 yo nephew. Just had his teeth power floated and has good teeth with none missing. No need for special mash, just good quality feed. Current on farrier work (stood like a champ), 5 way, and worming.

PLACED! Thank You Norbert and Deb for your purchase of Katie (Snickers) and Rain.  I am sure the two of you will make great riding partners and I wish you many happy trails together.  Excited to have another great horse going to another Natural Horsemanship home. 

Fancy Lenas Magic '08 APHA Breeding Stock Buckskin mare

Gentle mare with allot of try.  Was trail ridden extensively by previous owner including many state trails.  Loves people.  Classy solid buckskin mare that could do open shows or continue as a quiet trail partner.  Very nice and easy smooth lope.  Is riding full tack and bareback halter leadrope.  Aveda has had an excellent foundation and is very eager to learn.  She has the mentality of a much more mature horse and unlimited ability.  Neck reins well, is working off leg pressure, yields hind and front quarters and is soft mouthed and sided without being too responsive. 

Sold.  Congratulations Holly and Thank You for giving Aveda a great Parelli home.
PLACED-  Thanks Holly of Forest Lake, MN for giving Aveda a Great Parelli Home.  I am sure you will do great things together!

Breeze- 2013 Percheron/QH Cross

Big classy filly that is forward and confident.  Very big floaty movement.  Will make excellent Dressage Prospect.  Will be tall.  (Will come one year sometime in March) Straight and correct.  Doing general ground work/haltering now.  Price may increase in spring with additional work.  Looking for good home with experience or trainers to help develop a young horse.  I don't want her to fall through the cracks.  Nice filly, nothing wrong with her, just young with a big future for the right person.  3/4 brother to Jake Below. 








Jake- 2013
Percheron/QH Cross

Sweetheart of a colt.  Will be Big.  A July 2013 baby but shows allot of structure and height.  (Full 4 months younger then his big sister!)  Has been gelded and is friendly and social.  Hauled excellent for vet, in both slant load step up and 2 horse straight/ramp.  Very smart colt that follows his sister around but you can see individual sparkle in him, just needs a chance to shine. 
SOLD- This sweet duo will be staying together and playing with Lisa in a Wonderful Parelli home near Madison, WI.  Thank You Lisa.  I am sure you will love these two and they will love you!
