Riding Horses for Sale
Dakota Casanova
Dakota Casanova, aka Nova, is a beautiful 4-year-old, 15.1hh registered smokey grullo gelding. If you’re looking for a wonderful young prospect that is going to turn heads no matter where you go, Nova is your guy. He has it all! He has a great personality. Nova is easy to handle and be around. He loves people and attention. Nova is intelligent, eager to learn new things and retains what he is taught. He’s athletic with great movement, hard stops, easy turn arounds and spins. He has smooth transitions, from walk, trot, and canter, knows his leads and has excellent lead departures. He is soft in the face, bridles up and moves off leg pressure.
Nova’s confirmation is outstanding. He is put together the way a horse should be with substantial bone and foot. And all of that is wrapped up in a color that is stunning!
When Nova came to us in April of his 3-year-old year, he was unstarted. All his education has been done by Terry, who has almost 30 years of experience starting colts and training horses. So, you can be assured that he has been in good hands and brought along correctly. Nova has been trail ridden in a wide variety of terrain by himself and with other horses. He goes where you point him and handles everything with ease. He is traffic and farm machinery safe. We have used him to check cows and sort calves. He has also been tracking and roping the dummy. He goes through the obstacle course; across the tarps and the teeter totter, opens and closes gates. He stands for the farrier, ties, cross ties, hobbles, high ties, bathes, clips and loads in the trailer.
If you’re looking for a partner to trail ride, a great rope prospect or ranch versatility horse, Nova’s got what you need.
Give us a call, 563-212-4686. Terry and Kate will be happy to visit with you and answer any questions.
Nova will be available for purchase at the Five Star Select Gelding Sale May 21, 2022 in Des Moines, IA. Please visit their website for more event information. Five Star Horse Sale | Schmitt Horse Ranch

Poco Blackburn Rey
Poco Blackburn Rey, affectionately named by our 3-year-old daughter as Ronald, is a stunning 6-year-old 15.2hh registered Palomino gelding. Ronald is by far the barn favorite. Everyone that handles, rides, and spends time with him, absolutely loves him.
I can’t say enough about his personality. Whether you are looking for a horse to do a day’s work, compete in the arena, go for a leisurely ride down the trail or spend time pampering your equine partner, Ronald has the experience, training, ability, and personality to take care of you.
Ronald was started as a 2-year-old. He was given a solid foundation and brought along slowly. He has day worked in Arkansas and Iowa, moving, and sorting cattle and dragging calves. Ronald has also been used to halter train and start colts and pony horses down the trail. We have also tracked and roped the dummy in the arena. Ronald is extremely easy to ride. He one hand neck reins and moves off leg pressure. He is traffic and farm machinery safe. Ronald has smooth and easy transitions from walk, trot, and canter. He knows his leads and has a very nice lead departure. He stands great for the farrier, ties, cross ties, highline ties, hobbles, clips, loves to be bathed and loads himself. Ronald is also the first to meet you at the gate when out in the pasture.
If you have any questions or would like to visit about Ronald, please call Terry and Kate at 563-212-4686.
