Palomino Quarter Horse For Sale

Molly is seven years old and available for adoption through Red Dog Farm.  She is a rescue horse, but not due to any fault of her own.  Her owners came to a tragic end and she was left homeless.  I am sponsoring her training with James Cooler of Cooler Horsemanship, a natural horsemanship program based on the ANTRUM Method.

Molly is a horse that is very sweet and loves human companionship.  She is green and coming along quite nicely.  It has been fascinating watching James ground work her and recently he got in the saddle and walked and trotted her.  I watched a session where he was working with her backing up while mounted... she made great progress.  It is my understanding that Mary of The Galloping Mind will soon be doing a post on Molly and her training.  Click on that blog periodically (or follow it!) if you are interested in reading more about this fine mare.

Molly is a delicately framed Quarter Horse, very lady like I would say.  James is obviously a bit big for her and is riding her in a big roping saddle.  Two photos down from here, you can see her with two young girls.  I believe Molly is about 14.1 hands.

Her disposition is one to want to please her humans and I would say she is really quite smart as she seems to be learning quickly.

We often go out and brush her in the field and when we leave, she follows us to the gate.

She is currently being pasture boarded with two other mares sharing her paddocks and shed and they get along really well.

She is listed through Red Dog Farm for an adoption fee of $1,500.  That really is a steal and also consider who is training her.  Click on his website and you will be amazed at what a talented man James Cooler is with horses.  If you are interested in Molly, feel free to ask me any questions here on my blog and I will also encourage you to call Red Dog Farm directly and ask for Garland.

Titania to our Oberon?

Oberon is our horse now (see below) - I sent the wire transfer and he should arrive within two weeks.   We have renamed him and since we are a theatre family, we thought names from Shakespeare were appropriate:  Oberon & Titania are the King and Queen of the fairies in "Midsummer Night's Dream".

Murphy & Molly are their old names.  Molly is a rescue horse and I am paying for her training this month with James Cooler of Cooler Horsemanship.  I am also looking at a paint gelding that I had my eye on a couple of weeks ago and my girls and I are driving down to Charleston SC to ride him and see what we think.

Oberon is six years old and is a reining/cutting horse.  He is very responsive and sensitive to the rider.  Both of my girls rode in a too big saddle and their legs were flopping a bit.  Since he is pretty much a leg responsive horse, my daughter below (we won't comment on her posture :) ... cued him to canter by accident.  Oberon slowed down to a walk immediately when she signaled, but the look on her face was priceless!  "What was THAT?!" she had said.  LOL

Caviar & Molly

This is my "portrait" of Caviar, the Paint pony we hope to buy.  Her personality is more "horse-like" and I believe she is enjoying us almost as much as we are enjoying her.

This mare's name is Molly and she is a "rescue" horse due to her owners sudden death.  "Red Dog Farm" is one of those places I have driven by many times and didn't know much about.   They Rescue dogs, cats, donkeys, I think goats... and more.  I visited Molly and am impressed with her demeanor.  She hasn't been worked with much, but her steadiness on the halter even though I knew she had energy to burn really impressed me.  I will be taking a closer look at her next week.  She is a 14' hand Palomino QH and I love her size and intelligent eye.

Red Dog Farm has another horse, Marley who is being leased this summer.  She will be available at the end of the summer.  The "link" above will take you to their website.  I would like to volunteer there.
