Available for Sale
This video is of Bellavista Independence - a coming 5yo pure Cleveland Bay gelding we are bringing into saddle. Indy is an atypical sales horse for us because most of our youngstock sells as youngsters (weanlings, yearlings, two-year olds occassionally, etc..). We purchased Indy back from a buyer, used him for a year of breeding (AI collection) and then slowly began saddlework. Our goal is that he’ll find a human that’s a solid amateur working regularly with a trainer to ensure that he continues his path. Indy’s price is $25k and his potential significant.
We have a few other youngsters available including:
A Cleveland Bay Sporthorse gelding coming 2 - Bellavista Livestream. Gaylord Ivanhoe X Bellavista Banter. A tall athlete with beautiful movement. $12,500
A pure Cleveland Bay yearling filly - Bellavista Marigold. Gaylord Raleigh X Bellavista Her Royal Highness. Sizable, correct, and lovely personality. A showing/breeding home desired. Could pursue many disciplines. $10,000
A pure Cleveland Bay yearling colt - Bellavista Mercury. Bellavista Independence X Venus BV. Fancy look with a nice temperament. Could pursue many disciplines. $7,500
We are expecting two foals in Spring 2025 which are likely to be available for sale. Learn more on our Sporthorse Mare page.
We are often asked about what we have available for sale. What is available changes so please reach out to inquire. Here are some basics about sales:
It is rare for us to have horses available that are under saddle. Typically our stock sells when they are young - weaning, yearling, etc. Occasionally, we do have one and if you’ve reached out we know who to contact if a situation arises where we decide to place one we might have kept or one we previously sold comes onto the market.
We strive hard to place foals with a home that allows them to reach their potential. Please don’t be offended if we steer to or away from one you might have your eye on. It’s not a sales tactic.
Pure CB fillies are sold only to homes that intend to breed them in addition to their ridden or harness careers. The breed needs the numbers to survive - TRULY! We will work with purchasers of pure fillies to help them find a way to meet their needs as well as ensure the genetics of this rare breed continue.
If you have interest in a stallion prospect, please start that conversation early. Because stallion homes are few and far between, we often geld colts in order to give them a potentially better life as a ridden horse. That said, we have stallion sons of ours here in the US and Canada, and will gladly work with a potential breeder that wants to bring a Bella Vista colt into their program. We believe in our herd’s genetics and aren’t worried about any cannibalization in such a small breed. The only way Clevelands can fluorish is by new breeders entering the scene.
Lastly, we have the most devoted family of owners of Bella Vista horses. People all over the country reach out because of the amazing things that current BV horse owners post on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media. We have multiple folks that have purchased several horses years apart from us because they were so pleased. We want this to continue. We want to stay in contact with our horses and their owners - to hear the good things they are accomplishing and to help troubleshoot potential issues before they become problematic. We genuinely care!
