**New Video & Price Reduction**

Limited Stylin Fella (Barley) is a 2021 Buckskin Overo Halter Gelding (regular registry), approximately 15.2-15.3 hands tall. Barley is the horse everyone always tells me they are looking for - Quiet, attractive, easy to ride, more whoa than go. He is making excellent progress in his ranch training (riding, rail and especially trail). I would still characterize him as green, however all the pieces are there now. It’s just a matter of putting time and miles on him to get him competitive in the ranch show pen .

While he may be green under saddle, Barley is an already proven halter horse. He has 80.5 halter points (44 amateur points, 36.5 open points), 22 grand championships and 16 reserve championships with limited showing. Barley is by multiple world champion BRT Limited Edition out of Mr. Yella Fella. His dam is by Hes Stylin.

Barley is 4 panel negative: 1 copy of PSSM1 and 1 copy of MYHM. He is non-symptomatic (no vaccine reactions) and is on vitamin E as part of his regular supplements. This has never caused him an issue, and it is only known due to his genetic testing done by the owners.

Winter is coming and the owners have too many yearlings coming up!! The price reduction reflects this, not the quality of the horse.

Asking $12,000
Located in Wilton, Ca.

Limited Stylin Fella (Barley) is a 2021 APHA Buckskin Overo Halter Gelding (regular registry), approximately 15.2-15.3 hands tall. Barley is good-minded, eager to please, versatile, and ready to go in whatever direction you want. He has 80.5 halter points (44 amateur points, 36.5 open points), 22 grand championships and 16 reserve championships with limited showing. Barley is by multiple world champion BRT Limited Edition out of Mr. Yella Fella. His dam is by Hes Stylin.
Barley, though green, is well started and is currently in training with an eye towards the ranch events. He should excel in the ranch trail as he is very good with his feet and has, so far, been unphased by anything. He’s had the rope swung on him, dragged and has been exposed to cattle. With consistent continued riding and training, he should be ready to show by next show season in ranch rail, riding and trail, and of course, conformation.
Barley is 4 panel negative: 1 copy of PSSM1 and 1 copy of MYHM. He is non-symptomatic (no vaccine reactions) and is on vitamin E as part of his regular supplements.
