I am planning to buy a horse, but I am based in Guernsey so my options for buying locally are very limited! I will be making a trip to England to try out and hopefully find a horse to buy in March. but, since time will be limited I am trying to do some research in advance so I dont end up going to see a load of dodgy traders and wasting my trip!!!!!

I will be looking at magazine/web ads and have got some reccomendations from friends, but does anyone have any reccomendations (or warnings!) for private or trade sellers who are based in the south of England?

The type of horse I am looking for is a 6-8 year old, 16.1 - 17.1hh middleweight all rounder - personality more important than breeding!

Thanks!

Ignore the cr@ppy website, it's well out of date, but the phone number is important lol!

He always has a selection of really nice horses at sensible prices and gives you a full after sales service too if you want it

I've never seen a bad horse come from lets put it that way...
 
Also Prestwood stud in Charlwood, they are quite expensive but nice quality horses. You have European Sports Horses based in Rusper - sTeve Lamb.
I personally would not touch - blackboys stud, Rapkyns, Cheswick Stud, Southgate Farm - I have heard/ seen dodgy horses here

Ironically, you aren't allowed to say that as it's deemed a defammatory post
