Maynard
2022 Half Draft Gelding | Ride • Drive • Trail • Family Horse
Sometimes you meet a horse you don't forget.
I originally met Maynard when I was hired to do his marketing video. At the end of a long, cold day filming in a frozen field, Menno told me, "Take him for a spin."
So I did. I had just asked Menno's daughter to lope Maynard through a frozen field and now that I was on him and I saw how treacherous the footing was! I believe I later told her she could always tell me no on something. Maynard handled it like a pro tho! I knew immediately that I liked this horse.
WHY MAYNARD STOOD OUT
His mind, movement and obviously his coloring! He was born and raised on the same farm that has his sire and dam. In the photos and some video, you can see his team member and that will actually be his sire or dam. He's been to town with events and pulled wagons throughout he woods, he's taken Menno's family to church and community events - he's lived a lifestyle where you need a dependable and honest horse. Everyone who has been a part of his life so far has believed in this horse.
He stays level-headed. He genuinely desires to get along with is rider or driver, and his cues are simple. His movement is smooth and comfortable, and despite being a big, beautiful half draft, he is not intimidating. There is no bucking, rearing, etc.
He's such an enjoyable horse, I took him to a horse show and handed the reins over to several of my friends because I wanted people to experience him for themselves. Their reactions in the video are genuine.
One hadn't ridden much in years and I encouraged him to drop the reins, trust Maynard and lope off.
With another friend, I actually reached up and removed the bridle while they were sitting on him! That's how much confidence I have in this horse. You can ride him in a bridle, halter or twine string.
Remember - he's just 4 years old! He has experience to be useful in any direction you want to take him. Trails, family horse, lesson horse, carriage horse, therapy horse, ranch horse, dressage horse, mounted patrol...the list goes on! He's the kind you can envision doing a bit of everything with.
Most importantly, Maynard enjoys people. He has a fun, personable nature and genuinely seems to enjoy being part of what you are doing.
A HORSE WITH HIS WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF HIM
Maynard isn't a horse we're selling because we've found something we don't like about him.
Quite the opposite.
I liked him enough when I first rode him that when the opportunity presented itself, I bought him myself.
He already has an incredible foundation, but he has his entire life ahead of him and that's what makes him exciting. You aren't purchasing this horse at the end of his story, he's at the beginning. He's ready to make years of memories with his next family.
PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE
Maynard has a clean set of X-rays showing:
•No Bone Chips
• No arthritis
• Good joint spacing
He will also have a veterinarian-issued certificate of health and soundness available Monday 9/14/2026.
We want you to feel comfortable asking questions, reviewing his information and making an informed decision.
AFTER THE SALE
We don't want Maynard to load and go, never to hear about him again. We would love updates! We want to see where he goes, what adventuresses had and if you have questions down the road, we're here to help when and how we can.
He's the kind of horse we'd love to keep tabs on. If circumstances ever change, even if it's years form now, we'd appreciate knowing about it. We regularly have clients searching for good horses, and Maynard is absolutely the type we'd circle back around on.
There is nothing better than a great horse day at the barn and if that's what you are searching for, Maynard is your guy!
