Kaliber is by Auburn’s now deceased jumper stallion, Francisco El Hombre and out of our holsteiner/ thoroughbred mare, Misskhanduct (Khani). Francisco is a Columbian Sport Horse and has left his mark. His foals are extremely athletic and good natured. Francisco competed at 1 meter 60 consistently. This foal could easily compete in jumper or eventing circuits.

Lexi came to Auburn after a brief career in dressage and low jumpers. She has raced as evidenced by a lip tattoo, but nothing is known about her past. She will make an excellent Sport Horse broodmare and is currently in foal to Auburn’s Oldenburg stallion, Sting (due in May). Her thoroughbred history makes her more suitable for an experienced horse person. Her foal has the potential to excel in any English event including dressage, eventing, or hunters.

Magnet is a favorite among all the foals due to his sweet personality. He is built for speed and should excel in speed events. Magnet’s sire is the beautiful Frenchmen’s Maximum whose offspring are already showing promise in barrel racing training. His dam, Polite Lil Chic has a pedigree that includes Smart Chic Olena and Bugs Alive in 75. This colt has a lot of chrome and has the attitude to be very trainable.
Magnet is currently enrolled in the handling/training class through Animal Science. Upon “graduation” in November, he will load in a trailer, stand to tie, clip, back up, stand to have his feet trimmed, walk and trot in hand, over poles, over a tarp, and lunge at the walk and trot both directions.
Magnet will be available from the Auburn University Horse Unit on November 20.
Sugar has been a part of Auburn’s teaching herd for almost 8 years. She is as sweet as her name and has served our students well. She has also served as a nurse mare for many orphan foals (will be returning to Auburn just in time for this sale). It is time to retire her to the permanent home she deserves. Sugar has arthritis, but is likely sound enough for trail riding (she has not been ridden since coming to Auburn). She also suffers from COPD (respiratory problems) in the summer so pasture turnout would be the best environment for her. This beautiful mare would be an excellent babysitter for young horses. All that know her have fallen in love with her.

Tough was retired from racing at the age of 4 and arrived at Auburn from New York. She has been a member of our recipient herd and is now looking for a permanent home. She has successfully carried pregnancies. Tough will make an outstanding Sport Horse broodmare prospect. She will be sold with a breeding to any of Auburn’s available stallions for next season. Because she is an off the track thoroughbred, she is not for an inexperienced horse owner. She has not been ridden since she arrived at Auburn and her reason for retirement from racing is unknown (injury status).

Trick was born on April Fool’s Day and is a solid paint, thus earning his name. What he lacks in color, he makes up for in personality and breeding. He is out of Auburn’s own Paint Horse stallion Delta Dynamo Bar (Mo). Mo is a grandson of Doc O’Lena (sire) and Delta Flyer (dam). He was used as a working cow horse prior to his arrival at Auburn. Trick’s dam is equally well bred which make this sweet colt capable of almost anything. He has a great attitude and willing spirit.
Trick is currently enrolled in the handling/training class through Animal Science. Upon “graduation” in November, he will load in a trailer, stand to tie, clip, back up, stand to have his feet trimmed, walk and trot in hand, over poles, over a tarp, and lunge at the walk and trot both directions.
Trick will be available from the Auburn University Horse Unit on November 20.
