Our horses are afforded the best of care and quality management, which not only includes a proper natural diet with organic herbs and supplements but regular body work, dental, farrier care and later in life, appropriate equipment for riding including fitted saddles and relevant head gear with properly fitted bits.

​​On average, people begin the purchasing process when a horse is between the ages of one and two years of age.  A down payment is required at this time, and payments are arranged to be spread out over time if necessary.

During the following months or years, new owners can spend as much time as they like during the growing up and educational part of development. Progress reports, photos and even videos are given to keep you updated on your new horse.

Owner education is as important as the horse's development. Much time is spent on teaching you health, care, handling and training of your new horse.

If you find you or your horse needs more education after the initial foundation, we can work out a program that fits your budget in order for you to progress and feel comfortable with your new horse.

You are not only buying a new horse but a support system with world class educational information.
