Beautiful 2022 liver chestnut filly with all of the chrome!!

Incredibly personable, sweet, and easy to handle "Merlot" (barn name) is by renowned US based stallion, Gaudi SSF, by Totilas! He has been proving to throw very trainable brains as well as talent!

Perfectly marked with chrome, she is a true liver chestnut, and she has the wow factor so many people are looking for in a performance horse. She should mature to about 16.2, she's very elegant and well balanced even as a two year old!

Already registered and microchipped with KWPN, and USDF and USEF life registrations. She has been very pleasant on the ground, loves attention, and seems like she's going to be super trainable. She already stands tied for grooming, has no issues leaving her friends in the field, and has been an easy keeper.

Life circumstances are taking owner in a different direction and they are look to find her the right home, but she has been a dream for them to have. She has an amazing brain and is incredibly agreeable! Recently moved to a new facility and handled loading onto two different trailers like a superstar. ⭐️

Super weekend at the Early Morning Blues horse show at the Pinehurst Harness Track this weekend!!

Sima Ramazani took over the reins of John Schaaf’s wonderful horse, Ferrante CF, aka Pepper earlier this year and this weekend they had their debut horse show!! Sima and Pepper competed in first level test three winning 2 of their rides, and placing second in her last ride with the scores of a 69.7%, 70.4% and a 71.6%!! 🎉🎉So proud of them both!! ❤️❤️

I also had the pleasure of coaching Luke Mclaughlin and his clients horse, Prodigie. Luke has started and trained this horse himself, and at only 4 years old and his second horse show ever, Prodigie earned a 75.2%, 76.7%, and a 79.6%!! 🎉🙌🏼🙌🏼 Awesome job Luke!!

⭐️Custom Saddlery⭐️ both horses love their custom saddles!!

I’ve done a horrible job of advertising, mostly because I love this baby horse!! But he does need to find his new home that will showcase all of his talent! He has a super character. Umbrellas, plastic bags, rattley paddles, he is not phased! I think he will be a super amateur or junior horse for the future or would be a fun project for a professional.

Optimus Prime SMCF is a registered Friesian Sport Horse gelding (who could also be registered Georgian Grande). He also has his USEF lifetime membership. His unique coloring is called amber champagne and he a little over 2 years old (04/14/21). We estimate him to finish 16.0 hands. (Sire is 16.2, dam is 15.2) He has a thicker build, with straight legs and very much an easy keeper. He has such a wonderful personality. Super friendly, inquisitive and open to trying new things. These pictures took an arsenal of creative “scary things” as he just didn’t find them to be scary at all 😂. His sire is Otto P whom I’ve trained and shown successfully through Fourth level and is currently schooling all of the PSG. He has won numerous championships and top placings under his belt, including a top 10 placement at USDF Finals against several warmbloods. He is the type of stallion that can be jazzed up enough for a professional to do piaffe and tempi changes, but quiet enough for someone new to learn the basics on. His dam is Jasmine Jazz, a very modern looking saddlebred with a sweet temperament and beautiful gaits.

As much as it saddens me, it will be a while longer before I can start or work with newly started young horses again and this guy deserves the best. I have no doubt he will be a little superstar when he is ready to be started next spring. Low 🥕🥕,🥕🥕🥕
