Pyramid Power "Pi"
Pi is a rather lovely 2015 TB Gelding. He is unraced but registered with the Jockey Club. He stands at 17.2hh and has incredibly good bone for his breed. He is a lovely stockier type, that is paired with a polite and gentlemanly disposition.
He would be best suited to an upper-intermediate or advanced home due to his size and medical history. Pi was diagnosed with Shivers, a neurological condition that affects movement. Currently Pi only has a restriction in his hind legs. This is seen when asked to back up or asked to pick up the leg for hoof care. In addition to this, Pi’s confirmation shows that he is over at the knee.
Pi would be a fabulous quiet companion or lighter pleasure riding horse in the right home. He is super in a group and doesn’t get overly excited. He is equally fine alone on trails.
Let us know if Pi is the right horse for you!

Stick to Roses "Sticks"
Stick to Roses (“Sticks”), a 2000 16hh Thoroughbred gelding, is a puppy dog of a gelding looking for a companion home. After winning over $16,000 on the tracks, he was retired from racing to recuperate from a cannon bone injury. He is pasture sound, barefoot, and up to date on all shots.
He is an excellent babysitter, and he has been asked to watch over a number of young horses. He has gotten along with every horse he’s ever met! He is a snuggler, and he really wants to make his person happy. He’d probably really enjoy groundwork with a calm, gentle handler. He would do best with an intermediate handler, as he can be on the nervous side. If you’re looking for a great companion horse to love on or one to keep your riding horse company, Sticks might be your guy!
