BUCKSKIN COLT FOR SALE



Due to age and health issues we have decided to drastically downsize.  In fact we are moving to a somewhat smaller farm and need to sell down to the number of stalls we will have.  That being the case, here are a few of what we have for sale.  If anything interests you, feel free to contact us at :  foxvangen@yahoo.com or 870-258-3885.  We will be happy to work with you.

This is Zeus, a yearling stud colt sired by Danney Joe's Golden Shadow and out of Go Boy's Zorro I.A...aka Zoe.   He is friendly and gentle.  Likes attention and to pull pranks.  He looks like he will get some height to him.  Lovely bone and feet and joints and a pretty face.   He gaits in pasture and has a nice natural true canter.

It's been a real busy and hectic summer here as I'm sure it has been other places. Guess age is making such busy times harder on me but we get through it just the same. I meant to get this posted ages ago but things took precedence. If you are looking for a strong, big mare with a lot of flash and show we have one to offer. She is right at 16 hands and is shiny black tobiano with only one spot on her shoulder and four long stockings. She carries a high tail and has a nice neck set. She flat walks, run walks and fox trots and has a rocking chair canter. We are cutting back due to our age and my husbands poor health. We will be moving next summer to a place that has fewer stalls so I must sell some of the horses so we "fit" the new place.

She is gentle and sweet on the ground and stands well for mounting and farrier etc etc. She looks fat here due to having just foaled. She is trim now. She covers ground well and is easy to gait though not particularly set in gait. In the photos Scott (our farrier) had never ridden gaited before and yet he was able to achieve a flat walk, fox trot and running walk with simple instruction from me. We are asking $3500. for Zoe and she is worth much more. She has had two foals, the latest is a lovely buckskin colt who will also be offered for sale for $1500.  Zeus is a yearling and is friendly, good natured and still in tact.

INVASION OF WILDLIFE

July 22, 2014

The neighbor boy, Tyler, needed a bit of cash in order to go to state with the 4H. He took first place in the county and his topic is wildlife recognition etc. He did a few little jobs for me and then was talking. He told me something I had no idea about. We have wild hogs in our wash!! Wild hogs are very destructive and dangerous. We knew they were close but still across the river. No more it seems. Tyler is a good trapper so he and his grandfather are building hog traps to catch as many as possible. This means I'll have to be super careful with my little dogs! They would not stand a chance against
wild hogs.

A brand new HOWDY

Well howdy, howdy everyone!  They say it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks and you know what?  They're right!!!!   So my lovely daughter built me a blog and is now trying to teach me how to use it....so bear with me. 


I'm hoping this will shortcut things that take me so long to update on my web page and also open a new line of communication.   SO, here's an invitation for y'all to come along and chat...horses or whatever.
