Mares For Sale: Trail-Ready

Sugar

Foaled: 2006

Breed: Tenmessee Walking Horse
Gender: Mare
Height: 15h

Color: Sorrell
Sale Price: $5,350

Sugar is an AWESOME riding tennessee walking horse mare that is trustworthy and looking to get out from under you.

An excellent attitude (NOT "Mare-ish") with a gait that you just can't beat. WORLD CLASS SMOOTH.

She is trail savvy Tennessee Walking Horse mare. We've taken her to the Mannassas Battle Field for one our Walking-After-Midnight Farm trail rides (the job of my customers/friends is to get ME out onto the trail so we love these "field trips", it can be part of your lessons which is part of my offerings when we create the special terms of your sale, or we can be "rented out" for a custom trail ride for $125 per person, 2 person minimum), and we took her on April 22, 2010 to the C&O Canal at PawPaw, W. Va and bicycles did NOT phase her, she rode at the back of the group and did NOT care if certain members of our group cruised WAY AHEAD - ok - it was me but hey, a girl has to get out and stretch her horse out once in a while.... This mare is a relaxing experience to trail ride.

I also placed Sugar with Susan Hartman, (last Jan/Feb) a famous Judged Treasure Ride Gaited Horse Trainer, for several weeks to get her "tuned up". This was money well spent because Sugar came back a finished horse.

She stands still to mount up, is not fidgety, goes anywhere you point her, and is a joy to ride.

Call Melissa (540)303-0569 for more info on Sugar.

If you've got a bad back buy this mare!

This is a beautiful dapple grey mare. A real head turner in the field and on the trail.

Star's Lady Abigail (Abigail)

Foaled: 2004

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

Height: 15.1h

Color: Grey
Sale Price: $6,500

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.

Sale Price: $5,650

Sadie is a sweet natured and beautiful Strawberry Roan Cadillac. I've got some smooth riding horses on this farm right now.... but you have got to ride this mare to believe it. We are talking comfort!!!! And a head full of sense. I rode her at the Bucksnort Trail Ride this April and we had a great time! We went up hills, and I mean serious hills, we went down hills... this mare is athletic and will go anywhere you point her. She is the epitomy of pleasure riding.

She can be ridden anywhere in a group of horses or alone. She is traffic safe and the more we know her the more we LOVE HER. She is loving in the pasture, plays well with everyone, and has excellent ground manners too.

Dolly Rose

Dolly is sold to Paula in Central Pa. She wanted a kind mare that wasn't looking to toss her in the bushes.

Dolly was looking for a kind lady to love her and give her cookies. Another match made in heaven.

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.
