Two stalls wanted……I hope to bring two 14’3 hand Welsh Cob geldings to Aiken for two or three months starting in February 2009. I hope to find suitable stabling within five miles of the polo field on Powder House Road. I drive and would prefer to be able to put my carriage under cover but could perhaps erect a portable cover if the space was available. Both horses are quiet and friendly and get along very well with other horses. My contact information is Jean Northrup 506-832-0909 or E Mail at southfld@nbnet.nb.ca

Peguania D'Amour is a 10 yo Selle Francaise cross mare with three nice gaits. She is forward thinking, responsive, athletic, and has a big, powerful engine. Her lateral work is good, and she has a killer lengthen and medium trot. She is 15.2h, but she rides much bigger. She is easy to deal with around the barn- clips, ties, farrier, etc, etc. She is also a VERY easy keeper, is sound, and has very nice feet.

This is a very fun horse and will make a great partner for someone looking for more of a "sports car" ride rather than a tank. She is scoring mid 60s at First Level at local competitions, and her scores should only improve in a serious dressage home. She would do well in a competitive home. A great horse for a talented amateur or YR.  Price reduced to $9500, but seller is VERY motivated and taking offers.  ** More pictures available.
