All horses that are offered for sale here are handpicked for their athleticism, soundness and general demeanor. I pride myself in producing well behaved horses that are ready to take on the world when they leave my barn. All of these horses have excellent ground manners, and are completely accostumed to the usual variety of tasks (clipping, loading, farrier, etc.).
My current employer, Braeburn Training Center, provides me with eyes and ears on local Thoroughbred prospects. Some of the horses you see below are ones that I have galloped for months and now are entering the Kate Samuels racetrack rehab.
Psalm Sunday
2008 Thoroughbred Gelding
"Sunday" is an absolutely lovely young gelding. He is the epitome of bomb-proof, and anybody can ride him. He has comfortable, easy gaits, automatic changes, and will never do anything naughty. I galloped him at the track for the past 4 months, and he shows absolutely no interest in going fast. He is 15.3 hands, and built like a little quarter horse. He has perfect ground manners, and loves to be loved on!
Sunday started free-jumping the first week in November, and really enjoys it. He shows quite a bit of talent. He has jumped under saddle a few times, and is green but willing.
Sunday is perfect for an amatuer or child looking to do lower level hunter jumpers, eventing or even dressage. He is looking for a best friend who will give him tons of attention.
Asking $15,000.

Shakey's Prize
2005 Thoroughbred Mare
SOLD!
"Shakey" was an incredibly successful racehorse, earning over $200,000 for her owners and retiring sound without any major medical issues. She has never had any tendon or ligament strains, and has never been injected. She is a very workmanlike individual, who enjoys having a job and doing it well. She was retired from the track in March of 2011, and has been letting down since then. She is currently turned out with buddies for the winter to relax.
I free jumped Shakey some this summer, and she showed good instincts. She is careful, neat and an exhuberent over-jumper. She has nice, balanced gaits. She is an incredibly smart horse, who needs an equally smart rider to teach her a new job. She is most suited to an ambitious young rider or an experienced individual on a tight budget.
Because of her lack of formal re-training, Shakey is offered at a very reasonable price. Her owner would very much like to see her go to a good home and get the respect that she deserves for the success she has earned.
