If you will be watching our videos, I would recommend visiting these pages....... TRAILS and ROPING. It is not necessary, but will explain a little about our trail riding, starting our horses roping, and generally getting them seasoned and safe. I do change the videos up occasionally, so be sure to refresh your browser occasionally. Also, please visit our GUARANTEE page for details on it.
We appreciate your understanding that some horses may still be 'in training' and so don't have a 'fixed' price as it is possible we would have to change it occasionally considering the additional time and training that is put into them as they progress and finish out.
Blake & Jeanne
7yr smallish/medium black donkey gelding
Excellent track donkey for training young rope horses or tuning finished horses. Track in arena or pasture, slow / medium. Gentle and friendly. Halter-broke, stands tied. Broke to ride (kind of), broke to drive (kind of). No run away or spook, but needs directional fine-tuning lol. Have nylon harness - needs one buckle fixed but is useable as is, and homemade white cart - also needs a little work (flat tire fixed, seat boards replaced and paint job) but is obviously also usable as is. Donkey, cart, and harness are package deal. Young lady shown riding him is NOT included (she's a great worker and would be sorely missed). Neither Blake nor I are included either, and really figure there is very little risk of anyone wanting us, anyway.

4yr 14.3h bay QH Gelding
Athletic, snappy gelding with a good handle and FULL of cow. Good tempered and mild-mannered, very easy horse to be around. Currently being hauled, had money won on him. Been in a variety of arenas and to a variety of ropings (including the 2009 USTRC finals). Good score, easy to rate, quick on the corner, closes as hard as you could ask for, and can really stop. Not just an arena horse, you can check and gather cattle on him in pasture or take a leisurely trail or town ride on him, too. He belongs to a friend of ours, PLEASE contact him directly by phone.

2006 14.2h grey AQHA gelding
Well bred, broke to ride, registered. Been ridden down trails, in pasture, a couple of times in town, pushed cattle. I've started the prep work for driving (pulling drag log, tire, etc....). Walk, trot, lope, stop on a loose rein, back easily and work off your leg some. By our ex-stallion Skips Con Brio and out of a performance bred mare. We raised him, had him professionally started as a late 2y/o and he's been ridden intermittently since then.
He is moderately watchy and reactive and would not do well with a timid / beginner rider. He has never bucked or reared under saddle and can be laid off of for extended periods of time and then brought up and rode cold out of pasture. The 3 videos were taken Feb 24, 2010 - he'd been ridden maybe once in the last 4-5 months and I saddled up, stepped up and rode off - just what you see. Pardon the cheap nylon tack - when you're saddling 5 horses and only have 4 good saddles...... just part of the reason we need to cut our 'herd' size down!
He is very smart and catches on quickly to everything. Took me about 15 minutes from fitting the harness to him for the first time (today, 3/7/10) to progressing from dragging the log (and not a little one, either - this is the one we use to level our arena, about an eight foot telephone pole section - and he wasn't skidding it longways either, that baby was sideways just like it pulls behind the 4-wheeler) then down to the tire drag. Probably going to be a few more sessions until we can graduate to the roping dummy as it's the lightest and makes the most noise - if a horse can stand to be driven (as opposed to ridden) while pulling that, they'll stand for anything lol!
