Do you love thoroughbreds? interested in a project to reschool? can you offer a wonderful home with lots of TLC? I have a 13 yr old gelding that needs his very own person to love him.Approx 15.2 hands and dark bay(looks black).I picked him up earlier in the year to improve his situation,and in hopes he might work as a lesson horse.He has now been brought UTD on his shots,coggins,worming,teeth floating,farrier and has put on a good amount of weight.Unfortunately,while he is a sweet horse to handle,he is a bit too sensitive to be put into the school program,and needs more schooling than we counted on.He did race when younger,and I am told he was someone's trail/backyard horse at one time,but he appears to have no formal schooling outside of that.If you are interested in a training project,and a personal horse(not a quick resale ) please feel free to inquire for more info.He is not a candidate for jumping,better suited to dressage and pleasure/trail riding.Would do very well with someone who would blend basic dressage with a little natural horsemanship.Might need to be on a joint supplement to be in regular work.I would also be willing to let him go to a good home as just a companion horse if anyone needed one.If you are going to inquire,please - be 16 yrs of age or older;have experience riding/training,NO BEGINNERS;be able to provide referances;use kind training methods/no rough "breaking".I will only let him go to a good home.He is free to the right person.One line emails just requesting pictures,or those without a phone number,will not be returned.Serious inquiries only please.Contact Tori for more info at phf-eventer@earthlink.net or 603-966-8729.

Free Lease to Right Home – Lead Line Pony Extraordinaire: I have an adorable 13 hand, Welsh pony named Pumpkin who I would consider free leasing under the right circumstances. I bought him 2 years ago trying to spark a little interest in my two young daughters. It hasn’t really happened and he’s basically become a beloved pet. I would let it be if he was old but he’s only 11 and should be doing something. I bought him out of a very, very busy South Shore riding program where he h ad escaped and moderately foundered. He was not sound enough for a serious “A” pony show life with jumping, or multiple “serious” lessons a day. I have had absolutely no trouble, even at his busiest – pony camps, a month of spring tune up after the winter at instructors, when my girls were lead line showing, etc. but I do have an excellent farrier. I might consider a very small, homey type lesson program but would prefer a “horsey” Mom or Dad who just wants a little cutie to play with their kids and get them going. Fabulous away from home and has raked in the blue ribbons at very local shows – great trail & costume class pony too. Off the lead line he has some “pony tricks” which is why I suggest him as a lead liner. Perhaps with someone more consistent and more in tune with ponies he could be perfectly fine. My kids are just plain not interested in riding. 100% excellent about vet, farrier, trailer, shows, have lead line hacked him a lot, no kicking, biting, bucking, rearing, totally barn safe with kids, dogs, etc. Loaded him up too many times to remember to be a babysitter for nervous horses and even thrown him loose in the indoor while I have a lesson. He’s a bit pushy, esp. for food but he is a pony! He’s got LOADS of personality and is definitely the barn cut-up just dying for attention. I don’t want to sell him as I worry about his old founder in the wrong hands but if I can find him a job and the right situation he’s a love and some child with a passion for ponies could be very happy. We’re endless green fields here so he does “live” in a grazing muzzle for ½ the year. I’ve spent 6 months thinking about this because my children do love him but don’t ever ask to ride or groom and this will be very sad for them with lots of begging involved. I can feel the guilt already! Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more pictures. wnbriggs@comcast.net or 413-477-8720. Picture (posted 09/06/08)

6 year old, 16.2 standardbred gelding free to a good home. Otis is a calm dependable mount, suitable for trails. Could be a great "buddy" horse that friends/family/non-horsey people could hop on for trails. He has great ground manners and is a very easy ride. However, he was in some sort of accident (I have very little info) and damaged both his hocks. He will not be able to show without regular injections, as he is just "off" enough that he would be pulled from a class. He goes walk/trot/canter and jumps 3'. I haven't pushed him more as it is a pain issue and he has trouble in the ring/on circles. He is fine on trails. Pics on request. ask for Liz, 603-654-2647. (posted 03/24/08)
