Here’s an exciting opportunity to own a big, beautiful, and imported Belgian Warmblood gelding. I would like to introduce you to Kokomo. He was born 8/5/2010 making him almost 14 years old. He stands 16.3hh. He has incredible breeding, we have included a photo of his lineage. Kokomo has been used for everything from dressage to trails and teaching new riders the ropes of English riding. Kokomo has a puppy dog disposition. He has great manners on the ground and adores people. He plays very well with the other horses and ponies outside as well. Kokomo has a beautiful uphill build making him a fantastic dressage mount. He has a ground covering walk, floaty but yet smooth trot, and a balanced, rhythmical and adjustable canter. His gaits are all comfortable and adjustable. Overall he’s more woah than go. He is extremely soft through the pole, and rides in a happy mouth. He moves on and off of seat and leg pressure without being too sensitive for the average rider. Kokomo loves to go exploring. He will ride out alone or on a group and when you hit the woods he prefers you relax and ride on the buckle. He will mosey around and through woods, water, open fields, and back roads. He’s not reactive or spooky. He’s the same way in a new barn or show ring. You do not have to spend anytime preparing him, as he will march right around a new environment as if he’s been there his whole life. He recently taught his rider the ropes of hunters competing in cross poles and 2ft stuff. He keeps a consistent rhythm through a course. His owner has moved on to new interest not involving horses. With that being said Kokomo is on the hunt for his new person. He would make a stellar horse to teach new riders hunters, dressage, or just that all around family horse to hit the trails and enjoy a fun ride. We also think he would make a great hunt horse, or event horse. He’s done several paces and loves open country.

Here is a very special girl that we absolutely adore! She was born and raised on our family’s farm. Ember is as sweet as can be and as cute as a button. She is a pure bread section A welsh pony out of imported stock. She will mature at 12.2hh. Ember is 4 years old. She is a pretty chestnut with a white blaze. Ember is a joy to ride and currently working in our lesson program. The kiddos love riding her and is a favorite for many of our students. Ember has a nice quiet walk, a floaty flat kneed trot,  and the most delightful canter. She knows both her leads and has been very lightly started over fences. She rides a snaffle bit and is soft in the mouth and has great breaks! Ember has great ground manners and you can catch her anywhere in the field. We think Ember would make an excellent small hunter pony. In fact, many of her siblings have had very successful careers as hunters on the MHJA and USEF circuits. She would also make a great addition to any lesson program or family pony!
