At this time, we are dispersing our herd due to health issues. We
intend to keep no more than 4 horses and will consider any reasonable offers on all horses currently in our care. All horses
sold at Holy Moly Farm will be up to date on shots & coggins at the time of delivery/pick up. Delivery within a 300-mile
radius is negotiable.
Holy Moly Meadow Mist
f. 3/17/2003 [Ryegate Vt. Soma Jed x Double
Diamond Anniversary] black-bay mare
Mist is a beautifully proportioned Lippitt mare who stands about 14 hands. She is sweet natured and affectionate,
although reserved with strangers and somewhat shy in new or strange places. She gave us one absolutely gorgeous foal and was
an attentive, capable mother, but buyers considering her for a breeding program should know that she aggressively defended
her baby at first and needs to be given plenty of space when she's caring for a little one. She has particularly sound feet
and always stands perfectly for vet and farrier. She particularly loves being groomed and fussed over. She has been backed
and will be put into training as a riding mare next spring, since we no longer intend to breed her.
Mist's pedigree contains all of the foundation horses
except Lippitt Trixie and Susie, so she would be an asset to a Lippitt breeding program. Our asking price for Mist is $4500.00,
but we are willing to negotiate with Lippitt breeders, and will offer particularly favorable terms to a breeder who is also
willing to take Mist's friend and close companion, Ryegate Magi Moro (see below). More pictures of Mist may be found on our Mares page.
Ryegate Magi Moro
f. 3/5/1986 [Ryegate Moro Magic x Ryegate Dixie Moro]
bay mare
Maggie is the quintessential Lippitt mare: big boned, 14.3 hands,
and the classic Lippitt disposition. She looks a great deal younger than her chronological age and is in excellent shape.
She has had no foals since 2006 and is likely at the end of her days as a mother; although a check by our vet this spring
showed her to be still capable of producing a foal, we do not feel it is in her best interest to have another pregnancy and
for that reason did not breed her this spring as we had planned. She nevertheless has potential value to a breeding program
because she often lactates when around a pregnant mare or a new foal—we've seen her do this two of the three seasons
she's been on our farm, once with a mare she was close to (Mist) and once with a mare she wasn't close to (Bessie). She's
also a great babysitter for newly weaned foals, giving them the exact mix of discipline and affection that young colts or
fillies require post-weaning. She is saddle broken and is easy to ride, although not for a novice rider as there is still
plenty of spunk in the old girl yet! Our
goal is to find Maggie a home where she can end her days in contentment, whether she is ridden or merely a companion. Our
ideal situation would be to send her to a breeding farm with her best buddy Mist, but failing that we would prefer to see
her in a home where she will be ridden gently but regularly, as exercise seems to be a key component to keeping her trim and
healthy. Sale is by private treaty, with preference to a buyer who matches one of our preferred situations for this fine older
mare. More pictures
of Maggie may be found on our Mares page.
SSM Bessie Nekomia f. 6/23/1995 [Quietude Westward x Ryegate Nubbinette] bay mare
Bessie is a gorgeous 15-hand full Lippitt broodmare with a solid
bone structure and gentle temperament. She is sweet natured and loving, calm but not shy, and a superb mother who produces
beautifully formed, healthy foals (her sons, C-My Brother Ray and Holy Moly Poseidon, are pictured on our Geldings and Colts
page). Bess has no vices, stands perfectly for vet and farrier, travels well, and is generally easy to handle. We have not
had her under saddle since she came to our farm, but her former owner said she could be ridden by an experienced rider. Her
action and gaits are beautiful to behold so it might be worth retiring her from breeding and using her for riding. She is
very willing and trustworthy—we've even had our children riding her bareback with no issues. Bessie has been SOLD and now lives at Randallane Morgans.
Congratulations to Crescent Peirce on the purchase of this wonderful mare!

Brook Hill Syndication f. April 21, 2006 [Brook Hill Anticipation x Oceanview Integritys
Piper] bay gelding
"Stevie"
is an extremely well-mannered, friendly, curious, intelligent, easy-going, and engaging young gelding. His pedigree and current
growth suggest that he will reach 14.2 hands when he finishes growing. Stevie is respectful and well-socialized with other
horses and with people. He was raised here on our farm with dogs at his heels and has never once had any problems, and he
is accustomed to daily handling. His personality is playful, sometimes mischievous, but he loves to work in the ring and is
remarkably focused for a 3-year-old horse. Stevie is absolutely perfect in the trailer, bathes without fuss, and stands well
for the vet and farrier. His feet and overall health have been carefully monitored from birth, and his wolf teeth have been
done. He was shown in hand at the Lippitt Country Show as both a weanling and a yearling, where he placed second (in 2006)
and first (in 2007) respectively; his behavior in the show ring is generally very good. Stevie is being trained for dressage
and had his first test on October 18; he performed extremely well, scoring a 67% and taking a blue ribbon.
Stevie is available for sale by private treaty; price
will be commensurate with his level of training and performance at the time of inquiry. We are also willing to lease him to
a skilled rider capable of helping to bring his dressage training along, preferably in concert with his current trainer.
C-My Brother Ray
f. July 24, 2007 [Ryegate Major x SSM Bessie Nekomia] bay stallion
Ray is a handsome, well-mannered, inquisitive, and friendly young
stallion. His pedigree and current growth suggest that he will be 15.0 hands or taller when he finishes growing, and he already
shows the powerful muscle that characterizes Lippitt Morgans. Ray is accustomed to daily handling and has no issues with haltering,
leading, or cross-tying, and he has been well socialized by the mares and geldings in our herd. He stands well for vet or
farrier, although like any young stallion requires a firm hand. Ray has inherited the famous gentle disposition of his sire
Ryegate Major and grandsire Stillwater Indigo, to the point that we trust him to quietly accept pats from our young children;
we expect he will make a superior riding or carriage horse when he begins formal training in 2010. Ray would likely make a top-notch breeding stallion, but if we
are unable to find him a place in a breeding program between now and January, we intend to geld him so that we can begin training
him for saddle and/or carriage in the spring. Breeders who are interested in adding this last son of Ryegate Major to their
herd are encouraged to inquire now, as we will sell Ray for the reasonable price of $3500.00 before January 2010.
Holy Moly Poseidon
f. May 19, 2009 [Bayside Rainman x
SSM Bessie Nekomia] bay colt
"Pete"
is a truly incredible colt, big-boned and beautifully proportioned. Like his mother and half-brother C-My Brother Ray, we
believe he will be 15.0 hands or taller when he finishes growing. He has personality galore and loves to be scratched and
groomed, though he's not above the occasional mischief! If his parents' disposition are any guide, he'll grow up to be affectionate,
willing, and relaxed. If
we were in a position to pick and choose, we'd love to see Pete go to a Lippitt breeding program, as he's the only living
offspring of a fantastic Canadian stallion who may not produce any others. We offer him for sale at the price of $3500.00.
Potential buyers looking for a stud prospect will be given special consideration in negotiating a price for Pete. If we are
unable to find him a place in a breeding program between now and his second birthday, we intend to geld him and retain him
for training as a saddle or carriage horse.
More pictures of Pete may be found on our Geldings & Colts page.
Cameo
black-bay mixed-breed mare We know little about her antecedents, but this five-year-old mare has filled out into a tall, elegant
beauty with the most stunning movement we've ever seen. We feel that she would make
a superior eventer because of her long neck, long legs, and smooth action, but she also has potential as a park-style show
horse. She is generally easy to handle but is extremely intelligent and very sensitive
to emotional states, requiring her handler to maintain a calm, relaxed air. She will do well with an experienced rider who
has time to put into training and who makes a point of establishing bonds of trust with her. Cameo stands well for the farrier
but is somewhat shy with veterinarians (although she appears to be less nervous with male vets than female). She is green
broke and needs an owner who can continue to give her the time and attention that a young horse requires. We will be putting
her into training with Robyn Cuffey some time next spring, but we're hoping to eventually find her a home with a special owner/rider
who can bring her to her full potential. Cameo
has had one foal and is a superior mother. Because of her lack of pedigree, we do not recommend her for breeding but are hoping
to find her a home with an owner who bonds to her and is willing to put time and energy into training her up. This is not
a horse for an inexperienced owner, and we will not sell her to anyone who doesn't fully understand the level of commitment
she needs. $1000.00 or best offer.
