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)


Registered APHA Gelding for Lease (Parelli Level 2)

I am looking for a great person (or family) to lease my horse. I am open to lease ideas and options, especially to the right person! He will be staying on-site, as we have finally found an awesome barn. I would also like you to take lessons (at least twice per month) with my teacher, this will help you learn Parelli with some helpful insight. Her rates are very reasonable- the most affordable lessons I’ve ever taken. ($25 for an hour-long private lesson. Add 30 minutes if you share the lesson with another person!)

Wildfire is located at a great barn in Spring Valley, WI. You will have access to an INDOOR arena, a large outdoor arena, a round pen, and woods for trail riding. You will have FULL Care Lease of Wildfire, as I will be off to college. This means you’re free to come out and play with him whenever you want to. You may use all of my horse supplies including my saddle, helmet, and Parelli equipment; you won’t need to invest in any of those extras!

The only costs you’ll pay for are his board and your lessons. Board is $170 per month and lessons are $25 each (1 Hour). I will continue paying for the farrier every 6 weeks, yearly shots and coggins, and yearly dental work.

E-mail for more photos and information! I am open to ideas about lease options, especially to the right person!
If you are really interested, you’re more than welcome to take some lessons with Wildfire this summer before you commit to a lease.

Thanks, Danielle

Very Special Registered 3 yo Icelandic Stallion
This guy has been raised naturally his whole life, and I'd like to see him stay that way. Well shaped, hard hooves, silky, flaxen/gray mane and shiny copper kettle coat. He has always been THE head turner of the pasture. Such a handsome guy.. imagine when he's fully mature! He is kind, gentle, eager to please, good with children, and very quick to learn. Plus, he is gaited! E-mail lundfam @ jamadots.com for more pics and info. $6,000 (05/19/08)


El Hassa Brightly Star was born on St. Patrick's Day 2004. He is an Arabian/Welsh cross and measures 14.3 hh. His feet have always been cared for by a Certified Natural Hoof Trimmer. He is current on all shots has been wormed regularly. He is presently triple registered with Arabian, Welsh and Welara Registries but also qualifies for The American Sport Pony Registry. Brightly is bay with black points and a star. He has tiny comma ears with tan tips and black feathers at his feet. Brightly has had four months of professional English/dressage training and has been started over jumps. During his fourth month of training, he was ridden and shown by a ten year old rider. While he was imprinted at birth and very loving and gentle, he is extremely bright and would do better with an experienced horse person, either a child or small adult. He is virtually fearless, having been trail ridden and would do well in eventing, dressage, endurance or most any other horse sport because he loves his job and has a very good work ethic. Excellent and loving home is a must for this guy. I'm asking $5,000. He is located in North Texas. Serious inquires only, please.

Fancy That is an 8 yo registered paint, very pretty 14.2 hand steel gray mare. Not for a beginner rider. Very lovely forward mover, collected trot, still a bit green at the canter and over fences. Flat work is more her forte. Very good natured and good with other horses. I believe she has done some showmanship classes and that she was ridden western. She has been barefoot for at least two years. She has the potential to be a lovely dressage pony for a small adult. email for info and pics - naturallyraw @ hotmail.com (04/14/08)


Twist is a 14 yo registered Quarter Horse, 15.2 hand liver chestnut gelding. He goes english and western and is willing to go over very small jumps. He is limited in jump height due to his feet. He was unable to stay completely sound in shoes but has done very well barefoot as long as he is ridden in his Easy Boots. he is good with people and horses. I know his background was working cows. I believe he would make a great 4H horse. email for info and pics - naturallyraw @ hotmail.com (04/14/08)


Brett is a 20 yo morgan, 14.1 liver chestut gelding. He goes english and western. He doesnt jump. he has been barefoot for years. He has had some time off recently but he is able to go back into work. brett is very good with people but can be dominant with other horses. My mare is in love with him so he does get along with her. I think he would be happiest being a trail horse for one rider. He was intended for a few lessons a week but he doesnt seem to enjoy it. email for info pics - naturallyraw @ hotmail.com (04/14/08)

Huge walk and canter, naturally working trot. Lots of hock action and push, and good feet.

He's very expressive and a total sweetheart. I will only sell to a good home. Asking $3,000, but home is the real issue. Don't let him pass you by. I'm already mourning my loss, but have to as I'm starting a career and can't do him justice. But if I can't find a good home, he will stay with me.

I am looking for homes for 2 geldings I rescued. Both were diagnosed with navicular and their owners were not interested in pursuing any more options with them.
One is a nine year old paint gelding, he has been barefoot now three years and I did start some light riding with him, and have done some level 1 parelli with him and he is great at it. He is not fully sound, but keeps getting better all of the time, I am losing the place where I keep my horses and will not be able to afford to board them out. He is darling and a big boy at least 16' 1, if not 16' 2, and oh so cute, it will break my heart to let him go, but I have no choice, plus he needs someone with more time than I can give him.
The other gelding is a 16 yr old quarter horse, also very, very cute. He is light sorrel with flaxen mane and tail He was a champion halter horse when he was young, I have had him now 4 yrs and he has come a long way. Just this last year, we have been able to do some light riding, he is very quiet. He could probably handle some light riding. He is a good 16' 1 hands. Very handsome guy.
These two guys are best buds and are very low in the pecking order. I have pictures if someone is interested, please e-mail me at Comgabrielle @ aol.com (01/10/08)


SPEED racking Gelding. Six year old chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, magnificent barefoot gaiting machine. Registered Racking horse who won reserve world champion speed Racker as a 3 year old. capable of speeds at the rack in excess of 25 MPH.
Has superb rocking horse canter,slow gait and animated trot as well as his blistering, trail eating rack. Very sound. NEVER barn sour, and used to ATV's, Guns, trucks, and has been ridden on the side of a busy highway without so much as flinching-FEARLESS and so bold.
Been barefoot for 5 months. Horse transitioned in a day and was negotiating tough, rocky mountain trails in 2 days.
His comfirmation is lovely, with a short powerful back, big proud swan neck, and lovely, kind eye. His temperament and ground manners are flawless, BUT he is powerful and wants to lead on the trail, He is not a slug and is most content when trucking along. He would make an incredible endurance prospect.
We are moving overseas, otherwise this horse would not be for sale. We request a farm where is is only stabled in bad weather. Where he can have room to run and graze.We want him to have a pasture buddy, as he adores other horses. Also, Please no riders over 200 LBS. Sorry no offense, but I am from a country where people are not permitted to ride over this weight and I consider it cruel.
Once in a lifetime barefooted gaited horse $4500

The Horse's Hoof makes no warranties and accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of these ads. It is up to the buyer/seller to fully investigate each other before exchanging an animal. Ad will be listed for up to 3 months, and then may be removed and the ad will need to be re-submitted. Please let us know when the horse is placed, so that we may remove the ad and keep this list up to date. Please include as much info about your horse's hoofcare and living conditions as you can, this will be extremely important to the purchasers on this site! All ads must be relevant and appropriate. This is a free service, so we reserve the right to refuse any ad for any reason. Inappropriate ads will not be posted. We will not accept ads such as those asking for generic "free" horses to be given to the poster.

NOTE: Your ad will not go up immediately (this is not an automatic system). You will have to wait for us to manually update this page, which we do on a regular basis.

WARNING! Beward of horse-purchase scams. Sellers are being contacted by long distance buyers (usually from foreign countries), and offered cashier's checks for as much as double the purchase price - then asked to refund the difference. The checks are fake, and are rejected by the bank. DO NOT sell your horse to someone, until you have investigated them thoroughly, preferably in person. And for goodness sakes, do not release a horse or other item into someone else's custody until the check has cleared!! Scam artists, leave us alone!
