wondered if anyone has any experience of them as considering going to see a couple of horses with them , the people seem nice at first contact

i'm just a little edgy as they are quite expensive horses & they want a 10% deposit ( which would be £1K +) & horse to be vetted within 5 days ,& i have already had a bad experience with a failed vetting where the seller thought that it was acceptable to not return the deposit because she didn't agree with the vets opinion

Hi I bought my young horse Ryu from them, he was a private sale not one of the horses they'd brought in themselves, hes lovely. They seemed very open when I went to try him, didn't ask for a deposit but I did book the vetting straight away and took him away the minute he passed. He was a bit of a bargain (compared to the other horses prices) because he'd only been there a week and was very very green. The girls were experienced and capeable and I imagine if he'd stayed longer and they brough him on he'd have been considerably dearer. They seem to put emphasis on hacking out and hunting which I think are important for youngsters, overall a good experience and if I bought again I'd definately contact them.

Heres a piccie of my Ryu looking cheeky

My friend brought her horse from their. Very nice, very helpful & very professional; and all in all a very nice horse!

However the horse she brought won't load in a trailer, she challenged the stud about it who said they had never tried to load her in a trailer as they only had a lorry. Which to be honest, does seem like a fair comment!

Would recommend despite!

Best of Luck!
 
Went to try one there a couple of weeks back who was quite nice, bit expensive for what she. Whilst I asked specifically if she moved straight when I turned up she dished with the one fore quite obviously and this was an issue for me so left her alone.

Seemed well run and professional, all her papers seemed in order etc. Both girls very pleasant and no pressure to buy. If they had another horse in to suit would consider going back for a look.
