Abdulaziz Assabi - Saudi ArabiaAll of our trail riding horses are the pretty colors of black, buckskin, blue roan, red roan, gray, red dun, palomino in both QH and Paint! Plus they are all guaranteed sound and drug free!
They are suited for many ages and levels of riders from beginner on up. Depending on what you tell us you are wanting in your horse, or who and what ages and riding ability of you and your family members, we will advise you on the horse(s) that we believe would be the best match for your ability and needs. If we don`t have one that we believe would safely fit you and your family, we tell you that too! Since we are retired and our horses have been OUR lifelong loves "selling you a horse" to put a roof over our heads is not something we have to do.
We ride these horses ourselves and invite you to ride along with us on over 6,000 acres of Oklahoma country when choosing your horse! Our trail riding horses have new homes from Mexico to Montana from East Coast to West Coast with plenty of States in-between! Our clients have returned and purchased several horses from us over the years, and we sure enjoy all the life long friends we have made through our horses! Some of our horses we have sold sight unseen, and several at a time, to new owners around the country and the best part is they always let us know that the horse was EXACTLY as presented and love them! We have EXCELLENT references.
