CZECH MATE | TROY
2003, 15.2 1/4 hand gelding available for lease. A true Low Child/Adult Hunter machine, derby king and confidence builder with an automatic lead change, leg ride and all the miles. Troy can absolutely still do the 2’6”, but we would love to find him a 2’–2’3” job with the occasional 2’6” class. Knows his job, takes a joke and is just plain fun. In-barn full lease preferred, but will consider an exceptional outside show program. low fives, lease ONLY

MY FRIEND FLICKA | FLICKA
7 year old, 15 hand mare available for lease, lease to purchase or purchase. Sporty, comfortable and brave with a lead change and miles through the .85 jumpers. Quiet and easy on the flat with her own motor to the jumps. Best suited for a teen or small adult who likes a forward ride to the fences. Jumper ring is her happy place, but she would also be a blast on XC, can do the local hunter and trail rides. Low fives to lease, low/mid fives to buy.

SUGARCOATED | LUNA
2010, 13.0 hand medium pony mare available for yearly lease only. A true xrails through Short Stirrup packer type. Cute, safe and always jumps. She does have a lead change, but it is not easy for a kid to get, so we consider her a no-change pony but a lead landing queen. Loves to trail ride and knows how to be a kid’s best friend. Perfect for a xrail kiddo looking to move up to the short stirrup. In-barn lease highly preferred, but will consider lease to an excellent show home with great care. Four figures to lease. Not for sale.

STORMY MOON | LILO
7 year old, 16 hand Thoroughbred mare available for care lease. Trainer owned (mine), but currently on my back burner. Previously coursing 2’6” with a lead change and currently flatting a couple times a week. She is ready for someone to put her back into a consistent program. Lilo is smart, sensitive and athletic, but can sometimes be reactive, so she needs a confident rider comfortable with a green type and some patience and stickability on a bad day. Lots of turnout is a big plus for her.

If you’re a trainer with a brave teen or adult who lives at the barn, can ride green ones, doesn’t have the budget to lease something but has the time and wants something to love, let’s talk. I’m more interested in finding Lilo the right person and a job than anything else. More hunter type, but I would not be opposed to some low level XC for her brain. In-barn lease highly preferred, but I will absolutely lease her to the right person under professional guidance. NOT for a beginner. CARE/EXPENSE LEASE.

LUNA | SUGARCOATED
AVAILABLE FOR YEARLY LEASE ONLY 〰️

2010, 13.0 hand medium pony mare, very sadly outgrown and ready for her next kid! She is a true ground poles through Short Stirrup packer type. A great first pony lease. Cute as can be, always jumps, trail rides, knows how to smile and knows how to be a kid’s best friend. She does have a lead change, but it is not easy for a kid to get but is a landing lead queen.

In-barn lease at Above the Bar Sport Horses highly preffered, but will lease off-site to a quality show home with excellent care and program.

As our amazing assistant heads off to college fulltime, Above the Bar Sport Horses is looking to add another person to our team to fill the gap.

Our immediate need is 3 days per week, but for the right person, I would be open to creating a full time position.

Above the Bar is a hunter/jumper program with a strong focus on hunters. I’m looking for someone 18+ who is confident and comfortable riding a variety of horses. A strong foundation in flatwork is important.

There will always be horses to ride, but this position is more than riding. Above the Bar is a fast moving program with both show clients and horses in our sales program, and I’m looking for someone who enjoys being involved in all the details that fit into keeping our program running smoothly.

Some days you may be helping ride several horses, other days you may be helping with sales videos and photos, setting courses, preparing for horse shows, organizing the barn, or taking care of the many little details that make a difference.

Jumping experience is not required, but it is a bonus. If jumping is something you are confident in, there will be plenty of opportunities but not required.

I’m looking for someone who can be a bit of a right hand or chaos coordinator. Someone who notices the little things, is one step ahead, and doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty. The right person is dependable, organized, proactive, takes direction well, and takes pride in doing things the right way.

Franklin, Kentucky
Competitive pay based on experience. No housing provided. 615-310-5190

Expense/care lease opportunity available at Above the Bar Sport Horses in Franklin, KY. I am willing to get very creative for the right, committed person.

Lilo is a 7 year old, 16h Thoroughbred mare who is desperately wanting a person! She is trainer owned (mine), but currently somewhat on the back burner simply because there are only so many hours in the day. She really wants and needs a job, and more than anything, she needs someone committed to her.

She is smart, sensitive and bold. She will course around 2’6”, has an easy lead change and has the scope for more. She is still green and a bit mentally immature, so she needs a good riding teen or adult who understands green horses and actually enjoys the process. One day may be fantastic and the next may have you wondering if her brain is functioning properly. That said, she is really cool and has a ton of potential just needs consistency that I cannot give her right now.

I would love to find her an onsite care lease here at Above the Bar, but I would also consider an offsite lease to a GOOD, solid program with turnout for a junior or adult rider who needs something to ride under the guidance of a trainer.

If you’re a trainer with a gritty, scrappy kid or adult who lives at the barn, doesn’t have a huge budget or one at all, but needs something to love, ride and show, reach out.

I care much more about finding Lilo the right person than making a conventional lease deal. I do not want to sell her.

Updated Sales list. All located at Above the Bar Sport Horses in Franklin, KY. 615-310-5190

CURRENT LIST:

❤️PARIS | L'ETOILE ❤️
9yr old, 16.2 big bodied Oldenburg mare. Currently showing in the low child/adult hunters and ready to move up. Big, slow, consistent step and gives a great feeling to the jumps. She is a blast to ride, honest, safe and brave with easy lead changes. Ready to step into the 3 foot soon with potential, scope and ability for more. Loves attention and to be fussed over. Easy enough for a kid / adult but quality enough for a pro to be competitive on during the week. Truly one of my favorite horses ever.

💕 LUCY | DIRTY DANCE ME SLOW 💕
9-year-old registered Quarter Horse mare standing 14.3 hands. Sweet, personable, and easy to handle with great ground manners. Going walk, trot, canter, started on small fences, and lead changes. Green with low mileage but brave, willing, and suitable for a capable rider looking for a fun project. Would be a great addition to lesson program / in house lease type after finishing touches. Barefoot, sound, and currently in a full program. Motivated seller seeking a great home. Low fives

✨ MILKSHAKE ✨
The ultimate beefcake 🥩! 2013, 16.3 hand, big-bodied Quarter Horse gelding. The definition of a confidence builder, happily packing everything from the short stirrup through the 2’6” with the same honest, dependable attitude every single ride. More leg than hand, but he will find another gear when you ask. Safe as the day is long. Whether it’s a timid adult getting back in the saddle or a kid moving up off a pony, he doesn’t care who is on his back. His job is getting you around, and he does it exceptionally well. Low/mid fives

💛 FLICKA 💛
7-year-old, 15h pinto mare with three balanced gaits, a lead change, and experience through .85m jumpers in Canada with a kid with much success. Comfortable, versatile, and easy to handle, she would make a great partner for local hunters, jumpers, eventing, or dressage. Sweet, quiet, and drama free, she loves trail rides and adapts well to new places. Low/mid fives.

💓 ROSIE 💓
2011, 15.3 hand Warmblood x mare. Has a great, comfortable canter and could very easily do First Level dressage with some tuning up. Takes leg but isn’t dull. I ride her in a small nub spur and a rubber Nathe bit. Responsive to the aids with a great “whoa.” You can put her together or ride her on a loose rein. Very cute mare that loves attention and is the type that quickly wants to become her humans best friend. Perfect choice for someone looking for a horse they can school dressage one day and trail ride the next, or simply flat around, bee bop over a few crossrails, and just enjoy. Honest, uncomplicated, and happy to have a job without needing to be in a program six days a week. Low fives

12yr old, 16.1 appendix gelding. Was jumping around 2’6” with a change before injury with plenty of scope for 3 foot. Solid Flatwork with a soft mouth and three nice gaits. Big stride and a super comfortable canter that you can sit all day. Could easily walk into a first level dressage test. Hunter/eq type that could go play in the jumpers as well. Cute, goofy personality and easy to have in the barn.

Has been given plenty of time to heal, proper follow ups from the vet and he is now back in full turnout (and has been for months) and under saddle flatting around 5 days a week, just started jumping and trail riding/hacking out. 100% Sound with no limitations.
