Lot #31, August 15th. More Details: https://schmittyssalebarn.com/

There are good horses....There are great horses....And then there are the ones that quietly change lives.

Leroy is one of those horses.

Born here. Raised here. Loved by one family his entire life. From the day he hit the ground, Leroy has been more than just another horse—he's been part of our story. We've watched him grow from a curious colt into the kind of partner most people spend a lifetime searching for. You don't measure a horse like Leroy by the points he's earned—you measure him by the confidence he's built, the dreams he's carried, and the memories he's created for every person lucky enough to swing a leg over him.

Yes, the resume is extraordinary.

114 AQHA Points
328 PtHA Points
32 ABRA Points
Open, Amateur, and Youth ROMs
PtHA World Champion and Reserve World Champion
Multiple Color Breed Congress Championships
High Point Buckles and Countless Circuit Awards

But those are only the things you can hang on a wall. The things you can't frame are what make Leroy unforgettable.

He's packed beginners to their first wins, elevated seasoned competitors, and walked into the pen with the same quiet confidence every single time. Open, Amateur, Youth, Novice—it never mattered. Leroy showed up, took care of his rider, and did his job with a heart that can't be taught.

When the lights are off and the announcer is quiet, he's still the same horse. He's navigated obstacle courses with ease, spent endless miles exploring Missouri trails, and proved that the best horses aren't built for one arena—they're built for a lifetime.

Every horse teaches you something. A few make you better. Only the rare ones become part of your story forever.

Selling a horse like Leroy isn't easy. You don't replace one you've raised from birth, one that's carried your colors into the winner's circle, and one that's given you more memories than you can count. Leroy is the horse people talk about years later. The one they compare every other horse to. The one they wish they'd never let get away.

Horses with this kind of resume can be found. Horses with this kind of heart almost never are.

If you've spent years waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime partner—the one that can win on Saturday, trail ride on Sunday, and still make you smile every time you open the barn door...

You've just found him.
