Thank you for visiting. If you are looking for a Lipizzan for your lifetime, ultimate
riding horse, you are on the right track. We hope you are able to find the horse of your dream
who will meet your expectations, goals, and fantasies. We always match the right horse to the
right rider/owner. We won't sell you a Lipizzan horse that we don't think is a match. You can
trust us to be evaluative and honest. My reputation as a reputable Lipizzan breeder/seller goes
back over twenty years. You can count on honesty, fairness, and top quality hores.
We accept payment terms to good homes, responsible owners, and
if the horse is insured. We also provide prepurchase exams (your choice of veterinarian) on video so you can
watch the entire, unedited video, and talk to the veterinarian over the phone
if you have any questions. Purchases made by video have 90-day money back
guarantee (you pay transportation and the horse is returned healthy).
All babies are trailer trained to travel safely before they leave the ranch.
We also board fillies & geldings purchased from us for $175/month
(no labor costs and noprofit to us -- just direct, actual costs),
~ includes alfalfa & oat hay, grain, farrier care, vaccinations & wormings,
for up to 2 years.
Why do we do this? Because we want our clients to be able
to choose the horse that is best for them without worrying about how much it costs to
board while waiting for the Lipizzan to "grow up" even if it means two years.
We also board stallions until they are two years of age. It is possible we may charge
more for boarding stallions (fencing, etc). The young stallions go
in pasture with 2 or 3 pregnant brood mares. This works out very well because
the mares are excellent at teaching the stud colts good, respectful manners.
We have never seen this guarantee elsewhere in the "horse biz" but
it is our guarantee: if you purchase a horse from us and it ever becomes necessary for you to sell
your Lipizzan, we will use all our resources (21 years in the Lipizzan breeding business)
to help you find the right home for only our direct costs
(phone charges, copy charges, postage, video tapes, etc.)
... no commission or fees. Guaranteed !
Our focus is to match the right owner to the right Lipizzan and continue building our business based on referrals
from very satisfied clients . . . who, ultimately, become part of the "family" of owners of Smokey's descendants.
