Around here, we refer to Sweet Sally as our big, comfy couch and that may be the best way to explain what it feels like to ride her.

Sally is only being offered for sale because of the unexpected passing of our father. This is not an easy sale & finding a good home for her matters very much to us.

She is a striking 18 year old black and white tobiano Friesian/Tennessee Walking Horse cross mare. She stands 15.1 hands. With her bold markings, black head &neck, exceptionally long wavy mane and tail, substantial build, and strong hindquarter, Sweet Sally has the kind of presence that immediately catches your attention.

Sally has good bone and size, is quiet, naturally gaited, and wonderfully smooth. She is the kind of horse you can settle into, relax on, and simply enjoy. Her comfortable gaits make her especially nice for anyone who doesn’t want to bounce around at a trot.

For at least the past three years, possibly more, Sally has been part of a children’s summer camp & lesson program, where she has been ridden by beginners & intermediate riders. She was not only trusted with students but we often were told how the instructors loved Sally and happily chose to ride her themselves because she is so smooth, comfortable, & fun!

Sally has been ridden both English & Western. She direct reins, stops, backs, and moves willingly through her natural gait at different speeds. She is quiet under saddle and has been ridden alone as well as with other horses.

One of the things to note about Sally is that she is not limited to one type or size of rider. Children, women, and men have all been able to ride and enjoy her. She has the quiet, forgiving nature that can be reassuring for a less experienced rider, while her substantial build gives her enough size and substance to comfortably suit an adult man.

Sally has been trail ridden across the hills and varied terrain of Northeast Pennsylvania. She is accustomed to road traffic, wildlife, cattle, farm machinery, and the everyday activity that comes with life on a farm and in a busy camp program. She has experience outside the arena and is an easygoing mare who does well in many different situations.

Sally stands for mounting and dismounting, bathes, & loads and unloads from the trailer. She is patient for the farrier and stands calmly through the entire shoeing process, including being hot shod.

She has routinely been kept shod during the riding season &barefoot for approximately half the year. Her teeth were floated August 2026.

She has lived both outside in the pasture &in a stall and gets along with mares and geldings. She is a friendly, uncomplicated, easygoing horse who is pleasant to ride & enjoyable to have around.

More than anything, we want to find a lasting home where Sally will continue to be loved &appreciated for the comfortable, kindhearted mare she is.

I’ve run out of space, but certainly not things to say about Sally! There is so much more I’d love to share, so please reach out for part 2
