We are downsizing and need to find homes for theses wonderful horses! Please PM me or e-mail me at bcdressage [at] yahoo [dot] com if you are interested. Please, serious inquiries only. Horses are located in East Texas near Louisiana.

Oliver - Bay TBX colt born on Feb. 29, 2008. X-rays show minimal Epiphysitis, although on the outside his fetlocks look pretty lumpy. He was on stall rest and minimal feed to help slow down his rapid growth so he is now a little on the thin side. He has long, sloping pasterns and steep hoof angles but still may be a useful horse in the future. He is easy to handle and has lots of trailering experience for a guy his age. This picture was taken at three months. Current on trims, worming and vaccinations.

Missy - 1995 registered AQHA mare. 15.3hh chestnut with star and stripe. Has done dressage to 1st level, jumpers and lower level eventing. Missy loves to jump and is good at it! Currently not in consistent work due to lack of time. Not for a beginner as she can be forward and a little sensitive, but is not spooky. Best suited for an intermediate rider and/or teenager. Has had one foal and would make a fantastic brood mare. Very athletic and good movement. Registered with the International Sporthorse Registry and is entered into the Pre Mare Book. Missy showed on 6/7/08 and scored a 72.6% at T-1 and a 75% at T-2 and won both of her tests. We would love to keep her but do not have time to ride her and feel that she deserves to have a job. Current on shots, worming and trims. (Needs front shoes if in regular work.) Riding video available.

Idabeentherequick (AKA Benny) - 1995 JC registered TB 17hh bay gelding. Has shown through 3rd level and likes to jump. Benny has a sweet personality and wants to have a job! He has been out of consistent work for a few years but still has lots to offer and many years left. Benny is partially blind in his left eye due to a fungal infection that was treated with an antibotic that accidently contained a steroid 3 years ago. He also has a knocked down hip which he has had for many years. When in work it is not that noticeable. He does get nervous when other horses are in the arena with him. Benny needs a patient, quiet rider. Sorry, currently no video available.

Yep, that about covers it, along with a couple backflips... :D Hubby is picking out Blingy browbands and pads and blankets... He took off with my Dover catalog this morning! Which I guess is ok, since I can get on E-bay at work as well as other sites :D tee hee, can't wait to get off work and go see Benny!!!

Bump for Oliver!!! He is a cutie!
