COMMENTS FROM PAST SALES and LEASES:
**Flash is wonderful. We arrived home safe and sound late last night. He was great for the whole trailer ride, and just stepped right off like an old pro. I thought he might be more excited after such a long ride, especially being so young, but he was a dream, just like you said he would be. He is getting along with everyone great, and I can't wait to get him going over fences and showing. I have to say it is a pleasure being able to buy a horse, sight unseen, and get what you are paying for. Be sure to come say hi if you ever see us at a show!**
Colleen Flegate, Red Deer AB
**Ariel and KC are doing great. They love their stalls, and have already figured out the routine. Ariel has 2 riders right now, and both love her to pieces. She knows her stuff, and is so sweet. KC is showing she knows her job, and knows it well. The students love her and think she is the 'funnest horse'. They have done well at the couple shows we've taken them to, and place in everything. It's great to be able to lease to such impeccably trained horses, and know they are everything you said they'd be. Everyone will be sad when the lease ends, but will have benefited from everything these 2 are teaching them.**
April Brock, Pacific Equestrian Center, Kent WA
**Duke, Ginger, and Kaluha are all doing well. Ginger is great with everyone, a quiet old girl. She has been taking good care of her riders, and has settled right in. Duke is a bit more of a handful, but is a good challenge for some more advanced beginners. He is in the process of making new friends with the other horses. Kaluha won't be in the school, we've decided to put her in training. She has definite A Ciruit potential, so will maybe find someone with a nice young rider who would be a perfect match for her. Great mind though, just as you said. My working student loves her.**
Karen Metz, Country Haven Stables, Medicine Hat AB
**Ariel is everything you said she'd be and more. Charly already loves her to pieces. She is very sweet and mellow. She is also proving to be quite the barn character, and can be very noisy about what everyone else is doing! Everyone else likes her immensely. Linda is very happy that Charly has found a horse that suits her.**
Tracy Quinsey, Maple Ridge BC
**Ariel is doing great. When she got here I took her for a walk up to our big ring, and she was fine by herself with me, just like "ya, I've seen this before". My first lesson with her went well, it was just a flat one so my trainer could get use to her as well. Our jumping one was good as well. It was really good at the end when I stopped riding her like she was a china doll! My friend loves her and keeps asking to ride her :) We had a dressage rider here ride her, and she said Ariel is really good too. She's so nice and polite, and so sweet and loving. She is really good to handle too, I can do everything with her myself with no problem. My friends are jealous! I'm excited for when I start showing, I know we'll do great.**
Charly Quinsey, Maple Ridge BC
**KC and JJ arrived safe and sound. Jade is in love with JJ already, and they are working very well together. Everyone adores KC, she is wonderful!**
Lori Johansen, Windover Ranch, Kimberly BC
**Whimsy is doing well, and my neighbor thinks she is a fine pony. The grand-children are coming at Easter, and I will send some pictures of Whimsy with them. She is so friendly, as are all your horses, a good job on the training. A young girl down the road came and took her out for a ride, and she was great. I took the grandchildren for a ride and her, and was as wonderfully behaved as promised. A really well trained young mare. **
Ava Haw, Edgewood BC
**Wow, Foxy really is beautiful and sweet. Great when we got home, just fed her and put her out without a problem. We're very excited to have her!**
Silke of Evergreeen Equestrian, Calgary AB
***KC is one of the best horses we have in our lesson program, everyone who rides her falls in love with her. Jade has started riding her now that JJ is back home, and is getting along well with her. She seems to know everything! We are very fortunate to have her with us.***
Lori Johansen, Windover Ranch, Kimberly BC
***JJ is wonderful, Sarah loves him already, we can see why you care for him so much, he's adorable.***
Grace Mackintosh, Calgary AB
***Vicki is great. Kirby is quite pumped up about next show season and being able to do the pony hunter divisions with her. She settled in fine, and just went for a walk the first day around the property to get used to everything. Kirby had her first lesson, I thought they would just do flat, but did a small course and was wonderful. She did a 4 hr hr flat clinic this weekend with 10 other horses at the local arena, and was everything you said. We are very happy to have her! Vicki is a beautiful horse, thank you for leasing her to us. ***
LeeAnn McDonald, Kimberly BC
***Zane is doing well. He is just as quiet and reliable as the first time we rode him, and they are learning so much together. I'm glad we made the trip! Thank you for helping us find this great pony for our daughter. It was a great experience, and you were so helpful in getting everything organized.***
Anne, Vernon BC
***Kirby and Vicki are doing great. They have done a few trails rides and a big scavenger hunt. Vicki was wonderful, as usual. We are going to be keeping her inside this winter, which she seems to like. Feel free to stop by anytime you are in the area and have a visit!***
LeeAnn McDonald, Kimberly BC
***JJ is just adorable and exactly what we are looking for. We are excited to have him and will be a great addition***
Jennifer, Manager of Kestrel Ridge Farms
***I like how professional you are, you have been wonderful to deal with, and made this an easy and enjoyable experience. We are very excited about Mara's arrival, I haven't told my daughter yet, we are going to surprise her on Christmas morning (meaning Mara with a big red ribbon around her neck, hope she doesn't mind!). ***
***Mara arrived later last night. She's as cute as can be! Was very calm getting out of the trailer, and we walked the last bit to the trailer. She dug into her hay right away after saying hello to the horses in the paddock next to her. Isn't it funny how she has some white on her face in the winter that doesn't show up with her summer coat? Very sweet. Thanks again!***
Sabine Fleschutz, Nelson BC
***Prodigy is just the most beautiful horse ever! I am so excited for him to get here and get working with him. It will be nice to have him around*** Angie Visser, Greenwood BC
***I am very excited about Prodigy and can't wait to breed him to my mare. They should have a great foal! I am in love with the Morab breed. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to buy the perfect stallion!*** Bob Hogan, Greenwood BC
***I think I'm in love! Pyro is just adorable! Thank you for making this and easy and fun purchase, you have been very helpful in all regards. I can wait for him to arrive and meet him. He is the perfect addition to my herd!*** Amanda Enmark, Spruce Grove AB
*** I've fallen so hard for Prodigy, he's so gorgeous & has such a sweet temperament at this time for a young stallion, & hoping that carries on as he matures. Now that Cinnabr has been here they are out on the 26 acres so they plenty of grazing. I am thrilled that Prodigy is here!*** Angie Visser, Greenwood BC
***Ariel is doing great! She is wonderful on the trails, we went swimming with her a couple weeks ago! We've been doing some cross country which she is very good at, so might do an event and see how we do.*** Charly, Maple Ridge, BC
***Met the little man last night, he is so beautiful and sweet! Getting along with all the other kids, though still a little shy and near the bottom of the herd. Loves coming into the stables now that he knows there is grain waiting for him! Hope to get him in some shows this year. Thanks again for the opportunity to buy him, he is exactly what I was looking for.***
***Stunning movement! Took him out on the lunge line and he just seemed to know EVERYTHING! Can't wait to get him in the show ring next year***
Amanda, Spruce Grove, AB
A little update on Mara! She is doing great, sweet as ever and has grown to 14.2. We rode her all last year up to November, much trail riding (she is getting less spooky all the time) and once or twice a week in the riding ring. She is now going through water, jumps over small jumps, does basic dressage and is very pleasant in the barn. She is second-to-top in terms of pecking order; soon the older (Morgan) mare will be gone, and Mara will be the boss of all!
Ok, hope you are doing well; by next year we’ll need another horse, hopefully you’ll have another one for us! *
