This beautiful filly was indeed born on April 1st, and we’re not foolin’! April’s trainer tells us that she is one of the sweetest horses she has ever had, and as we were petting April in her stall while her trainer brushed her off for a photo shoot, another trainer in the same shed row walked by and told us “she’s so sweet you can curl up next to her and take a nap!” April’s trainer also told us that this sweetheart is a good eater, loves candy, loves turnout and settles in well with a group, has no vices, and is great to handle. But what April is not great at is racing — she has yet to win in 14 starts. After her last race in September, she came back with a slight filling in her ankle, so her trainer decided that with the end of the meet approaching this was a good time to let her find a new career. April was never off on the ankle at all, and it was just a minor strain that is now fully healed and she has been cleared as good to go on to do anything you want to do with her! For her jog video April trotted along politely on a loose lead and displayed lovely movement with a nice toe pointing reach from her shoulders and an even cadence. We think with this lovely movement and her pretty looks, April has great potential to shine in the show hunter ring! April has the cutest white chin, and just enough chrome to stand out in the show ring. She is sired by Jimmy Creed, who is a son of Distorted Humor out of a mare from Dixieland Band lines. April’s dam is by Freud out of a mare from Runaway Groom/Blushing Groom and Hail to Reason lines. This is a great sport horse pedigree! April’s trainer told us that the filly is very athletic and brave, and that she should be able to do anything. “Someone is going to get a really nice horse” she said! April is offered at a bargain price for such a lovely young horse, so come take advantage of this opportunity!

 For this girl, we think that her name says a lot. She may be small, but she is a mighty (or at least she imagines herself to be!). She gave us the impression of a confident, sassy, athletic, young filly. She is a pretty girl with a shiny, bright bay with a dappled coat and just enough chrome for a little extra flash, she is a pretty girl who is sure to attract attention. She has a compact, well-balanced, and nicely proportioned body with a long sloping shoulder. She appears to have clean legs with all four legs squarely underneath her.  We were told that she does not have any injuries or issues; she is being offered for sale as her trainer is downsizing for the winter, and moving her less competitive horses on to their second careers.

Imalottalady is by Bustin Stones out of a Freud mare. Both sires are noted for producing athletic offspring with good brains. She stood politely for us to get her confirmation photos, but as we started to film her jog video, this young filly was understandably a tad distracted by shenanigans on the nearby hot walker and a bicycle rider zipping by. But she settled to display cute, balanced, and athletic movement, giving us the impression that she is quick and clever on her feet. We could see this pint-size cutie excelling in a variety of disciplines that would engage her active brain. If you are a more petite rider that appreciates a good mare who will be a thinking and active partner, this bodacious girl might be your perfect match! Her size and personality certainly make her a reasonable consideration for polo as well.

This sweet and quiet “fun-size” girl wants to be someone’s special show pony, not a racehorse! And her unique, rich, liver- chestnut color with golden under-tones and flashy markings will surely help you stand out in any crowd. We were told that she is a total sweetheart and that’s certainly what we observed. We found her wonderful to work with, she stood and jogged quietly for us with just a plain rope lead. She struck us as being very well-handled and having a great brain, and remember…she’s only three! Our volunteer taking photos quipped, ”I’m not sure we’ve ever had an easier horse to photograph”.

Her handler was not aware of any vices or injuries. We observed a thick, compact build, clean legs, and a balanced, well-proportioned, nicely muscled body with a long sloping shoulder. Her long, elegant neck has an attractive natural arch. She displayed cute, relaxed, and springy movement during her jog video. We could imagine this athletic girl in a variety of disciplines- both english and western (perhaps western dressage?). Or as a fun, versatile, “jack-of-all-trades”. Maybe a future pony club or 4-H mount.

With her name, did you guess she is by Bustin Stones?  He’s noted for siring nicely moving horses with good brains. Freud, another stallion noted for siring ammy-friendly offspring, appears on her distaff side. With this pedigree, it is no surprise that this filly is sensible and quiet, ammy- / jr-friendly, and likely an easier restart. Her trainer is currently down-sizing her stable for winter, moving less competitive horses on to their second careers giving you the unique opportunity to score a sensible, young filly for a reasonable price.

Should we describe her as cute or gorgeous? Because she is both at the same time- a dark, velvety, pony-sized beauty. Petite and perfectly proportioned, Namasquan is a lovely shade of dark chocolate with the smallest speck of white on her forehead. This elegant, diminutive and adorable girl really knew how to strike a pose. She was relaxed and attentive during her photoshoot, standing quietly and patiently. She has the classic, elegant Thoroughbred hunter build / look, only in a miniature form. We observed clean legs, and lovely balance and proportion. She does have a small indentation on her face with which she was born. We weren’t able to stick measure her, but estimate that she may technically qualify at pony height. We were told that she has no stable vices, that she is “perfect” to ride; in general, she is a sweet, sensible, quiet, little lady. Jogging politely in just a plain halter and lead, we saw a swinging, relaxed walk and the flat-knee, classic daisy cutter movement during her jog video. We could see her as the perfect little pony show-ring hunter. Her trainer is downsizing, moving her less competitive horses onto their second careers before the snow flies, and commented, “She jogs faster than she runs”. Namasquan is by Connect and out of a Freud mare.

Our first horse to visit on this chilly, blustery day was the super-cool and extremely fun dude, Uncle Vic. His current owner told us that she has not had him in her barn for that long, and in that time she’s been working on getting him a little more filled out, but we thought he looked absolutely fabulous. She said that he has “the potential to be lovely”, and we totally agree on that count! He’s very personable and since he has connected with her in a relatively short time, we think he’ll be a complete in-your-pocket type when he gets his own person.  He is a half-sibling to Duck Pond Road who was a very popular FLF placing last year- another sweet, laid-back, and bomb-proof horse. A lucky someone is going to be very happy with this young, handsome and extremely friendly boy too. Uncle Vic is quiet and dependable enough that his owner / handler told us that she allows her kids walk him around (and that they love him!). Uncle Vic was described to us as being chill, and having a fun and quirky personality. And that’s exactly what we observed. You MUST watch his jog video! His handler threw the lead rope over his back and he essentially jogged himself. Perhaps he’d be fun to play around with at liberty? We were told that, like any five-year-old gelding, he can have typical youngster moments where he can be a tad distracted… *squirrel!* but that he also is quite sensible and settles down quickly to get right back to work. He was a very good boy for his photoshoot and seemed to enjoy the fussing and attention. We admired his athletic build and proportions; he looks like he could excel in a variety of disciplines, or dabble in several. The personality on this one definitely left us smiling. Super Ammy-friendly, he happily grazed on the lawn while we chatted and got all his vital statistics. Uncle Vic is by Soaring Empire (with Unbridled/Fappiano and AP Indy lines) and out of a Roaring Fever mare (storm Cat and Danzig). He’s entered to race on Tuesday, 10/29. So why not hook up your trailer, come watch your new BFF run, and then take him straight home with you?
