Frequently Asked Questions ...
Where can I buy a pony for my kids?
You can find ponies for sale from time to time, but good ones, already trained for riding, are hard to get.
The major difficulty is ensuring that a pony is actually
appropriate. We recommend that you have an accomplished horseman with
you when you go to look at a pony, and that you avoid buying just
because a pony looks pretty. They all look pretty!
We currently do not have any smaller ponies for sale, nor any
that are rideable by children. Ask us about our American Saddlebred
horse or our Haflingers.
Where can I buy a good saddle?
You can find good used pony saddles on eBay, which
is where we have gotten many of ours, but you'll have to know what you
are looking for.
For horse-sized saddles, your best bet is a used one made by one of
the reputable saddle makers. Our favorite for "English" riding
(including dressage) is the Stubben Sigfried, made in Germany. OurStubben
saddles are over 50 years old. Try to avoid the made-in-India saddles
that look good but are of poorly tanned leather. In our experience the
fall apart in only a few years.
We currently have a dressage saddle, custom made in Ireland, but
with no maker's name, for sale for $300 plus shipping. Contact us at
