Painted Hills Ranch Sale Barn

On the wings of the morning they gather and fly,

In the hush of the night I hear them pass by,

The horses of memory thundering thru

With flashing white fetlocks all wet with dew.

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN  SISTER

by Maya Angelou

'A  woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say...  'I am a  Christian'  I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say...  'I am a  Christian'  I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say...  'I  am a Christian'  I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say..  'I  am a Christian'  I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say...  'I  am a Christian'  I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say...  'I am a Christian'  I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say...  'I  am a Christian'  I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner  Who received God's good grace, somehow!'
 

YOU'VE BOUGHT A NICE HORSE-LETS GET STARTED THE RIGHT WAY, EH?

(please read)

    *** PURCHASERS***- I charge $100.00 to haul a horse to the vet for you.

It is a 45 minute trip one way to the vet and 4 hours of my time away from the ranch.

If you prefer, you may set the appt up for a farm call with the vet at the time of scheduling.

the current cost of a farm call is $90.00 trip fee then his services are added on after that.

DOWN PAYMENTS on horses are to be no less than $500.00,

are refunded only if horse fails a prepurchase exam or gets hurt b-4 final pmt is made-

Please please call me if Down payments do NOT get put in the mail as you expected.

Silence is not in your best interest if you are a serious purchaser.

This is a business...the horses are for sale.

The equine sales industry has changed considerably due to the internet

and the ease of professional hauling door to door these days.

 I have been in business for quite a few years so

Many buyers (often returning clients) agree to purchase from me

after only a phone call and I have emailed them pictures.

Some require a video prior a purchase decision. But not always.

So equine sales can occur quite quickly-unlike the "old days"...

 so please keep these facts in mind

as you consider purchasing a horse via the internet.

The transaction can occur quite quickly

and the horse can be sold in the blink of an eye and you may be disappointed.

If you would like a better video than the short Utube clips that I post up, the cost is $75.00 and you tell me what you want to see in it-and I will do all of that and much, much more so that you can make a decision one way or the other on the horse you are considering purchasing from PHR or one of my clients. I want you comfortable and satisfied with the whole process, folks!

 Its hours and hours of work putting these videos together, folks, try it sometime!

My time doesn't come any free-er than your time does when you go to work- when you work-you get paid! so do I!

if further info or additional pictures are needed please direct correspondence to this email:

some truths worth considering:

1.) A handsome horse who's badly behaved will become a lot less attractive in about 15 min.

2.) The best way to appreciate how another person rides is to get on their horse.

3.) A more expensive horse doesn't make a better one.

4.) If you're looking for the perfect horse you will never own one.

5.) A solitary ride through the bush is more beneficial then six months with the best psychiatrist.

6.) Losing a horse can break your heart, but it will have been worth it.

7.) "If you can't imagine life without a horse... DON'T!"

Introducing a wonderful product that I have been testing on our critters here at the ranch!

These equine and dog supplements have out performed any product I have used to date!

The price is unbelievably affordable!

My 11 year old Rottie who has had a tuff life( we call her the dog with 9 lives!) has been on the jerky joint supplement for 6 months and she is trotting to the barn and playing with the young dog. b4 we put her on this joint supplement she was on her last leg and we were considering having her put to sleep she was in so much pain.

we tried 4 other products that she sorted and left in her food dish or we had to poke down her throat in pill form...even the beef flavored tablets she would spit out.

but not these yummy Sta-Sound jerky treats!

We even have our young 130lb rottie on them becuz he was having joint pain due to his massive size... he is pain free and now finally able to go out on trail rides with us!

My gelding Peebs was injured on a trail ride several years ago and has had joint and stifle pain and limitations ever since. But on Sta-Sound Equine Joint Supplement he is out bucking and playing in the field with the others! and I am able to request roll backs without fear of hurting him once again! He performs them smoothly and without the painful joint hitches n glitches he experienced prior this product!

I'm thrilled to be using these 2 products here at the ranch and am positive you will be pleased with their performance in your dogs and horses as well!

and a better price on joint supplement cannot be found anywhere with results such as this!

Changes in fees on Consignment horses:

Due to economic changes in the horse industry, Beginning 11/15/08 my equine consignment fees will change to the following:

If you would like to place your horse with me on consignment I will need to assess the soundness, rideability, training skills and marketability of your horse prior accepting the listing.

This initial assessment cost is $100.00 within a 25 mile radius of my ranch. mileage is charged after 25 miles @ the rate of $1.00 per mile with a $20.00 minimum.

***what to expect from the initial assessment analysis:

1) I will flexion all 4 legs and do a limited health exam to determine its soundness and health. I realize that I am not a licensed vet but I will not list a horse for sale that I personally do not feel is sound for riding. If the horse is found to have issues they will be advertized if you choose to list with me.

2) I will ground work your horse to determine level of respect pleasantness of attitude and then I will watch you ride your horse while I take notations, then I will ride your horse to determine rideability, energy level at all 3 gaites, accessible cues and training and to determine if the horse is safe for prospects arriving for showings, as well as what level of rider the ads for your horse will target.

3) I will take pictures and do a complete write up on my findings and write my ads according to my notes, as well as request a detailed description of your horses history, riding experiences, habits, training b4 your ownership, and health records... and anything else you can think of to tell me about your horse. If I have additional questions after reading your description I will call you for details.

If you then choose to list your horse with me I will then charge you a start-up fee of $100.00 for 6 hours of my time spent in marketing your horse~payable in advance. This fee does not include additional needed riding time in order to prepare your horse for client showings. Riding time is charged @ $25.00 per ride. You will need to bring your horse to me. If you cannot ride your own horse for a showing and it is necessary for me to ride for you~there is a ride fee. If the client requests that I ride the horse~there is a fee~ now....as to who pays for it~ thats between you and your buyer and will need to be settled between the 2 of you.

The 6 hours will be spent in many of the following ways:

Taking suitable pictures to use in advertizing on my website and other sites such as Dreamhorse and BAEN, email and phone time spent marketing your horse to potential buyers, or negotiating the sale to prospects in order to get a showing set up, or riding your horse for 10-15 minutes the day of the showing to determine rider safety on that day, also my assistance in the finalizing of the sale and all its details with the vet and shipping and such.

A video may become necessary to market your horse long distance~ if so~ video fees are a minimum of $75.00 the video belongs to you even if you choose to discontinue using my assistance in marketing your horse.

I will provide you with an invoice of the hours I have put in to market your horse each month, so you know where my time has been spent with your $100.00.

 You will be provided with the names and phone numbers of all potential buyers and interested parties that have contacted me with interest on the purchase of your horse.

When that first $100.00 is gone~ the next $100.00 is due if you wish me to continue my efforts marketing your horse. If not~ we are square. You are free to continue your efforts to sell your horse on your own with the base that I have provided you to that point. Your ads and all prospects are yours, I will remove your listing from my website so as my clientel doesn't request information from me which would result in billable time to you. I will also change the contact information on all outside ads I have placed until you notify me you have placed your own ads. At that time I will delete my ads and finalize your billing and email it to you for immediate pmt. Then then you are free to negotiate your sale from there with no additional fees due to me~as long as your account is current.

 If at a later date you decide You need a little extra assistance I will be available to you!  Or if you decide that your horse needs training and trail time then the charge for that service is $150.00 per week. You provide feed so there is no risk of colic during the short time your horse is here at the ranch.

When I succeed in placing your horse in a new home.

There is no commission due at the end of the sale.

Any misc. final fees due will be settled on a pay as you go basis and payable in full on the date the buyer pays their final installment on your horse.

I may decide to accept horses on a consignment basis but that will be decided on an individual basis after my assessment has been completed. consignment fee is 20% of final sales price or $300.00~ whichever is greater.

If I decide to take your horse on a consignment basis and you sell your horse separate from my efforts then you will owe 10% of your sales price back to me in order to compensate me for my hours marketing your horse.

SIERRA

4 yr old. mustang/qh/pony filly 13.3h

(I know the picture is blurry but it was all I had to show her magnificent natural stride)

Sierra is one of the best students I have had in the barn for a long time! She is an absolute joy to work with and to ride! She takes everything in stride and is an excellent student! This little mare takes in training like a sponge! She is a lightening fast learner! Bold and fearless. Naturally inquisitive. Rides out alone. Is working on riding in groups and doing quite well! The girl riding her has only been taking lessons for a short time with me and Sierra has only been with me not quite a month and she accepted a new rider beautifully and was completely responsive to Katherines' inexperienced hands and seat. I strongly feel she would excellent dressage and pony club since she has a HUGE HUGE stride and lovely natural headset when working. She is quiet and relaxed and well adjusted no matter where she is and what is going on. This ones got a real level head.

I started her in a side pull. but the owner has put a bit in her mouth so she will carry one for a rider/trainer who desires to use one- such as in dressage etc.

She needs a young person to take her to the top of whatever it is they choose to excel in. This mare will take you there! There is no limit to what this mare will do. She has the mind and heart for it all! 

(She is terrific on trails! fearless! and a ground eating walk!)

Her dam is boarded here and is one of the quietest, nicest, calmest mares I have ever met... she takes everything in stride and doesn't get worked up.... she gave that to her filly....even tho her filly is so much MORE than her mama due to her boldness and forward mindedness! Sierra wants to go out and discover the world....but her mama is content just takin her time...)

Sierras training to date consists of:

ponies well, side passes from the ground, away and back towards the handler fluidly, hip yields, flexions. lunges, ties, loads, bathes, clips, all the good stuff.

saddle training: been on trails in groups large and small, does well.

arena training,  coming along  and is soft in bridle, rolls over hips for a turn around. crosses over nicely in front. side passes both directions. backs with hips well placed under her. excellent whoa. flexions side to side and vertically. will side pass to the mounting block fluidly when asked.

we have done no work with rider at the lope yet since I am 6ft tall and she is small and NARROW and quick... dynamics are not good for me. I will locate a smaller rider/trainer to begin this next level of her training.

Be advised that her price will indicate the advancement to the next level.

you wont be disappointed!

PI's credentials are as follows:

purchased out of Utah by Amanda Parker in 2003 as a broke showmare. but with no gaming experience

 Amanda showed her in 4-h, showmanship, english, western and trail classes until 2005 when she began training for barrels and began running in OHSET. as an OHSET horse she did team penning, reining, and won combination all around in OHSET, she won champion zone 1 in barrel racing, won a belt buckle and has earned $500.00 to put her out of the novice for BTM races.

Kayla bought PI in 2008 and immediately began running PI in BRN races in Canby Oregon, her times started out in the 18's  as a new team. Kayla has won approx $200.00 on PI. Kayla also competed in NW Classic shows and ran figure 8: times were 11:1 and 11:2 seconds.

Deja began using PI for as her OHSET horse in 2009, barrel times dropped to 15;5 and 15.7 at the salem fairgrounds and seem to stay consistent, In good ground the mare is currently running high 14's and low 15's.

Deja qualified for State in central point came in 14 out of 60 competitors.  she ran a 11.7 in figure 8 that same weekend.

Deja has also used PI in drill team and and penning at the district meets.

 she competed at Linn County Fairgrounds in July 09 and ran 2 times of 15.5 and 16.1 and she won all around high point in gaming for that show.

Also in July Deja ran PI at a 4-D race and ran an 18 in the long barrel pattern.

Pi is a solid all around mare. She is currently ridden up and ready for her new owner to take over. she is not a complicated mare in any way and could easily go back to 4-h type competition due to her quiet nature and previous experience. This is not a hot gaming mare.

I have alot of video on Pi that i havenot had time to post to UTube or even get onto a CD. but its coming! :-)

PRICE REDUCED!!! her owner is now asking: $4,500.00

CONGRATULATIONS HEATHER SCOTT FROM LAPINE OREGON!

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO RIDING WITH YOU N DOC THIS SUMMER!

(TO MY REGULAR PHR BROWSERS......THE REASON NONE OF YOU SAW DOC ON MY WEBSITE IS BECUZ I CHOSE NOT TO OFFER HIM FOR SALE TO THE OPEN MARKET WHEN HE CAME IN ON CONSIGNMENT.... I WANTED HEATHER TO MEET HIM FIRST SINCE SHE IS PART OF MY REGULAR RIDING GROUP AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE A GOOD MATCH! AND SHE LIKED HIM SO PURCHASED HIM! )

My specialty is Family-safe trail horses.

I do NOT buy fixer-uppers

cuz "the fix" never sticks

and I don't want unhappy buyers!

Nor would I intentionally put anyone at risk

by hiding a potentially dangerous habit

in which the horse was sold for in the first place!

Thats just plain ol' BAD BUSINESS

and a cheap shot in order to make a buck!

It's not me nor what I am "all about"

There's too many good horses for sale out there

without having to "sucker-punch" someone with a bad one.

I do not buy from auctions!

I choose horses that are naturally unflappable,

kind and patient, and have a soft eye,

willing attitude and good work ethic.

Breed, training and age come secondary to Disposition!

Over the years I have found that 

the horses with the most training

aren't always the best choices for beginners,

since the inconsistencies and mistakes made by beginners

can irritate a finished horse

that has been made accountable thru rigorous training.

These horses often desire a skilled rider.

Their training makes them "quik minded"

therefore they can quickly develop intimidating habits

to"get rid" of their new irritating rider

in order to get a better one.

I prefer the plunk along "good ol' boy" types

with tons of tolerance.

People can really have fun on them~and learn alot!

and that's what the equine experience is all about!

Its not like "the good ol' days" when

most folks buying horses come from a family ranch

and have a working knowledge of horses....

More and more families are getting into horses

as a form of a family sport and hobby~

not knowing a darned thing about horses~

driven only by a fascination for horses

and a love for the great outdoors~

they have a TON to learn and it is my hope

to assist them to learn as safely as possible

and on the right kind of horses.

Even tho I know they will fall off, get stepped on,

get run into when a bird flies up at the wrong time,

or possibly get bucked off on a windy day

~and all sorts of other weird accidents~

that will befall them as part of the learning experience

(I know I've sure had all of the above and more!)

Having the right kind of horse

can sure limit the number and severity of the accidents!

All horses must meet my criteria, and pass my "tests" 

b-4 I will offer them for sale thru my Ranch.

The most important 2 being:

They must be of the unflappable nature and tolerant.

I do my very best to accurately represent each horse,

answer buyer questions truthfully

and if I don't know....

I am willing to go "test" the horse and get back to you!

If they have an existing habit~

you will know about it if it shows up here!

But please remember: that horses often relate differently

in each new environment and with each person.

Buyers are expected to be responsible adults

 and accept the risks and variables that horses often bring

into the equine experience.

They are "emotional beings" with thoughts of their own

and that's why the whole idea thrills and attracts

all of us "horse nutty folk" in the first place!

 You must expect the unexpected with horses~

I don't do "trials"

since I have been stung repeatedly by having done so.

But if you get the horse home

and within the first 2 weeks its

obvious that a mismatch in personalities has occurred

I will gladly accept the horse back in trade for another

as long as the horse is not harmed in any way~

and I reserve the absolute right to make that determination!

It is buyers responsibility:

 to get the horse back here in a timely fashion

and during "sale season", or my ability to place the horse

becomes slim and I will not be able to accomodate you.

I charge a flat $500.00 fee to provide this service

so you can move on

and get one that will make you happy

b-4 riding season is over!

I work hard to properly place the horse the first time

 since this is such an emotionally traumatic process

for the horses....

I dislike mistakes for their sakes (as well as yours)

Buyers will have the previous owners information

if the owner is offering it. (Most do)

and opportunity to speak with them

prior final decision to purchase.

I do not make soundness guarantees.

However, I personally do a health exam

and timed flexions on all 4 legs

prior their arrival on my ranch.

I certainly would not want to be surprized

by a horse failing a pre-purchase exam-

~Lame horses don't sell~

~so I don't want to be stuck with one~ 

~And since I am not a vet~

buyers are welcome to have a prepurchase exam

performed by a licensed veterinarian

in order to be sure in their own mind.

The cost ranges from $125.00 to $175.00

California buyers must have a Coggins/health certificate

cost is:$45.00

My standard hauling fee to the vet is: $75.00

or you may request a farm call at the time the vet appt is schedled.

I have the best Vet in the valley:

Linn Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Ben Braat.

 I would be happy to set up the apt for you~

or can suggest several vets in the area to assist you.

You will need to provide the Vet with a credit card for direct billing.

California buyers please keep in mind

that Oregon horses are often out on pasture

and not used the richer hays (alfalfa, oat, wheat etc.)

that are so available in California.

feeding Oregon horses these types of hay can make them sick.

So be prepared before your horse comes home

by purchasing suitable lower protein grass hay such as:

meadow grass or pasture blend grass hay

with a protein content of less than 10%

Here are several

Central California grass hay growers

that might be able to assist you:

Crump Ranch
major horse hay grower in SE Oregon

and ship to Contra Costa County, & northern/central California.

Our speciality is grass hay (meadow, orchard, timothy, blends).

I certainly hope that buying a horse from me

is a positive experience~

  I hope to gain your trust and respect

as well as a referral or two

that will promote my business!

Thanks for Lookin'...

Be sure to check back often!

The faces change each month!

Happy Trails to you my friends!
