Horses for Sale

The relationship between horse and owner is, for many, one that is very important!  There is a special bond that happens between the true horse lover and their special 4 legged friend, companion and cohort. Our goal is to discover what you dream of in a horse and what challenges you may face within horse ownership and determine whether we have a horse that fills those needs.We also work with the new partners to develop a support system (if needed) after you leave the Ranch, which greatly aids in a successful transition.  

It is so sad to see horses passed from owner to owner simply because they were not properly matched.  Both parties suffer from the failed relationship, but the horse has little control over what happens next.  We want to do as much as we can to create a happy placement for both Horse and Owner.

 
You can see all of our horses currently for sale below which is updated regularly. Don't forget to visit our "Horses Sold" page to see some happily matched horses and riders, and to sign our guestbook. You can also visit our website at the bottom of the page to learn more about our ranch, trail rides, and ride & stay packages.

Dakota is a beautiful sorrel quarterhorse. He is 12 years old and is registered with AQHA. He is approx 15.3hh. He is great to work around. Not spooky; you can do anything on his back. He will go english or western. W/T/C. Jumps 3ft with no problem. Will go much higher. This horse will stop on a dime. He has perfect ground manners. He ties, bathes, clips, stands to pick up feet, easy to catch, and get along great in the herd. He is very friendly and is often the first one to the gate. He is a very flashy horse and would turn heads in a show ring. Would excel in any discipline however I believe he would make a great jumper or gymkhana horse. Asking $3000.
