I pulled 3 mares out of a really bad situation this morning.

I will trim feet, worm and do shots before they go. All have fever rings but the feet are solid no absesses or cracks. I paid 150.00 each for them and will let them go for what I paid.

They are all easy to handle, sound and nicely bred. They are not papered but all have freeze brands so you can trace them if you had the time.

All are solid with good conformation. They are going to need groceries though.

I need STB like a hole in the head but I can't let an animal suffer. I have bathed them, untangled manes and they are already looking better. I can break em too if ya toss some coin in my direction. One of the fillies is very dominant in the pasture and might be a pain in the butt if you run all of your horses together. She tried to run my old grey mare through the fence and as a result she is now sporting some nasty bite marks. Never mess with momma! She taught the young thing a bit of manners.

All are bay, 2 are 3 years old and one is 6. The six year old won around 60,000 on the track and could have a bit of a sore back not sure yet.
If your interested PM. I'm going back outside to hop on one of them in a minute. Please send scathing PM's in my general direction to discourage me from bringing more mouths home to feed. Would have been just fine if they were TB.

Simply put "I blame my mom and dad for not allowing me to have pets) Smile LOL!!!

Throw them on the trailer heading west I'm thinking. We'll see how they do on Standard Bucking Time.

Well I was up on all three tonight. Not too bad, a bit of buck from Mz. Attitiude. They will be super easy to break, they already know the basic commands so they plow rein quite nicely. Brakes work as well. The 6 year old definately has a sore back so she will need some time off. They all let me trim feet so that has been done. I found out the jerk face is out of a stud that earned 3 million on the track! She sold for 14,500 at the yearling sale! Thank goodness for the internet!

I forgot to say, Katrina. Without papers the fillies arent worth alot.But the freeze brands are great so you can track em. No Gold, Saddle horse price if your lucky and I 'm not asking for that even. Good homes would be great. There seems to be some myths surrounding the breed. Like they can't canter always pace yadda yadda. They will be awesome trail mounts though! Northern I got another TB mare out of Alberta yesterday. Turn your MSN so I can yap at ya!

One of my favorite horses is a Standardbred off the track, who then went to combined driving, and finally was a green broke (to ride) 13 year old when I got him. He has never given me a minutes trouble. I've dragged lots of calves to the fire, and when you're on the way home from delivering the cattle where they need to be, his very fast walk is lovely, while everyone else has to jig to keep up! He is a cowy old dude too, which is surprising, as he likely never got within smelling distance of a cow until he got here. If you're looking to cover long miles, a Standardbred is a good bet.

Well if you were a lot closer I would come take a look at the Judith... One of these days I am going to have to find a horse, all the ones I am finding are western pleasure, as in show horses, that don't move like I would like them too... I wish I could explain except to say their lope feels all wrong compared to the Quarter horses I rode years ago.. Maybe it is just me getting older...
