Jamaica Mistake - Elegant TWH Mare for Sale

This is Jamaica Mistake, a beautiful, black TWH mare. Jamaica spent some time in the show ring, some time on the trail, & some time raising babies. She's done it all with grace & style. As a trail horse, she's a glide ride & is very responsive to both rein & leg cues. She also rides bareback with just a halter & lead rope.

New Caspian foal on the way...

This is Chinchilla & she is carrying a foal due later this year. Caspians are tough little horses & the cold weather doesn't seem to overly affect them. They are hardy & do not require graining; hay & access to fresh water keeps them fat & happy.

Lacy

Copy's Lacy Blue is a double registered MISSOURI FOX TROTTER and KENTUCKY MOUNTAIN SADDLE HORSE. She is 7 years old & has the gentle, laid-back disposition typical of many fox trotters & mountain horses. She is three gaited with a good, ground covering flat foot walk, a fox trot, & a nice canter. She neck reins, backs, parks out, & is easy to load/unload from a trailer. Lacy has been bred once to a RMHA/KMSHA stallion & had a nice foal with no problems in carrying or delivering the foal. She was a good mama with plenty of milk & willingly shared her foal with her people.

John John in training

John is getting stronger & faster. The interesting thing (to me) is that his trainer says he can go either way: running walk or rack.

John-John, by JFK

Training a young, gaited horse involves putting all the moving parts together. For example, Charlie is teaching John how to propel himself forward by moving off his rear end; yet, John needs to pick up his front feet & reach & also nod his head in rhythm to his steps. It's a lot for a youngster to remember to do all at once, but Charlie is a patient teacher.

Lucky me!

It's not quite my birthday yet, but this is my new birthday present: a Kubota RTV ...WOW!

Betsy cantering

Who says older horses can't learn new things? Betsy is a 15 year old registered Missouri Fox Trotter who, until recently, only walked & fox trotted. A lot of 'old time' fox trot enthusiasts used to insist that if you cantered a gaited horse it would ruin their gait. Hogwash! Charles Weatherell of Everton, MO has definitely proven them wrong. Betsy now canters but still retains her walk & smooth fox trot.
