Shiredale Horses Sold
Bucky is now proudly owned by Cielo Celeste Farm in Santa Ynez, CA!

Congratulations Desert Jewel Gypsy Horses on the purchase of Bucky!

Bucky I got from Jen and ended up selling him back as I wanted a good
Gypsy filly that I can take to shows/local events and I just don't trust
stallions in those performances and I can't have a herd of a million horses
so some had to go.  He is one phenomenal boy and will be sorely missed!
Congratulations Desert Jewel Gypsy Horses on the purchase of Johnny!

My first Gypsy Horse and what a love he is, but I just don't have enough
time to keep them all and I want to focus more on community events and
local shows and can't do that with a stallion.  He will be sorely missed!
Congratulations Jodi Frost on the purchase of D'Artagnan!

My first Shire/foal born at Shiredale Farm.  I sold him in September of 2007
as I am retaining his grandmother, mother and 1/2 sister as broodmares so
wasn't much of a use in my program for him.  He was such a love and have
so many fond memories.  He will be hugely cherished in his new home
though so wish Jodi and D'Artagnan all the best!
Congrats to the Holden Family on the purchase of Rosie!

Rosie
2006 Bay Shire Filly
Dam:Hillcrest Judy
Sire: Caerberllan Magnum
Rosie is a VERY sweet easy going filly that will make someone a
phenomenal friend, riding buddy, trail pony, etc.  She just LOVES to
be with people and is sweet as can be!  I just don't have the time to
give her all the attention she craves and so would love to see her go
somewhere that will spend tons of time with her and just love her!  
She would do well at the shows too!  
Emily, 1997 Black Clydesdale Mare, 18 hands
Congrats to Joni Fitts and Joni Fitts School of Horsemanship on their
purchase of Emily.  It is the ultimate home for the big girl and will teach
students the gentleness of the Draft Horses.  Congrats Joni!
Desert Jewel Draft Horses for sale
CJ
2002 17.3h Black Percheron Stallion
CJ is a 2002 17.3h Black Percheron Stallion that was purchased in 2007 from a
family friend's estate.  CJ came to live at Desert Jewel with 2 Thoroughbred mares
that were specifically purchased for breeding.  Not one to disappoint, CJ covered
both mare and the resulting foals are incredible.  Over the last 2 years, he has
produced 3 fillies and 1 colt, and they are exquisite!  

CJ has done a wonderful job under saddle.  He rides both English and Western and
does well in a costume.  He loves to be loved on by the people of all ages and is
truly one of a kind.  Big, sweet, and gentle, with excellent conformation and a sound
mind, able to breed and work without the typical mischievous tendencies of most
stallions his age!  He would do great in a program where he can be shown to his
fullest potential.  I could easily see this big boy as part of a Medieval Riding
Program or show!  Who knows...maybe he has a future in Hollywood!
Price: 4,500.

Avalon's Limited Edition (Edie)
2006 Bay Shire Mare
Dam: Cold Acres Crystal (17.2h)
Sire: Metheringham Upton Issac (19.1h)
Edie is a young up and coming Shire mare that will excel in whatever path you
chose for her!  She has a very animated trot that could steer her either
towards hitch work or pleasure riding/driving.  She currently stands 17.1
hands as a coming 3 year old so she is a good size mare!  Edie is very sweet
and loves people and also loves to please!  She is a very interesting bay color
but has lots of sabino flecks throughout her coat.  She will be bred to Desert
Jewel's Gypsy stallion, Flash of Gold, for a 2011 Drum baby.  The baby
should be absolutely spectacular and get a great mare on top of that, you have
got yourself quite the start of a small Shire herd!
Price: 6,000
2005 Bay Shire Mare
Dam: Frosty (Shire mare)
Sire: Powerful Paul
*** In foal to Gronant Joseph for a March 24th 2010 Shire foal***
Amira is one of the few Powerful Paul offspring around and she is such a
beautiful Shire!  Amira is a tall, elegant, easy to work with Shire Mare.  She
has been well started and will excel in the pleasure riding/driving arenas.  She
has been started under saddle and is green but is very sound and sane and will
be a best friend for someone!  Amira loves to be around people and is
another one that loves to be hosed off.  She is current on all vaccines,
wormers, and trimming and she stands great for farrier, bathing, grooming,
etc.  Amira is currently being bred to Desert Jewel's Shire Stallion, Gronauts
Sir Joseph for a 2010 foal.  This is bound to be another spectacular foal out
of two spectacular Shires.  Don't delay as crossing lines such as Walton
Supreme (Joey's sire, a Super Premium in England) and Powerful Paul,
probably the most known bay Shire stallion in the US, this foal will be worth
it's mom's price and then some!
Price: 8,000
Desert Jewel Daisy
2006 Bright Bay Shire Mare
Dam: Fox Valley Iced Coffee (Desert Jewel Java)
Sire: Powerful Paul
***In foal to Gronant Joseph for a April 17th 2010 Shire foal***
Daisy is another one of the few Powerful Paul offspring around and she is a
gorgeous Shire.  Daisy is already taller than her 1/2 sister Amira, so she looks
to hit the high 17's when she is done growing.  She is a very pretty Shire that
has everything in the right places.  She is pretty hitchy, so would do well in
the hitch arena or the pleasure riding/driving arena.  She has always been one
of the most admired "big girls" at Desert Jewel and for all the right reasons.  
Beautifully put together, very sweet and friendly, loves to be bathed, stands
good for the farrier, what more could you want in a young Shire?  Daisy will
be bred soon to Desert Jewel's Shire Stallion, Gronauts Sir Joseph for a 2010
foal.  This is bound to be another spectacular foal out of two spectacular
Shires.  Don't delay as crossing lines such as Walton Supreme (Joey's sire, a
Super Premium in England) and Powerful Paul, probably the most known
bay Shire stallion in the US, this foal will be worth it's mom's price and then
some!

Image Setter Sparky
2009 Black and White Gypsy Colt
Dam: Image Setter Fancy (BFSGH Bonnie x BFSGH Rom Baro)
Sire: West River Nobby (sired by the one and only Lottery Horse)
For all of those that have admired Rom Baro over the years, THIS is the
colt you must have if you want a horse like Rom Baro.  He is almost
identically marked to his grand sire Rom Baro and already has impressive
amount of hair!  Rom Baro only sired 4 foals while in the US, of those 1
was a Drum Horse (Maddie's daughter Harper), 1 was a colt and two were
fillies.  Fancy is one of those fillies which makes the Rom Baro line very
limited, so this is the best shot at getting an offspring by him and the added
benefit of having Lottery Horse in his bloodlines too!  This is definitely
going to be really classy stallion or show prospect and as said before is the
image of his grand sire!  Sparky is definitely one not to be missed!!!
Price: 12,000.

Flint
2010 Chesnut Gypsy Colt        
Dam: Tumbled Dinah (daughter of Clononeen Tumbleweed) (15h)
Sire: Desert Jewel Lenny (14.1)
Flint is a SUPERB Chesnut colt that is Dinah's first foal and she did not
disappoint at all!  Flint is built like a tank already at less than 2 weeks old!  
He's got one of the smallest, cutest heads I've ever seen on a Gypsy, nice
upright neck, great shoulder, amazing bone and feather for his age, short
back and nice butt.  He's got a blaze and two hind socks.  Doesn't get
much better than him, he is going to have the body and hair galore to make
him a potential phenomenal herd stallion.  Flint will be weaned around 5-6
months old, if interested in this gorgeous little man, feel free to inquire or
set up a visit and come out and meet him!
Price:
12,000
Devin
2010 Bay Drum Colt
Price:
3,500
Devin is a 2010 Drum colt out of Flash of Gold (palomino Gypsy
Stallion standing 15.1) so should mature to 16.2-17h.  He is a big tall
strong colt that loves to prance and show off!  He is bay with 4 whites
and a blaze.  We are working on halter breaking & leading and has his
first hoof trim 5/7/10)
Ethan
2009 Bay Drum Horse Colt
Dam: Belle
Sire: DJ Lenny

Congratulations to Desert Jewel Gypsy Horses & Jennifer Gilson on their
purchase of Ethan, he is a FANTASTIC Drum colt and will be one to
watch for in the future!
Bianca
2007 Black & White Drum Horse Mare
Dam: Gypsy Belle (Clydesdale)
Sire: BFS Galway Warrior
Bianca was the first Drum Horse produced here at Shiredale and she sure
did not disappoint.  She has grown up beautifully and now stands 16.3h as
a 3yr old!  Bianca is one that I am not thrilled with parting with but if the
right home came along she would be sold.  Bianca looks very similar to
her sire just with a bit less feather (she's got extremely soft silky feather
that the AZ desert just destroys :( ).  Bianca has great ground manners,
stands perfectly for farrier, bathing, loves to be groomed and absolutely
loves people!  I really can't fault her, she is an excellent mare with
excellent in ring potential in both hitch work (she can really pick up her
knees) and in dressage as she can extend her trot beautifully.  If you are
interested in more info on Bianca or would like to come visit her please
contact us!  
Price: 8,000
