Born and raised at Bonnie Lea Farm
All of our babies are people oriented and friendly. They are sensible, sound and without vices. All stand for the farrier and vet, stand tied and load easily onto a trailer. The foals from our farm are well socialized and turnout with several others. All have grown into faithful companions and many into brave show horses!
Sagitta - chestnut & white T.B.x Paint, 16h. Father on premises. Sweet girl, brave on the trail and the ring. Shown successfully in hunters and equitation, steady stride, great rhythm, has easy lead changes and smooth gaits. Her flashy pattern sets her apart in the show ring, so the judge is sure to see her beautiful movement, but her easy temperament makes her a joy to take out on a trail. *RECENTLY made Champion in Jumpers at the summer GMHA Hunter/Jumper Show!!* $17,000
Clear Blue - Reg. Dark bay TB gelding, 16.2h. Wonderful trail horse for a rider who can appreciate his size! Handsome and friendly, used to clear low branches on trails, open gates, and pony others. This gentle giant rides out alone or with a dog on his heels! $5000

Cadet’s Dress Code- Morgan/TB cross 2005 gelding, half-brother to Reveille. This handsome boy is just over 16 hh, with strong legs and feet, a beautiful coat and eyes that will melt your heart. “Dressy” is lovable and playful, but when it’s time to get down to riding, he’s all business. He took to the saddle as if he knew if was his time to shine, and he’s quickly becoming quite a fancy guy! You can his gorgeous trot from the pictures, and (like all of our Bittersweet babies) he is strong, fit, healthy and athletic. This is one horse you CAN NOT miss out on! $15,000
