Additional Comments
Tequila is a 14-year-old Chestnut Haflinger mare standing at 12.3 hands. She's an absolute doll, and would be ideal for a child learning to ride or someone who's vertically challenged, and seeking a nice, safe horse that's easy to get on and off. She's solid and built like a brick house, and can carry riders up to 185 lbs. By definition, a Haflinger is a draft pony, so they are able to accommodate heavier riders than the average equine at a comparable height.... (read more)
I have owned Tequila for more than a year. She has been taking kids ages 6 and up and adults out on our trails to enjoy wooded scenery, creek crossings, and rolling hills. She can be ridden with a saddle or without. She has a great back for riding bareback. Watch the video on Dead Broke Farm's website as one of our guides easily sits to her canter while riding her bareback. She has a nice, slow and smooth jog too. We also use her for our summer camp program, birthday parties, and pony rides. She's easy going in the pasture with her pasture mates, and she's an easy keeper. (She gets only 1/2 scoop of grain twice a day and free choice grass hay - fescue and coastal.)
Tequila loves people and attention. She comes to greet you in the pasture; you don't have to 'catch' her. You and your farrier will appreciate how easy it is to care for her feet. She literally GIVES you all 4 feet when asked. You'll have no problem bathing her, loading and unloading her in a horse trailer, or spraying her for flies either. Watch the video on Dead Broke Farm's website as she is loaded and unloaded in just 21 seconds! This little mare rides so quiet, you can just hop on her, and ride her bareback around the farm. She's just a real pleasant horse to have around. This sweet Haflinger would be a great addition to your family.
People always ask why we're selling our horses. There's nothing wrong with them. Quite the contrary. They're for sale because it's part of our business model: we buy, train, put lots of trail hours on them, and make them safe for beginners, and eventually we sell them at a profit to compensate us for all the training and trail hours we have put on them. We don't have to speculate as to what age or riding level a rider needs to be at in order to ride them. We KNOW because they've done it many times over. If we say a 6 year-old child with no riding experience can ride the horse, then they can - and have. And if we say we wouldn't put anyone younger than an inexperienced 10 year-old, then you shouldn't consider the horse for your 5 year-old to ride on their own. All our horses sell as sound with no vices. To see all of our horses for sale, schedule time to come see them at Dead Broke Farm. Prices listed are firm.

For anyone buying their first horse, we also sell new and used saddles, bridles, saddle pads, as well as new winter blankets, halters, lead ropes, and horn bags. The big advantage to buying these items when you buy the horse is that we will fit everything for you, so it takes the guess work out of sizing and fitting of saddles, bridles, and winter blankets. Then you can feel confident that the horse will perform the same at home as it did at our farm.
