Brood mares and foals are not the only horses we keep in Illinois. We keep horses to trail ride and show as amateurs, as well. They have helped to bring some new owners to the breed. There aren't alot of Rocky Mountain Horses in Illinois, so often these horses are the first "in person" exposure to the breed visitors to our farm have. We get questions from people who drive past and see them in the fields. They often ask "What color is that horse?" and " What kind of horses are those?" We get emails and phone calls from people who want to see what this breed is about and come by just to see them under saddle and in the pastures. If you live nearby and would like to meet a mountain horse, contact us for a farm visit. When we trail ride, our's may be the only gaited mountain horses other riders have seen. People are often surprised to see that not only can they "keep up" with the quarter horses, but that we would like to gait more than they would like to trot. Visitors, to our farm, are impressed when even the youngest foals come to the fence for petting and attention and everyone is delighted when the horses "talk " to them as they approach. Our mares seem to especially love children and are very careful with them around. No holiday family dinner at our house is complete without a trip outside for the nieces and nephews to pet their friends. We enjoy getting our grandchildren up on the horses with us more each year. They all participated in their first leadline competition this year. We were so proud of the kids and of the horses. I think we will be doing more of this. |
We have several horses for sale. You can see them here or on the In Kentucky page. Many of them are young horses by our stallion, Venture's Black Fury. They gait in the field at freedom at only a few hours of age and they all gait under saddle from even the first few steps. Fury's offspring are proving to be beautiful, friendly, people oriented, and willing. Among these horses you will see some of the best conformation horses in the Mountian Horse breeds. If you are looking for a stallion, check out Fury and his son, Flash, on Our Stallions page. Contact Chris and Stacie Tipton, our trainers, at Cool Shade Mountain Horses
If you are looking for a young horse, to work with and to become your lifelong friend, you may find just what you are looking for here. Contact us by email for further information or for other pictures of our horses for sale. |
