They are calm and NOT looking to "try you out" on the trail - they also gait EASILY and SMOOTHLY. I stake my reputation on this.

I'm trying to keep the sold page current but I am behind!!!  I do want to ackowledge my gratitude to the wonderful people who have come into my life and my home and purchased horses from me.   THANK YOU!

I place moving clips of these horses for sale on our youtube web site. Please go to www.youtube.com/blackwidowfarm and see new horses there that might not have made it to this list.

Call Melissa and ask about "just the right horse" for you. If I don't have it here, (and I've got over 15 horses for sale here!), then I might know of one in Tennessee that I have'nt been able to bring up yet. Talk to me about pricing too. I want to find a horse a home for life AND sell a horse. I do what it takes to make a deal.

You won't regret buying a horse from Bailey's Walking-After-Midnight Farm. Each sale is a custom experience designed by you. We give you a trial period at your new farm, riding lessons here on your new horse, a guarantee of the health and soundness of your new horse, (and we comply with getting the horse into a boarding facillity too). We give a new bit and bridle to each horse, can assist in delivering your new horse, invite you to stay in our home (must like dogs and cats) to spend a few days working with our horse savvy staff to ride various horses in different scenarios so that you can make your decision with confidence. I can't change the world, but I can give you a great experience buying a horse. We like to think we are "accountable" to you and our horse, long after the sale.

Patches is very agreeable under saddle and on the ground!

Thank you Candi. What a fun week we had with you and all our horses. How's the Tennis this week?

Very happy to walk in the woods

Generator's Magic Copper

Foaled: April 26, 2005

Breed: TWHBEA

Gender: Gelding

Height: 15.1h

Color: Liver Chestnut

Sale Price: $5,000

Copper is a gentle, willing to please trail horse that gaits smoothly and effortlessly.

He is hills of Tennessee broke, with lots and lots of trail miles.  You can ride this boy anywhere.  With other horses or alone.  He is looking to bond with that special  rider that wants to clock lots of hours in the woods, or on a country road.  He likes to jump logs on the trail too.

We are very impressed with his loving attitude and natural and smooth gait.  He is a lover boy too!

On J an. 29, 2010, we took Copper, BlackJack, Stormy, Big Joe, and my Joe to Gettysburg for one of our famous Walking-After-Midnight Trail Rides. What a blast we had! All the horses were fabulous - I just can't find the words to describe the joyful experience it was, and the point to this tirade of words is: Copper is an awesome ride. He gaits beautifully, Don our trainer was riding him, clowning around like he always does and was hanging off his side, then from Copper's back he was trying to push ME off my horse (Don thinks he's funny, let's NOT encourage him!!) - Copper endured all this extra foolishness with out a bobble.

This is an experienced trail horse that is behaved and dependable. (This IS what we specialize).

Please call Melissa at (540)303-0569 or email Melissa@Walking-After-Midnight.com and ask for more information about our boy Copper. 

Life is more fun when riding smooth gaited horses.

We use RedMan for riding lessons and trail rides too! We trust him and you should too.

RedMan (Reg. name = Simon Girty)

Foaled: 1999
Breed: TWHBEA
Gender: Gelding
Height: 15h
Color: Red Roan
Sale Price: $6,350

RedMan is a forgiving and trustworthy trail horse.

10 yrs old, raised by a man that loved him, broke him out, and trail rode him all over Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois. RedMan has been tied to a picket line, and seen all kind's of "boogey bears", and doesn't come unglued.

RedMan is also TRAINED WELL. He parks out to get on, to load him in the horse trailer, stand next to him at the back of the trailer and tell him "get on the trailer". (You are gonna love this horse!!!! )

Need a trustworthy trail horse every time? RedMan is a ready made trail horse that is calm and SMOOTH. He shakes that head and strides like a walking horse should, and is EASY to gait and keep in the gait.

He is looking for a new best freind.... how about you?

This Red Roan color is very sought after!

Snake Creek Comanche

Comanche is uner contract to Randy and Joyce in Fredericksburg, Va. See you next Sunday guys!

Special situation:
Foaled: May 2002

Breed: SSHBEA

Gender: Gelding

Height: 16.1h

Color: Black and White

Sale Price: $4,000 obo with Vet References

King is easy to gait, happy to just walk, and very trail savvy and smooth. Broke for most riders but you have to get up there.

I sold him as a 3 yr old to a local family and a year after I sold him (summer 2005) he got Potomac Horse fever which created fever, which created some founder in his front left hoof. Yes he is very rideable, but all the other horses on this web page have absolutely NO hoof issues, so this is a special needs situation.

His owners have ridden him with no trouble since 2005 but they need to down size and have given me a chance to find my "colt" another home for life.

We are looking for a home where he can be lightly ridden on soft trails and in a ring. He can't take rocky trails and 1 to 2 hrs under saddle will be sufficient. He should be ridden as it's good for his feet. He doesn't need special shoes but he does need shoes all year. He's not going to be an endurance horse. He's a relaxing ride in a park. You can ride him alone, with a group, this is a truly fabulous riding horse. (Check out www.youtube.com/blackwidowfarm to see the gait on this horse. He is impressive!!)

He is very forgiving and plays well with other horses in the pasture. You can catch him anywhere. He leads, loads and clips too. Traffic and water savvy. This boy has got an excellent attitude.

Hoof supplements will help promote circulation and hoof growth to his feet and other than consistant shoeing this horse will not be any different than many horses.

You are welcome to talk to the farrier and most important to us is a home where he will be cared for responsibly with an owner that is experienced with a horse with these needs and we look forward to speaking to your vet. Call Melissa (540)303-0569 to ask more questions of request digital and moving photos of "King" under saddle.

Master Thief (we call him BlackJack)

Foaled: July 28, 2000

Breed: TWHBEA

Gender: Gelding

Height: 15h

Color: Black

Sale Price: $6,350

This is the ride you are looking for!! Smooth, like a sports car - voom, you want to gait, he gaits, let up on the accelerator and he drops down nice and gentle to a relaxed "dog walk". (Thanks walking horse talk for he is happy to walk slowly).

This horse was only owned by one family, and they rode him and loved him. He was also shown a few times but ofcourse never sored or padded, but he is talented and FUN TO RIDE.

You can put a huband or wife or a guest on him but - you want to ride this horse. He is a head turner on the trails. Ride BlackJack alone, with other horses, let the other horses go on from you, he is well behaved and not going to fight you!

He went on our trail ride to Gettysburg (Jan. 29, 2010), with Copper, Stormy, Big Joe, and my Joe - and BlackJack was a Star. This is the epitomy of the walking horse breed. A classy and comfortable trail horse that is not looking to throw you in the bushes. Call me about this horse. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

Please call Melissa at (540)303-0569 or email Melissa@Walking-After-Midnight.com. See BlackJack on our www.youtube.com/blackwidowfarm site. He's down there a ways.   I can email you clips of him under saddle too.
