Comet’s Tail proudly offers CH Ali Khan (Karrianne IK x Ali Szar) for breeding.
I am accepting a limited number of outside horses for training in a one on one atmosphere. I specialize in rehabilitating abused (or “tough”) horses and backing colts that have not yet been ridden. We would like to have the horse at least 90 days. We do not believe in 30 day miracles. You are always welcome to come watch the horse being worked. After 60 days we would like you on the horse, taking lessons or trail riding with 2 other riders. If your horse just is not working out for you we will help you place it and help you find a horse more suitable to your needs. E-Mail me for more information or stop by our web site!
