09/08/2026

This guy is the real deal won over $400 this weekend alone, he loves to land in the money everywhere we go.

“Clifford”

🦄- 17hh AQHA gelding 2018 model 8yrs

🐴- Chocolate Brown in color with so much personality he runs the ranch!

💰 - LTE $3000+

🐎 - 3D/4D consistency also knows poles

📍 - located in Ririe, Idaho may transport for minimal fee within 150 miles

He is tall handsome polite boy who is fun to ride. Walks in quiet, walks out quiet. He’s chill in the warm up pen, NO FUNNY business with this horse he is solid and safe. He is fun to ride in the arena and has a lot of potential to change disciplines and work out as a great western pleasure, English or even an all around show/4H prospect. He knows all the basics w/t/l and he has been ridden extensively by a teen girl. He rides off from the trailer alone and has seen everything you can think of crazy rodeos, load equipment, busy toddlers and dogs, scooters and Segway’s - nothing phases this boy. He is a gentleman for everything loves his bubble bathes, stands quiet for the farrier and has had both cold or hot shoes. Clifford has been stalled in many different locations and types of enclosures, he adapts easy with no stress, and he turns out to pasture too. Clifford is good with mares or geldings, middle of the herd personality. Hauls like a dream, eats and drinks no issues. Clifford has been healthy and has no maintenance issues. We do feed him a high performance diet when competing and we can share all that info.

Clifford has been super special at our place, he is a goofball with many silly antics and he loves attention and love, he would be great for someone looking to get into barrel racing, or for a youth looking to make an all around prospect. We are looking for a good fit to take him and love him like we do. Many, many many videos of barrel Runs, work and play. He has been hauled all over the West, for the past 4 years by us.

Daughter is simply needing to focus on her other horses, is the reason for sale. PPE exams welcome at buyers expense. Asking 17k

Amen…

Sorry not sorry for this🫣
Since when did every 13, 14 & 15 year old from here to the state line become a horse trainer extraordinaire? 😂

Because some of the things I hear come out of young riders mouths lately and honestly, some adults too absolutely blow my mind.

I recently saw a young girl comment something incredibly rude on a video of a WORLD CHAMPION’S video basically claiming this woman knew nothing about training horses.
The confidence? Impressive.
The audacity? Even more impressive. 😂
But my personal favorite that grinds my gears is watching young kids tear down OTHER YOUNG KIDS like they’re the next Karen of the horse world.
Baby… you’re 14. Give me a damn break

Why are you already worried about what another kid is riding, who trained it, what bit they use, what division they run in, or how much their horse COST?

And THAT ONE really gets me.🤢

I hear kids and unfortunately adults compare someone’s worth, talent, and even their damn “popularity” as a rider based on the price tag of the horse underneath them.
That absolutely infuriates me.

I don’t give a s**t if Little Susie’s pony cost $2,000 or $100,000.

Is Little Susie HAPPY?!

Is she learning?

Is she taking care of her horse?

Is she becoming a better rider?

Is she walking out of that arena proud of herself?

THAT is what matters.

So if Little Chloe wants to sit over there discussing Little Susie’s pony’s price tag and using it as some imaginary ranking system of who is more important in the horse world yeah, I’ve got a real problem with that.
Because somewhere along the way, somebody taught these kids that having the expensive horse makes you somebody.

It doesn’t.

Money can buy an incredibly talented horse. It can buy great training. It can buy opportunities.

It cannot buy horsemanship, humility, work ethic, kindness, class, or character. To be completely honest worth ethic in kids and adults is hard to
find.

And before somebody says I’m “picking on kids” I’m not. I’m saying kids AND adults need to be checked sometimes.

I’m not going to watch one kid publicly belittle another kid and stay quiet because “they’re just kids.” That’s exactly when somebody should be teaching them better.

Confidence is GREAT. I want these young riders confident. I want them competitive. I want them walking into the alley believing they can outrun everybody there.

But confidence doesn’t require making somebody else feel small.

Hell, I don’t know everything. I’m still learning every damn day. The more horses teach me, the more I realize how much I still have left to learn.

You can be talented at 14.

You can be handy.

You can have a phenomenal horse.

You can win.

But stay teachable. Stay humble. And stay kind.

Because one day Little Susie and her $2,000 pony might just smoke Little Chloe and her six-figure horses ass.
And wouldn’t THAT just ruffle some feathers. 😜😂

Raise good riders. But more importantly, raise good humans.
Featuring the horse who didn’t have a big price tag but he shows up , tries hard and most importantly we’ve busted our ass together to get seasoned and finished enough to get there 🫶🏼
Till next time between the barn and heaven 🫶🏼❤️

Thank you to everyone who shared him, super excited for his future family!!!!

On Consignment. SE Idaho Registered American Halflinger

“Alpha” is a 2023 3yr old Registered American Halfinger Gelding. Born and raised by his Owner. They still have his Dam, and she a family horse who is currently used as a fantastic mountain/trail horse and she also takes turns in the arena as a 4H horse. Alpha has the same demeanor.

Alpha is aproxx 15hh, and 1100 # at 3 years. He has tons of personality and curiosity.

Alpha stands tied quietly, loads in and out of the trailer with ease, is good for the farrier and Vet appointments. Alpha knows how to high-line tie, and bathes. Alphas potential is Endless. He would be fantastic driving horse, dressage, or cross country horse. He is stout and would be a great outrider horse, or an excellent mountain/trail horse with stamina for days. He is smart, willing, and loves to work and use his mind. He likes to play with buckets, latches, rubber mats, his lead rope anything to entertain and keep him busy. He will always be a fun partner no matter the job and everyone will be jealous. He is the classic chestnut color with dapples and a long flowing tail, his mane was long until he rubbed it out on panels but it will grow back and it is thick and gorgeous. Alphas training will continue, which will increase his price. Act quick and get the horse everyone dreams of and finish him your way.

French Madam Sicily “Sicily”
(AQHA PENDING)
IAM A PRISSY CLINE X SM SMOKIN HOLLYWOOD

Born May 5, 2026

We delayed in announcing this filly for two reasons (we are smitten and want to keep her for ourselves) and we weren’t 100% sure who her sire was 🫪

Her dam was AI’d, but showed open. She came home and was instantly in heat. Arlo covered her once. It was end of our season and we thought “oh well”. We figured she was Open and didn’t ultrasound until fall. It was a just be certain, and lo and behold she was in foal.

Fast forward to DNA results finally came back and 🥁 she is in fact and ARLO’s baby!!! This is even more impressive as this filly is legs, athletic as all
Get out, and then has his brains and muscle mass.

We are tickled to death, she has her mommas s***k too she’s going to be one to watch grow up.

As they say, more than one way to skin a cat…and I have to admit I have been doing what I do long enough to have seen some
Things myself…great read.

Back when I was doing farrier work, a lady called and asked if I could come shoe her dad’s horse.
She said he was getting older, and this was probably gonna be his last elk hunt on horseback. Said he wanted to take his mare out one more time so they could make one final trip together.

Now that hit me right in the American spirit.
So I said I’d be there.

Day comes. My parents and brothers were in the area, so I said, “You all wanna come along? Should only take about 45 minutes if everything goes smooth."
Looking back, that was the dumbest sentence spoken in North America that morning.

We get there. I unload the anvil, strap on the chaps, grab my tools, and the old man has the horse standing there tied to a hitching post.

I thought I was walking into a routine service call. I was actually entering a live-action folk tale.

Now normally, front feet should’ve taken me maybe 20–30 minutes tops. Instead this horse turned it into a hostage negotiation. Leaning. Pulling. Testing me.

Every time I’d get a rhythm going, she’d shift around and remind me I was working for her now. By the time I finally got both front shoes on, forty-five minutes had gone by.

That’s when I knew we were no longer in regular business hours. But thankfully he was the only client I scheduled for that day.

Then I reached for the first hind foot. That horse would not cooperate. Would not lift. Would not negotiate. Wouldn’t let me near those back feet like she had secrets back there.

We tried feed buckets. We tried petting. We tried sweet talking. We tried ropes. We tried standing different. We tried acting like we didn’t care!

Sweat in my eyes. Pride leaving my body. Family standing around watching my downfall like it was live entertainment.

Then the old man walks over calm as a sunrise and says: “You wanna flip her on her back and shoe her that way?”

Now I laughed at first. Because surely this was humor. Surely this was elder sarcasm.

So I humored him and said, “If you can get this horse on her back I’ll finish shoeing her.”

He nods and disappears, comes back carrying ropes older than FM radio.

Leads the horse into an open patch of yard and starts tying knots with the confidence of a man who’d solved problems before manuals existed.

Loop here. Cinch there. Half hitch. Cross-body tension line. Anchor point under the belly. Witchcraft. Ranch rope slinging geometry.

At one point I’m pretty sure he tied one directly to gravity itself. Then he steps back, looks at me dead serious, and says:

“Alright. I’m gonna pull. You push. When she goes down, somebody get on her neck.”

Nobody spoke, even the wind shut up. Then he squints at me and says: “Alright. I’m gonna pull. You push. When she goes down, somebody get on her neck.”

Before I could process that sentence, my dad had already removed his coat.

Old man pulls.

I push.

Horse tips over in slow motion like a falling tree. My dad launches through the dust and got on that neck like he was claiming new territory.

My brothers are trying to help anyway they can. My mom isn't sure what to do. Dust cloud rolling. Horse squirreling. And the old man tightening ropes like he’s tying a Christmas ham.

We essentially hogtied that horse.

And there I am… tools in hand… trimming and eventually nailing hind shoes onto an upside down horse laying sideways…

While my father is on the neck like a determined gargoyle…

And an 80-year-old ranch wizard coordinates the whole scene with the calm of a librarian.

We got both shoes on, the old man loosened the ropes, my dad dismounts, and the horse stands up furious enough to file paperwork.

Looks at every one of us like she was memorizing faces.

Then the old man pats her neck and says:

“There now.”

There now.

Like we’d just brushed her mane.

We packed up and left like nothing unusual had happened. I never heard if he got his elk, but I hope he did.

And I hope somewhere in those mountains, an old cowboy and one suspiciously watchful horse shared one last ride together.

Spring is in Full Swing.

Babies, breeding, Barrel Races, Colts under saddle, Fertilizer and Ditch work. Spring, is a very busy time for us. But with the work, comes some rewards.

“Good things come to those who Hustle”

Besides, we wouldn’t know how to be any other way.
