Start with who will ride
The best first step is simple: tell us who the horse is for. A parent and two kids who want weekend trail rides need a different horse than a confident rider looking for a driving partner. When you call or text, we will ask a few easy questions about the riders and what you would like to do together, then point you to the horses that fit.
What our listing words mean
Corey writes every listing himself, and he uses the same plain words each time so you can compare horses.
"Kid safe", "grandma safe" and "husband safe" mean the horse has been calm and dependable for those kinds of riders in our hands. "Beginner friendly" or "true-beginner friendly" means the horse is forgiving of a new rider's mistakes. "A good mix of whoa and go" means he is happy to walk along quietly but will move out when you ask.
The glossary explains the rest, from "hands" to "broke to drive".
Watch the videos, then ask
Every horse has photos and video, and we tell you everything we know about him, including any known health issues. Watch how he stands to be groomed, saddled and mounted, and how he moves under a rider. If something in a video raises a question, ask. There are no silly questions, and a quick call often saves a long search.
Look at the horses we've placed
Our past horses are a good way to see the kind of horses we bring in. You can browse them by breed in our breed guide, from big Belgians to Haflingers and ponies.
