Mickea Smith | Sterling Equine

“I have purchased multiple horses from Sterling Equine. Not only has each one proved to excel in my discipline of mounted shooting, they have proven themselves as excellent ranch versatility mounts as well. They have the bone to be sound for a lifetime and the mind to put the kids on one weekend then clock the fastest time the next.” Pictured here, Mickea Smith, on Rowdy Red Outlaw SEV.

“My experience with Sterling Equine was a dream come true. Four years ago, I bought my first horse, SEVS Lori Darlin. I was a green rider, and the folks at Sterling Equine have helped me every step of the way to become a better horseman. On my way back home, I took Lori to a large trail ride and swim through the river with Cross Country Trail Rides in Eminence, Missouri. At this huge event, no one believed she was just two years old. With 2,000 in attendance for concerts, fireworks, and riding events, she completely blew away all expectations I had of her. One year ago, I purchased another horse from Sterling Equine (Lori’s Sister), Whiskey River SEV and I could not be more excited and honored to have two of their horses. Not only is their stock stunningly gorgeous, they are strong, well put together, honest, and loyal. As a repeat customer, I would highly recommend the folks at Sterling Equine to you and yours.”

Driftwoods Revenge

“We are extremely happy about our purchase of Driftwoods Revenge from Sterling Equine. He is an asset to our breeding program and a wonderful stallion. He is a pleasure to be around and have on our ranch as well as excelling as a performance horse. We have also purchased a second horse that was bred by Sterling Equine and we only have wonderful things to say about both of them. Kristen is amazing to work with and this company is very professional. “
