AVAILABLE HORSES
PEANUT, a 14hh, chestnut gelding born in 2012 (registered name Bells Mr. Good Bar, out of Peppy Sand Badger, is proudly offered for sale through no fault of his own. A naturally athletic and eager horse, Peanut has so much potential that is currently underutilized in our English lesson program. We believe he would thrive in barrel racing, where his energy and quick reflexes would be fully appreciated.
Peanut requires a soft, kind, and confident rider. He can be sensitive and may become nervous if rushed or handled harshly, but with the right partner, he will excel and form a strong bond.
Peanut will be sold with first right of refusal; he is very special to us. He is 100% sound, barefoot, and up to date on vaccinations. We’re excited to see him find a home where his full potential can be realized!
Proudly offered in the mid four figures.

ZOLA is a 14.1hh, older teen, grade quarter pony mare. She’s a huge asset to FRC’s lesson program, with her calm demeanor and friendly attitude. This sweet girl is one of our most gentle lesson horses, perfect for first-time riders and kids looking to perfect their walk-trot. With her age, Zola is best suited for the walk-trot life. She spends her days at FRC training the next generation of young riders and preparing them for their next mounts. While Zola excels in our lesson program, we feel that she'd like to eventually find her own person.

LEVI is our favorite snotty teddy bear—lovable, snuggly, and full of personality. But don’t let his sweet demeanor fool you; he’s a graceful mover under saddle. Levi offers smooth lead changes, easily transitions between collection and extension in all gaits, and has plenty of experience over fences. He’s dead quiet, having safely carried both beginners (from age 5 to 75) around, yet he’s far from just a beginner's horse. With solid flat work and impressive talent, he has much to offer a more advanced rider, too.
The one catch with Levi is that he had tie-back surgery and has been a bit challenging to keep weight on. Our horses live in dry lots with 24/7 hay access, but we suspect he might thrive even more with access to grass pasture. Despite this, Levi is otherwise incredibly low maintenance—he has special shoeing needs, but other than that, he’s a breeze to care for. He’s finished, sweet as syrup, and undeniably fancy.
Proudly offered at $7,500.
SMARTIE, a 16hh, bay Thoroughbred gelding born in 22016, is the horse every rider dreams of when they purchase an OTTB. With a willing attitude, a solid mind, and a body built for any discipline, he is dependable, safe, and, above all, *smart*. Though still green over fences, smartie fixes distances, changes his leads (with proper encouragement), and shows plenty of scope. He strikes the perfect balance of whoa and go, both gas and brakes available when requested.
Smartie would be an excellent fit for an intermediate rider with a trainer, an adult amateur, or a professional on a budget looking for a versatile partner. We believe he’d truly shine in eventing, fox hunting, or paper chases, but he also has the potential to make a lovely hunter.
Smartie isn’t for a complete beginner—he’s still building his skills and requires a rider who can manage his motor when needed. With the right training, he can be finished in any direction and is sure to make someone’s dream horse. Barefoot and sound. Cribbing managed by a collar. Great ground manner, will take a nap in the ties.
Proudly offered for the lowest of five figures.
