Horses In Our Program

The horses below represent individuals currently in our program. Some are actively offered for sale, others are presented through select consignments, and some are part of our family program but may be available to the right home and terms. Each horse is represented with transparency regarding their education, level of training, mindset, and suitability, allowing buyers to make informed decisions. ​

We utilize a combination of private sales and select invitational auctions as part of a strategic marketing approach. Our standard of education, transparency, and horsemanship remains the same regardless of the sales avenue. 

Sunny Buns

Can you even with this pony!!! He's as easy to ride as he is to look at <3


If you are looking for a safe pony or small horse, Sunny Buns is as easy as they come! He packs the kids around, yet he's stout enough for adults! He's ready for lessons, arena riding, trail riding or obstacle courses!  

Bruno

We can’t even begin to express how excited we are about Bruno!

This gelding knows what a hard day’s work looks like. He was one of the primary workhorses for an Amish family in Iowa and is seasoned to real-life farm use. He’s broke to all types of machinery and can be hitched single, double, or driven from either side—making him as versatile as they come.

So why did we invest in a plow horse?

Gylden Alerion - Aero

Aero is part of our family program and is a 16 hand, 2020 Friesian Sport Horse gelding. Februrary 2026 will mark one year since he joined our family.


Since joining our program, Aero has quickly stepped up and shown us many positive attributes, reinforcing the care and intention that has shaped him throughout his life.

Hearts

Hearts •  2022 • Percheron x Quarter Horse • Gelding • 16.2 hands


When you first meet this beautiful boy you notice his size, shape, rich deep blood bay coloring, and the perfect heart marking on his forehead. We decided to call him "Hearts" - because after meeting him, he's going to steal yours! 

Maynard

Maynard is a giant teddy bear!  I was actually able to purchase him out of Menno Miller's program. I had done a sale video for his then owners. It was cold out and we were all done when Menno told me to take him for a spin! I knew right away he was my type of horse! I have never driven a full size horse, but after seeing him go, I told Menno, I would like to learn to drive and I believe Maynard is the one to teach me.

Sleepy Joe

When we first met "Sleepy Joe," we actually had a different name in mind: Vance. It was an election year, lol. We figured he would grow up and be a handsome one, and we were right, but what we didn't realize was that he would also turn out to be one of the calmest, most laid-back horess we've ever had!

Big Bob

Big Bob comes from friends of ours and out of a ranch horse and cutting operation. He is a 2023 gelding that we aquired early in his two year old year. He's showing so much promise in being the style of horse we will hold on to and keep around. 

Kiss From Up Hi

This classy young filly checks all the boxes for quality, looks, talent and future potential! She's currently finishing up three months of professional training and making big strides in her education each week. She shows the talent to go in multiple directions - she's naturally soft and cadenced for the Western Pleasure, yet has the expression and presence to shine in the Ranch Riding and Ranch All-Around events. 

Rooster

Some horses you have to figure out—this is not one of them.


Rooster is a beautiful crossbred gelding that is seasoned, reliable, and proven. He’s the kind that makes your days easy and enjoyable, and the kind that quickly becomes everyone’s favorite in the barn—just like he is in ours.


He is educated and broke the right way, with a foundation that truly translates. Rooster carries himself with confidence....

MB Zeus's Gunner - Tango

Meet Tango — a 5-year-old buckskin Friesian cross that turns heads everywhere he goes, but it’s his mind and versatility that truly set him apart. At 15.3 hands, he’s the kind of horse that can safely pack around the kids one day, hit the trails the next, then step into the arena to ride English, Western, jump, or perform at liberty. Horses this beautiful, educated, and genuinely kind-hearted don’t come around often… Tango is the once-in-a-lifetime kind.

Broke to the trails and the arena, Whiskey is another gentle giant. He doesn't make a wrong move. He's stunning to look at and is so dependable in what we can expect out of him.

Always there when you need him - a partner that's willing to do what is needed to get the job done.
