  • SOLD! PENDING PICK UP

  • 2009 13hh Qh/Welsh/Halflinger cross gelding

  •  "Gryffindor"  $6,000

  • The perfect Field Hunter, hunter/jumper or eventing pony for a petite adult or teen! Has hunted two seasons with a youth & adult, including B Field - canters like a 17hh warmblood and keeps up with the field in a smooth way. He jumps the logs during the hunt while staying in sight of A Field and the huntsman. Crosses flowing creeks, navigates tricky rocky terrain, loads, stands tied to the trailer and mounts from the ground. Super easy and just plain fun. Barefoot, utd on shots, coggins, teeth. Hunter/jumper show miles and loads of ribbons. 3 luxurious gaits in spite of his size! Easy transitions & a perfect gentleman with hounds underfoot and fractious horses crashing into him. He is an easy keeper and stays fat on air. Rider is 5'4 - he takes up a ton of leg & riders as tall as 5'10 have sat on him. Ridden by tweens to adults...not a babysitter so does best with an advanced beginner who can wtc. He loves hugs and would make a perfect addition to your family! Only bad thing to say about him is he is a total cookie monster and will persistently check you for treats. Doesn't bite. Just searches. 😁 Video available.

SOLD - "Quincy"
JC : How About a Waiter


$3500-SOLD


 
16.2hh OTTB Gelding
2010 Model
$3000-price reduced!

  • Quincy is everything you would want in a future eventer or hunter/jumper.  He's Tall, Dark, and Handsome.  He is an elegant mover with a good foundation and ready for you to finish your way!

  • Quincy is suited for a professional or intermediate/advanced amateur in a strong riding program.

  • Quincy will finish 60 days of training at Hummingbird Stables on 4/28/18 - make an offer before then!  He will finish his training and be ready for you to continue training at home.

  • Quincy loads, leads, stand nicely in crossties.  He lunges well in both directly.  He works well under saddle in a frame.

  • Quincy needs a strong leader as he can be spooky sometimes.  He is a mild cribber and a windsucker, but with regular turnout and access to free choice alfalfa the cribbing is almost non-existent.

  • Quincy was owned by a beginner since 2017 and has developed some bad habits under saddle because of it.  We are working on this and he has come so far in a short time that we are confident he will be an excellent show horse in no time.  But this is why he is NOT for a beginner.

  • He came to Hummingbird Stables a bit underweight with little muscling, so his behavior under saddle reflects this.  He has put on pounds already and each day his attitude improves.  He has a great work ethic and loves attention.  He would do best in a show home with a regular program as he loves to have a job!

  • Victina has been in professional training since November 2014.
  • Victina’s sire, Olrik, is an approved stallion who has excelled in both driving and dressage. At the 2005 Stallion Inspection, Olrik received a 1st premium and was awarded the highest score for trot and canter in appearance and for trot in performance. Olrik’s sire is Jurjen 303.
  • Victina’s ster dam, Zabriena W, is an elegant, modern-type mare with lovely conformation and a very pleasing temperament from the prestigious stam 2. Zabriena’s sire is Jakob 302.
  • Victina is only for sale because her owner had a bad ladder accident and has been told he can never ride again.
  • Victina just completed a keuring in September of 2015. In the largest keuring in the entire United States, and extremely careful judging, she managed to earn a 3rd Premie rating! She demonstrated a nice walk, striking trot, a noble head, and many other qualities the judges were looking for in a quality Friesian mare to go in the studbook. 
  • Victina has show experience and is a ribbon winner in lower level dressage.  She is easy to handle on the ground, loads, crossties, lunges, and bathes.  She has been ridden in open fields and on trails alone.  She comes when her name is called in the pasture!
  • She has a gorgeous flowing mane and tail, and feathers.

  • She would make a lovely family horse or broodmare.  Could do breed demonstrations, costumed events, or parades with some experience.  But she's been ridden around construction, dogs, tractors, heavy equipment, and does well in new situations.

  • Serious inquiries only.  Video below.
