I purchased my horse, TT Blue Stormy Badger (Laddy) from Duane Yoder of Buckeye Acre Farms fall 2025. After driving 5 hours (from Canada), I went to visit the farm, meet Duane and see his horses. Duane was extremely patient while I selected 5 horses to trial. After trying them, I selected my favorites and prioritized them for bidding in the Best of The West Auction. It was so refreshing to speak to a horse trainer/seller who takes such pride in his horses. Honest, almost to a fault, Duane will tell you all the details of his horses. He has a very high standard for the temperament of horses allowed into the Buckeye training program. They spends months putting the foundation training on their chosen horses. The end product is a sane, sound mount with a solid foundation. Although only 4yr, Laddy trailered 7 hours like a pro on the way home, willing to graze and drink on route. He settled in his new home barely blinking. We had him out on trail rides his 1st week home and he didn’t put a hoof out of place. Patient and calm for his 1st visit from the farrier, the vet and the saddle fitter. Buckeye horses are not inexpensive, but you are getting a top level safe horse from an honest seller with an impeccable reputation. I will definitely purchase from Duane Yoder of Buckeye Acre Farm in the future.
