Location: Nevada | Hi
I'm trying to find a barrel/pole horse for my 12 year old niece. Gender of the horse doesn't matter, I would like it to be anywhere from 5-10 years old. We're willing to pay up to 10,000 for one if it's a nice all around horse. If we can rope and tie goats off the horse that's great, but if not, then I would prefer it runs barrels and poles.
If anyone knows of any located close to Nevada (not a must), could you please let me know?
Thank you! |

Location: Oklahoma | I'm just getting ready to list one for a friend. He's 7, dapple gray, grandson of Bugs Alive in 75 and Tiny Charger. He has AQHA points in poles and runs barrels pretty tough. He also does breakaway. Very nice to be around no gate or arena problems. I will run him this weekend to get a documented time. They only want $6500. I think he's underpriced. I've had him about a week and can't find any holes. I've got pics but no video yet. |

Location: Kentucky | Located in western KY, south east of Owensboro (which is near the ky/in border) Really nice mare. The rider that earned points on her has only been riding for a few years and did really well on her. She ended up with an absess in a back foot. That's all healed up. The current owner (also raised the mare) is having her vet checked and xrayed this week so she will be ready to sell immediately. |

Location: on airplane in some other country | i have a finished barrel and pole horse bred and trained by wpra june holeman. he is a 1997 gorgeous stocky sorrel gelding. he is a very powerful runner and aggressive turner he would not be for the beginner. he works best with someone who is one step ahead of him who is very quiet handed. he has won money in the futurities, jackpots and open rodeos. things do not bother him at all. no bad habits. he is definately a 1D horse with the right rider in the tough texas competition. he is a bit more than $10,000. i also know of another horse running both barrels and poles. quiet, naturally ratey very honest. sorrel gelding. i believe 8 years old. these horses are near each other in ft. worth texas. let me know if interested. thanks |

Location: Mississippi | I have a horse that would be very competitive in High School Rodeo. She does every event. Ziggy is a beautiful buckskin mare.
She is a great all around horse. You can compete on her in breakaway roping, calf roping, team roping (head or heel), poles, goat tying, and barrel racing.
She went to the High School National Finals Rodeo in breakaway roping and was being hauled to college rodeos in the Southwest region as a breakaway horse and a backup barrel horse. If interested email [email protected]. I have pics also.
