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.
Listed below are some of the quality young horses currently offered. We always have weanlings, yearlings and youngsters that aren't on this page, as well. They are growing up, being horses, in large pastures, not tiny paddocks or stalls. We don't believe a sane, sound athlete can be raised in a stall. If you would like to visit and meet the horses, give us a call to schedule an appointment. Patty (605)430-5680 * Craig (605)430-0669 We will always consider reasonable offers that are ideal situations for our horses! And we won't sell you a horse if it isn't a good match. ************* |
RF A-OK 6/3/2020 Black, Warmblood X Appaloosa Sport Horse Gelding. By BJC Asher Seven, out of RF Laguna Beach, by Lion King. 
|
A-OK is a super nice, BIG, solid, 16.2 young horse out of one of our best and favorite mares, Laguna Beach, she is by Lion King, out of "Seaside" an imported Hanoverian mare who was a Champion Hunter. A-OK is black with minimal appaloosa coat coloring at this point. He may color more, but it is his movement, and "million dollar mind" that make him very special. Okie is the whole package. He is a serious 3 ring prospect. Okie is going super under saddle, and is as close to "bombproof" as you are ever going to find in a horse his age. He's an old soul in a tremendously talented prospect. He's jumping around 2'6" to 2'11"courses nicely and we feel he has the ability to jump the big tracks. He has a wonderful work ethic and absolutely loves people. His attitude about everything is willing, and enthusiastic. He is good to shoe, clip, vacuum and easy to catch. He is good in a pasture or stall, rides out nicely on the trails. He is microchipped and lifetime recorded with USEF and USHJA. .
Okie is now under the tutelage of Christy Burns and Robin Tinney in Greenville, NC to continue to develop his incredible talent. Call Robin Tinney (252)341-0396 to schedule a time to try Okie.
