Star's Lady Abigail (Abigail)

Foaled: 2004

Breed: Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders & Exhibitors Association Gender: Mare

Height: 15.1h

Color: Grey

Sale Price: $6,350

 Under Contract with Nic and Donna in NJ  

This is one of the most exquisite horses we've EVER had for sale. She is grand ma safe, moves with eloquence and style, and is a real head turner on the trail, but being a well behaved trail horse does tend to make one look good on the trail ride. :)

Why is she so fabulous?
1. She has got an effortless and very smooth gait
2. She neck reins
3. She canters
4. There is no where you can't ride her, with the group or alone. Woods, roads, traffic safe, crosses creeks, leads, loads and clips.
5. She IS FREINDLY. You catch this mare by going to the gait. She comes to you. I guess it's this personality that really makes her a prized horse.
6. She was raised and loved by an older gentleman that spent hours with her trail riding. (She is not spooky).

This horse expemplifies the walking horse nature. (Walking horses are known for being mellow and easy going). This mare will show you Pleasure Riding at it's finest.

Dolly

Foaled: 1999
Breed: SSHBEA
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.3h
Color: Black & White Tobiano
Sale Price: $4,850

Dolly is a saddling mare that is broke for anyone that can sit in the saddle. She hills of Tennessee broke - This means lot's of trail experience AND she doesn't have a mare-ish attitude. 

I rode her at the C&O Canal in August 2009 and she was PERFECT.  We rode by gun fire (I'm not making this up), bicycles came up behind us, the train crossed the other side of the Potomac and she didn't care, she tied to the horse trailer quietly, she stood still to mount up in all that comotion, and she is a saddling little Mama.  What a nice ride I had.  It as divine!  She is confidant and trail savvy and a true pleasure to ride.  This mare is not looking to try you out and she is down right agreeable. She also has these adoreable floppy ears that I just love and when she gaits they flop.  (Too cute!!). 

So we can say YES to traffice safe, crossing water and bridges, you can ride her alone and ride with a group of horses, she is a pleasure to ride. 

We can also say she is easy to control, is very smooth and easy to keep smooth, and she is very happy to just walk too. Not motored up.

She will make an excellent addition to your family.

We currently rent her for $45 an hour for trail rides and riding lessons with novice riders.  I call her my little ambassador to the Spotted Saddle Horse world as it's fun to put people on her that have never ridden a gaited horse and then watch the smile she puts on their face as they experience that gait for the first time.

Call Melissa at (540)303-0569 or email Melissa@Walking-After-Midnight.com to request digital photos and moving pictures of Dolly under saddle.  See her on the www.youtube.com/blackwidowfarm web site.  Don is riding her onto the horse trailer. She is very willing to please! 

Dolly bareback and very controllable.

Blackwidows Suzanne Delight

Foaled: 05/16/2005
Breed: TWHBEA
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.3h
Color: BLACK
Sale Price: $4,850

Suzanne is named after my mother. We raised her out of our Go Boy's Royal heir bred mare named Lady Beth, and our blue roan stallion (who has 8 World Grand Champion's on his papers), that we have since sold to Germany named BlackWiidow's Blue Venom. Suzanne sets the standard for SMOOTH. 

She is a registered TWHBEA mare with talent and stly. She would make you proud in a show ring, but we have never had the inclination to show cause we just love trail riding. She is a fun trail mare - lots of experience, if you can ride then this mare will be just the kind of horse you are looking for. Talent and willingness to see what's over the next hill.

She is kind and people oriented, is not "mare-ish", plays well with others in the pasture and we love her VERY much and are extremely proud of her. (Can you tell? :)

Suzanne is very predictable with a settled mind when she gets ridden maybe once a week. She enjoys round pen work and is looking for a job to do. She could also be an endurance horse prospect. She is very athletic.

Call Melissa at (540)303-0569 or email Melissa@Walking-After-Midnight.com to request digital photos and moving pictures of her under saddle.

Suzanne is a tennessee walking horse trail horse deluxe with a smooth gait second to none - ANYWHERE

Tillie, Dave and Abby, my 2 yr old cousin from Stuarts Draft, Va. 

We used Tillie for our family and freinds to ride at Charlie's birthday party. People that had hardly ever ridden or hadn't ridden for 20 years rode her - even away from the farm - alone - down the trail.  She is very calm and happy to walk.

Note: Charlie's birthday party included a BIG blow up water slide. Tillie never looked at it..... 

Suzanne's Dusty Delight  (Tillie)

Foaled: 08/30/1996
Breed: TWHBEA
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.3h
Color: Chestnut
Sale Price: $4,500

Tillie is our brood mare that we sold with a colt at her side to our freinds Denny and Gretta when Tillie was 11 yrs old.  Gretta is industrious and talemted to say the least, so she decided to break Tillie out - and it was a big success.  (Then she broke out our mare Fancy that was 20 yrs old and never started under saddle, another success and another story.... )

Lastt spring I had the chance to buy Tillie back and we have used her for trail rides and riding lessons ever since.  We have 15 of our own personal horses - so keeping Tillie is not going to give her the attention and love she deserves.  When I find the right home for Tillie, I will sell her, but I will cry anyway...  cause she is really sweet and I love her, but I love her enough to put a price on her and start this quest to find her a REALLY GREAT HOME FOR LIFE. 

She has an excellant set of TWHBEA papers.  Sun's Delight D. is her grandfather on the top and bottom.  I've raised 5 colts out of her.  All those colts were GrandMa Safe at young ages. I was thinking of breeding her to Andy....  but as I've said, I have 15 of my own personal horses and I've got 3 other mares bred to him so maybe that is enough and Tillie IS GrandMa Safe - it's hard to find GrandMa Safe horses. . .

She has a lovely gait, she canters, she rides with well with other horses and alone.  Traffic, creeks, bridges, no problem. 

She does not need a lush green pasture.  She is sound and has never foundered but I don't want her to be in a pasture where she can eat herself sick. She is "an easy keeper".  :)  She "plays well" with others in the pasture too, mares and geldings, no problem. .

Call Melissa at (540)303-0569 or email Melissa@Walking-After-Midnight.com to request digital photos and moving pictures of Tillie under saddle.
