Beautiful grey 3 year old Andalusian filly looking for her new home. Aniya MEA is the first foal born at Mystic Spirit Andalusians in Nanoose Bay BC. She is registered with the International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association and is inscribed with the Spanish stud book ANCCE. Both her parents have been revised by this association. Dam is black Tephra H bred by Herradura Andalusians in Texas and sire is grey Abanico XVIII imported by Gerval Dressage in Quebec. In Spain Abanico achieved one of the highest designations, calificado, signifying excellence in all categories. Tephra comes from a long line of champions including her grandfather Gitano MOR. He can be seen on Herradura's website. Aniya is still growing and maturing and will likely reach at least 16 hh. She is bred for dressage but will also be suitable for western and English equitation. Someone who is knowledgable in natural horsemanship would be best.

Balou
3 year old 15h paint x gelding
Balou is extremly handsome fella that just floats when he moves, he lunges, ties, trailers and is extremly fast to catch onto new things
He has been saddled multiple times and couldn’t care less.
He’s super fun to work with, he is quite sensitive making it extremly easy to teach him.
No vices
Lower on the pecking order, has been out with my low on pecking order horses and bossy mates without any issues
He’s great for the farrier

Registered Grey roan thoroughbred, Sweet gentle, 7yrs, 16.1hh, safe, friendly, companion or gentle use mare needs a good home. Will consider offers but References required. She is NEVER mareish and would enjoy unridden therapy, light rider slow therapy or flat easy walk trot rides in the ring or trails and has front hoof boots. She is quiet and works nicely in the arena with other horses. Has been ridden in the pasture and ring at walk trot in bitless bridle and in English tack by a teen and myself. Stiff in her upper hind end after running around hard sometimes playing with the horses. No limping or swelling but gets stiff a couple days sometimes. Wouldn’t be reliable for regular fast work due to this so a home that sees her as a companion or light use mount is a must. Very good natured and calm to hang around with and likes attention a lot. An easy life where she is included in the fun in the ring even if just to watch would be great as she is super with other horses even if let loose in the ring. She was rescued a few years ago as a gentle companion to a pony that could follow on some easy trails with front boots. She has improved greatly but didn’t get to trail ride so far as we are getting out of horses to move away. She is not on any medication but salt is a must for her and also the herb yucca is excellent for arthritis and walking exercise is great for her if someone wants to help her further. Bute hurt her stomach so I am seeking a home that is into natural solutions. She is bottom of the herd usually so a nice companion that shares their feed is best. She likes eating with a horse and shares all feed nicely.

Ellesmere Farm offers half lease opportunities on five gorgeous, friendly, and loving horses.
You can choose your horse dependent on your experience and riding goals.
We have both English and western tack, a lit arena for evening rides, hundreds of acres of trails on and out the back door of our property, and you can even occasionally do a group ride to the beach !
Our stable is laid back, friendly and welcoming. If you have no horse experience you can still have a nice time doing ground work and forming a loving and calming relationship.
Are you an experienced gal that wants to include your less experienced partner ? We have the horses for that ! Polly and Sal make a great pair on the trails together and Sal has carried many a beginner rider. He's a nice big heavy set horse and could carry a heavy set male but has also done very well with smaller younger riders.

Bruno
3 year old mini colt
Bruno is extremly friendly, he’s halter broke and has been saddled and sat on by kids

Raya,
3 years old 14.1hh
Non registered pinto mare
Raya has successfully completed two months at the trainers going wtc western
She’s a month into being trained English as well so will be an amazing all round mount or could excel any direction you’d like to go!
She trailers, great for the farrier and spectacular thick hooves, ties, bathes and all round a very solid horse
Raya isn’t easily spooked, her general reaction when she’s startled or unsure is so stop making her a great kids horse in the making !
She’s higher on the pecking order but has been great with all the horses she’s been turned out with

Powder is a 15 hh American paint gelding born in 2008. He is registered with the APHA. He is the first at the gate to meet you and will follow you around as you work. He requires no maintenance and wears front Cavallo boots when out on trails. He tends to be top of the pecking order. He has experience on trails and has been used in western lesson programs. He can be anxious on trails especially when solo but no buck, bolt or rear. When he spooks, he does a quick spin then stands still. For this reason, he needs a confident rider which I am not.

*Deal if he goes with the sweet young companion mare.*
Slow walk trot with beginners and strong forward canter with experienced riders, gentle 16.2hh draft cross gelding 14yrs. Only for sale due to move. Prefers trails after years of schooling he seems bored and slows down without some variety in his life. Only fault is he likes his right lead at canter mostly as he is out of practice now and prefers to be slow in the ring so he came to me for trails as a husband horse. Qualicum Beach. Prefer a trail riding home not a lesson barn. Had done alot of arena time and is used to most tack and good to trailer and bathe. Very sweet and barefoot. Going bitless and treeless but can go back to any tack to be easier for beginners. He goes out alone nice but I would take him out with a horse first for new areas. He is brave in bush and good on roads. Beginner safe in the ring for walk trot. He used to jump but he’s slow to stay in canter for beginners. Trails are his passion. Stands still to tack, mount, groom.
Still looking for a companion home for the beautiful young tall grey mare too. She is the sweetest young friendly horse and makes a great companion to anyone gentle like herself as she is submissive. She might be able to do a bit of light flat walk trot riding and suits unridden therapy and enjoys the ring time spent with other horses around. Very gentle, used to kids and pets. No maintenance but has old injuries. 2k or offers

14hh 13y/o Morgan/X mare "TAXI" to be sold into capable and loving hands.
Suitable for confident experienced/coached youth or light adultTaxi is currently running in a commercial herd of 29 and we are unfortunately unable to give her the time and dedication she deserves.
A very smart mare, curious and quick thinker, Taxi will perform best as a 1-person horse, as she is very observant and needs time to warm up to "her" person. She does not take well to overly harsh or unfair treatment, but will also require someone with the experience to convince her of their leadership skills. Once she trusts you, she will be ready and willing to take on the world with you. Due to changes in business, Taxi has not been ridden in a little over a year. Before that, she was mainly a wrangler horse. She rides nicely if you can handle her energy and personality which is best suited to a confident rider.
Taxi went through a time of being handled rather harshly which is why she initially has some "stranger danger", but once she's gotten to know you, is well behaved. She could make an amazing horse for an experienced rider with ambitions in extensive/back country trail riding (she has that Morgan pep in her step) or Cowboy Challenge - she is curious and learns fast!
Someone having previous experience with starting/restarting horses or an intermediate rider working with a trainer could find a diamond in the rough with this one.
Taxi moves peacefully in our herd of 29, being confident around other horses but not excessively pushy.
Good with her feet (once she trusts you). UTD on farrier, vaccines and dewormer.
Can arrange for transport on Vancouver Island, including ports ON Vancouver Island.
Not desperate to sell - if she doesn't find the right home, we will keep her over winter as a project.

14.2 9y/o QH/X gelding "CHIEF" to be sold into capable and loving hands.
Chief is currently running in a commercial herd of 29 and we are unfortunately unable to give him the time and dedication he deserves.
He was gelded late and prior to that used in a breeding program (hence the fancy shape) but is very well behaved, if not somewhat wary around people. Due to changes in business, he has not been ridden in a little over a year. Before that, he was mainly a wrangler horse. He rides nicely if you can handle his energy and personality which is best suited to a confident and well-seasoned rider.
Chief went through a time of being handled rather harshly which is why he can be suspicious of humans at times. Despite all this, we have never seen him kick, strike or bite a person which speaks for his character. We believe that with patience and loving firmness, Chief could make an amazing working horse for an experienced rider, be it riding the range, working equitation or other pursuits that put both his body and mind to work.
Someone having previous experience with studs following a gentle but structured approach could find a diamond in the rough with this one.
Due to being gelded late, he can be dominant in a herd setting so should either be kept within large enough area with other horses and/or horses that aren't very submissive. In our large herd, he can order some of them around but never got into big fights.
Easy keeper.
Good with his feet. UTD on farrier, vaccines and dewormer.
Can arrange for transport on Vancouver Island, including ports ON Vancouver Island.
Not desperate to sell - if he doesn't find the right home, we will keep him over winter as a project.
