🦕“Bram"🦕 is a 2016 ISH gelding standing at 16.2+ hands. This big guy has a lovely disposition, a kind heart, and great ground manners. Cross ties, bathes, clips, stands for farrier, and loads. He has been brought along thoughtfully by his owner. Bram has hunted second flight with both Piedmont and Snickersville Hunts with no issue. Respectful of hounds as well as other horses in close proximity. Bram has also participated in Phyllis Dawson jumping and cross country clinics, and also a ground pole schooling show at Beverly Equestrian Center. He has been in professional training for the past 90 days to further his fitness and flatwork education. Owner has accepted a new job position, which sadly leaves limited time in her schedule to continue to bring along this talented young horse
Clean legs, no injuries, no vices.

Our Fall 🍂 harvest has been a rewarding one 🙌

Nature 🌞, the land 🏞, and our livestock 🐖 have given us an incredible appreciation for life and connection to our food.

Our piggies that we raised from piglets went to market 🥓

Our chickens that we have had since chicks started laying 🥚 while some became 🍗

And our garden 🌾 produced everything from tomatoes 🍅 to melons. Radishes to an amazing haul of sweet potatoes 🥔

We are incredibly thankful to Mike and Lisa Mendell for giving us the opportunity to do what we ❤. And the Strahley family for the land we raised our pastured 🐖 on!

⭐ Vic ⭐

⭐SOLD⭐

JC name "Courting Victory" is known as Vic in the barn. 2016 16.3 hand Thoroughbred gelding. This is going to be one big boy once he is finished growing! Vic has a solid flashy build and a fantastic presence. He is a goofball who loves people. As a young horse he will do well with someone with experience or in a program. Vic needs guidance to stay focused and consistency. He is incredibly athletic and will be fun and rewarding to develop. He was let down for 30 days before starting to train for a new career. He has been hacked extensively, encountering water, ditches, and banks. Vic has been training on the flat to build strength and a good foundation for jumping. He has a natural curiosity about the world and could be a great eventer or dressage prospect. No vices.

"ZHU-LI"

JC name "Run From Theheat" also lovingly known as Zhu-Li 🐉.
2015, 16.2 hands, Thoroughbred mare. This is one classy lady! This mare is easy to be around and a joy to have in the barn. Very amateur friendly 🤗. Clean legs, no injuries, and big beautiful feet (barefoot for the winter). Although still all legs and growing, Zhu-Li shows beautiful aptitude for flatwork with an even cadence. Hacks out alone or in a group and we could definitely see her foxhuting 🦊!
