As It Happens (Finn)
For Sale – Finn, 11 y/o OTTB Gelding
📍 Height: 15.3–16h
🖤 Discipline: Dressage (with upper level potential!)
💰 Price: $10,000
Finn is the total package — handsome, kind, and ready to shine in his next partnership. He has been slowly and correctly developed in dressage over the last 6 months, with consistent scores in the 60s at USDF Intro levels and qualified for a schooling series championship (10/5/25). His gaits are regularly scoring 7s, and he is now confidently schooling First Level with a start on some Second Level movements.
✨ Highlights:
- UTD on vaccines, dental, farrier, deworming, everything
- Currently in a full set of shoes (may try barefoot after October shows)
- Soft in the bridle, moves easily off the leg, no longer a push ride
- Easy to load, haul, and handle — true amateur/kid-friendly personality
- Wonderful on trails: calm, quiet, and confident alone or with others
- Comfortable with beginners, but fancy enough for a rider looking to progress up the levels
Finn does have a cosmetic blemish from a possible old track or pasture injury. It’s not pretty, but he has always been 100% sound, with zero issues for well over a year (confirmed with his prior owner as well).
He’s been off the track for over 7 years and has also done other disciplines prior to his dressage training. With his natural movement, steady mind, and work ethic, Finn has everything it takes to become a truly spectacular dressage horse in the right program.
✅ Ideal home: A rider who will keep him in a steady 3–4 day/week program and continue to bring him up the levels.
Finn is a joy to have in the barn — easy, personable, and eager to please. He’ll make someone very proud as he continues to progress.
📅 Note: Finn will be available for trial rides after his championship show on 10/5/25. Until then, interested buyers are welcome to come meet him, watch him school, or see him compete, but no trial rides will be scheduled prior to that date to keep him in his training routine.

Don’t Get Caughtup (Oliver)
For Sale – Oliver, 5 y/o OTTB Gelding
📍 Height: 15.3–16h
🖤 Discipline: Dressage (young horse with excellent potential)
💰 Price: $8,000
Oliver is a sweet, personable young gelding with all the qualities to make a fantastic partner for someone who enjoys bringing along a young horse. At just 5 years old, he already shows kindness, willingness, and a steady temperament that make him easy to enjoy both on the ground and under saddle.
He is currently schooling Intro dressage and learning the basics of balance and rhythm. His trot work is coming along nicely, while his canter still has some youthful greenness — it’s a bit forward and quick, but improving with each ride as he gains strength and balance.
✨ Highlights:
- 15.3–16h, athletic and nicely put together
- Kind, gentle personality — easy to handle
- Enjoys work and is straightforward for a young horse
- Green but safe, an ideal project for a rider who wants to bring one up the levels slowly and correctly
- Best suited for a program where he gets regular, consistent work
- Very comfortable and relaxed at home/on property; still gaining confidence off property and will need more mileage before he’s fully settled at shows and new places
Oliver is the type of young horse who wants to please and has the raw ingredients to grow into a very special partner with the right rider. He is ready to continue his development and will shine with someone who enjoys the process of producing a talented OTTB. He will likely do great at jumping.

Finn
Finn’s most recent USDF Intro B test. He did great! He was a little looky but very soft in between looks.
Oliver
Recent rides (within the last month). He's doing great! His canter is fast but slowing a bit already and doesn't feel out of control, he just needs miles.
Sensei
Sensei calm and relaxed, enjoying a trail ride, exploring in hand obstacles, and riding in an arena for the first time off property. He was nervous at first but settled in and did great!
