"It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little you most often lose everything because the horse you bought was incapable of doing what the horse was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it cannot be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add a considerable amount for the risk you run ... and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better - that you should have bought in the first place."

JOHN RUSKIN, BRITISH ESSAYIST AND CRITIC (1819)

Can't find exactly what you are looking for?

Those on our list are notified before we advertise "for sale" horses to the public.

Atigrado Acres offers a unique program: Create your own Spanish Jennet – Walkaloosa horse or Gaited Mule foal! Interested in a particular mare bred to a certain Stallion or our Jack?  We will consider custom breeding requests. We offer you the opportunity to custom create your own foal with the Atigrado Acres stallion and mare of your own choice. The client chooses the mare - stallion combination of their choice. You may select one of our carefully chosen, well gaited mares, then choose any of our stallions or our Mammoth Jack.  After making the choice on the match, the buyer signs the contract and makes a 20% deposit on the baby, who is yet unborn. The balance to be paid in installments, paid in full 30 days prior to the birth of the foal. This comes with a live foal guarantee- if the mare doesn't deliver a live foal who can stand and nurse, the breeding is repeated. Details on mare care and foal care costs same as In-Utero Purchase. ( See below) We will handle EVERYTHING else. After weaning, you pick up your custom-made horse -- guaranteed to lead, tie, bathe and load quietly... Please contact us for more info.

You no longer have to buy a quality broodmare, pay the board and upkeep on her, get her bred, deal with the pregnancy and the foaling, and spend countless hours working with a new foal. We offer you a wonderful alternative. When you purchase the unborn offspring of one of our quality mares, we handle all the vet checks, maintain the mare, administer all the vaccinations, spend the countless hours of "foal watch," attend the foaling, imprint the foal, handle the daily training and the weaning of the foal. Atigrado Acres will provide proper care for the mare and give her optimal guidance with the birthing process. The mare receives wonderful, regular care and Atigrado Acres gives periodic updates to the buyer on her progress. Our mares are well fed and receive regular vet, dental, and farrier care. The buyer is more than welcome to come and visit the mare at any reasonable time. We will contact the buyer when the foal arrives. The buyer can either come in person to see the foal or we will email photos and video. After the birth, the foal will remain at Atigrado Acres for three to five months, until weaned. During this period mother and foal will receive expert care and also take part in the training program at Atigrado Acres. We will handle EVERYTHING else. After weaning, you pick up your foal -- guaranteed to lead, tie, bathe and load quietly...

Atigrado Acres boards the mare, foals the mare and is responsible for all prenatal and postnatal care. Once it has been determined that the Live Foal Guarantee has been fulfilled the buyer becomes responsible for the foal's costs, Board for mare and foal is at no cost to the buyer. Atigrado Acres will do everything in its power to ensure the foal's safety before it is weaned, but Mortality Insurance is recommended. Care and training until the foal is weaned, and 10 days there after is included in the In-Utero Purchase price. Costs the buyer is responsible for: are all foal Veterinary costs, including vaccinations and de-worming, Farrier costs. Post weanling, the buyer will pay for board, feed and care if the foal is not picked up or shipped within 10 days of weaning.
Cost involved in the registration of the foal at no cost to the buyer. You may name the foal anything you like, with the AA suffix required at the end of the name.
Not included are the costs of Mortality Insurance on the foal, and the cost of the transportation from Atigrado Acres to your home, which you will be responsible for arranging for & paying for. 
If you would like to pre-purchase a foal from a particular mare, we will accept a $500 deposit to secure the foal at the special in-utero price. No guarantee on the sex or color of the foal will be made. If the mare should miscarry, the live foal guarantee means the mare is re-bred for a foal next year or you may transfer any payments towards the purchase of the horse or foal of your choice.
Please contact us for more info.
Atigrado Acres also offers the option of “foal kindergarten” and those foals who we sell receive a lower rate for training/board then outside horses.  We strive very hard to work with the buyer. We will not breed, raise or sell any horse we would not want for ourselves. 

We no longer choose to register our horses with PFHA, have not done so for several years. Therefore the horses will not have PFHA papers. In most instances they will be eligible for registration or are registered with the The North American Single-Footing Horse Association.

These horses are top of the line in quality for gait, presence, brains and endurance. Some of the top lines for the Show Ring are in these horses, selected over years of breeding. Often times they are 4th, 5th or 6th generation born on my farm where I have owned all the dams and usually the sires. They will in most instances have an EXCELLENT Largo, we have always bred for lines that were capable of speed while not sacrificing gait. 

We are phasing out this portion of our breeding program, as we have moved to breeding the Spanish Jennet horse and will no longer be making these crosses. MOST of the Gray's offered were bred to facilitate producing a breeding animal for our own broodmare or stallion use. However we cannot use a Gray in the program, so when the genetic dice roll gave us one, you have the opportunity to purchase a top quality animal that otherwise would not be for sale. Other non-gray's available are ones that for what ever reason we do not need in the breeding program.

Since 2006, we have only used our Gray Broodmares in our Gaited Mule program.
