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.

In order to find out what your needs are as a rider and what type of horse would be the best match, we prefer to speak to people personally. Emails often leave out a lot of details that are important when determining a good match. Many of our customers are beginner riders, first time horse owners and riders that are getting back to their passion after many years away. In those circumstances, we recommend scheduling a lesson here, so that we may determine what type of horse would be most suitable for your particular level, challenges and aspirations. By getting to know you and your ability in a lesson setting, we will be able to more accurately recommend the horses here that may be 'the one'. If we don't currently have the perfect horse for you we will continue to search for a wonderful match. Please feel free to give us a call at 802-293-5837 to discuss your needs, schedule viewings and lessons.

To further assist you in finding a horse that matches what you are looking for we have put each of our horses into categories that we believe that they are best suited for. We have also given them a rating from 1-3 within those categories.

Rating 1- well started

Rating 2- confident

Rating 3- experienced

Wind Wise Hancock (Barn name Hank) is a Registered Quarterhorse gelding. He is going to be 12 years old in two weeks. He is approx 15.2hh. He is a gorgeous bay roan color. Really stocky and nicely built. This horse is really well broke. He has an additional gait that makes him very comfortable. Walk/trot/pace/canter.

 Dream Copper Hawk is a Registered POA gelding. Copper was foaled on 4/27/2001 so he just turned 8 years old. He is 56 inches or 14hh. Copper will go english or western. He will walk, trot, canter, and back. Copper has really nice comfortable gaits. He is light on the mouth and moves off of leg aids.  He is even learning to neck rein. He has a really nice jump on him and he absolutely loves it. He will jump anything that you point him at.  He is consistent over the jumps. He won't pull you over or get strong over jumps. He is a bit rusty at coming into a nice frame but definitely knows how to do it. Copper was ridden primarily by a 7 year old girl. He is super willing and moves around the ring without the slightest objection.  He is very smart and once he knows what you are asking of him he is happy to do it. He can be ridden on a loose rein and does not need to be held back, however it is not difficult to get him going either. He is great on the trail and would probably be a great cross country pony. He goes through anything on the trail you ask to. You can hold him back while other horses go ahead without him getting upset. He will walk to and from the barn on a loose rein. He is quiet for saddling, grooming, trimming, leading, cross tie, and trailing. He is a really sweet boy that I think could really take someone far in the show ring. He would be excellent for lessons, 4H, pony circuit, hunter jumper, english equitation, etc. $5,500

Diamond is a 7 year old Friesian Sporthorse mare. She is registered with the American Warmblood Society#2002014. Her sire is Danny who is friesian that was imported from Canada (see picture below). Danny's sire was the first friesian who was ever imported into the United States. Her dam is Zipper's April, a registered appaloosa. Diamond is  absolutely beautiful! She was sent away for professional training to be started right before she turned 5 years old. Apparently she had been going walk, trot, canter, and doing some jumping with no issues. After returning back to her owners from training she was not ridden again for 2 years.We are in the process of restarting her. The first time we got on her back after sitting all that time she was a perfect angel. No buck or rear. She is not hot at all. We have ridden her walk, trot, and canter. She is totally laid back and is more woah than go. She has an extremely sweet personality. She loves everyone that will give her attention. She has really nice flowing gaits. We are currently riding her daily on the trail and in the ring. We are asking $5,500 but her price will increase as her retraining continues.

 This is Diamond's Sire Danny.

 T-Valley Danny is our second Friesian stallion who was foaled June 22, l993. He stands 17.2 hands, and weighs 2250 pounds. Danny was imported from Canada. His sire was the great "Barteld",the first Friesian stallion imported into the United States.   Danny will proudly carry on his family line.  Danny has matured into a massive black giant, but a giant with the heart of a puppy. What a lover this boy is. To pet him is to let him crawl into your heart.  Danny is a proud representative of the Friesian breed.  Danny stamps his foals with his big scopy movement and amazing presence.  The foundation of his character lies in his intelligence, willingness to learn and readiness to to perform.  Danny is currently standing to the public to produce the Sport Horse of your dreams.
