Horses For Sale in Michigan

I just updated our Horses for Sale page.  It is on the right under Home.  

There are several of Patrick's offspring along with a couple of other horses we have available.  All of them have show experience and are ready for their new home.

We try to match our horses with a rider that is a good fit for their experience and personality.  Our young horses by Patrick all have an easy temperment, but they still need a rider with some experience or who works closely with their trainer.  It is easy to ruin a young horse, so we try to make sure they are going to a home where they  will be trained and treated similiar to what they have known here.  That does not happen with just one ride.  We encourage buyers to ride the horse several times and schedule themselves so they can handle the horse and get to know them.  We want a happy horse and rider combination.


Nowdays many people look for horses online and want to see pictures and video before they actually make the trip to the barn where the horse lives.  Hopefully they can look at more than one horse at a location like it is possible to do when horse shopping in Europe.  That can be very difficult in the U.S. because they are spread out all over the place.  We are putting up several web sites like the Horses for Sale page on this blog and the Horses for Sale in Michigan site to try to get horses that are in nearby areas to advertise in one place and then to plan sales events at one site so that buyers don't have to travel so much.

This could benefit the sellers as well as the buyers.  Even though there will be competition amoung the sellers, they will still be getting more buyers to look at their horses, and that will increase sales.  Also,  they only have to get the horse ready for one event instead of multiple times.  Some sellers do not have a good riding ring all year to show horses and loose potential buyers because it is difficult to arrange places for the horse to be ridden. This method would ensure a good riding arena to show the horse at it's best and to make it easier for the buyer to ride. Buyers can see several horses in one place, make comparison's easier and it is a lot less expensive than going to Europe.  You will have more money for showing or tack!

Post a comment below and let us know what you think or if you have any ideas or suggestions.  More web sites are in progress for other areas and we will let you know when they are live.  If you want to be kept up to date or are interested in a certain area, please contact Linda.
