Horses for Sale

A note for beginner riders looking to purchase a horse… Click. We only market horses for sale that are UTD. Horses used in the Maverick program are on a regular schedule with the farrier, dental specialist and chiropractor. Horses are vaccinated yearly for carrying contagions. They are wormed according to the health of the herd. As a fully operational horse herd, they have a good life– living as horses are meant to live. They are cared for by us, but living out on the hundred acre wood means that at any given time, there are at least a few horses with cosmetic scratches on them. We believe that horses do not belong in stalls. We rehome to boarders at facilities with stall boarding as long as there is pasture turnout and regular exercise. The goal with any sale of our horses is first and foremost to promote the sustainability of our eco managed ranch, but also to serve the horse him or herself. We want our horses to go onto homes where they will get more attention from an adoring few riders. Horses may not be rehomed to locations were they will be the only equine, ever. If you are under contract with Maverick’s and you need a loaner horse, please inquire. All horses are responsive, and handled regularly by children and beginners. They are desensitized to flappy hands, round and sudden noises, and all things crinkly, honking, roaring, barking, chirping, fluttering and otherwise deadly to horses. We do not represent our horses as bombproof, but as “Used by beginners/children” or “child/beginner proven.” A horse isn’t “proven” until they’ve had some 50 different types riders on them.  Their price reflects registration, to some degree, but also to what degree they are proven. All horses are suitable for riding doubles, bareback in the water with a halter, to pony a horse or two off of, open and close gates, accept the bit, canter with guest riders, drags. carcass, stretch all four legs in all directions, clear trails by breaking branches overhead, encounter steep elevation changes, walk up to a train or vehicle if prompted, stand ground tied and of course all of the basics like load, lead politely, stand for the farrier, etc. Multi horse discounts available to buyers who keep our stock together with contract. Ask about cattle, sheep and goats for sale. 

Rusty: 8 yr old red gelding for sale

Rusty is an incredibly athletic gelding who has been in use for public riders and confident experienced youth riders for over a year with us. Currently, we trust Rusty to take beginners who are attentive to instructor direction, athletic and confident. He has trollied many a youth rider to Barbecue in town, navigating railroad crossings, noisy trains and traffic, barking dogs and more. Rusty is a solid mount for a variety of water crossings, ponying, riding doubles or bareback, opening and closing gates, and general working ranch chores. Rusty reins English and Western, and is used for general hacking as well as English riding lessons (currently teaching intermediate riders to canter, and beginners to trot). He is approximately 14’3, with a lean build. Because of Rusty’s athleticism, we would like to see him go to a home were youth or amateur competition will fully engage him. $8500 First right of refusal is required.

Ellie Mae: 17 yr old Tennessee Walking Horse Mare for sale

Ellie Mae is the newest member to the team, and has been with us since about October of 2019. What we love about EM is that she can manage to walk comfortably with the non-gaited horses. Since her time with us, EM has learned to neck rein, pony, be ponied, open gates, ride to town, traverse a diversity of water crossings. While she did not have a steady flat walk when she first came to us, now she has both a flat and a running walk, and she will also walk or canter with the group as requested.  EM is not our go-to for ponying as she can be sensitive having other horses right next to her, however experienced guides use her regularly to pony and to pony off of without a hitch.  EM is a fun horse with no buck, bolt or rear. She’s bossy though!!  She is not a fan of ponying but we do that with her all the time.  Some vision reduced but she does great on trail with her buddies under the direction of an experienced handler.  Used regularly for petite youth riders.  $4500 First right of refusal is required.
