Has anyone bought a horse from the above? Can you let me know your experiences please.

In light of the warning from Admin regarding dealers perhaps better by PM

Rosiefan's grand daughter bought one from them and has done pretty well with it.

I visited them to do an article for EWW and was impressed with the set up. I think they own less now themselves and actually do more 3rd party stuff where they have them on sale livery.
 
Overpriced. Went three times to view various horses and they got progressively worse and more expensive. Was told by one of the staff that about 1/3rd of their horses at least, fail the vets. Fab faciliites though, and no hard sell at all. I still look at their website, which is also fab, to see what they have. Just my experience though.

They used to buy a good few horses at Goresbridge and Cavan. All entries are pre-vetted and the prices are so good especially now - its worth the trip and you get your flight costs refunded if you purchase a horse. It isnt as hard as you think to buy a good horse from Ireland.
 
Regarding the failing the vet I talked to them about this and can see their point - they have hundreds of vets come to their yard, no vet does the same tests/checks on a horse and because they are a dealers essentially are looking for the worst. I understand that vettings are the most frustrating thing to them as no hard or fast rules completely depends on the vet on the day to how they do things and what they look for.
