Accomplished driving mare for sale

Hi All,

I have a very accomplished driving mare for sale.  She has done everything 
from parades to wagon trains to CDE's.  She is an absolute sweetie pie with 
a go-get-um attitude, forward and energetic.  I am currently using her for 
riding lessons to refresh that part of her training.  Since she has been 
used primarily for driving, I am trying really hard NOT to put  a sliding 
stop on her.  That would not be good hitched to a cart!!


Dustin's Kaylee, aka 'Pixie' is 15.  She can be purchased with or without 
her cart and harness.  The cart is an immaculate, top of the line, 
Meadowbrook and the harness is a Zilco marathon in very good condition.  It 
comes with a Mylar Liverpool driving bit ($100+ by itself).


This little lady would be best suited for an intermediate or advanced 
person.  I would love to see her put through an Evaluation.  Dusty needs one 
more offspring to earn his sire award - SOOO - I will reimburse Evaluation 
entry fees to the person who earns a performance medallion with her.

I have a very drafty mare in Denver.   I ended up with the 7 gullet Cashel 
Trail saddle (with rounded skirt).   I took a tracing of her withers and drew 
it on a poster, cut it out and took it with me.   There are places on the 
internet that show how to do this.  I had a DeSoto hand made endurance that 
basically came with the horse...and it wasn't wide enough.   Wasn't made for 
her.I highly recommend that you take your horse, trainer and/or trusted 
person and go to a store that lets you bring your horse...   I wish I had done 
that first.   Would have saved alot of time and gas money.   The weird thing is 
that some saddles fit the horse that  didn't look wide enough . . . I also have 
an extra wide adjustable tree wintec that I love (weighs next to nothing).   I 
figured that she may lose weight and firm up with work and she is, but haven't 
needed to go down in size yet.   I didn't get into treeless, but I know some on 
the site have experience there.

LOL  now that I have been breaking in the Trail saddle, I am not sure I like 
it!  I hope it gets more comfortable as it breaks in, but I seem to have 
trouble sitting in the right place in it...

Good luck!!

Hi everyone,   wondering what saddles you are finding fit your Fjords
best.  I have an old western trail saddle that has seen better days for
sure and am hoping to find something to fit my wide and short backed girl
and be comfortable for me as well!!  I mostly rode her around the property
bareback which I love but am ready to hit the trails and think it probably
safest to use a saddle!  Thanks for any advice, Julie

Titan's sire: Chapman Valley's Torben   we called him Turbo.Titan's 
dam: Eider #482
We did not breed Eider last year so this is her last foal.She will turn 
25 on May 16... time for retirement. She has been a wonderful mommy and 
has produced  fantastic foals.


I was in a big hurry to get some pictures sent to Kim.   Now that I see his 
pictures posted on the web --I should have taken a little time to brush him.
Maybe Kim will re-post after Ti has been in  Maryland for awhile.   Then you 
will see a big change in the BEFORE  AFTER pictures.


Jean ... I think that -7 F is really COLD
