Subject: RE: Horse for Sale - 14 yr. old gelding.
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:12:29 -0500

I am selling my 17yo solid Grulla APHA broodmare.  I paid $2200 but will be lucky if I get $800.  I am enclosing a couple pictures of her and one of her son (Smokin Tuff McCue).  She is an excellent mother who throws large foals.  She is quiet and easy to handle (my farrier loves her).   If you know anyone interested let me know.

Information about my dear Paso Fino gelding Artisto. Artisto was 8 years old in May 2008. He was born to my mare, Canela in St. Cloud. Artisto is a bay & very nice looking. His bloodlines are from Contrapunto on dam's side & Plebeyo on the sire's side who was Beechtree Maestro owned by Carlos Tobon.  He is at least 15 hands.  He is VERY smart, loves people, is brave but insecure, he needs to have a owner who is consistent in handling him. He wants to please, he is quick, nicely gaited but has newer been trained by a paso trainer.  Artisto has had a lot of professional training. He has never been handled harshly. He rides in a snaffle bit or a rope halter or a "bitless bridle" or a "dually halter".   Knows "one rein stop".  He has always been healthy, good hay & grain, gets supplements, NEVER any health issues or illness, never has worn  shoes, he has been to the horse dentist, has all his shots & is wormed regularly. He loves being groomed & knows his name & always comes, I've never had to "catch him".  Ground ties & stands still when mounting. Knows how to walk up & down hills, (not run up & down, unless you ask him).  He also "shakes hands"! :~) Artisto many times does not want to trailer....... but then there have been times he goes right in. Getting into the trailer needs more work. He is very curious & notices any change in his surroundings. He could probably run barrels. He is "sensitive".  I would consider placing him or selling him to a GOOD & SAFE home with a loving, experienced horse person with SAFE fencing & environment. I would also consider a trade for another SOUND gaited horse to use for light riding. If you know anyone who is looking for a paso like this let me know or forward this info to them. Thanks!  Nanci / 218-547-1444  nanci9@mac.com  NOVEMBER 2008
 

I wanted to send a message to the group to let you know that I have decided to put my trusty trail horse "Rock Star" up for sale. I have really struggled with this decision. It is not easy to give up a partner like "Rock" who has taken such good care of me over many miles of trail-but I need to downsize and only keep 2 horses.  I am hoping that one of you may know of someone who is looking for a solid, dependable (supremely gaited) trail horse. I would like to find him a "forever home" with an active and adventurous horseperson, who will appreciate the special horse he is. For those of you who don't know Rock, he is 15.1+ HH, 12 years old, and registered TWH (Prides Generator breeding.) He has a smooth running walk, racks and is trained to Park out for mounting.  He’s an extremely intelligent and athletic gelding and in excellent health.  

I have attached a couple pictures I had here at work. If someone is interested in knowing more about Rock, you can e-mail me or call me on my cell @ 608-695-0935. I am asking $3700.00 for him.

> Hi,> > I too have decided to sell my horse, Tucker. > > He's a beautiful registered 8 year old Missouri Fox Trotter gelding. 15.1> HH, light-palomino with long white mane and tale and a star.

Kathy-You told me to send you this ad for my Arabian and that you would post it for me in your for sale section:Here is a photo of Ozzie.  He is a 20 year old Arab that I bred and raised.  I rode him for 12 years as a trail horse, then sold him to a friend who used him the last 8 years in competative/endurance riding.  He is a wonderful endurance horse and has won many times.  He is completely SOUND, no arthritis, nothing. Looks and acts like he is still a 5 year old. My friend retired him off the 50 mile races but he woulds still be extremely competative in the 25.  I can see him with someone just wanting to start out endurance riding with a seasoned horse or a youth wanting to compete. He's very pretty to boot! I'd like $1000 for him.  If interested call me days at 218-863-5656.  Pelican Rapids, MN.Cindy Trane - Thanks Kathy!  9/01/09
