These are super nice youngsters, from well planned breedings, sired by "rideable" stallions, out of quality mares. They are handled and trained by a young horse specialist, who is also a GRAND PRIX rider and USDF BRONZE, SILVER AND GOLD MEDALIST, CRAIG HECKERT. Our horses have very good reputations for being uncomplicated to ride and easy to get along with. Their beauty is the icing on the cake! All of their pedigrees are on www.Allbreedpedigree.com Just type the name in the horse query box.References Available! Our horses are priced reasonably and are equal or even superior to sport horses available anywhere in the world. The reality is that this is a horse business supported by the horses and that means sales have to happen. Give a Rivervale Farm horse a try. You won't be sorry. Trainers and Agents: Give us a call. We will do our best to be fair to all parties but our prices do not include commissions. Understandably, our move from South Dakota to South Carolina slowed progress with the young horses down. Everyone is coming along nicely now and new videos are up for several of them. If you would like to visit and meet them in person, give us a call to schedule an appointment.

He's over 16.1 already. He really took to free jumping and jumped very impressively. Ollie is a serious prospect for Eventing and Jumpers. He is microchipped, lifetime recorded with USEF, and will be registered with the Appaloosa Horse Club. Ollie is from the dam line that has produced RF Arkenstone, RF Azalea, RF Latte, RF Lilly Of The Valley and a couple of our nicest broodmares.

RF Artisan May 15, 2022, Appaloosa Sport Horse Gelding By BJC Asher Seven, out of Premium mare RF Mariachi, by Meisterwind. Artie is growing up into a nice young horse. He has a super sweet disposition and has been wonderful to work with. His canter is light and uphill. We feel he has much ability being from a family that has produced several very successful performers. He has some pretty fancy full siblings, two pictured below.
The new video was Artie's introduction to the jump chute. As you can see, it didn't take much encouragement for him to figure it out. He is just the most cooperative youngster, ever. I apologize for the quality of the video. The camera doesn't like shooting under the covered into the bright light. SOLD - CONGRATULATIONS MICAELA on your second Rivervale Farm horse!!!
