I bought my draft cross, Lance, from Buckeye Acres Farm two years ago when he was five years old, and he has been an absolute dream. Duane and his team did an exceptional job training him – I have never had a better trained horse.

Lance excels at everything I ask of him: dressage, light jumping, western, and trail riding. He has a great mind and is incredibly reasonable – he doesn’t spook at things that would normally set other horses off. He loads perfectly in the trailer and is happy to load every time. He loves traveling and thrives on the variety of going to shows and events all over. He’s reliable, beautifully trained, and turns heads everywhere we go.

I’m an apprehensive rider due to a serious accident years ago, and Lance has brought me back into the horse scene. I couldn’t be happier – he’s given me my confidence back and made riding a joy again.

A special thank you to Ben, who delivered Lance to me with such care and professionalism. The 2.5-hour drive from Ohio went perfectly, and Lance arrived in excellent condition.

Two years later, Lance continues to be everything I hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a well-trained horse and a team that truly cares about their animals, I can’t recommend Buckeye Acres Farm highly enough. Thank you, Duane and the entire Buckeye Acres team, for connecting me to the horse of a lifetime!
