BUYING A HORSE IS A MASSIVE DECISION: Not just from the cost point of view but also the emotional commitment required. Its therefore important you buy the right horse for you and your circumstances. You need to take your time and if novice or inexperienced make sure you bring someone more experienced who understands your needs and knows your riding level. Whilst we try our best to match horses to riders its very difficult in such a short time frame to gauge your true riding level. Ultimately it’s your decision with regards suitability and we can only advise. No horse is perfect or bombproof as so often claimed. They will all have their strengths and weaknesses and its always going to be a compromise between the positives and negatives. If you’re looking for a horse that is 100% in every way you won’t find it here or at any other stables for that matter.

YOU HAVE TO BE REALISTIC: Or sadly somewhere along the line you’re going to disappointed. We can only go so far in assessing any horse in the time we have had it and as this is usually weeks not months we can only offer a best opinion of how we have found any animal to be whilst with us. With regards to a horses history as we have not owned the horse since birth or it can NOT be verified 100% we will assess a horse on what we see in front of us not what we have been told. It’s for these potential pitfalls we have gone to great length to  design our warranty and backup to cover most eventualities and minimise the risk of you the customer getting it wrong and being stuck with a unsuitable horse.

NOVICE RIDERS & OWNERS: We are very happy to sell horses to novice owners & riders and have many horses that are suitable. The problem is we want them to stay that way. Horses regardless of how good or well schooled in the wrong inexperienced hands have the capacity to change character both riding wise and behavioural wise. They also react differently to different people, situations and location. Its for these reasons we would always insist novice owners have someone experienced they can turn to for help & advice. Its a sad fact that when things go wrong in the horse/owner relationship its always the horse that gets the blame never the owner. In our experience this is rarely the case. So if your novice bring a friend, have the horse vetted and take advice.
