The Old Soul

The Old Soul

Measured, forgiving, and built for teaching. This horse has processed enough chaos to stop being bothered by most of it. Won't set the ring on fire, but won't let you fall on your face either. Gives back exactly what you put in - with a little grace on top.

About this horse

Private Treaty Message for Price Disciplines: All-Around Show, Beginner-Safe, Champion Pedigree, English, English Pleasure, Equitation, Family-Safe, Halter, Horsemanship, Hunt Seat Equitation Ellie, has been showing professionally for the past 7 years. She is a pro in the show ring and absolutely loves youth riders and adult amateur riders who prefer a smooth ride on a trustworthy horse. She is trained on a spur-stop; she can be ridden entirely with seat and leg. Ellie is truly a once-in-a-lifetime horse. She is quiet, mild-tempered, well-mannered, and knows her job. No vices. This is the only horse I would put my children on and not worry about their safety. That is saying alot! With the saddle on or the Showmanship shank, she gets right down to business with her partner. Ellie has been ridden and shown by adult riders and most recently by my two daughters who have transitioned to team sports full time, unfortunately. Ellie is very sound and has no medical history other than routine maintenance. She is an easy keeper overall. Hunt seat, western pleasure, equitation, horsemanship, and showmanship. No jumping. She is a well-oiled machine, in her prime and ready for her next show partner! Ellie will do best with a family that works closely with an all-around trainer. Ellie is used to the routine of a performance barn and thrives in that environment. A family pasture with occasional riding is not ideal for this caliber of horse. She can take your youth rider to the AQHA youth worlds! Ellie is smart. She knows what to do. If your youth rider isn't quite sure, she will absolutely take care of that rider. She is a good teacher: patient and will wait for the correct queue to comply. A kind rider and trainer are a must. She's a clever girl, she doesn't need or deserve a heavy-handed rider. For those not familiar with Machine Made, her sire. He and his line are known for: "Their trainability and his desire to please. This is what makes them such fantastic horses for non pros, amateurs and youths. It is the most common description used by trainers all over the country after riding their first Machine Made baby." Please email or text to get in touch. [contact info removed]. Videos available as well as show record and AQHA points. Ellie and my daughter earned #1 in the state for AQHA exhibitor of the year in 2025. Lifetime Career Points: 68 (all divisions) Register of Merit earned in 2022 2025 Show Season Highlights: - 1st Place in Colorado for AQHA Justin Level 2 Exhibitor of the Year, and 37th nationally in the Exhibitor's age division - Ellie and her youth rider earned RMQHA Youth W/T All Around - Champion Youth Western Horsemanship W/T Level One - Championship Western Pleasure W/T Level One - Reserve Champion Hunter Under Saddle W/T Level One - Reserve Champion Hunt Seat Equitation W/T Level One (Note that Ellie is not pure black; she was born a buckskin and has coppery tones on her flank and face, more noticeable in the summer.)
