Estilo- for sale

2022, 15.3h (sticked) bay mare by Tapiture (Tapit)- see pedigree here.

Estilo is an exceptionally quiet, easygoing filly that will be super straightforward for an amateur to bring along in the discipline of their choosing. This filly comes in a compactly-built, sporty package, but still has plenty of growing and filling out to do. I expect she will finish right at 16 hands, or maybe a hair over.

Estilo WTC quietly under saddle, and is a very fancy mover, with comfortable, balanced gaits, including the most adorable toe-pointing trot, and soft, lopey canter. She is lovely in the bridle, and makes the most adorable shape. Estilo hacks out quietly as well, with or without friends, over all kinds of terrain. She is surefooted, willing and brave.

Estilo just made her fox hunting debut, where she impressed with maturity beyond her years. She marched bravely across numerous creeks, navigated terrain, stood quietly at the checks, and was unfazed by the hounds. She will continue hunting this season until sold, as I think she has the brain for it, but is the type of horse that could easily step into any job.

Estilo is easy to handle, loves attention, loves people, and is just a doll to have in the barn. She stands at the mounting block, on the crossties, and for the farrier. She has clean legs, good feet (only shod in front), and zero vices. Estilo loads and ships perfectly as well- she checks all the boxes. She is UTD on vaccines, shoeing and deworming. She is sound, fit, and ready to go. I am happy to help arrange shipping as well.

Asking 8k at this time, subject to change.

Vinny - available soon

2018, 16.2h bay gelding by Maclean’s Music- see pedigree here.

Vinny is a well-bred, classic type Thoroughbred, who had a long, successful career at the track, winning over $200k before his owners decided to retire him. He comes from connections who takes exceptional care of their horses, and do a super job of training them so that they are ready to step into a new career when the time comes. This horse is a perfect example of that.

Vinny is a delight to ride- he is round and soft in the bridle, with beautiful, comfortable gaits and a natural lead change. He is more of a push ride, and is the type that I would feel comfortable putting any of my students on- he is that straightforward. He trail rides happily, both alone and with friends.

This horse is a PHENOMENAL jumper- as in back-cracking, knee-tucking, snappy, careful jumper with serious scope to burn and serious power off the ground- the kind you watch jump and gasp “ohmygod did I just see that?!” You have to see it to believe it- it’s THAT good.

Vinny is a total gentleman both on the ground and under saddle. He loads, ships, stands at the crossties, behaves for the farrier, and cohabitates well with others in turnout. He has no vices whatsoever, and has clean, tight legs.

This horse would be a lovely prospect for any discipline- he is kind, willing, and just really classy all around. He will begin fox hunting this fall.
