Meet Your New Equine Partner
We aren't a typical consignment or sales barn.
If we list a horse for sale, it has been throughly trained by us.
We know each horse intimately.
We know what that horse enjoys and excels at doing, and we know what they aren't so good at, or just don't like doing, which helps us ensure they find the perfect partner where everyone will be set up for success.
Plus, every horse we sell comes with the
De Frates Horsemanship Good Manners Guarantee.
You can count on your new equine partner to have great ground manners, and if anything undesirable happens in your first year of ownership, we'll give you a free 1 hour virtual lesson to help get you back on the right path.
Sampson
2021 Bay Andalusian Cross Gelding
Meet Sampson. This stunning 2021 Andalusian Cross Gelding is ready to be your best friend and future performance horse. Sampson has great confirmation with straight legs, beautiful movement, and is the spitting image of his sire, the gorgeous and extremely talented, Hermoso SI PRE, who is currently showing 3rd level Dressage. Sampson’s mother is Spellbounds Touch, a Foundation Bred Appaloosa who stamps all her foals with her laid back personality and size. Sampson was bred for performance; just watch him move and you’ll see his potential. The first time we asked him to jump something he did so with near perfect form! Currently standing at 15.3 H, we expect Sampson to mature to 16 - 16.1H and see him excelling in a dressage, jumping, cross-country or eventing home.
Always professionally handled, Sampson has wonderful ground manners and is ready to grow in your program. He halters, leads, ties, bathes and sprays, loves to be groomed, is great for the farrier and vet, takes tube wormers easily, and loads in the trailer like a dream. Sampson has been exposed to all sorts of novel things like bouncy balls, tarps, leaf blowers, flags, and bubble guns just to name a few. He has been saddled, bridled, fully sacked out, ground driven extensively, ponied around, and taught to stop and look at whatever might be spooking him. He is in full time training with a dozen rides under his belt at the time of this posting and training will continue until sold.
Tack him up, send him loose in the arena, and go stand on the mounting block and watch Sampson come running over to pick you up! Sampson lives on a ranch with all sorts of livestock including water buffalo, pigs, peacocks, donkeys, alpacas, goats, and sheep. Sampson is super friendly, very sweet, cautious but curious, laid back and very trusting. He has a great work ethic and will go for days!
Up to date with deworming, vaccinations, teeth and trims. Pre-purchase exams welcomed at buyers expense. Sellers can help arrange transportation, again at buyers expense. See more photos and videos of Sampson.
Aslan

Meet Aslan. This 2yo AQHA champagne gelding is ready to find his person and get you noticed as your future performance horse. Aslan has straight legs, correct conformation and beautiful movement. Oh, did we mention he is FLASHY. Sired by RSJ A Zipping Legend out of WR Handle Playboy, this boy was bred to move.
​
Check out his pedigree. Always professionally handled, Aslan has wonderful ground manners and is ready to grow with his new person. He halters, leads, ties, bathes and sprays, ground ties to be groomed, is great for the farrier and vet, and loads in the trailer calmly. Aslan has been round penned and exposed to all sorts of novel things like bouncy balls, tarps, leaf blowers, flags, and bubble guns just to name a few. He will wear a saddle with pride and has been ground driven in a halter. He has more go than woah and is very agile. We see him excelling at ghymkana and barrel racing. Aslan lives on a ranch with all sorts of animals including water buffalo, pigs, peacocks, donkeys, alpacas, goats, and sheep. Spend the spring getting to know this sweet guy and start him your way in the summer without a problem. Youngsters from our program are known for being extremely easy to start, almost as if they were born broke.

While it is so bittersweet to watch them leave, we couldn't be happier for these wonderful horses who found their forever homes.
