“Soapy” is quite the looker! He is a very stout 16.2hh and is a stunning dapple grey gelding. He is a registered Quarter Horse.
Soapy is green, with consistent walk/trot and some canter under saddle. He is extremely athletic and needs a rider who will put him to work. He has good ground manners and stands for grooming, bathing, and picks up feet, etc.
More information, pictures, and video will be uploaded shortly.
SOLD – Congrats to his new owner!
Superman is a solid black 6 YO Registered Tennessee Walking Horse offered at $4000. This gelding stands very nicely built at 15.1hh. He has a more stocky build than most TWH we see, and is well muscled to carry you over whatever terrain you want. He is naturally gaited, and his gaits are smooth and easy to ride at any speed you choose. He will happily walk all day if that is what you want to do, but also can get his energy up for a spirited ride if you change your mind! We mostly ride non-gaited horses here but have really enjoyed working with Superman, he is quite the character.
Superman has been in Stacey’s training program for 60 days, and has a solid foundation. He has been ridden extensively on the trails and does well. He is barefoot and remains sound despite the heavy work of the last few months. He has come far since he started with Stacey, gaining confidence every day.
He is extremely affectionate and really enjoys human interactions. He is sensitive, paying close attention to his human, wanting to please which makes grooming him enjoyable. Superman has lovely ground manners and really is a sweet horse. But being a sensitive horse, he is not quite ready for a beginner. His current owner was hoping to use him for police work, but decided Superman wasn’t going to cut it as a police mount, so we are helping her sell him.
Avi is an adorable 2010 chestnut and white grade paint. This 14.2hh gelding is offered for sale at $6500 (negotiable to right home). His naturally very forward. He has 3 great gaits. Avi is sensitive to seat and leg cues, and is developing really good control over his shoulder and back legs. He has been in consistent work for over a year now, no lameness issues. He is mostly trained on the flat, with lots of long trail rides. Jumping fundamentals have been added to his training program once a week starting in Oct 2017. He loads and hauls well, stands for grooming, bathing, farrier.
This gelding is very forward, and soft in the contact. He is still learning to relax and trust the hand, he was extremely above the bit when he came to us. But he is learning to work over his back and developing the muscle to carry himself. He has good conformation, beautiful feet. Has gone barefoot, but is currently in front steel shoes. Despite his crabby ears, I have found that he actually likes to work and tries hard for me. He greets me when I come to the gate and follows me around the barn yard. He is relatively unflappable hacking on the trail, and very sure footed. Crosses water, bridges, banks, rides well alone. Walks, trots, and lopes on loose rein on the trails.
He has a natural talent for jumping
, there is no stop in this guy – very brave. I highly recommend him as a foxhunter, trail horse, jumper, or eventer. We are going to be taking him to a few local schooling shows. Look for us out and about. I will happily give a lessons to introduce you to him, he is a great little mount, with a fun personality.
As you can see in our pics and videos, Avi needs someone his size. If he had a little more size on him, I would keep him for an event prospect. Come and meet this fun pony – email Amanda@acf.runruffian.com or call 706/338.1358.

Mike Branch’s clinics help students set and reach new goals as well reiterate communication between horse and rider. The format laid out is not a beginner arrangement. However, no rider is expected to know, or have mastered any of the proposed exercises prior to attending the clinic. The clinic is intended to point or guide you into the next phase of you and your horses journey together. “Mastering” each technique may or may not happen, it is a road map, if you will to yet another place for you to set a goal to attain.
