Alan Spalding

[Lucyann89]

Decided to sell my horse around May and planning on buying a new one some time in early Summer. My friend works for Alan Spalding (SJ dealer) and I have seen a few of his horses which always seem very nice. He regulary competes, and does well, at competitions I am at so I am familiar with him and his horses always look like they jump well.

I will be looking for a new SJ and I was wondering if anyone recommends/does not recommend him, or if anyone can give me any info on him or his horses? I have heard they are pretty pricey but from what I have seen, I wouldn't say over-priced?

Obviously my friend works for him so although I value her opinion and help (she tells me he's fab and I should definately have a look at his horses) I know it might be a bit bias because she works for him.

Thanks everyone

Ohh, he had 2 nice ones at Loanhead on Wednesday - I preferred the one his Daughter was riding. But of course I have NO idea what they were called. It was a Bay mare though - very well put together and absolutely gorgeous.

We bought horse off him about yr ago.Horse was what he said one to bring on tho 6 as green.Will say she is a gorgeous babe!!
Will say he makes all his horses look nice.
Would say they may be a bit pricier than other dealers in area but much same as prices on internet.His horses always look like quality animals.
Go see him can't hurt to look.
