"Scooter" 

I've known Scooter for quite a while now and I have a special bond with him.  In fact, everyone who comes in contact with him develops this connection with him.  He is a very special horse.

He has his own journal here on my website, I called him LG, but he outgrew that name.

As time goes on he shows his incredible potential.  At this point he's a gorgeous, knee snapping, hunter jumper.  When I  say this boy can jump, it's a bit of an understatement.

He's a fabulous mover with quite a bit of overstep at the walk and almost unreal flat kneed trot and that sought after uphill canter -- naturally.

Scooter has the you show me and I'll do attitude.  He's jumping beautifully, no rushing.

He stands, ties, self loads and is sound with no vices.  Barefoot with super feet and up to date on everything.

He's done several 8 mile trail rides and goes with or without company.  He's the same horse at home or wherever you go together.

He is currently showing 2 ft. and is consistently in the ribbons

and schooling 2'9" in the ring with easy.

Link to video of Scooter.

in Lexington, Virginia.

Her owner really enjoys riding her, but finances and equine obligations have prompted her to sell this wonderful mare.

At any rate a partner and the owner got Case in the spring of her 6th year and bred her to an Irish Draught Stallion. We both have ID crossbreds already and love them. She gave us a stunning colt last spring.

This is her baby.
 

As a yearling Case won the yearling show in Timonium, obviously a Maryland-bred.

"Wings" 

This is Purple Wings, a registered thoroughbred gelding.  I call him Purple Nurple.  I can't tell you why, but he likes it and for some reason I like to call him that.  I should call him Wings because he is so light on his feet.

He's a very nice mover.  If he's not a ten, he's close to it.  Purple knows how to longe correctly and I've been riding him about the farm a lot.  He's taking to it with intelligence and relaxation.  Purple is fun to ride.

I'm also doing ring work, and he goes on the bit nicely when asked.  He also has three fantastic gaits.  He's about a month away from competing in dressage.

I've introduced trotting poles and he is not impressed, he just trots over them.  He's started jump training and shows promise.  He's already jumped logs on the trail.

I clipped his ears and muzzle with little problem.  He was very good.  Purple is also a good shipper, cross ties and loves to be groomed.

He is by Purple Passion and out of the Winged T mare, Celestial Wings.

"Mary" 

Mother Mary C, what a horrible name for such a beautiful girl.  Mary is a four year old thoroughbred filly, by Sweetsouthernsaint and out of Blushing Sword who is by Sword Dance and Irish horse.

She stands 16.1 hands and has already been let down.  I've been riding her less than a month and I'll let the pictures tell the story.

While I don't mind if she hangs around and I get to ride her more, I know I have to sell her to make room for another horse in need.

No vices and she clips, ships and cross ties.  Never a problem.

Mary is smart and a quick study.  I've not had any trouble communicating what I want to her.  She's still very green.  Don't be deceived by the pictures, she needs lots of cross country and foundation work to strengthen her top line.

My work so far just shows how uncomplicated and fearless she is.

Mary has just started fences, but she shows potential.

She didn't blink at the bank, up or down.

She willingly jumps the ditch.

Click here for video clips of her longeing.

Mary is offered at the price of $ 2,500 and her location is Leighton Farm in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

This is Princess Warlock.  She is a 5 year old mare who has been lightly raced by me.  JK and I also broke her.

Princess is by Deputy Warlock and out of OhThereYouAre.

The owners are short on cash and a decision has been made to offer her for sale.

Princess is 15.3 hands and a very nice mover.

With her looks and movement she'd definitely make a hunter.

This picture was taken of her being ridden on July 18, 2008, at the farm.  It was her first ride since she ran.  This speaks to her fantastic temperament.

"Circe" 

Refined elegance is how I would describe this girl.  She is a Thoroughbred/Oldenburg cross.  Circe is 4 years old and 15 hands.  She has no vices and is sound.

Her movement is outstanding, especially if considering the hunter shows. Although her breeding screams eventing.

Circe was bred by a prominent horseman in our community and has very strong jumping lines.

At any rate this girl has enough raw talent for any job.  She is well broke and ready to continue on to a specific discipline.

Circe's mother, Arielle retired from eventing as a grade 2 eventer  if Judy had stuck it out another year or so she'd have made grade 1 just on her past xc performance. She was AHSA Zone 3 Horse of the Year Training level champion in 1989 and HOTY preliminary champ in 1991. She was 5th in her first 3-day, then still called preliminary, at Essex in 1991, completed Radnor Preliminary 3DE in 1992, and was on the winning Prelim team at the Chronicle of the Horse East Adult Team Champs in 1993 . Scads of wins at training and prelim from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in the late 80s and early 90s. Was 3rd in her only intermediate horse trials at Middleburg.

Circe's papa, Bacchanal, is by the TB Innkeeper (Secretariat/Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer) out of a half-tb mare, Springer, whose sire was San Diego (Oldenburg) and dam was a tb known as Up and Coming who was junior hunter champion in MD and VA for several years. Her registered name is unknown, as are her whereabouts, unfortunately. Springer had 3 babies for me, Bacchanal was her first. So there's a lot of jumping in Ms. C's history, although Springer and Bacchanal never showed.

Circe is offered at $3,500 and located in Upper Marlboro, MD, at Leighton Farm.  For more information, contact me.
