The kind everyone is looking for — and the kind that is incredibly hard to find.
Babe is an exceptional 12-year-old Clydesdale cross mare standing 16 hands tall. She has that highly sought-after combination of draft size and substance, a kind disposition, and the quiet, dependable nature that makes a horse truly enjoyable to own.
Simply put, Babe is the ultimate family crossbred.
Babe is the type we look for when someone tells us they want a horse they can actually feel comfortable and confident around.
She is quiet, sensible, forgiving, and beginner friendly. She isn’t the kind of horse you need to be an experienced rider to enjoy.
Whether it’s Grandma wanting a relaxing trail ride, a child learning the ropes, or an absolute beginner looking for confidence, Babe is the type that takes care of her rider.
Babe rides English and Western and will walk, trot, and canter.
She is comfortable, uncomplicated, and enjoyable to ride. She isn’t just quiet — she is versatile enough to be enjoyed by riders with different backgrounds and riding styles.
This is where Babe really shines.
She is the kind of horse made for people who want to get out of the arena and actually enjoy their horse.
Take her down the trail, around the farm, or out for a relaxing afternoon ride. Babe is steady, sensible, and dependable, making her an excellent choice even for an absolute beginner looking for a trustworthy trail partner.
Finding a big, quiet family horse is difficult enough.
Finding one that rides AND drives makes Babe that much more special.
Her versatility gives her so many possibilities — family horse, pleasure horse, trail partner, driving horse, or therapy program prospect.
At 16 hands, Babe has the size and substance people love in a Clydesdale cross without sacrificing the quiet temperament that matters most.
