We offer For Sale rare, hardy, athletic Lusitano x American Bashkir Sporthorses & Warmbloods bred for competition, versatility, and temperament. Our horses live in herd groups in pastures of varied terrain including woods and some water crossings. This lifestyle provides our horses with a strong foundation of appropriate social skills that can only develop within a herd group, and establishes trail sense and agility for future training. When our horses come of training age, they are schooled gradually on the ground employing methods from: natural horsemanship, longing with side reins, and schooling with long lines; and then in the arena, on the trail, and in close proximity to other horses in informal Drill Team Sessions to shape equine athletes balanced both physically as well as mentally. If you are interested in a horse to work cows - while started with Dressage training, our horses are responsive to the rider's aids and are comfortable around cattle by being raised and schooled around our small herd of naturally raised Herefords. We are breeding and preparing personable hardy athletes with solid foundations to pursue any future discipline; and offer some of our foals for sale in utero by deposit.
