Thoroughbred Mare for Sale in Purcellville, VA
~Jackie~ is a great off - the - track Thoroughbred. She did win two races,
but was not very competitive at the track and was so easy to handle that
we decided to make her a hunter. She would also excel with eventing,
having a lovely uphill way of going. Trained by professional and teenage
riders, she is easy to work with and very smart. She does prefer to have
a consistent rider to be her best, which is why she is for sale. Jumps
courses to 3~ with potential to go higher as her training continues. Has
shown successfully at local shows.
Sorry, but we DO NOT offer Leases or Trial Periods on any of our horses.
About Purcellville, VA
Although the first land grant in the area was issued by Lord Fairfax in 1740, it was not until 1764 that Purcellville's first known settler, James Dillon from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, arrived. The early ox cart track which wound westward from Leesburg towards the Blue Ridge, known later as the "Great Road," served as the town's nucleus, although farms existed in the area, and Ketoctin Baptist Church had been founded nearby by 1752. The first recorded business, an ordinary (a combined store and inn), was established by Abraham Vickers in 1799. This was followed by a second ordinary, established by Stacey Taylor in 1804, and later by "Purcel's Store" and Post Office, established by Valentine Vernon Purcell (from whom the town's name is derived). A blacksmith's shop, established around 1848, was also among Purcellville's earliest businesses.
