Sale list

 

Its time to sell the mini stuff, and Ollie!

Here is what I am selling:

Ollie: 15ish bay mini gelding. Very sweet, Ollie will follow you around like a dog, he gets along with other horse great and loves kids. He hasn’t been ridden by kids much, but he is great with them on the ground and for lead line rides. He is well trained to drive single and double. He is not as comfortable driving double, but is great single. He would be good for a beginner driver wanting a more goey horse, but not a full size horse. I might be selling him with a cart and harness. I would also be happy to give some driving lessons to whoever buys him provided that I don’t have to travel too far.

 

 

Mini Surrey: Made by Buggy Bobs, this surrey is adorable and the perfect size for two small ponies or large minis. It is a couple years old, not used much but stored outside with only a tarp cover. The fringe needs replacing and the metal could use some TLC. Comes with team pole and possibly leather mini team harness (see below).

 

Mini team harness: Leather with collar and hames. Super cute, in great condition, only used for one summer. Made by Ron’s Horse Harness in Canada.  Would like to sell with surrey.

Mini easy entry cart: Sized for a large mini, in good usable condition but needs some work to be pretty.

Mini single harness: Biothane, well used, but serviceable for training and daily use.

 

 

In addition to the mini tack I also have several saddles for sale:

Crosby jumping saddle, 17 or 18 inch seat, well used. Wide tree, used on warmbloods.

Crosby Corinthian saddle, all purpose, 16.5 inch seat. Good condition. Medium tree.

 

Corbette all purpose saddle, 17 or 18 inch seat. Well used, could use some new billets. Wide  tree, used on Arabs.

Argentinean Dressage saddle. Pretty and comfortable little dressage saddle made in Argentina. Small blemish on back of saddle. 17 inch seat, medium narrow tree, great for high withered or narrow withered horses. Lovely saddle.

Marciante Endurance saddle: not sure of the seat size, but I fit in it and I use a 17 to 18 inch English seat. Very well made and comfortable saddle, but the seat is a bit hard. Excellent trail saddle ( I would not recommend for endurance as posting in this saddle is not fun), with lots of ways to attach stuff to the saddle. The tree is mediumish and well made. I really love this saddle for trail rides.

Plantation saddle. I really don’t know much about this saddle, it looks comfy but I have never ridden in it as it doesn’t fit any horse of mine. It was an impulse buy because I really wanted a plantation saddle! I’ll try to gather more info on it.

I am so out of it

 

And not doing my normal stuff. Oh well. Quick update and maybe one of these days I will get back to blogging again.

I haven’t ridden since August. Yes, I know, its been forever. Although I really do miss riding, I don’t miss dealing with Lucy. I haven’t taken her out since the last time she was trimmed (and she is very overdue) yet last weekend when I went to take her and Georgie out, she saw the halter and make a squeal that deffinatly translated into a swear word and took off to the other side of the pasture. Meanwhile Georgie saw me coming with the halters and walked over to me. Guess who got to come out and get brushed and get treats?

The reason I wanted both of them out at the same time is because I want to start ponying her off Lucy on trail rides. However Lucy is going to have to get it down in her big head that going for a ride once a week is not going to be the death of her.

Everyone desperatly needs a trim. Whey have they not been trimmed? Because I haven’t been paid in over a month and I still owe my trimmer from last time. Lets not get into that.

 

In non horse related life I have taken up running, and because I read the cool new running book, barefoot running. Because I was not crazy enough to begin with with owning horses and all, I’ve decided to start running all over the mountains  without shoes!

But in all seriousness, running barefoot is amazing! I had only been running for a couple weeks when I decided to try it. Arobicly I could handle the distances I was going, but my legs and ankles where hating it. Then I ran barefoot and my feet practicly left my body (and lungs) behind. I really enjoy it and hope to keep running and running barefoot.

 

I started knitting my first sock! I really suck at following patterns, I generally end up just making up my own thing, which is fine with crochet since I have been doing that for quite a while and am good at it, but with knitting I am really just a beginner. So last week I picked up some sock yarn and am now more then half way through my first sock. Its very fun! But we will see how I feel when I get the the second sock.

 

Well thats all for now!
