Merry early Christmas to you too Brown Sugar! We'd love some name suggestions! Little red filly, has the possibility of being roan. We're thinking something Christmas-y and would love something that goes along with her moms name!❄️🎄🎁

Hope - WW TDK ExpressivePage

2014 APHA Registered Chestnut Overo Broodmare

Hope is currently pregnant to our grey stallion RCK Sams Blueboy. She is due October 2026. She has a very sweet and friendly personality. In the last month or two she has been sat on a few times but we would not consider her broke as she doesn't seem to know much. We have only used her as a broodmare while we have had her. She is definitely on the taller side, Blueboy stands at 15.1 hands.

$2,5xx

She's available to come see anytime Monday through Friday 9-5 during office hours. Feel free to text, call, or message with any questions.

Miss Brown Sugar (AQHA Sadie Peppy Doc) is our first mare due for our '2026' foal crop! She was bred to our bay roan stallion Da Zeas early this year in January, which means she has a possibility of foaling sometime this December. (Christmas baby??😲)

We're keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well for her!

With recent reports of Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) popping up in a few areas of the U.S., many horse owners are understandably paying closer attention to their barn’s health updates. While any outbreak can sound alarming, this is a good moment to stay informed rather than stressed. Veterinarians and state officials are actively monitoring the situation, and most barns can greatly reduce risk with simple, practical biosecurity steps.

EHV is definitely a contagious virus, which is why outbreaks tend to move quickly through groups of horses, but it’s important to remember that the form we most commonly see is the respiratory type. This version usually causes fever, nasal discharge, and a bit of lethargy, and most horses recover well with supportive care. Young horses, whose immune systems are still developing, are generally the most at risk for more noticeable symptoms. These typically include weanlings, yearlings, and two year olds.

The reproductive strain (often linked to EHV-1) can cause pregnant mares to abort, typically in the last trimester. What makes this form tricky is that mares often show little to no warning signs beforehand, which is why routine vaccination and thoughtful herd management are especially important. We recommend vaccinating with Pneumabort-K at 5, 7, and 9 months gestation.

The neurological form—known as Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy (EHM)—is the rarest but understandably the most concerning. Horses with EHM may develop uncoordinated movement, hind-end weakness, difficulty standing, or changes in bladder control.

We do have vaccines that help reduce the chance of infection and can lessen the severity of respiratory and reproductive disease, but there is currently no vaccine that protects against the neurological form (EHM). Vaccines are also not a guarantee that your horse will not contract it. Contact your veterinarian to schedule an appointment if you notice any symptoms, or would like to get your horse vaccinated.

In short, the most important things you can do to help your horses is to vaccinate and to keep them home. EHV is always around, the concern for this outbreak is due to the event it began in and the amount of traveling horses involved.

If you have any specific questions, leave them in the comments and we will get Dr. Geary's input! Follow the links below for more in depth information.

Casper is officially weaned and is living up to our expectations of being the sweetest boy. He's super friendly and is doing well learning how to halter break. We've almost got Dr. Geary convinced to keep him as a stallion, but until then he is still for sale! All of our stud colts have the option of us gelding them before you pick them up! Shoot us a message if there's one you have in mind!

SOLD
Tater tot is doing so well with her training, we're surprised nobody has snatched her up yet! She's leading well, picking up her feet, letting you pick out her feet, is lunging well both directions, and has had a fair bit of desensitizing with the lead rope. She is also tying, and learning how to stand tied for longer periods of time. Bonus, she turns a year old on January 11th!
