Draft Horses
Oliver
Oliver is a 20+ 16.2” mule gelding with the cutest star on his head. He is super sweet and loves attention, first one to greet you at the gate. So far, he rides like a mule and takes a little more direction to get where you want to go but he’s not going anywhere fast. UTD on vet and farrier and sound barefoot

Queen Charlotte
Queen Charlotte (ok the donor just wanted her named Charlotte, but if you met her, you’d know why we added the Queen) is an aged Molly 16 hand mule and she’s an absolute perfect queen. She is easy to catch, handle and is totally beginner safe other than she is a mule so she requires more gumption for basic commands. She will NOT run away with you and she absolutely adores treats, attention and just every single second of loving she can soak up. She’s a sweet mule who would love to be your companion for leisure riding or loving. Please note, she will need a draft specific farrier. She picks her feet up find but she is large lady so make sure your farrier knows she is a draft mule! UTD on vet and farrier.
Mara
Mara is a 20+ year old 17 hand Belgian mare that is BEGINNER safe. She would suit a therapeutic riding program, timid adult, or husband who thinks he’s John Wayne. She’s gentle and sweet and loves to be brushed. She has no idea that she’s as big as she is. She will need a draft specific farrier as she does pick up her feet but leans and will need some patient with that. Just an all around nice girl. I’m sure she won’t last long before she’s adopted! UTD on everything.
Molly Rose
Molly Rose is a 20 year old 17.2 hand Belgian draft mare. She has been a broodmare her entire life previous to this so she is a bit nervous on the ground but doesn’t do anything mean. She’s coming along great and will make a great trail or leisure riding draft for an advanced beginner husband or taller rider. She’s a sweet girl who we really enjoy having around. You will need a draft specific farrier. We are training her to pick up her feet but she doesn’t currently know how. UTD on vet and farrier.
Monroe
Monroe is a 18.2 hand Belgian draft gelding around 20 years old. He is BIG and rides BIG. Please do not come see him and say he’s too big. Imagine a big horse, he’s bigger than that. He is blind in his left eye so he can be pushy on that side because he can’t see you. Otherwise he’s easy to catch, ride, handle. He w/t under saddle and goes down the trails. He’s okay for feet but will need a draft specific farrier (see his size again) that is comfortable trimming a horse of his size. Monroe is a sweet ginormous baby elephant who will be a good companion, trail or pleasure horse. UTD on vet and farrier.
Riding horse
Gulliver
Gulliver is a 14.2 hand 20+ year old GAITED gelding. Gully came to us as an ex breeding stallion (although he is not very studdy comparatively to some) and has been since gelded. He is a DELIGHT to ride and has a nice smooth gait. So far we find him advanced beginner safe and a superb trail horse. The plan is to keep riding him on or off property until he gets adopted. Sound and quiet, and UTD with vet and farrier.

Whimsy
Whimsy is a 15 hand Morgan X mare around 12 years old who looks like a fancy warmblood. She is a little sulky and still learning to go forward undersaddle as she has only been a buggy horse until now. UTD on vet and farrier and sound in 4 shoes.

Allen
Allen is a 15 hand QH 20+ dun gelding. Allen is a HUSBAND horse deluxe. Ranch broke and dead quiet. He wants a pleasure riding home. He w/t and trail rides like a gem. We had a meet and greet bring 3 feral screaming children who climbed all over him and he did not care. This boy is worth his weight in gold and he will NOT last long. He doesn’t want to jump or do heavy riding like a multi day lesson program but he’s perfect trail or pleasure horse for a timid adult or child. UTD with vet and farrier and sound with four shoes on.
Luke
Luke is a 14 hand 20+ year old dun QH pony cross. He is BEGINNER safe. He will stand for hours in the cross ties to brushed, walks quietly down the trails, and is just such a good boy. He does have Cushings (currently managed without medication but prascend won’t hurt him if you want to put him on it), and needs to be off grass or muzzled. He is w/t sound only and will be the perfect first pony to teach your littles to post or to feel confident going down the trails. He does not want a big jump jumping, cantering or going fast. He is worth his weight in gold and is a perfect pony. He will not mind your loudest crotch goblin but deserves a sweet kid or adult to brush and love him for the rest of his days. Barn favorite! UTD on vet and farrier. Wears front shoes.
Young Drafts
Evie
Evie is 6 month old 13 hand Belgian filly. She is SWEET but is a baby baby so will need a patient and experienced handler. She’s still learning to lead and pick up her feet but she does tie. She’s going to be gorgeous with that huge blaze and gentle temperament. Great prospect for all disciplines. UTD on vet and farrier
Janie
Janie is a 16 hand Belgian mare around 2-3 years old. Janie had a rough life in the Amish prior to coming to us, having a baby “Evie” at way too young an age. Thankfully the vets (yes multiple) believe that it will have no effect on her future careers. She is young, sound and calm! Janie is just a nice girl to handle all the way around and could be started for any discipline with her nice temperament and sound strong legs. We adore Janie and think she’s the perfect prospect. Her foal has been naturally weaned and she is ready to find her forever loving home. UTD on vet and farrier.
Eddie Spaghetti
Eddie is a 18.3 hand 2 year old (no you didn’t read that incorrectly) Belgian draft gelding. His adoption fee will not be cheap due to the high risk of him being resold into a workhorse life as a lead horse. We are fully prepared to hang onto him until he finds the right forever home. He will be BIG and he knows he’s big, so he will need a draft experienced handler and not someone who just wants a big horse (hence the higher fee). He is being worked with daily on leading, picking up his feet, and tying and catching. He is a little shy but is actually a big playful sweetheart. He will likely reach 19+ hands. We adore him and really enjoy having this big hunk of love around. He’s been spared a lifetime of overwork and cruel treatment and it’s such a gift to be around him. UTD on vet and farrier.
Donkeys
Asher
Asher is a 4-5 45” donkey gelding. HE DOES NOT LIKE DOGS! He is great with other animals but has a that guardian instinct when it comes to dogs. He’s very sweet to people and although still learning to lead, he really enjoys grooming and brushing. We adore him and think he’s so cute! He would love to be turned out with another donkey friend in your herd and he has a beautiful bray when singing the songs of his people. UTD on vet and farrier
Turk
Turk is an 11 hand SPOTTED aged donkey gelding. He is smart, funny, and easy to catch. He’s older and has a cute little collapsed crest but nobody told Turk he’s of a senior generation because he’s quite spry. He loves attention, being brushed, treats and having his gentlemanly distinguished eyebrows rubbed. This sweet boy would love a forever home to call his own. UTD on vet and farrier.
companions
Quantos
Quantos is a ~yearling 32” miniature horse gelding. Gorgeous black leopard Appaloosa coloring! Quantos wants to be a good boy, but needs some time and handling to be kid safe due to his young age. He’s a little shy to catch but warms up quickly. Perfect first project! UTD on vet and farrier.
Mary of Exeter
Mary is a 20+ year old 40” miniature pony mare. Sadly she was returned for being bad for farrier (kicking out with hind legs) as her adopters were frightened by the behavior. We have been evaluating her and find her to still ride the VERY BEST (w/t- our kid probably could have cantered but we didn’t have a saddle and were playing it safe) independently. We have played with her hind legs and as long as you are gentle and slow, she will pick them up but she seems anxious and worried about it. We elected to sedate her for farrier and she was picture perfect! This farrier quirk will still need to be worked on before we will call her kid safe, but she did not have it with us previously so we believe with time and gentle patient training it will go away. She has otherwise been good for grooming and brushing with her friends. UTD on vet and farrier.
Athena
Athena is an ~20 year old 11 hand bay pony mare. She is a little bit feisty right now as she’s learning to settle in but as she gets to know you, she really is quite sweet. She did stand to be groomed and was a little nervous but once she realized she was quite good. She is large enough to ride and we have lightly sat someone down for a pony ride and that went okay, but we have NO IDEA if she rides independently and have no one to test it. She’s a sweet little mare who would do well in a variety of homes. UTD on vet and farrier
Chauncey
Chauncey is a coming yearling 30” miniature gelding with the cutest nose snip and although still a little shy due to age and handling, he’s really very sweet. He does the cutest tippy tappy of a little trot and is just all around adorable. He will take a more experienced handler just due to his age but will grow up to be the perfect companion for anyone. UTD with vet and farrier.
Tandra
Tandra is a 12 year old 12 hands mini/ welsh X mare. She is safe and easy to catch but very impatient and hardly ever stands still. She rides (and according to her auction note drives) but has some anxiety so not kid safe yet. Perfect project pony to fit up to win in the show ring! UTS on vet and farrier.
CD
CD is a 40” 20 year old miniature horse gelding. He is CALM and gentle and friendly / easy to catch. Stands to be groomed and messed with. He is large enough to ride but we only have sat lightly on him and done a pony ride, we do not know if he rides independently. Sweet little guy seeking his forever home. UTD on vet and farrier.
