I know someone who supplies them with horses and some of them are very genuine and others are not! However like all dealers they will have very good and very bad ones just make sure you have a very good trial and a 5 stage vetting from a vet of YOUR choice. A horse should certainly not nap, refuse or run out when jumping at home. It may also be helpful to have a look at the horses passport and get the name of the previous owner and ring them to see what they say about the horse - a bit of detective work never goes amiss! This is what I did when I was looking for mine one dealer told me he had bought the horse privately and I found out from the owner that he had bought it 3 weeks previously from Irish sales although the horse was a good one, the owner had a gen reason for selling and he infact sent me the horses show jumping record! Someone somewhere will know the horse. Just remember BE records don't alway tell the whole story for example the horse could be too inexperienced and ridden by a plonker like me in which case a bad score is fairly justified. However if the horse is ridden by a pro anything less than clear in both phases would get my bells ringing. No harm in looking - they may have the horse of your dreams!
Good Luck

I know someone who bought a horse from them. She tried a lot of their horses but came away with one that they had only had in for a few days. In her opinion, all the other horses were quite wooden and one sided

The one that she bought and that they hadn't had very much to do with at all has turned out really really nice. Good luck
