I'm in the US (ex-pat). I've just bought a home with 20 acres and plan to put in a barn and paddocks at some in the next two to three years, at which point I want to buy a horse for myself, a pony for my kids and a mini donk for extra company
What I'm looking for in the US doesn't seem to exist. The quality horses, by and large, do the American hunter circuit or equitation. The showjumpers are fewer in number and seem to be way above my riding capabilities. In any case, I want a well-mannered all-rounder, about 16 hh, something that can do hunter paces, hack out alone on hilly terrain, maybe some dressage, drag hunt and be an all-round super horse.
Can anyone recommend quality dealers that export overseas? Because of the insane cost of horses in the US, I'd already (mentally) put aside $30-40k, so have a decent amount to spend.
