Free POA - "Joey" is a 14 hand, 19 year old POA from a pony club, came lame, in shoes and is now sound, with a little stiffness. He will walk trot canter push button but moves stiffly and is bored with ring work. He would do best with trail rides and some ring work but could give kiddie lessons. Extremely quiet, and seems subdued. A little underweight. His feet have responded well to barefoot ( about a year now ) and he is middle of the pecking order. He may have been western pleasure in the past, but the more recent history was pony club, kiddie lessons and hunter paces. He has deep tissue soreness from ill fitting saddle a long time ago, per the saddle fitter, and is being given a break from riding ( but anyway, has not worked much for one year ) One vet said proably arthritis but he has very clean legs, and stands square. He seems stiff in the stifle area. He has been trimmed frequently, ( I trim for others on the side ) and he has had dentistry recently, and fall shots. Very safe for kids. Not good at loading, but will back in and travel backwards! He does weave at times, even being out 24/7 but this is minimal. Needs some TLC, perhaps some cosequin, some fun riding and attention to saddle fit ( I have templates that will go with him) . Could also be just a companion horse, and can be ridden infrequently with no problem. Must be barefoot, and prefer bitless home. Goes well in Dr. Cook's or a hackamore. Will ship within 100 miles. Located in CT. Too many horses, in a small backyard space and he is not being used.

10 year old TB mare, never raced. Bought her when she was 2. Only had shoes on for 6 months when she was 3, then I discovered the barefoot thing! Never lame, strong solid feet. Lady is a great mare, with a heart of gold. I no longer have a desire to event/jump, and really want to find her a great event or jumping home. Lady can jump the moon, and has been trained through first level dressage. She is 16 hands, totally desensitized (due to my wild boys), easy keeper, UTD on shots and no problems with the vet or having feet trimmed, never lame, loads in 1 second, and super fun on the trail. Needs an intermediate rider. However, I feel with the right rider, the "sky's the limit." She loves to jump, and excellant at it. I think I am a little "faint-hearted." Plus, it was hard to do my jumping "homework" with one ear on the baby monitor. I love this mare, but need to move on. She does crib, but controlled with the miracle collar, asking $4500 obo.
If interested please let me know. Thanks - Tiffany - cell (845)239-2463 - located Dexter, NY (12/16/08)

5 yr old reg. 51” POA mare. Reining training with a lot of real world trail riding. Kid tested, mother approved. Cheyenne is well bred, cute as a bug and tolerant. Never been shod. Easy to trim. Shown in halter, but just not hauled due to lack of trailer space and time. She carries some to performance and halter bloodline in her pedigree. Her size makes her nice for out crossing with AQHA or ApHC. She is stout enough for a small adult and gentle enough for a little child. Owner has too many ponies or she would not be for sale. Please email Rkauk @ copper.net for pedigree and more information. (12/10/08)

Misabas Regal Regis
Born April 2003
Bay Overo Registered Paint Horse Reg#728,099
Regis has had 4 months of professional training using natural horsemanship and has been used almost exclusively for trail riding. He is a big strong horse who has done it all on the trail and loves the water. He goes alone most of the time and also has gone in large groups. He is strong willed and will take advantage of a inexperienced rider. He is 16h 1200#. He has been barefoot his entire life except for 3 months with a trainer. Asking 2000.00 to approved home only. --Patrick O'Brien, email: obrien.88 @ gmail.com (11/07/08)

Major is a 2+ yr old Reg KY Mtn Horse. This picture was taken in February of this year. Sweet, sane, sound, gentle and calm young gentleman, that is just needing miles put on him. He knows the basics and is very willing to listen and learn. I have seen no buck, or rear. He does not mind a rider on his back. He just needs saddle time. Stands fairly well for getting on and off, grooming and saddling. Safe to work around. Gets along with others in the pasture or while riding. Has been barefoot his whole life and does not even know there are rocks under his feet. No boots needed. I feel, with training, he will be a wonderful trail horse deluxe that can handle anything on the trail safely. Looks at things, but at his age he does well to behave like a gentleman. UTD on vaccines. Neg. Coggins. No known health problems. I can personally deliver and you would only have to cover my time and expenses. $1000 OBO. Chattanooga, TN 903-277-7879 (10/30/08)

Maverick is a 14.2hh registered 9 y o Connemara who has done everything, from hunting in Ireland to showjumping and Pony Club, even gymkhana. He is currently at the Bitless Bridle Centre in Talsarn, Wales, and I insist that he stays barefoot AND bitless. I am more concerned with a guarantee of this than anything else, so call me if you have any interest either to loan or buy. Maverick was given a rest by us, as we are non-competitive, ridden by myself and my 9 year old daughter in just a Dually and a treeless saddle. We took his shoes off and his feet responded beautifully and now they are in optimum condition. Just over a year ago, I was concerned he missed his busy life and he went on loan to a competitive family, which wasn't right for him. Maverick has always been 'clicky', he has been vetted and there is no problem. I gave him homeopathic treatment, herbs and Equine Touch and also Bowen treatment constitutionally, not just for the clicking. He is dapple grey and beautiful, I'm not attaching a pic but I will send one to anyone interested. He can be seen and ridden at the Bitless Bridle Centre if you call and give them notice. Maverick is kind and willing and has been described as 'textbook', 'push button' and so on, expressions I am dubious about as I believe deep down he'd like to stop giving every one what they want and to start getting more of what he wants. Please contact myself in the first instance, Suzanna on 01974 298561 or contact Sheila at the Bitless Bridle. (10/27/08)

4 year old TWH mare for sale. 14.2 hands tall. Black. Good ground manners and excellent trail horse. Has never had shoes on and does very well even in our rocky terrain. Rides like a gelding. Loves people. Easy to catch. Any one can ride her. 870-425-0608 Kris (09/04/08)

Ancestor's Calliope aka Calli-SWEET CALM BEAUTIFUL WALKALOOSA MARE!
This calm beautiful mare is a joy to ride.She always draws comments from people when I am riding her because she is so pretty and her mane is super long. She has super smooth gaits, a cute little rack that covers ground like crazy and a flat walk that does too. She is experienced on trails and has been ridden by several different people including a young girl with limited experience with no problem. I have had her a lot of technical trails with plenty of bridges and water crossings, at the beach, alone and in groups. She may do well as an endurance horse, she goes all day and keeps up a good pace. She is a small horse so she would make a perfect non-intimidating horse for a lady, teenager or moderately experienced child. She has been ponyied and ponyied off of, so she may do well on a lead line for younger folks as well. What really makes this girl so great is her sweet, docile "Black Lab" personality. It breaks my heart to sell her, but I got her for my husband and she turned out to be too small and I already have my own long time horse so we have to sell her. She may produce colored foals, both of her parents are colored and she has some Appy characteristics. This girl has rock hard feet and has never had shoes; I ride her on gravel logging roads during the winter and regular trails in the summer. She is ready to win your heart too! Please call Kathy at 541-937-2545 or email at ridebrat @ aol.com. Located near Eugene Oregon $3500 (06/22/08)

I have a pair of Size 5 Softride Boots (http://www.soft-ride.com/) for sale. These were only lightly used - my horse wore them for about two weeks, for therapeutic reasons. Unfortunately they were not a good fit for this particular horse. I trimmed away the frog support pad on the soft-ride gel support system. Other than that the boots are like new. They cost $175.00 new - make an offer. Katie Reid, Mulemagic @ aol.com (11/12/08)

Two pair of Cavallo size 2 barefoot boots for sale. They are very low mileage. One pair has been used twice, the other about 6 times (probably two miles total). They are in great shape, just didn't fit my horse.
