Ponies and Foals for Sale Update
August 11, 2020
We've started laughing at ourselves, because, by this point, we all know the drill, "Amish raised pony. Kid broke to ride and drive. Traffic safe, sound, and sane." Yes, we realize it's getting a little repetitive, but we don't know what else to tell y'all other than the truth - even if it's getting boring.
Also, we're a two-family operation and all of us have "real jobs," and just play with ponies on the side. So, we apologize if you get an email/Facebook message back from Kelsey or Rocky asking for a phone number so you can talk to Ava or Nelson. Ava and Nelson don't do email and Kels and I are just the "tech side" of things.
As always, we are adding videos as we get them put together - three more were added today: Hero, Ranger, and Izzi. Our current ponies are listed below and on the Small Ponies for Sale and Large Ponies for Sale pages, but we do have a few more ponies available for sale, whom we are getting photos/videos of now. All ponies for sale are currently located in Applecreek, Ohio.

At Whittling Ridge Farms, our focus is providing good, honest horses and ponies. We live on a working farm, where in addition to horses and ponies, we raise cattle, sheep, and goats.
We have various sizes of equines, from our Percheron draft mares on down to a miniature horse every now and again. We specialize in Georgian Grandes (Saddlebred-Percheron crosses) and have been raising them since the late 1980s. We are currently raising foals our homegrown Georgian Grande stallion, Whitt, a son of American Saddlebred stallion Santana Hosanna. We also partner with the Hershberger family in Applecreek, Ohio, with whom we raise, buy, and sell ponies. Our horses and ponies, in Virginia or Ohio, are used to being ridden both alone and in groups, often with free-roaming horses in the fields with them, as well. They have many trail miles and are used for anything that they’re needed for on the farms. When riding on our farm in Virginia, we never know what we might encounter when we ride out into the back fields. It is not uncommon for our horses to flush wild turkeys and deer from the woods or to round up our cattle and sheep to move into other pastures. Our Ohio horses and ponies are accustomed to being ridden or driven on the main roads, and as you can see in videos, being passed by large trucks and tractor trailers is just an ordinary part of the day. |
