ONE NATION ("Nation")
1997 registered chestnut Thoroughbred gelding
Nation evented in United States Eventing Association competitions and competed in the USEA Championships. He then earned Kristin her United States Dressage Federation Bronze Medal. She was able to earn all qualifying USDF scores on Nation, which is quite a feat for a Thoroughbred who evented previously! Nation is a great-grandson of Secretariat.
Nation is NOT suitable for beginners. No one under the age of 15 is permitted to ride him unless they have plenty of experience with highly sensitive horses. He will be great for riders to gain more experience on a trained horse.
PARADIGM SHIFT ("Gaia")
2009 Paint mare
Gaia was purchased in late January of 2017. She was broke but not finished to show. She has competed this past summer, with a beginner rider, in Ranch Riding and did quite well. She also competes over Mountain Trail Obstacles. In fact, Gaia and her rider were year-end Champions at Buckeye Horse Park for 2017! Gaia can be ridden English or Western. Since Western Ranch Riding and Mountain Trail Challenges are her primary disciplines, we want students on her that will continue along the same path in her training. She is a sweetheart and easy to work around.
EMMY AWARD ("Emmy")
1984 registered chestnut Appendix Quarter Horse mare
Emmy was Kristin's first show horse carrying her from a new English rider in equitation and pleasure shows to Pony Club to Hunter/Jumpers up to the B level, then onto USCTA Eventing and finished her career competing and winning at USDF 2nd Level, schooling 3rd Level Dressage.
After Emmy retired from higher-level competition in 1999, she began her career as a lesson horse. She took some students to their first events and dressage shows.
Emmy was a great schoolmaster for riders when she was retired from competitive eventing. Even after she retired from giving advanced lessons, she gave many new riders a good solid start with horses including how to properly lead a horse, how to groom and tack up, how properly mount onto a horse, etc., as well as the foundation of riding: how to get a horse to walk, turn, and halt. She is quite the confidence builder!
Emmy has been fully-retired to enjoy life. She deserves it!
From time to time we purchase Thoroughbreds for resale. Check our Sales page for information on any available horses.
