“Open Until Dark” is a 2019 model registered AQHA gelding. Let me tell you, this boy has the looks AND the fancy buttons to back them up.
He has had a healthy amount of training and show experience in western pleasure and halter class. This boy has been to multiple pleasure shows in 2025 already and has placed every time. We’ve had him a short time, but he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He has been the face of our announcement of our newest addition, as well as having my 1-year-old up on him while walking. He is sweet as can be on the ground and while riding. You can catch this boy playing with his jolly ball while stalled or a bouncy ball out in the pasture. He is full of fun and character! My little one loves to love on him the most out of our horses at the moment, and he is never bothered and happy to have her attention despite her chaotic nature.
He is safe to bathe, cross-tie, load/unload, and lunge. There isn’t any vice we’ve found. He side-passes beautifully, picks up both leads, and executes a beautiful flying lead change effortlessly. You can get him into a nice lope around or keep him in a gorgeous short lope. He can spin a hole in the ground well enough to put a new post up to top it all off. This boy is truly a dream and one-hand broke. With some more years on him, he will make a wonderful lesson or youth horse. He has too many buttons and too much want-to for me to recommend him for a young learner.
He will free lunge in a round pen with no issues as well. He is truly a dream and will make someone very happy. I just found out I was pregnant shortly after getting this big boy, or I would 100% be keeping him as my personal show and trail horse. I can’t say enough good things about him. The only “vice” I’ve come across is he will crib without a cribbing collar. As soon as he has his collar, you’re good though! He gets bored and enjoys some enrichment with the likes of stall toys like a jolly ball. He is an easy keeper. I recommend keeping him shod all the way around, as he only has shoes on the front right now but performs best with them all around. He will be fully shod this week.
Text with any questions or to come check out this big boy!

Proxy Bidding:
Proxy bidding is an automatic bidding system that is great to use! Entering a proxy amount allows the system to automatically bid on your behalf. This keeps you from having to babysit the auction. It also protects your maximum bid by not displaying that amount until you are bid against. We advise entering your max bid especially if you will be away from your electronic device or in a poor service area at the end of the auction. To place a proxy, or automatic, bid simply enter the amount of your maximum bid into the Custom Bid box. This allows the system to automatically enter your next bid $100 above contending bidders until your maximum bid is met or the auction ends, whichever comes first. You may also increase your maximum bid at any time without it displaying until you are bid against. If your maximum bid is reached and you are outbid, you will receive an email letting you know that you have been outbid.
Buy It Now:
If the bidding process is NOT for you, we offer a Buy It Now (BIN) option. This option allows you to purchase a horse immediately without waiting until the auction closes. The Buy It Now (BIN) option is available at the seller’s discretion. If the seller offers a Buy It Now option, a bidder can purchase that horse immediately at a price set by the seller. When the “Buy It Now” button is selected, the auction will end immediately. At that time, the purchaser is responsible to make payment arrangements with Classic Horse Auction. You may either be invoiced or you may pay via credit card (a 4% processing fee will be added for all credit card transactions). The “Buy It Now” option will be removed prior to the close of the auction.
Final Minutes:
Please be aware that if a bid is placed within 5 minutes of the close of the auction, an additional 5 minutes will be added to the clock. Time will extend for each new bid placed until 5 minutes has gone by with no new bids.
Technical Issues:
In the event of technical issues (site crash, server glitch, etc.) within the last 10 minutes of the auction that prevent you from placing your bid, please contact Hope Jenne (615-545-6488) within TEN MINUTES of the close of the auction.
Non Payment Fee:
Buyers are required to make payment by the close of business the following day. Purchasers who do not will be charged a $1,000 fee to the card on file. This also applies to purchasers using the Buy It Now option.
Still Need Help?:
Serving customers, both buyers and sellers, is our top priority. We want this to be a seamless process for everyone involved. Please reach out to us via text or call with any additional questions you might have.
