Just curious to know whether anyone has bought a horse off him and whether they were happy with their new steed?!

Have seen a horse I like on his website.
 
Ive never bought from him but he is well established, seems to have nice horses, and Ive not heard anything negative.
 
Won't be cheap but WILL be lovely - he has some fantastic horses for sale, some very smart ones in the Warwickshire hunt came from him.
Would think he's extremely hard to bargain with on price - if you've got an OH like mine that likes 'to have a deal', be prepared to stand well back!
 
Is this the son of Jack Gittins? The amazing old show rider? If it is, and if his horses are only half as good as his father's... then wow!
 
It is the same!!

I thought they might be hugely expensive horses. Oh well. I can dream.

Many years ago my ex-boss bought a horse from Jack (one of many he bought from him) and I had breakfast with him and his family. Steve would have been about 3 years old!!! Jack offered me a job and I have always regretted not taking it... what a man he was.
 
No but I know them from the hunting field - and know his son very well through pony club days!

Their horses all seem to be well mannered, sane and BEAUTIFUL...he has a very good eye, and is a true old fashioned horseman.
 
Yes you will need to have deep pockets to buy one of his. Ladies horses 10 - 15k and gentlman's horses 15k plus.

Steve will have 'get on and go' horses. Don't forget many of his horses are of the 4 - 6yr old bracket and therefore are still relatively green even though they will have show jumped over in Ireland.
