🎁 Big Ben 🎁 7 years old 16.1hh Grade Draft X Gelding SOLD

*READ ENTIRE AD*

Ben is a really classy young gelding with his whole entire life ahead of him! He has been started correctly and has a fantastic base W/T/C and wonderful “Whoa”. He’s light in your hands, moves off of leg and voice commands, and stands to be mounted. He’s been trail ridden alone and with others and has always been a gentleman with me.

Ben rides both English and western, and I think he would excel in really any discipline. He’s a total puppy dog on the ground. Loves to be brushed, picks up his feet fantastic. Loads right up on the trailer and travels like a gem. Not a crazy hard keeper, eats minimal grain and first cut hay. Whoever ends up with him is going to be insanely lucky!

He has trotted around with my beginner boyfriend and handled it really well. With that being said, I do believe he is SAFE and SANE but is still young and although he really hasn’t shown any “baby brain” with me whatsoever, it is something to take into account before purchasing for a dead beginner.

I’d like to see him with an advanced beginner with a trainer and up.

What an opportunity to own a big, stout, young gelding with LOADS of potential!

Approved homes only, we strive for the best match and suitability!

Gelding

16hh

Rochester, MA

The versatility, safety, and overall demeanor of this horse will make you go WOW. “Gandalf” is a superb example of an all around horse with exceptional show qualities. He is not only a stunning hunter under English tack with his steady movements, easy transitions and looks.. He is also a cruise control Western ride with the slowest, smoothest jog you will ever sit. Ride him in whatever you’d like, I guarantee he will impress you and make you fall in love. Suitable for a beginner under a trainer learning how to sit a trot or pop over fences, and fancy enough for an advanced rider to hop on and clean up in the show ring. Gandalf truly has it all.

He has been so well loved, and only being sold due to owner not having enough one on one time for him. He is consistently being worked in base level English lessons for kids and is such a gentleman. We would love to see him go to a one on one home where he will be doted on and shown to his full potential!

Gandalf is fantastic for the farrier, vet, loading, crossties, grooming, etc. He is a once in a lifetime horse with endless opportunities ahead. He WTC both English and western in the ring with nice changes, and has been started over small fences showing lots of bravery and willingness. He has been trail ridden alone and with others. He currently wears front shoes.

Please read AD, if I have not answered any questions above feel free to PM. Sending a message to this page will result in an automatic response with his exact price. Thank you so much for your interest.

🖤 ONYX 🖤 16hh 8 years oldGrade Percheron x Friesian Gelding SOLD

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe this incredible gelding! He truly is one of those “Once in a lifetime” horses. Onyx has done every and anything I have asked of him with zero hesitation. He has the smoothest, easy to achieve gaits and transitions. I have never had such a big boned draft type be so light and fluent under saddle. He will lope off from a standstill and has that classic rocking horse type canter that you can ride comfortably for DAYS. Whether you are schooling in the ring or riding down the trails, he is a BLAST to ride wherever you point his nose. Over bridges, through water, over logs, you name it and he’s happy to go. He will collect up in all three gaits and is light and buttery soft in the bridle. Or if you want to one hand neck rein and relax he will happily tote you around with no contact. You don’t even need a bridle! He walks, trots, canters and stops with no bridle at all. Onyx moves off of leg beautifully and responds to your seat as well. He can leg yield over and open/close gates all day long. Onyx is the same consistent horse every single day. He rides both English and western and adapts to whoever is on his back. I personally have jumped him up to 3ft and boy does he love it. He has zero stop to a fence and you can drop your reins and trust him at any point. No rush or dodging whatsoever. Onyx would make an INCREDIBLE fox hunt/hunter pace mount. He is sure footed and confident over any terrain.

Onyx is the same horse on or off property. He handles being alone incredibly well and has no problem leaving the herd at any moment. I have personally hauled him all over the place and he’s always ready to hop on that trailer and go. He’s a gem to load and you can’t feel him behind you as you go down the road. He cross ties, straight ties, and stands for hours to be brushed and doted on. (Good thing, because he has ALL the hair! His tail is about a foot and a half thick!) He’s a total puppy on the ground and loves all attention. He is great for the farrier/vet, and will sell UTD on everything.

We call him “Saint Jack” for his saintly ways. No matter what you want to do, you can count on Jack to have your back. He’s a rock-solid, dependable horse, used for every aspect of ranch work, toting kids, and seeing many different country sides. He handles down timber, rocks, and brush with ease, willingly crosses water and bridges, and travels safely through busy towns. Jack has guided hunts, been on overnight camping trips, and is just as reliable whether in a group or solo.

Jack is an outstanding trail mount and has been a great asset to my personal riding lesson program. He’s used extensively for everyday ranch chores: doctored countless yearlings in wheat pastures, dragged calves to the fire at branding, sorted in the feed yard, and gathered in big country. Nothing phases him, and his skill set is truly multifaceted. Young, old, novice, or experienced riders have all enjoyed him. His manners are exceptional both on and off his back.

One of Jack’s best qualities is his composure. Even in chaos, he remains calm and thinks things through. For example, while being clipped for sale pictures, he stood quietly ground-tied for nearly 45 minutes while I worked around him—never moving or fussing. Another favorite moment was when I tried my first English saddle; Jack gave me a confident, enjoyable ride, even over a few jumps. He is forgiving, understanding, and adaptable to any rider.

Jack stands 15.1 hands, is sturdily made, and up to date on all care (teeth floated 2/25/26). He’s 100% healthy, sound, and an easy keeper. Polite to shoe, bathe, haul, and stand tied, he gets along with all horses, ponies, and dogs. You can’t go wrong with Jack—he truly is dependable in every way.

Mercedes – 4 Yr old 16.2hh Black Friesian Sport Horse Gelding SOLD

⚔️ Mercedes ⚔️

Registered 87.5% Friesian - 6.25% Morgan - 6.25% Percheron

Ready to meet the most incredible horse I have ever had the pleasure of offering for sale?!

Meet Mercedes.. He is just as, if not more stunning in person than any picture could capture of him. Everywhere he goes, he turns heads with his presence and kind demeanor. I’ve never met a horse quite like him! One minute, he can be working and putting every ounce of effort into his ride with me. And the next, he will be nuzzling my 8 month old son with kindness and quietness you just can’t train into one. Sometimes, they just have it. And Mercedes has it.

Mercedes and I have done so much together! Countless arena rides, having fun playing with dressage/western/huntseat/bareback. Miles and miles of trails together. Hunter paces, off property adventures, and hours and hours of grooming and loving on him! If there is one thing for certain about this sweet, young horse it is that he tries with his all every time you step foot in that stirrup! He is not a hot ride and will go at whatever pace you pick. I have had every single level of rider on him and he adjusts and takes care of EVERYONE that has sat on his back. You will be smiling once you step off of him!

The possibilities are truly endless for Mercedes. Pick your discipline and climb to the top with him. Or… Be like me! And take him to a hunter pace one day and a cow sort the next. He is game for whatever you point his nose towards. In water, over bridges (even the teeter totter bridge! He loves it!), across open fields, down the road, you name it and Mercedes has done it and will do it happily!

Recently, we participated in the Massachusetts Equine Affaire! This horse blew me away at this extremely busy event. He was BRAVE, gentle and the same exact horse as he is at home in one of the most hectic environments. He trotted right into the daunting coliseum and strutted his stuff in front of hundreds of people. I was more nervous than he was, and he took care of me the entire time!

He is the quietest horse to trailer, he hops right on and you can’t feel him the entire ride. Settles right in to a new place with zero anxiety or issue. Super easy keeper, 0 maintenance, beautiful hoof (he wears front shoes because we trail ride so often), big solid bone… and of course that HAIR 🤩.

Mercedes has NO buck bolt or rear. He W/T/C both directions, responds extremely well to leg pressure, you can ride him with or without spurs, is soft in the bridle and has jumped small jumps (very minimally, as he is young) bravely! He would thrive in so many disciplines I truly couldn’t list them all. He loves a bath, clips, ties to anything, loves the farrier and vet.. ETC.

He sounds too good to be true, but this horse has proven himself to me time and time again. He really is one in a million.

Please PM the page (not comment). My page will send you an auto-message with his price. If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to message me anytime.

Our purchase process is simple and transparent.

Serious buyers may schedule an appointment to come try Mercedes in person. A deposit is required to hold him once a purchase agreement is made. A pre-purchase exam (PPE) with X-rays is welcome at the buyer’s expense and can be done by the veterinarian of their choice. Once the horse passes PPE and final payment is received, Mercedes can be picked up or shipping can be arranged.
