Freddie is an approx. 20-year-old 13.2hh grade cremello gelding.

Freddie is very well broke to ride w/t/c with many buttons. He is super balanced under saddle, and very responsive. He is a cute and confident jumper and has jumped upwards of 2 feet both stadium and cross country this past summer. On the flat Freddie has beautiful transitions, steady movement, lovely circles, and picks up both canter leads. He is a very straight and steady ride, with just the right combination of woah and go. He is suitable for a beginner rider but is also a lot of fun for the more experienced rider.

Freddie is easy to catch, lead, brush, pick feet (although acts stiff at first when picking up right front), saddle, bridle, and mount. He has been trailered lots, loads easily, and stands tied at the trailer. He stands perfectly for the farrier.

We are unsure of Freddie’s breeding but suspect him to be a Fjord cross of some sort due to his build. He has a very short-stride, highly balanced movement, and with his short legs doesn’t cover much ground. He is a great teacher for a beginner rider with his ability to travel steadily at any pace - including canter - without a lot of speed. His transition into the canter is beautiful and easy to ride, although his canter can feel bouncy due to his movement. He is not rushy at all, even when jumping, and never goes too fast, making him easily manageable for a beginner rider.

Freddie is a typical pony with a mind of his own at times. To be transparent he has now and then done little buck or rear protests when asked to do something he doesn’t want to. This rarely happens in an arena, but rather in a large open area when asked to leave his friends. His protests are not hard to ride and have always been resolved by confidently moving him forward to where he needs to go. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to lead him forward or another horse to ride with him.  Interestingly, in our experience with him he has never shown this attitude for beginner riders, it is only when experienced and persistent riders ask him to do something that he doesn’t want to do, such as leave his friends, that he acts up. We have used him as a lesson horse for many beginner riders, both lead line and independent riding in the arena, and he is always a unicorn for them. He is well-broke and knows what he’s supposed to do. He has never bolted.

Freddie is up-to-date on vaccinations, deworming, and farrier. He has nice feet but for rocky riding would need shoes to prevent his walls from cracking or chipping. We have kept him barefoot for arena and pasture work with no issues. Freddie is an easy keeper who gets fat on air, but we have found with regular exercise his weight is easily managed. He has never foundered. Freddie can be bossy with other horses but with time becomes more of a friend than a dictator. :) He shows no indication of his age and does not act like an older fellow, especially in terms of his body score!

Only selling because we have to downsize; he really is a great pony who is lots of fun. A good home is our priority!

Freddie is located at He Loves Me Stables, 10 minutes East of High River. We are asking $5500.

Mario is a 15-year-old 15.3hh bay Quarter Horse/Warmblood gelding.

-broke Western, English, and bareback

-rides out alone or in a group

-easy to catch, brush, saddle, bridle

-UTD on farrier, vaccinations, and deworming

-coming back from ligament injury, currently sound

-more info below

Mario is broke to ride Western, English, and bareback, and has been ridden both in the arena and out on trails. He has a solid build with a lovely well-set neck, and carries himself beautifully under saddle. We have done various things with him from bareback pasture trail rides to kids lead-line lessons and arena drill team work and he is excellent in each. He rides out both alone or with a group with zero issues. In an arena he is more of a push ride, whereas in the pasture he gets more of a pep in his step. He would definitely enjoy being a trail horse.

Mario is easy to catch, brush, saddle, bridle, and mount. He can sometimes take some convincing to pick up his feet but holds them nicely once they’re up and is otherwise excellent to trim. He does have a club foot, but otherwise has solid strong feet. He trailers well, stands tied quietly, and is respectful on the lead.

At this time Mario is only suitable for walk/trot due to a left front ligament strain/injury he had a couple of years ago. We have worked on rehabilitating him from hand-walking all the way up to where he is now and he has progressed phenomenally. He currently shows no signs of unsoundness and with a continuation of this rehab he should be able to walk/trot/canter under saddle without issue. Mario does very well with regular work, and can get stiff otherwise. Due to this injury he will likely never be able to jump or do speed events, but he is a lovely sound pleasure ride with nice movement. Vet reports available for interested buyers, and pre-purchase exams welcome at the buyer’s expense.

Mario is up-to-date on hoof trims, vaccinations, and deworming. He is an easy keeper who can get overweight. We keep him in a dry pen due to our setup but he would do well on limited turnout as well. He has never foundered.

Mario gets along well with other horses and enjoys his equine companions. He has lived alone in a paddock but is much more content with a friend. He is not herdbound, other than a bit of whinnying for his buddies.

Mario is located at He Loves Me Stables, 10 minutes East of High River. We are asking $3000. A good home is our priority.

Bombproof Grade QH Mare  

Dream is a 14.3hh approx. 19-year-old grade Quarter Horse bay mare.

Dream is a very safe ride, broke w/t/c Western, English, and bareback. She is bombproof with zero spookiness and has been a very safe and reliable lesson horse for our program. She is a forward-stepping horse: a good mix of woah and go. In an arena she is completely kid-safe with zero buck, bolt, or rear. She is the kind of horse that can be crawled all over without minding one bit: she can be vaulted onto, ridden double, etc.

Dream has excellent ground manners: easy to catch, lead, tie, brush, pick feet. She stands perfectly for the farrier. She has trailered lots, is great to load, and stands tied quietly at the trailer. Her only fault on the ground is that she is cinchy and gets nippy when being saddled. This is less when outdoors, and once the saddle is on and cinched up, she has no issues with her rider tightening or loosening the cinch again.

Dream has done an extensive amount of trail riding and is a sturdy mount. When coming home, though, she does get prancy. She has also done plenty of English arena work, both with experienced riders and with beginner lesson students. In an arena she can get lazy, and it takes some convincing to get her into the canter.  Otherwise, she is a responsive ride with no silly business for the beginner or experienced rider alike. She has been schooled over small jumps at various Pony Club functions, including a weekend riding camp. She is not a very athletic jumper, but she is willing to please. She is the same horse regardless of where she is. 

Dream is up-to-date on farrier work, deworming, and vaccinations. She has a minor club foot but otherwise excellent feet with solid walls. We keep her barefoot with zero issues.

Dream gets along very well with other horses; if anything she is the one who gets picked on. She is not herdbound, only a bit homebound. :) She has zero issues keeping weight on and gets overweight without exercise.

Dream is located at He Loves Me Stables, 10 minutes East of High River. We are only selling because we have to downsize! Asking $5500.  A good home is our priority!
