✨ Mr Nic Chic “RIPLEY” — $20,000 asking but open to offers✨2016 AQHA Registered Buckskin Gelding | 14.1 HH
Ripley is for sale through absolutely NO fault of his own. No, seriously—the only reason we’re even having this conversation is that his wonderful owner is retiring and wants to make sure this special guy has the very best opportunities for his next chapter.
And while I’ll be completely honest and say I’m not thrilled about seeing him leave our program, my biggest priority is helping Ripley find the right person and his next big adventure. ❤️
🏆 THE BASICS
• 2016 AQHA registered gelding
• Beautiful buckskin
• 14.1 HH
• Barefoot
• No maintenance outside of regular routine care
• Easy keeper and genuinely easy to have around
🥇 THE RESUME
Ripley has a resume that speaks for itself:
• Finished and winning 3D/4D barrel horse with plenty of room to continue developing
• Finished flag-carrying drill horse
• Youth deluxe — used in lessons for riders of all abilities
• Successfully used for summer camps, kinder lessons, and nervous adult beginners
• Safe and dependable trail horse
• Has enjoyed overnight camping
• Exposed to cattle, pole bending, working equitation, trail obstacles, and probably a dozen other things I’m forgetting to mention
• His attitude is simple: ask him to try something and he’ll give it an honest shot
❤️ FROM HIS TRAINER
I’ve had Ripley in my program for over 6 years, and he has truly become a staple here.
He is a fan favorite for a reason. He has a quiet demeanor, smooth gaits, a sweet personality, and the kind of versatility that makes him incredibly valuable. He has been an active money-maker in our program through youth leases, drill use, and lesson credits.
More importantly, he has been the kind of horse you can trust to show up and do his job.
He isn't just a horse with a resume—he's a horse who has been a part of our program, our students' experiences, and our everyday life for years. This includes six years of medical and maintenance history to bring comfort to any buyer.
For the right buyer, there may also be an opportunity for Ripley to remain at our private facility if you are interested in becoming part of our program or would like him to continue his involvement here.
Ripley has done a little bit of everything, and he has proven himself to be the type of horse who can be a competitive partner, lesson horse, youth horse, trail companion, or simply the horse you do a little bit of everything with.
We are asking $20,000 for this special guy but open to offers!
📍 Located in Woodstock, IL.
Serious inquiries are welcome. The right home is extremely important to us, and we are happy to answer questions, provide additional videos/information, and discuss whether Ripley may be the right fit for you.
He’s a good one—and finding him the right next chapter is what matters most. ❤️
