How buying from Europe works ↗Buying from the United States
From your first enquiry to your next horse.
A personal point of contact in Europe, with an understanding of the American market. Here is how we can work together on your search.
Define your search
Tell us about your riding level, discipline, ambitions and budget. Whether you are a rider, trainer or owner, we start with the partnership you are looking for and the job the horse needs to do.
Explore a tailored shortlist
We draw on our own horses and European network to identify suitable options. Discuss each horse’s experience, temperament and rideability, and request videos to review with your trainer.
Meet and try the horses
Plan a visit to try your shortlisted horses in Europe. If you are starting your search from the United States, discuss the available information and videos with us first so you can decide on your next step.
Arrange an independent vetting
Before committing to a purchase, arrange a pre-purchase examination with an independent veterinarian of your choice. We help coordinate access to the horse; your veterinarian advises you on the findings and suitability for your intended use.
Plan the purchase and journey
Once you have chosen a horse, discuss the sale terms, timing and handover with us. We can help you connect with specialist transport providers to plan the journey to the United States. Transport, insurance and any veterinary or import arrangements should be confirmed with the relevant providers before travel.
Tell us what you are looking for.
Include your discipline, riding level, budget and preferred timing. Trainers looking on behalf of clients are welcome to get in touch.
