Man of Mystery , aka "Clark",
is an 11 y/o 16.1h TB gelding. We purchased Clark directly off the
track as a 4 y/o. He quickly became a favorite and is to this
day on my top five list of horses we've ever had. He is smart,
athletic, hard working, a huge mover and super fun to ride. He has
been eventing in Arkansas but has recently has been out of work.
Once Clark is strong again he'll be very competitive. He's an
outstanding dressage horse and could easily focus as a serious dressage
competitor. $4,500.

Successful J is a 2005 16.1h Tb gelding. Jay came off the track in Oct 2009. He spent the winter off and has been restarted since March. Jay has shown so much athleticism and scope that his owner regretfully parted with him so that he can find a more ambitious partner. On the way to our farm Jay injured his foot. He's doing great but is unavailable while he heals. Let us know if you'd like us to keep you posted about this fabulous guy. | |

Silver Flash, aka "Brighton", is a
2003 16.1h TB gelding. This guy sure has worked his way into my heart.
He's bright, cheerful and thinks he's hilarious. Lovely floaty mover
with reach and suspension. His canter is amazing to sit! It's
light and extremely rhythmic.
Working over fences
and easy changes, Brighton has discovered that he really likes to
jump... he looks for fences and really locks on and takes you there. He's very athletic
and enjoys working round. Brighton is a lovely combination of
sensible, smart and energetic. Although not at all dull, Brighton is a
very kind and straightforward ammy ride. If you like a smart over achiever who
will excel with an ambitious rider with a fast paced program
then he's the one for you! $7,500

Lark Tune is a 2005 16.1h TB gelding. Lark was broken and raced with one owner. He lived at the farm and shipped in to race so has had a fairly relaxing career. He was even trail ridden between races. He's very quiet and sweet. Arriving 6/13 More | |
 |
Deputy Wanted, aka "Wyatt",
is a 2006 16.2h TB gelding. Sweet and big is the best description
for Wyatt. 10 days out from his last race I would have put a small
child on him for a pony ride around the barnyard. Wyatt loves
attention and wants a rider who will spend time with him. He tries
his heart out and will respond best to a non-aggressive partner. At
just 2 rides he was hacking around in our big field quietly without
another horse in sight and with the rowdy dogs. The best part
is he's extremely athletic with big gaits. We expect a lot of scope
from this boy. Need that hard to find combination of talent and size
in a highly kid/ammy friendly package? Here's your guy.

Cooperstown, aka "Cooper",
is a 2001 16h TB gelding. Cooper is super athletic and prone to
being cocky. Enormous trot and jump in this boy. He is
uncomplicated and working well but but can be a lot of horse and requires
a confident and experienced rider. Nevertheless, he is settled,
hacks on the buckle and deals with chaotic dogs and new environments very
quietly. Great deal for the right rider.

Classic Fun, aka "Isaac", is
a 2005 17h TB gelding. This sweet, sweet boy loves a good
cuddle and is delightful to work around. Isaac is a very big boy and
clearly not done growing and filling out. So, if you don't like the
big ones then you won't like Isaac. He has impressed us
with his cool, calm demeanor and outstanding ridability . In
spite of his extremely long legs and youthfulness Isaac is a very easy,
balanced and organized ride. You couldn't ask for a more
trainable 4 y/o. First time over fences, Isaac just loped
around....they'll need to get pretty big before he actually jumps! More

Mr Wenzel, aka "Juno", is a
2003 16.1h TB gelding. Juno is an exceptional fellow and very
amateur friendly. He has as much push and elevation as any Tb right OTT we've ever seen.
Super rhythmic, very laterally stable and very quiet...Juno is as easy as
they come. Trails on the buckle, jumps from any spot no matter where
you place him, his
gaits are awesome to sit...super comfie! This casual minded boy
may be green but he's all packer between the ears. He's been jumped
up to 2'6" and really starting to lock on to the fences.

Labeebs Quatrain, aka "Poe",
is a 16h 5 y/o unraced TB. The best way to describe Poe is content.
He's a super kind fellow with a quiet sense of humor.
Poe is built like a tank and will easily carry a very large person yet is
not at all physical to ride so very comfortable for the smaller folks.
He's super quiet out and about and tries his heart out. Poe had some
H/J schooling show experience last year and offers an outstanding trot
with great reach and elasticity and a powerful jump. Here's a very
rare dead quiet horse that still has the talent to go far. More

Joshuatail, aka "Joshua", is
a 16h 2005 TB gelding. Flashy in presence, movement, athleticism
and markings, Joshua is certainly one to watch. He sports an
enormously powerful hind end. His 1/2 brother was sold here at our
farm last year. Joshua is showing the same jumping promise as
his talented brother. His canter is amazing to sit...you don't even
feel his feet touch the ground! He's super sweet and is a
very easy ride. Lovely boy and an
excellent investment. You could not ask for an easier or
quicker learning baby.

Based on conformation, disposition and pedigree we are thinking this one will be an eventing super star! More | |
|
Mr Rajiv, aka "Curry",
is a 16.1h 1999 TB gelding. Cute as a button and super fun to ride.
Curry could do the hunters or event. Fabulous and easy jump
plus bold and athletic. If you like a horse that fancies himself and
has a sense of humor then you simply must meet Curry. "A hoot" is
the best way to describe him. Curry ran for 66 starts and they
just couldn't break him. Getting back into work after some well
deserved R&R. More

barn. Oliver is an outstanding mover with power, reach,
elevation and suspension. He's had miles in the hunter, EQ and
Jumper ring. Currently brushing up on his dressage skills where he's
proving to have the focus and desire to excel as an event horse. If
we could have another permanent resident here Oliver would be staying!

is a bay 16.3h 4 y/o TB gelding. Sweet, sweet , sweet! Here's
one of the most peaceful 4 y/os we've ever met. Enormous stride and
slow off the ground. Dublin has fantastic feet, huge bone and
is a pleasure to work around. He's easy to ride, neither dull nor
hot, super over fences. Jumps 3'6" with style and ease with
just 2 1/2 months of off track training. Really shows a tremendous desire to
come to the base and PUSH. His canter is a real treat to sit.

plenty of talent! We expect him to finish out with a monster sized
jump.

Major Asset, aka "Johnny", is a 16.3h 5 y/o
TB gelding. If you want a very large guy that certainly doesn't ride
big and is as sweet as can be then look no further! It's been well over a year since this fella
raced. He's been hanging out and has even hunted 3 times.
Enormous elastic mover with a huge engine. VERY quiet and an easy,
easy ride. Johnny aims to please and is very good at it! Huge
bone, huge feet, huge everything...yet not in the least bit coarse.

Lou Lou's A Gamer, aka "Lou Lou"
is a 15.3h 5 y/o TB mare. If you like a sports car ride in a
mare that tries her heart out and works her butt off then here she is!
This little lady is so much fun to ride and is VERY athletic. Lou
Lou is quite the bionic event prospect. We'd love to match her with
an ambitious rider who enjoys a true partnership. She is very honest
and progresses quickly. Within minutes she was working off the leg.

underneath you...she's truly a charmer!

 |
Executive Willie, aka "Willie",
is a 16h 2001 dark
bay TB gelding. Cute and very quiet! Willie is a snuggler.
He's a love and would make a very nice kids or timid adult horse.
His incredible work ethic and desire to please makes him also fun and
appropriate for a far more experienced rider. He's as dead broke
between the ears as they come. Willie came to
us very scruffy, wormy and withdrawn and we are delighted to be watching
him turn into such a stunning boy. He has a huge
body and a lovely long neck so will fit large riders well. Willie is
relaxed and brave...if you want a horse that'll cart you around while you
remain 1/2 asleep then get to hard , serious work at the snap of a finger
then here's your boy!

gelding. HUGE mover loaded with presence......we've never had one
with so much air time! Event riders take
note...he's got the confidence, athleticism and movement to be something special.
This guy is also amazing between the ears....such a special and unusual
combination of bold and tractable. Started over fences- Luke was cantering
broken lines just 10 days off the track! He has amazing feet and
conformation.
So far we simply cannot fault him! If it can be said that a horse
this green has upper level potential this one is it.

roll. He has presence and then more presence. Kiwi has
that WOW factor for the seriously ambitious. He's a HUGE mover with
tremendous power and extension....will be highly competitive against the
WBs in dressage. Kiwi loves a rider who really works him hard and
challenges him...the more you ask for the harder he tries.

catty. Uncomplicated undersaddle, stretching into the bridle and
started over fences. 6th ride and just 3 y/os and Lincoln was

trotting crossrails and loping around like a seasoned kids horse. Trails

for an experienced rider but easy enough for a first green horse.

 |
Ninety Second KO, aka "Phoenix"
, is a 16+h 5 y/o TB gelding. Phoenix arrived in November as a
rescue. We weren't sure if he'd turn into a fancy hunter but we sure
were hoping he would! He came as a stud with only one testicle
descended, terrible feet, emaciated, terrified and the
scrawniest 15.2h we've ever seen. He was named Phoenix in the hopes
that he'd grow into that name. He's now MASSIVE, playful, very
healthy and ready
to go to work! Phoenix works in our jumping field like a champ and
just tick tocks along. A bit lazy and very uncomplicated yet
athletic, Phoenix will make a super children's hunter. Loves to be doted on...he's earned it!

working undersaddle after some R & R.....he wasn't injured but had raced
fairly hard and deserved some time to relax. Sure looks like Tango
has a passion for jumping! He is as bold as they come and is very

Big Bad Leroy, aka "Leroy",
is a 1999, 16.2h, TB gelding. What very large
bodied and boned yet handsome youngster!
Leroy has tremendous power over
fences, huge
movement, big stride and suspension. He will
easily carry a very large rider and is one cool customer. W/T/C,
offering changes, has been started over fences up to
3', and trails on the buckle. You must sit on Leroy to fully
appreciate the power of movement and jump that is waiting to bust out.
He is very quiet minded but forward and super responsive so goes best for the light and tactful rider. This horse is an outstanding choice for the rider
looking for an athletic, forward baby that is ready for some serious
jumping....he is happiest to bigger fences and is tired of dilly dallying
here at Maple Shade. He is tremendously careful, scopey and brave to
fences. This is one heck-of-a jumper! Currently located in
Youngsville, NC at Fieldstone Farm
