| RisKey's last days...... |
UPDATE: July, 2012
I have now put every horse we own at this web site....over 100 head of horses....all with photos, pedigrees, and prices.
With Ris Key gone, so is our desire to continue this breeding program. Oh, we'll always have some horses.....but not many. Not any more.
The web site is being revised (mostly done now), and prices have been reduced - up to 75% on some horses.
Package deals still available, plus we are getting some loads put together for hauling. But please don't email
unless you are a serious buyer. I'm really not in the best mood to deal with 'tire kickers'.
Update: October, 2012
We have found new homes for almost 1/3 of our herd (not counting the 25 weanlings) in the
last 3 months. Several broodmares and most of the yearlings (2011 foals) have been sold. Update: May, 2013 We have reduced numbers to approximately half of the original herd.
Now only 66 horses left - with sale pending on 4 of those) Obviously, numbers will increase (temporarily) now
that the 2013 foals are coming..... Thank
you to everyone that has been calling and emailing on our sale horses. The response has been amazing!
