Arabs)
For the past few years I have been
purchasing Arabians at the Shipshewana Auction in order to prevent them from
going to slaughter. While many of the horses I have may not be class A quality
they, are still good horses and deserve a better fate than where they were
headed. What follows is a brief description of each horse and what I know about
them. The prices reflect what I have in them - I simply want to see them go to
good homes where they will be loved and used. If you would like more
information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached by e-mail
at cartermargaret@xxxxxxxxxxx
or by phone at (574) 353-1916 (home) or (574) 223-2713 (work).
Merryglen Sohpia - Registered 14.3h bay
mare foaled 4/01. Raffles breeding, green broke. She tends not to be an easy
keeper. She is also an alpha mare and can put up a fight when she doesn't want
to do something (like being wormed - she hates it). $550.
Emira Sun - Registered 15h flea bitten
grey mare foaled 5/94. Egyptian bred with a bit of Raffles. Apparently
broke to ride but was just used as a brood mare for the past few years. Nice
looking mare, also hates to be wormed. $550.
KH Platinum - Registered 14.3h grey
gelding foaled 5/97. Egyptian bred and Bask. Stocky build, not a flashy looking
horse but nice. Would probably do western or endurance. Hasn't had much
handling due to original owner's ill health. $400.
KH Asteroid - Registered 14.3h grey
gelding foaled 5/98. Full brother to KH Platinum but finer boned with a lovely
head. Also hasn't had much handling. Has a timid disposition. $400.
Diversity Dawn - Registered 15h
fleabitten grey mare foaled 3/93. Almost straight Polish with a bit of Raffles.
Very sweet disposition, anxious to please. She was trained "by the
girls at the barn" I was told, so I think there are some gaps in her
education. She is a bit post legged in back. $600.
LacesBay - Registered 14.2 grey filly foaled 3/00. Pretty with a
friendly laid back attitude and a stubborn streak a mile and a half wide. She
has done some ground work but has not been started under saddle. $750.
TP Duet - Registered 14.2 bay mare foaled
5/85. Egyptian bred and Bask. She has lovely ground manners but at
some point must have had a rider who hung on the reins because when you ride
her she is hollow backed & stiff in the jaw. I am working to get her to
soften and give to the bit but we still have a long way to go. I am also
trying to get more weight on her. $600.
Selkit Gladiator - Registered 16h sorrel
gelding foaled 2000. Straight Russian. I was told his full brother is doing
well as an endurance horse, but this guy is so laid back I don't see him
following in his footsteps. He is very green but has a puppy dog disposition
and seems willing to learn which is good because he doesn't know anything. He
is a bit straight in the stifle and needs to put on more weight because he
won't defend his hay from the other horses. $600.
Sassy - Registered 1/2 Arab 1/2
Saddlebred. Bay mare foaled 4/90. She has a forgiving disposition but awkward
conformation as she is hip high, long in the back and straight in the
stifle. Whoever trained her did a lovely job because she is very
sensitive to a rider but because of how she is built she cannot move in a
collected frame, nor can she carry a very heavy rider. I've ridden her
sidesaddle and at Civil War events. She is not an easy keeper. $750.
PT Heritage Song - Registered but I don't
have her papers tho the original breeder said he would help with getting
replacements if I ever wanted to show her. I think she is about 11 and I was
told she was shown halter. Liver chestnut, very elegant and sensitive mare with
a lovely drape to her neck so she would probably go western. She is a Padron
granddaughter and daughter of Padronat (sp?). I have ridden her at a walk and
trot but I think she needs to be chiropracted before starting canter work. She
cannot be bred because she has an ovarian cyst. $650.
Rosie - Sorrel mare 5 or 6 years old,
14.3h. Half Arab, half Paso Fino but not registered. She is very willing and
sensitive to a rider. My daughter put 30 days training on her and thinks she
might make a nice dressage horse. $700.
Willow - Grey mare 11 or 12 years old, 15.1h. AngloArab, no
papers. She lacks confidence and I get the feeling her training was incomplete
as she doesn't stay in the bridle and doesn't know her canter cues. Timid
disposition, not an easy keeper. With proper training, I think she would make a
pretty English horse. $450.
Reprieve - Stocky whte Arab gelding
14.3h, probably in his late teens. Looks like he must have had papers at some
point. He is a well broke English horse with good manners. He has been ridden
on trails and by young children in lessons. He must have had a rider who
wouldn't stay out of his mouth because it took my daughter a long time to get
him out of the habit of flipping his head and he will let you know if he is
annoyed with you. He has a lovely canter but is a bit post legged in back. Very
easy keeper. $750.
Psyched - Very leggy 5 year old son of
Padron Psyche. Sorrel gelding, at least 15.3h. We have the paperwork to
register him but have not done so yet. He has a sweet disposition and lovely
manners. Basically green broke, not the easiest of keepers probably because he
has a bit of a parrot mouth. Also a little too straight in the shoulder to go
class A but still a striking horse. We had him on antibiotics for an impacted
tooth and it seems to have cleared up the problem, but I can't guarantee it
won't need to be extracted at some later date. $750.
And then there is Dude - 6 or 7 year old
mustang gelding, grey, 14.1h. He will never win a beauty contest and if he were
human he would probably be a biker with his tough-guy attitude, yet in his
extended gaits he can move like a dressage horse. I was told he'd had 30 days
training and was trail ridden but I have only done ground work with him. Hates
to be wormed, a very easy keeper. $275.
We have a few additional horses
available, both Arab and non-Arab. Training is also available thru my daughter
for $275 per month. I have described each of the horses to the best of my
ability, but if you want a 2nd opinion, Terry Stutz teaches at my barn once a
week and I'm sure she would be willing to do a further evaluation on any horse
you might be interested in. She is very knowledgeable about Arabs and I
do not hesitate to recommend her. As far as I know they are all sound, but if
you want to have a vet check done I certainly will not be offended. Also, if
any horse you purchase does not turn out to be what you were looking for, I
will gladly buy them back. I simply don't want to seem them end up back at that
auction. If you see one you would like more information on or photographs of,
just let me know.
