Wolverine
Wolverine is a 2007 Belgian gelding standing 17.3/18hh. He is a very healthy guy, but does have stringhalt. His case is mild and does not limit him much.
Wolverine is broke to ride and drive, but given the stringhalt riding only career is recommended. Flat ground and low speeds (walk/trot) is best. He is gentle, with a huge presence. Good to catch lead load tie and handle. Good to trailer in general.
Trims in stocks.
Would be best with an intermediate rider.
Adoption Fee: $2500
Morpheus
Morpheus is a 2017 Belgian draft gelding standing a massive 18hh.
He is super chill, very sweet, and a very lovable fellow. He is healthy - but does have moderate stringhalt. This means he is not suited to driving.
Thankfully, he enjoys being a riding horse and does well with beginners. Still, given the stringhalt, flat ground and low speeds are recommended.
Beginner safe, very sweet, good for all the things.

Nick
Nick is a very handsome Belgian draft horse gelding who stands at 16.3hh. He is approximately a 2003 model.
Nick is best suited as a pasture ornament. He has arthritis in his stifles which limits his working life, but he loves attention and is overall a good boy!
Adoption Fee: $500
Puck
Puck is a striking 2023 gelding. He is likely a Morgan cross, maybe with dutch harness horse. He is a very nice mover and is sound and healthy with no issues.
Puck is still hesitant about new people and requires grain to catch. Once caught though he handles well. Hoof handling is still a work in progress, but he is trimmable with patience (and treats).
Best guess is he will mature in the 15-16hh range.
As will all babies, he will need an intermediate+ home.
He will make a wonderful trail or dressage/jumping horse one day!
Adoption Fee: $1250
Maverick
Maverick is a 2014 Appaloosa/Arabian cross gelding. He is about 14.2hh.

Maverick is healthy and we do not know of any health issues or found any in our basic exam. He is a confident guy and he is a horse who will need ***extensive*** training to be ridable. He is friendly, but not yet halter broke although he will wear a halter. We will work on halter breaking with him until he will lead. If you were to adopt him now (this is being written in January 2026), you will need experience in training unhandled horses OR be working with a trainer who does.

Issac is scared of people he doesn't know and can be hard to catch. However, once caught, he is easy to handle and does well as far as leading, loading, tying and foot handling.
Issac is broke to drive but we have not ridden him. He would benefit from a restart on the ground and building a relationship with his new people.
