The blue Link above will take you to an add ~ read the blog post first ~ :)
This is an add for my most wonderful mare Libby ~ I even figured out how to post a video! That alone is totally worth the look:)
A little "extra" about Libby~ Libby was obtained so that I would have a safe, dead broke trail horse. I do not like the trails. I am an arena girl myself. Take me to a show and put me in an arena and I am happy. Libby is a perfect trail horse.
When all the horses escaped in the middle of an ice storm at 11:00 p.m. on a cold, very dark and windy night because someone had left the gate wide open...it was Libby who answered my calls. It was Libby that I led with a lead rope through my car window while she was pelted with ice and sleet driving 0 (that is ZERO) miles and hour for a mile back home. All the other horses followed Libby. The rear car door was frozen open and kept hitting her in the flank the entire way. Libby walked calmly and slowly with her head down, stopping from time to time to ensure that her buddies were keeping up with her.
When we have a frightened or unbalanced rider come to visit, we use Libby.

If we haven't ridden 3 weeks, we pull Libby out of the pasture and ride her. She is always the same, rain or shine, snow or sleet (that is verified) in pasture or out of pasture.
When we want to go bareback with a halter and leadrope, we choose Libby, she neckreins like a dream. When I want to show a child how to pick a horses hooves, Libby is our Guinea Pig.
When the we wanted to offer "free pony rides" at the local rodeo show to the wide-eyed younger spectators, we used Libby. Even some of the older spectators joined in on the fun:)
Libby has been decorated in fancy pink ribbons, glitter, had her hooves painted metallic gold (and silver), had hearts and crosses painted on her rump, and stood quietly for hours while all of this has been done. She has fulfilled many a young girls dream to brush out the long, flowing tail of the mighty steed. She stands with her head down, her eyes soft and her feet very still while children lavish attention upon her.
Libby has been barked at by crazy neighbor dogs and harassed by the lead mare, and led around like a giant dog ~ to the point that the neighbors sometimes came out on the porch to wave as we went by walking our horse on a lead rope!

She is first to greet us in the pasture and often has a welcoming nicker of hello upon sighting the car coming up the driveway on the way home from a long outing.
So ~ you surely are asking yourself...why? Why are you selling Libby? I am selling Libby because she is the most marketable of all my horses...with the one exception of Sugar... B's horse, whom we will never sell. Sugar is well into her 20's and will be staying with us until the end. My other horses are a bit..."quirky" and hard for others to connect with. Libby will get on well with anyone who is kind and gentle with her.

Now, to be fair, I priced Libby at $2500 because she is worth every single penny of it. In fact, I paid almost the same for miss Sugar when we got her and she is worth her weight in gold ~ even if my husband at the time almost had a heart attack. Though now he will admit the soundness of my decision. Sugar has taken care of our little boy since he was only 2 years old. I think that Libby can do the same for another child out there.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes
UPDATE! I have posted these photos of Libby because I have had several requests for photos of her from front/back and both sides. Evidently the video is not as great as I thought.
ALSO ~ yes, I am aware of the saddle sore spots on her back, she came like that. We did NOT do that to this horse.
