"CUERVO"

A gorgeous and talented Palomino gelding with a mind of gold!

Wow, what can I say about Cuervo beside I really love this horse! Every now and then an outstanding horse comes along and this is one of them. I have ridden this horse since last summer and he's gentle, smart, talented and can go any direction that you ask him. I have taken my time with this horse and treated him like my own. He's NEVER grumpy or tells you that he doesn't want to do something. This horse has a wonderful disposition and is always eager to please. Originally ranch broke and out of Texas. I have brought him along slowly and did everything right on him. He is super light in the bridle, bends, flexes, sidepasses, picks up both leads easily, and has a great stop. He is soft and supple in the bridle in just an o-ring. I have hauled Cuervo everywhere I have went over the last 5 or 6 months so he has been exposed to everything. Cuervo is built rock solid with big bones and a large foot. Never taken a bad step, this horse is as sound as they come and built to last. Sure footed and great in the rocks. He is a pleasure to be around, his ground manners are excellent. He is an easy keeper and has NO bad habits or vices. Not cinchy, doesn't kick, bite or buck; not spooky. Loads and hauls great, clips, bathes, ties, shoes, and gets along with other horses great. Again, there are NO holes in this horse. I've been around him every day since last summer and he is the real deal. 5 Years old, 15.1 hands, 1200 lbs. "A mind of gold" - That's what Ed Wright had to say about Cuervo at his barrel clinic! Started on the barrels, he's patterned and ready to add speed. Make him your next super star! $10,000

Update! I entered Cuervo today for the first time at the NBHA Jingle Bells Race at Horseshoe Park in Queen Creek. Cuervo did absolutely awesome and was just 1.4 seconds off of the fast time. This horse has tons of potential, I have not yet asked him for any speed at all. He is just cruising through the pattern!

Freckles Playboy and Docs Oak on his papers!

What a nice well bred horse! Scooter is 8 years old, 15 hands, weighs approximately 1000 lbs, and wears a #1 shoe. This is a sweet little horse that is pleasure to ride. He has a super smooth lope, and is pretty much on auto pilot to lope circles on. Picks up leads and does flying lead changes. He has an amazing one stride walk to lope/canter. I have ridden this horse all around the city, he is quiet from passing joggers, traffic, bicycles, quads doing donuts, barking dogs, crossing rail roads tracks and bridges. I have only had him be startled by one thing and he just flinched in place. He's friendly, nice to be around, stands quietly for just about anything you want to do. I don't think he had ever been clipped before, but adjusted to it well. Good to shoe. He has a nice disposition, very willing, never grouchy or grumpy, not barn sour or buddy sour. Rides real honest. Has stood here stalled for 10 days without being ridden or turned out and rode the SAME without round penning or lunging. He has a decent handle on him and he's easy to ride. Will go English or Western. He has clean legs and is sound. No vices or issues. Not a complete dead head. Suitable for a confident beginner (or better) level rider. $3000

Sunny is a sweet little Palomino gelding that is 6 years old and 14.1 - 14.2 hands tall.

He is currently barefoot and is barefoot sound. Not an overly friendly or in your pocket type of horse, but good to be around. Sunny rides quiet both in the arena and on the trail. The girls have ridden him up to the Gilbert Rodeo Grounds for practice on Thursday nights and he is fine around the commotion. We all have ridden him out around the neighborhood and city stuff with no issues. He is not spooky, great around traffic. He is brave and will lead the way. I enjoy riding this horse. He's got a good disposition and is just a nice horse to ride and be around. Doesn't seem to freshen up at all. Suitable for an advanced beginner level (or better) rider. $2200

"HOT SHOT"

Awesome All Around gelding!

Take a look at this nice horse, Hot Shot has done a little bit of everything! He's SUPER quiet on trails, been used as a rodeo pick up horse, used on the ranch to sort and doctor cattle on, Team Penned, and is Patterned and the Barrels and Poles with no gate issues! This horse is a real pleasure to be around, nothing bothers him. Awesome on trails! I feel safe on this horse, and have from the first day he was here. He has been hauled and has seen the sites. He stands perfectly quiet at the trailer or anywhere you put him and will stand quietly for anything you want to do. Perfect to bathe, groom, clip, tack up, mount, and gets in the trailer on his own - Just point him in that direction and he will go get in. Hauls great. He is broke and has a good handle on him. Automatic lead changes. Please take a look at the video below. It was unrehearsed. The flag, bridge, and trail riding sections were all taken on his first day out in a strange place. It was windy out and he was perfect by all the traffic, even a car going through the noisy car wash didn't bother him! He rode just as quiet at night in the dark as he does in the day. The arena video is how he rides when you just step on. There was no warming up before I made the videos. NO buck, NO vices, NOT cinchy, NOT spooky at all. Doesn't seem to freshen up. Just a solid horse. I have rode this horse pretty hard, he is 100% sound and has clean legs. No barn sour issues, goes out in a group or by himself. Easy to catch, nice to be around, gets along with other horses well. Not grouchy or grumpy, has a willing disposition. This horse has great ground manners and is gentle for anyone. However, Hot Shot has a big motor under him and he is very responsive. He is a forward moving horse and a free runner on the barrels and poles and needs a rider that is comfortable on a forward horse. He is NOT suitable for less experienced rider because of this. He will adapt to your riding style, meaning if you want to the run the barrels on him he will be hot, if you want to just trail ride he will mellow out and walk. Hot Shot is 12 years old, 15.1 hands, 1156 lbs, and wears a #1 shoe. This is a super nice horse and one of my favorites to ride. $3500

"JC"

A good solid horse! 17 years young, 15 hands, super gentle and sound. JC is just one of those good old ranch horses that has been there and done that. He simply has not done anything wrong since he's been here. He ties and stands quietly for anything you want to do including grooming, bathing, farrier, clipping, mounting, and tacking up. Great ground manners, gentle to be around. He rides quiet enough for beginner level riders with no need to round pen or longe before you ride him. I have let many different kids ride JC, including kids that are beginner level riders. This horse is sound and healthy. He was thin when he came off of the ranch but is gaining weight quickly just on a normal amount of hay with no additional supplements. He is currently being ridden barefoot and is sound. A super nice horse for the price! $1450

Video of JC with a beginner level rider on him. This is one of my neighbors, she has ridden a horse about 15 times.

Awesome Bay and White Paint gelding. Goes English or Western!

7 years old, 15 hands tall. Gorgeous with a blue eye! Playboy went to his first show on September 20th, 2009 at Horse Lovers Park. He won 2nd place in Hunter Under Saddle Equitation and two 4 ths in the cross rails division! Playboy stood completely quiet at the show, didn't care if he was around another horse or by himself, wasn't bothered by anything. This is a real nice horse that stands QUIET for bathing, brushing, clipping, grooming, tacking up and mounting. He is friendly and likes people, excellent ground manners, not skittish, but not rude or too in your pocket either. Ties, has never tried to pull back. Not cinchy. He rides quiet around the neighborhood, large events with lot's of commotion, and out on desert type trail rides. He will ride off out around the neighborhood with no barn sour or buddy sour issues. The girls have crossed bridges on him, crossed major roads, ridden him up to the gas station and the Water and Ice store. We have ridden him out in the San Tan Mountains and at the Salt River. He crosses water, and was perfectly quiet when kayak's paddled right up to him. Stayed real quiet when a horse next to him was rearing and acting up. Stayed very quiet when hauled to Horseshoe Park and ridden around the barrel race, bull riding and team roping. He picks up his leads with no issues. He will easily load into any kind of trailer (including 2 horse side by sides) and hauls great. Walks out fast and doesn't feel lazy pleasure riding; but a little lazy when it comes to top end speed. He is real gentle but not a dead head. I would recommend him best suited for a novice level rider. This is a super nice horse that is a 100% sound with NO vices, a great disposition, and the perfect age. He's a real head turner and will catch the judges eye. What more could you ask for? $4750

We Team Sort on Troy, Team Rope, Barrel Race, haul him to horse shows and he WINS. Troy is a lot more athletic than I ever had thought he would be. This is a great horse that has an awesome disposition and a huge heart. He stays honest, never tries to cheat you, and always tries to please his rider. All you have to do is ask Troy to do something for you, and he gives you 100%. He trailers well, I have hauled him everywhere. This horse has proven himself to me time and time again. I like this horse too much to give him away for a too low price. It would take 3 or 4 horses to do what you can on this one horse. Gentle for a beginner level rider but best suited for a good Novice level rider - he is not a dead head and very forward moving. This horse likes to compete and is too competetive on the barrel pattern for a beginner level rider. Has a current coggins. $4500 FIRM

What can I say about this horse? This may be the first horse that I have ever had in my lifetime that I can't find one single thing about him that I dislike. - Not kidding. This is one of the nicest horses that has ever came through my hands. Possibly the nicest. This horse is 14 years old, 15.2 hands and will weigh 1250 lbs. He is broke, broke, broke, and has a wonderful disposition. He is friendly, but not overly to where he is in your space. He stands quietly for anything you want to do and will ride in any kind of bridle. He belongs to a friend of mine who is one heck of a hand and ropes professionally. He has rode this horse outside, gathered and doctored cattle on him. This horse has been hauled all over the place and rodeo'd on. He's been there, done that, and is SOUND. He was a big time head horse that sold for $40,000 but has got bad in the box. Lenny's point of view, he doesn't want to be a rope horse anymore but will do anything else you ask. Super, super quiet on trails. Doesn't matter if he is fresh or the wind is blowing, just step on him and go. He has NO buck or bad habits or vices or any kind. Anyone can ride this horse. He's broke, takes his leads, does flying lead changes, roll backs, will turn around, and slide to a stop. Get off and he will follow you around all day. He has clean legs, no blemishes. What more can I say about this horse other than I love him and you will too! $5500

"KOBALT"

Sold 3/2009

Tall, dark, and handsome!

Kobie is a very noble and flashy 10 year old Draft cross gelding! He is being schooled and progressing very well under dressage and English pleasure training. He stands at 17 hands and weighs in at just about 1,600 pounds! This horse belongs to my best friend, and I have personally been around this horse throughout the year in all types of different situations. Kobalt is handsome, sturdy, quiet, and only offered for sale since the husband just isn't riding enough to justify keeping him. Kobie has been used as a "husbands horse" for the past year and a half and has been hauled to numerous trail rides and camping trips all over the state. You can hop on this horse even after a month or more of not riding and have a smooth and easy ride. He is broke to ride on the flat, free of riding vices, and he is also trained to drive single or double. Kobie rides smoothly in just a regular smooth snaffle and no special training or riding devices. No need for round penning or lunging. He is a joy to ride either English or Western and would be a great dressage prospect with his smooth canter, floating trot, and easily extended and collected gaits. Kobie would be suitable for a novice level rider. He is indeed a gentle giant, but would be best in a home with someone who is confident in handling a horse of his size. Kobalt brings a whole new meaning to "tall, dark, and handsome!" Ride this horse and you are sure to get noticed! $8500 Sale price $7500!

"HUSTLERS EASY GAL"

aka "FLY"

2004 APHA Mare #809705

A super nice Black and White Paint mare!

I have known this mare for almost 2 years. She has been started right and rides nice and quiet. She is soft in the bridle, flexes, breaks at the poll, sidepasses, and picks up her leads. The nicest thing that I like about this mare is she doesn't act "marish"; she never squeals, kicks, or acts witchy to the other horses. She has been started on cattle and is just started to be slowly patterned on the barrels. She is 14.3 hands tall and is 4 & 1/2 years old. She has been ridden out on many trail rides all over Arizona and stays real quiet in a big group. I am now using this mare in my lease program and she will be ridden on trail rides across Arizona almost every weekend. This is a super nice mare that has her whole life ahead of her. She is best suited for a Novice (or better) level rider.

"HOT ROD"

Sold 3/16/2009

An outstanding Quarter Horse gelding!

Well, I really hate to list this one, but the economy stinks and I've got to cut back my herd. Hot Rod is an 11 year old bay gelding that is 15.1 hands tall. I have personally owned this horse for the last year and sure hate to see him go. This is a jam up, do anything on kind of horse. You can team rope, run barrels, team pen, go to playdays, go camping, or just pleasure ride down the trail. Ride him English, Western, or bareback, it doesn't matter. Hot Rod is super broke, picks up his leads, rides between the reins and can really stop. This horse is really gentle and super quiet on trails, both in the city around traffic and out in the desert or mountains. He is not spooky on trails. He has NO bad habits or vices of any kind He loads easily and hauls great and stands quietly to brush, groom, bathe, clip, shoe, tack up and mount. Does not freshen up if he's not ridden for a long time; rides the same every time. This horse has never spooked at anything on a trail ride since I have had him. He is quiet at large events around all of the commotion. Please take a look at Hot Rod's video, the video speaks for itself. The day I took this video Hot Rod hadn't been ridden for over a week and I just got on bareback with a halter and rode to Circle K. I was totally at ease and so was Hot Rod. This horse is going to best suited for someone that knows how to ride; he's really gentle but has a big motor under the hood and you need to know what buttons to push. This is the kind of horse that is hard to find - gentle, good looking, sound and sane, and he's a performance horse too! $7500 Sale price $6500!

All of the pics below were taken last winter when Hot Rod had not been blanketed and had his winter coat.

aka "Suzy Q"

1999 AQHA Buckskin mare #3879089

"TITAN"

Sold 2/2009

A rock solid horse!

Titan is a 20 year old gelding that is just an awesome horse! Titan is 15.3 hands and 1275 lbs. This is a big, stout gentle horse that is big boned and wears a #3 shoe! He is gentle for almost any level rider and will do just about anything you ask. This horse has had a ton of ranch work and cattle roped off him, been on trails all over the place, and even knows the barrels. He's a good old honest horse that would make a lady a great quiet and level headed trail horse; or a great guy for a kid to poke around on. I had previously listed this horse for sale and liked him so much I decided to keep him for my leasing program and for the kids to run barrels (gymkhana and ESPBRA) on. He is quiet and level headed around the barrels - but has go and ran a 21.0 barrel pattern. However, Titan has too much age for my hard use. After practicing barrels on him everyday, and him being ridden daily on long rocky rides, he got sore in his front end. I have the opportunity to take this horse back to the ranch, but before I do would love to see him put in an appropriate home where he can teach a kid how to ride or pack granny around the yard! This horse isn't old and used up, just needs the appropriate job as a pleasure horse. I am being upfront about his soreness, so you if want a horse for barrels or hard use this is not him. Titan is ready for a slow, easy life and I hope he gets a great home. He does not require any special shoeing or care, although I am sure he could benefit from supplements.

Come out and see Titan, if he's what you are looking for and you will give him an appropriate home, I will guarantee him or your money back. Offered to the right home only $600 Sale

An awesome gaited mare!

What an exotic looking mare! Saphira has a 29" long mane and a 22" long forelock! This mare has rode quiet every time that we have ridden her. Saphira is 12 years old and 14 hands tall. This mare can stand for very long periods of time and always rides gentle and quiet with no round penning or lunging. She does not freshen up. We have taken Saphira out fresh and ridden on her on large group trail rides and she is always perfect. Doesn't care if she's first or last in a large group. This mare will walk out at a normal speed or can really cover some country if you ask her to gait. She is a real pleasure to ride out on trails. We have ridden Saphira English, Western, and bareback. Saphira has lot's of trail experience and even some ranch experience! She stands quietly for just about anything you want to do and has no bad habits or vices. She has thrown a beautiful foal out of a Quarter Horse Stallion, and had no problems foaling. She has very quiet heat cycles, in fact I never even can tell when she comes in season unless my stud is around - he tells me :) This mare has been barefoot on all of our rides and is barefoot sound.

"KAYTO"

Sold 1/31/2009

Peruvian Paso gelding!

Kayto is a Peruvian Paso gelding that is fun to ride! He is 11 years old and 14.1 hands tall. Kayto has been used for trail riding and camping trips all over Arizona, and few competitive rides. For those of you with bad backs or just looking for a smooth ride, gaited horses are the way to go. These horses are unlike any breed that I have ever owned and they definitely have "Brio".

The definition of Brio from Wikipedia is: "Brio" refers to a horse’s vigor, energy, exuberance, courage and liveliness; it automatically implies that these qualities are willingly placed in the service of the rider. Horses with true brio are willing workers. Their attention does not wander but is focused on the handler or rider, and thus they are quick to react and fast to learn. Horses with brio attract attention, and combined with the stamina of the breed have reserves they can tap to travel long distances for many hours. Breeders and judges look for Brio, often translated as "spirit," but this does not capture the complexity of the term. Brio describes a somewhat contradictory temperament, which combines arrogance, spirit, and the sense of always being on parade, with a willingness to please the rider. Brio is an intangible quality of controlled energy that creates a metamorphosis in ordinary-looking horses and is an important trait of the Peruvian Paso."

Kayto is a nice gentle horse, but has the liveliness of a Peruvian Paso, and would be best suited for a novice level rider. This horse was very fresh when I got him and can stand for long periods of time and still ride the same without round penning or any longing. He is a kind horse that rides gentle. He has NEVER done anything bad since I have been around this horse. I don't think he has any buck what so ever, and he is a very kind horse. He has been barefoot for years and does not need shoes. I took Kayto on our camping trips over the summer at Groom Creek and the Houston Mesa Horse Camps. - Kayto was excellent! Doesn't care if he is first or last in a large group, and rides perfect. He will walk at whatever speed the other horses are going, or gait if you want him to. He is always a pleasure to be around and ride. I have let friends who were advanced beginner riders ride Kayto with no problems - even when he is fresh and has not been ridden for some time. We have even used Kayto for Team Sorting and he was excellent! All of my friends who ride this horse love him. This breed of horse gaits naturally and does not require any special training to gait. This horse is fun, fun, fun to ride! Sale price $2650

"BUSTER"

Sold 1/28/2009

A great confidence builder!

A super gentle bay gelding. 12 years old, 15 hands tall. Super smooth little lope! This horse is gentle for any level rider and is best suited as a pleasure trail horse. If you are looking for a horse for speed events or for one that moves out into a lope easy, Buster's probably not the horse for you. He is a bit on the lazy side and prefers slow gaits. He doesn't not lag behind on group rides though and will walk out nice and fast on group rides. This horse is about as gentle as they get and would be a great confidence builder! He is currently being ridden by many different kids and beginner level riders and is always great. He has been ridden here at the house on fun days doing gymkhana type events and team sorting and stays nice and quiet. He takes some encouragement to lope but is a great confidence builder. Buster was ridden on our Poker ride at Usery pass with over 20 horses and he was perfect. He is sure footed and good in all types of terrain. He doesn't care if he is first or last in a large group and always stays quiet. Buster will stand quiet for just about anything you want to do. No bad habits or vices. He has great hooves and is currently being ridden barefoot with no problems. This horse came off of the ranch really underweight but is filling up very quickly. He gets better everyday, he's a real diamond in the rough. Suitable for beginner level riders. $2450!

A cute little black pony!

Video 1

Video 2

Rascal is 7 years old, 13.3 hands tall and weighs about 800 lbs. He is a sweet little pony that was ranch broke and rides great! He is very soft in the bridle and has a light mouth. He is very well broke and easy to ride. I would highly recommend this little to guy for an awesome little gymkhana or jumper pony! He is very willing and not lazy. Seems to be very eager to please and loves arena work and patterns! Never grumpy, grouchy, or resentful. He is a smart little horse that learns patterns very quickly. He rides real honest and is not barn sour or buddy sour at all. He will neck rein or direct rein and has very smooth gaits. He has clean legs and great feet! He is currently ridden barefoot and his hooves are hard and look great. He will go English or Western and is the kind of horse that tries to please.

"POKEY"

Sold 1/2009

A great confidence builder!

Sorrel gelding, 11 years old and 15.1 hands tall. Pokey rides quiet and gentle for any level rider, including beginners! He is quiet in the arena, on trail rides around the neighborhood, and on large group trail rides out in the mountains. This horse has been ridden by a beginner level rider through the neighborhood in city conditions and near traffic with no problems. The girls have ridden Pokey all over including up to Wendy's Restaurant and the Gilbert Days Rodeo & Carnival. Pokey stayed quiet around all of the commotion of the large event, loud speakers, 1000's of people and even the carnival rides! He will walk out fast on group rides; doesn't lag behind. I have noticed that Pokey is very slow with less experienced riders, but will move out into a trot or lope with a more confident rider. He definitely prefers slower gaits over fast ones, therefore he would be best suited as a pleasure trail horse. Pokey takes quite a bit of encouragement to lope, unless you have a rope or are sorting cattle and he will move out easy! He tons of ranch and cattle experience, and we have had a lot of fun using him for team sorting! This is a nice quiet horse with a sweet personality and disposition. I trust this horse to put kids or beginner level riders on him, he has never done anything bad and has no vices. He stands quietly for just about anything you want to do; shoe, clip, bathe, tack up, and mount. Stands quietly next to a mounting block. Loads and trailers good. He gets along with other horses very well. This horse came off of the ranch thin but is gaining weight very quickly. He looks better every day. A great confidence builder! Suitable for beginner level riders. Up to date on shoeing, vaccinations, and deworming. Sale price $2350

Sold 1/2009

I love this horse and will highly recommend him!

Max is only 7 years old and has zero spook factor! This horse is rock solid to ride around the neighborhood, dogs, traffic, bicycles, you name it he's passed all the tests. Max drops his head, lines out and walks out nice and fast. He is very well broke and has a good neck rein. I totally trust this horse spite his young age. Take a look at the video of Max and the trash bag, and rain slicker. This video was unrehearsed, and he was not desensitized in advance. Max has no bad habits or vices. He stands quietly to bathe (even wash his face), groom, clip, shoe, and tack up. He loads easily in my trailer and hauls great. Max is wonderful around the neighborhood and out on mountain / desert type terrain. He is sure footed and good in the rocks. He will step over obstacles like logs and step through gates and not jump. Max does not care if he is first or last in a large group of horses, and will also go out easily by himself. He is not barn or buddy sour, and rides honest. This horse is completely gentle for any level rider, but is also not a dead head. Max is responsive and will move out into a trot or lope willingly. This horse has a little athletic ability therefore making him a great all around horse that you can do just about anything on - trail, team pen, rope, timed events, you name it! This is a super nice, calm quiet horse, that is well broke. He picks up his leads and will do flying lead changes. He drops his head and responds nicely to the bit, and backs up well. This is the kind of horse you can jump on bareback with a halter and ride him around the neighborhood. Suitable for advanced beginner level riders. 15.2 hands tall, thick bone structure and nice big hooves. This horse is built to last. $4000 Sale price $3500
