Opinions please on a dealer. Actually 2 dealers.

[Peanot]

Hi, anyone had any dealings with Oakwood Stud in Newark, and Caron Nicholl in Warwickshire, or know of anyone who has.
Thank you

not used oakwood... but they are just down the road from me, neber heard anything bad

 

[Jemayni]

Know them quite well, they are one of our greatest rival dealerships locally.

Can't say a negative thing against them, they cherish a good reputation and whilst what you buy might not be perfect, they will tell exactly what you're getting.

 

[Peanot]

Jemayni, which one do you know?

 

[Peanot]

Wench, do you know if they compete regularly? and what they do and how good they are? sorry for all the questions.

 

[dieseldog]

We bought a horse of Caron, they are a good price, you can haggle a lot, and the horses are as described. You can get a nice horse there for a reasonable price.

 

[dieseldog]

Are you looking at working for them?

 

[wench]

I dont know if they compete I'm afraid. I dont go out very much

 

[Baileysno1]

I bought Ryu from the girls at oakwood stud when they had Caythorpe, all good, PM if you like

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

only heard of Carron Nichol she has a good reputation and horses are described as they are !! xx

 

[jumpthemoon]

I bought my horse from Carron Nichol (the one in the siggy below - the two left pics). He was exactly as described and although I've had a few teething probs (not her fault) he's everything I was looking for, bless him

 

[jumpthemoon]

I just noticed you're asking about competing - I think Billy Twomey rides for Carron sometimes and she does quite a bit of show jumping. I've seen a few of her horses in H&H in the SJ section.

 

[Jemayni]

Sorry, I know Oakwood stud!

 

[polyphonic]

Carons a good un!!

 

[susan_w]

I know Caron - she competes BSJA at quite a high standard. Do a search for her on the H&H results.

 

[SilverSkye]

Oakwood are very close by to where i keep my horse, yes they compete mainly BD i think although they do show jump a bit as well and x country school.
Caron is always out BSJA they have a nice yard ( a bit hectic) but well run.

I was due to go and look at a horse at Oakwood in March, but he had a foot abscess so I was delayed a bit until he was better, and in the meantime I found Ronnie. They came across very nicely, very honest.

No DD, buying from them.

 

[Peanot]

Thank you for all your replies, I did phone Carron a week or so ago and she had a couple I could look at, so I will call her again. Its just that there are some dodgy dealers about and when I was younger, you only brought trouble from a dealer.
Thanks all

I've never dealt with Carron but know someone who brought from her - horse isn't working out and she immediately said bring him back and I'll give you something else or your money back - you can't ask for more than that from a dealer!
