Update: 5/15 I have uploaded the content from joustingwarhorse.com as a test and will be further integrating our other equine-related sites into this one, assuming it all works out.

For those who have seen on facebook, we’ve had some hardware challenges on our website server, and yours truly is in the process of rebuilding it more or less from content backups. Many of the tabs don’t work yet because I don’t have their configurations uploaded yet… but I’m getting there :=)

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Lily was a beloved pleasure horse in her “past life.”  She is free from blemishes or unsoundness.  She stands quietly for the vet and farrier, for clippers, for baths, or just to be loved on in the aisle or stall.  Lily loads and unloads willingly from both a straight and slant-load trailer.

Lily is a granddaughter of the great French distance stallion, Val de l’Orne.  I was told by a pedigree expert that Val de l’Orne’s is “one of the best TB jumping lines in existence, and has been for at least 4 generations of sires. ”

This video clip shows Lily’s first free jumping school, and first time tackling an in-and-out.  I loved watching her figure things out, experiment with the striding, and learn to use her body in new, more powerful ways.  The geldings watching from the pasture were certainly impressed   She cleared each fence eagerly and effortlessly, promising a great future over fences.  Currently asking $5500, price will increase with training.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your help with Leo. I worked with him again today and he was phenomenal! It took him less then ten minutes to load into the open trailer, then less than five more minutes after that to load into it with the one side closed. He even self loaded for me twice! By the end of our hour long session he had loaded multiple times and the last time he walked right in like a champ with no hesitations and no pauses what so ever! I think within a few more practices he will be loading this way every time and will self-load in no time as well! He is so calm and comfortable in the trailer as well which is something I never thought would come this soon. I was able to load him, give him some treats and love, and then walk away from him to shut him in and close the rear bar all on my own! He never even got uncomfortable or tried to back out when I left his side to walk around and shut him in. I feel like your training method really clicked with him, and for me too! Now I can be excited about taking him places and not worry about how I’m going to get him there and home safely. Thanks again so much and I’ll keep you updated on his progress.

2nd Update & progress report!!!:

Hi again! Just thought you might like to know that I practiced with Leo for about 15mins today and he probably loaded over 8 times in that time span! He is really doing better and better every day and is almost pulling me to the trailer when he sees the ramp is down. Thanks again so much!

This lovely, talented horse was bred by Steffanie Simpson at White Hall Farm. You may contact her directly by email at whitehallfarm@frontiernet.net or phone at 304-728-1114 and 304-283-2854.

We take our time with the horses we represent. We develop a rigorous foundation in each horse using classical dressage and natural horsemanship, establishing a solid base of trust, confidence, and problem-solving ability. We let their individual temperaments and talents help us guide them towards the specialties in which they’ll thrive.

Our horses are friendly, respectful and fun friends on the ground. Under saddle, our horses learn lightness, responsiveness and partnership. The result? An unforgettable ride!

We honestly represent the horses we offer for sale. Because most people’s relationship with their horses is a fairy-tale come true, we strive to create ‘happily-ever-afters!’

Viz is a beautiful mover with a good brain and a kind heart.  He is willing and obedient in a happy mouth snaffle.  I used him in a couple of lessons this summer with an advanced student who immediately fell in love with him, and would have bought him had she not been entering her freshman year of college! He has clean legs, maintains a good hoof barefoot, and is up to date on worming, shots and dentistry.  We are currently asking $1250.00.

Here is Viz’s recent  introduction to related fences:

This is Viz’s first introduction to jumping, taken a few days after he arrived.  We were thrilled with his rolling canter and easy rhythm, which has only improved with schooling!

Our working student fell in love with Viz on sight.  This is maybe his third ride since coming out of retirement:

They moved on into the field without skipping a beat:

Let this extraordinary Pinto Friesian Percheron cross color your world! Drummer Boy is already around 16 hands at coming 4 years of age.  He will have the size to impress and the substance to carry it soundly.  His look-at-me color (complete with rare ink-spot markings) and flowing mane (carefully combed over for this conformation photo) complement his correct conformation and movement.

Drummer Boy has a quiet, sweet personality that make training sessions a true joy. His solid foundation includes natural horsemanship type groundwork, sacking out, longeing, and ground driving.  Drummer Boy is currently priced at $4900 or best reasonable offer. He will be started under saddle next month, and his price will increase then.

We are absolutely crazy about Angus, our 6 year old, 16.1 hand Shire-TB! With his great mind, cloud-like gaits, and storybook look., what’s not to love!

Friends leased our TB Deva’s Delight, now known as Angel’s Gift. They bred her to the breathtaking registered Shire, Knutsford Edward. Thus came Angus into this world. When they found they couldn’t keep horses any longer, we joyfully welcomed him home!

Angus has the sweet personality and trainability of his mama, and his daddy’s power and charisma. His groundwork and long-lining are solid.   He has been lightly started under saddle.  Even before he was officially “started,”  Angus came along for many of our off-the-farm adventures where he has learned to trailer quietly, to wait calmly, and to focus on his person though the chaos of the show grounds. This gorgeous youngster is becoming quite the worldly gentleman… and he never fails to attract an admiring crowd!

Angus is not currently in training (strictly due to personal reasons) and his price reflects this. $5500.

Everyone Loves Angus…even Argent the barncat!

Even as a youngster, Angus was irresistable!  In this photo I’d brought him in for a trim… and couldn’t resist hopping up on him for a bareback ride around the paddock.

Enjoy this clip of Angus’ sire, Knutsford Edward:
