" Ride Irish"

[Sprout]

Think I may have have read something about this dealer recently, but cant find the post!
Has anyone got any experience of them, as I am thinking of going to view one of their horses.
Any opinions would be gratefully received!

Sorry to be a pain, but could you pm me too? I'll be looking again if my current potential new horse fails the vet again, & that's one of the places I was considering. Ta.

My cousin bought her 4 year old from there and really recommended them to me. She said they were very helpful and friendly. They even helped her find a retirement home for her mare. When I was looking for a horse I was going to go down there but ended up finding something just round the corner from where I live.

I don't know about anyone else but I bought a coloured 4 yr old off of them about a year and a half ago and could not fault them. The mare was not for me as I was shipping her out to a client in the Caribbean and they were as helpful as could be. I went to see her a couple of times, videoed her being ridden, rode her, jumped her, hacked her down a busy main rode, etc. and they bent over backwards to help me. To top it off they even delivered her to my doorstep on Christmas Eve! The mare was green but very honest which was totally expected and everything they said about her was very true.
Their horses can be quite expensive but then again no more expensive than if you went over to Ireland and bought a similar horse yourself and shipped it over. As far as I know, they also don't do much buying from the sales in Ireland, instead prefer to leave their business partner over there sourcing horses in person and keeping them there for a while to hunt, etc. before bringing back to the UK.
Some may have had bad experiences, I can't speak for them, but I would definately go and have a look at what they've got to offer.
