No, as of 2024 we no longer offer Valiant or Evan for outside mares. We only use them for our mares.

How can we purchase one of your horses?

WE rarely will sell one of the riding horses. We do not sell our foals in-utero. Each year when a foal is born we publish it on the blog and if you want a foal you must put down a deposit. We will not hold a foal without a deposit. The balance must be paid when the foal is weaned and transported off the property.
