STANDARDBRED SALES


Performance Standardbreds offers two standards of horses for sale in this area; horses in our 'Placement Program' and horses that have been 'Referred'. (Click on the thumbnail images next to each description to view a large version of the picture.)

It was an especially busy summer and a few horses went to a few homes before we had a chance to list them! We sold nine mares over the summer to one owner who will be using them for pleasure driving and breeding; a great home for them. Among the placement horses that were sold are “Sunny” (Sun Dial West), “Shawnas Fiddle” and, “Juslucky Fiddler” (You can read about them below). Also sold to the same owner was “Fizz” (Fiddle String W.) and a referral horse, “I’m So Sassy”. Other referral horses that we never had the chance to list were also sold to the same owner.

Horses Currently in the Placement Program:

Note: Horses in the placement program are regularly maintained: deworming, farrier, dental, vaccinations. They have also been weaned off of their high calorie diets and given gradual turnout to fulltime turnout with other horses. Each horse is evaluated individually as to their needs and adjustment period.

"Don't Mention It"; aka "Missy", is a 4y.o., ~15.2 h.h. dark brown mare. Missy finished her brief career in harness racing this spring and has since been turned out with a variety of pasture buddies!

He really deserves a compassionate home where he will be used and well cared for. Truly a horse with a lot of heart, he will give back 100%.

SOLD! - 5-year old, 15.3 hh, brown Standardbred gelding. Swervin has very nice conformation, good bone, never injured, just not fast enough to be competitive on the A track. He is home-raised, loves attention and we love him. Easy to catch; lopes up to meet you in the pasture. Swervin is one of the sweetest horses you will ever meet. His manners are impeccable and he is wonderful to handle. Drives and rides nicely. We have ridden Swervin to move cattle from pasture to pasture and down the road. He has been trail-ridden by less experienced riders in a group and alone and has always behaved nicely. Smooth gaits at the walk, trot and lope. Swervin has potential as a competitive trail riding horse, pleasure horse, ranch horse, you name it. This gelding had tons of potential.

Horse Stories:

Here are some stories about some of our horses that have made it to good homes.

"Sunny" came to us in the fall of '04 and was in need of some emotional TLC. After undergoing some one-on-one confidence building sessions, Sunny was introduced to a herd situation at a new facility. Unfortunately, after a brief time and in the midst of -30 degree weather, she came down with colic. Being that she was a young, healthy mare ( 3y.o.) and her condition was not going to have an impact on her future, surgery for a large impaction was performed. After 6 months of recovery and turnout she was definitely ready for placement. A beautiful mare with a tough start had made a wonderful turnaround. She has been placed in a wonderful home where she will be used for pleasure-driving and eventually, down the road, as a mom.


 

"Shawnas Fiddle" is a lovely 3 year old filly that was purchased this spring by the Placement Program. Shawna didn’t have to wait too long for a new home. She was sold to a wonderful home in Saskatchewan where she will be used for pleasure-driving and possibly under saddle. Her new owners hope to eventually have her in a broodmare program (for Standardbreds) crossing with the Haflinger breed to ultimately produce pleasure driving horses with sound minds and talent.

This beauty will be a wonderful addition.

"Juslucky Fiddler" is a 4 y.o. mare who was one of many, not very competitive on the race track. She came to us with a home already in place, not a common occurrence. We were delighted that we could act so quickly and be assured she was going to a loving and suitable home. Juslucky was definately a lucky girl and will be enjoying her new career as a pleasure driving horse and a mom in the future.
