She is young but she lunges and is green broke and quite. There are AQHA papers that came with this mare but we are not sure if they are the correct papers. Daisy: 6 year old, 11.2 HH, sorrel and white pony mare this is broke to ride. Daisy is a sweet, fairly quiet pony with no bad habits which would be great for the somewhat experienced child. Déjà vu: 11 year old bay, 14.2 HH Quarter Horse mare. She has no bad habits and is well broke to western riding. She has lots of energy but is easy to work around. She will be a nice horse for someone with a bit of experience. We have AQHA papers on this mare but we are not ure if they are the correct papers. Hawkeye: This sorrel mule is about 5 years old and stands at 15.2 HH. Although he is a typical strong-headed mule, he is not overly difficult to deal with. He is broke to ride but is not for the beginner. Howie: French Alpine type wether (castrated male) goat about three years old. He is extremely friendly and will make someone a very nice companion. Lily: 4 year old, 14 HH, Sorrel and whit pinto mare. "Lily" lunges and is green broke to ride, solid on the walk and trot. She is a nice little mare with no bad habits. Sawyer: This young bay mule is about 3-4 years old and stands 14 HH. He is supposed to be broke to ride and drive but we have not been able to ascertain that. He can be quite a handful and is for the experienced mule hnadler only!!!!! Sebastian: 4 year old Percheron type draft john mule (gelded). He is 16.1 HH and growing and is dapple grey in color. He is broke to ride and is supposed to be broke to drive. He is friendly but quite powerful and needs a strong, mule savvy owner.\ Sly: Steel grey purebred Arabian gelding with no papers. He stands 15 HH at 3 years of age and he lunges and ground drives. He is a fast learner but needs consistent work to retain and move forward in his training. Spirit: 9 year old, 14.1 HH, dapple grey Arabian mare. She is broke to ride and has no bad habits but can be slightly shy. The more experienced horse person will have a great time with this mare.
