Warrenton. 2002
16.3h Bay Oldenburg Gelding by Walzertraum out of a Graf
Grannus mare. This well-bred gelding was recently imported
from Germany, where he was winning in the young horse classes
up to 1.25m. Warrenton has a fantastic calm, amateur-minded
demeanor and striking looks which beg for the chance to
show off in the Hunter/Equitation ring! He is a lovely
mover with great confirmation and a stunning neck and top-line.
Warranton always gives perfect lead changes,
and is brave and correct over the jumps. He walks
with the confidence of a winner into every ring, from the
13 & Under Equitation
to the Pre-Green and Adult Amateur Hunters. Horses with
the talent and a mind like this one are extremely rare,
and we are looking forward to being the ones to beat
in the 1st Years and Amateur Owner Divisions in 2009.

Bewitched. 2002
16.2h bay Westphalian mare by Salamander out of a mare
by the world class stallion Pilot. With mileage in a professional
program, this mare will be a true three ring wonder. Shown
in Europe in the 1.30 5 year old classes, she was qualified
for the German young horse championships before coming
to the States. She is a beautiful, elegant type, and has
a fluid, correct hunter jump and will go through the Working
Division. She has the scope and speed to continue in the
jumper ring and become a top Jr/AO horse. She also always
covers up any bad distance with her quick front end, making
her an ideal prospect for the equitation. A true quality
horse and a born winner.

Grammar
School. 2001 16.2h bay Westphalian mare by Nation's Cup winner Gralshueter out of Traviata by Trajan. Grammar School showed through the 1.20m jumpers as a 5 and 6 year old in Germany, and has successfully shown in the Hunters in California, including championships in the Adult Amateur Hunters at The Oaks and Showpark "AA" show, and top placings in the A/O Hunters.
She has darling flat movement, and a strong desire to win. She is uncomplicated, sweet, and easy to handle in the barn, and will make a great addition to any trainer's program. In the ring, she is extremely careful, and jumps every fence in super form. She carries her own pace, and is the perfect ride for any Junior or Amateur who likes get in a half seat and let her do the job!
Grammar School will undoubtedly continue to pile up the ribbons in the Hunters, and has now begun to successfully show in the Medals and Equitation. She instantly seemed made for the job, she loves the complexity of the courses, and rises to the occasion in the work offs. She is a useful horse who can compete in all three rings with class.

Grand
Avenue. 2001 16.3h bay Deutsches
Reitpferde gelding by Grand Galopin out of Jessica by Jura.
Grand Avenue’s breathtaking looks and strong presence
will definitely get you noticed! He is always a judge's
favorite in the over fences, and with such lovely movement,
he is certain to get a good piece of the hack!
Grand Avenue has proven to be extremely consistent
and reliable with his stellar performance. He won
many prestigious titles and Championships throughout
2007, and has been AA Hunter 18-35 Champion or Reserve
at over 8 shows, in addition to winning 6 consecutive AA
Hunter Classics in 2008.
By the end of July 2008, Grand Avenue was Leading Zone 10 in points for Horse of the Year in the Adult Amateur Hunters 18-35 in both the USEF and the Pacific Coast Horse Show Association, ultimately placing third in for year-end without attending any further shows. In 2009 he has been Reserve Champion in the Low A/O Hunters, and taken top placings, with a rider new to the hunter ring, at shows such as The Del Mar National and LA Memorial.
Grand Avenue is a brave, comfortable, and
fun horse who is full of personality. He loves attention,
and is thrilled to get treats of any kind! A very versatile
horse, he will go from the Hunters to the Medal classes,
and is always excited about a good trail ride. He is experienced
and clever enough for an Adult, but also loves a small
rider, making him perfect for a Children's Hunter. He was
Champion in the Pre-Green, Reserve Champion in the Children's
13 & Under, and Reserve Champion in the AA Hunters
18-35, all at the Santa Barbara National Horse Show, proving
he has something to offer for everyone!

Nottingham. 1995 16.2h bay Dutch Gelding. Nottingham is a lovely seasoned show horse. He is a versatile type who has competed with success from the Junior Jumpers to the Junior/AO Hunters. He is unbelievably well schooled on the flat, from the half-pass to pirouette to tempi changes, making him also an ideal Equitation and Medal cross-over mount. His jumping style is always correct, even at the 2’6” height. He can be easily ridden either with contact or loopy reins, and has great adjustability.
Nottingham is the perfect teacher to start a rider in the 2’6” to 3’ hunters, for a more experienced rider in the 3’3” to 3’6”, and is also suitable to show in Dressage. Wears a cribbing collar in the stall.

Pardon
My French. 2000 15.3h bay Cheval De Selle (French) mare. "Chiquita" is
both a proven broodmare and an experienced show
horse. She had foals
as a young mare, then was professionally started as a hunter and
shown in North Carolina, won ribbons at Woodside, and was Champion
in the Baby Green Division at Del Mar Showpark in September 2007.
She is a stunning type, and always stands out in a crowd,
attracting tons of attention and admirers.
With a solid foundation
at the 3' level and basic Dressage,
Chiquita is ready to start jumping in the higher classes. Because
she has such a forward, willing way of going, we have discovered her real passion and skill lies in the Jumpers! She has a great gallop, loads of stamina but not “hot”, and is ready to get out there and win. She is very adjustable, her steering is amazing, and she glides over the fences like a cat from any distance. She is careful and quick through the air, and is perfect for the Children’s/Adult Jumpers.
In addition, she is a great prospect for the Eventing world, and has been ridden extensively on the trail. In June, she schooled cross country at Galway Downs by a 13 year old rider. She was great up and down the banks, over the solid fences, and especially liked the water complex.

Pocket
Aces. 2003 16.1h chestnut Mecklenburger gelding by Pamir out of a Remus mare. Pocket Aces is so sweet, he has a total puppy dog personality, and an eye that will melt your heart. He is the type that loves to spend quality time with his owner and is always looking to please. He has super cute movement, a great jump, flashy markings, and is just as easy and pleasant to ride as he is to work around.
With such eye-catching looks everyone notices him, and one day he will be one of the prettiest and most envied Child/Adult Hunters on the circuit. At his first show ever, he marched around the "A" AA Hunters taking top ribbons over fences and scoring an 80 in the classic round! This horse is a total steal for anyone looking for an easy, but fancy prospect that is ready to be a solid contender in both the Amateur and the Pre-green Hunters.

Daisy. 2004
16.1h bay extremely well bred Thouroughbred mare. Daisy had a short
career on the racetrack and in the polo field; she is so laid back
that she would rather socialize than run against her peers.
A top "A" Circuit Hunter/ Jumper trainer imported
Daisy from Florida to California, and professionally started her
to follow her true calling as a Hunter/Jumper. Sadly, she must sell
Daisy quickly because of her busy on-the-road show schedule, and she
is offering Daisy at a price that is way below her value.
Daisy truly
lives up to her name; she is sweet, pretty, and easygoing. She has
a powerful and careful jump, and is always trying to please.
She
has been training over courses up to 3'3" with young girls,
and already jumps gates, walls, flowers, liverpools, and combinations!
She has a giant stride, and has started lead changes. Daisy is
so simple, she is a great horse for a kid to finish!

Penny. 1995
16.2h Chestnut mare WB/TB cross by Hall of Fame out of a TB mare. Penny
is always a favorite around the barn. She has impeccable ground manners
and a very sweet personality. She has done it all, from eventing to
a 3’3” “A” Show Amateur Hunter career,
and would love to show you the ropes.
She is very comfortable, a nice
mover, and brave to the jumps. Penny carries her own pace and does
not need a rider who kicks or drives. She is great on the flat, even
for someone who does not have a very strong or advanced seat or leg.
Penny
was owned by a teenager for the last year, and a young girl for the
4 years before that. She took her kid from the x-rails to the Low
Children's Hunters! Now she is looking for a loving new home. A great
addition to any trainer's barn, this uncomplicated mare is a must see
for someone looking for a teacher and a best friend!

Giana. 2002
16.1 h Warmblood mare by Graf Royal out of Windbeneathherwing by Avenue
of the Flags. Giana is a beautiful eye-catching dapple grey color,
has athletic movement and an uphill jumper/equitation frame. She goes
like a warmblood and likes to be sent forward off of your leg. She
is not spooky, and is straightforward and brave to the jumps.
Giana
is being ridden by a very talented junior and is already jumping
3' to 3'6" courses
with good lead changes. Much to our delight, she has inherited great
jumping qualities from both sides of her bloodlines, and has loads
more scope for the future! She gives you a really powerful feeling
in the air like she can jump way higher, but doesn't pop you out
of the saddle. She has easy steering, a huge stride, but is also very
adjustable. Giana is ready to start showing and winning in the Jumpers,
or to start a career in the Equitation!
She is a super investment
project for a dedicated junior or amateur to finish, and a great
home that will take advantage of her potential is a must. Please
no novices or beginners, this horse is far too athletic for an
inexperienced rider. Current X-rays available.

Brisant. 1998
Stunning Large Deutsches Reitpony gelding imported from Europe. A real
head turner with ultra flashy looks and movement, this one gets compliments
everywhere he goes!
He was started for dressage as a 6 year-old in Germany, and is
very talented and flashy! He loves the contact, moves well and forward
off the leg, and has a great uphill frame. We would like to see him
as a Hunter because he shows incredible form over every fence from
every distance, but he is peeky at the fences and needs an experienced
rider to give him confidence. He is currently jumping 2'6" courses
and does his lead changes.
Brisant is sensitive
and best suited for a confident child or small adult rider- not for
a beginner. He is a long-term project for someone who wants to make
a top dollar hunter pony, or a good prospect to finish for dressage.
He is a kind pony who does not bite, kick, buck, or rear. He has
never had any health issues. This pony has so much quality, but we
don't have the time he needs. First $17,500 takes him to a good home.
