Everybody just loves him....

Jade is doing great!!  Everybody just loves him and I don't think I have ever had a horse that try as hard all the time.  It is as though he just doesn't know how to do anything wrong or to be bad.  When he doesn't have his best day, it is typically because he is trying too hard.  Not a bad problem to have!

We are currently in Wellington and I am concentrating on dressage.  I have attached a photo at a dressage show down here.  He placed second in the class and I can guarantee you he is the only New Zealand TB charging around Wellington.

As soon as I am ready to buy another one, I would love to get in touch with you to find my next one - Valerie Vizcarrondo - Clifton Jade

Thank you so much for helping us find her!

Scarlett is doing pretty well!  Wes has been working on dressage with her.  He rode her in a sanctioned dressage show over the weekend under an FEI dressage judge at the training level - test 4 in dressage- and he got a 65.6 which is great for regular dressage. The dressage judges are much tougher than eventing judges that is for sure!  He should be doing really well when he starts eventing in the spring again.

Thank you so much for helping us find her! - Wesley Seitz - Scarlett O'Hara

The best risk I have ever taken.

I have competed at the three star level and I am a young rider. I must admit I was a bit hesitant at first buying a horse overseas only having seen him through pictures. But I took the risk, and indeed, it was the best risk I have ever taken.

After buying Frodo Baggins from Ross in September, I spent the rest of the year hacking and adapting to my new partner. Starting in January, I took Frodo to his first event, at the Training level. Following this event, once again he moved up to Prelim where he had four consecutive clean cross countries and then we ended with the Virginia CCI* which we successfully completed with a clean and almost fast endurance phase.

I cannot emphasize the quality of the horse I am sitting on. Also, I cannot thank Ross enough for selling me such a talented and brilliant animal. My plans this year for Frodo will be to represent Area 2 at NAYRC or Radnor CCI**. He is now competing at the Intermediate level after having him for less than 10 months. Given the chance and the finances, I would gladly buy another horse from Ross - Laine Ashker - Frodo Baggins

I couldn't be happier.  

Hey Ross and Mel,

Well, I picked Hail up last week and rode him for a week before we went to California - and he was just FABULOUS!  He was so much fun and he was just a star.  He did everything effortlessly.  I couldn't be happier.  

Our first show is in April in California, so I am really looking forward to that.

I can't thank you guys enough for such a wonderful horse.  He is a great jumper, and my flat work has improved so much. We are planning to run 1* in November. - Natalia Gurmankin - Hail

Ross's commitment to clients needs, equestrian knowledge and integrity is extremely impressive.

I have just returned from a fantastic trip arranged by Ross, where I had a first-hand, in-depth look into this great way of matching up horses and riders. Ross's commitment to clients needs, equestrian knowledge and integrity is extremely impressive.

Every horse they represent is thoroughly assessed; conformation, soundness, movement and jumping technique is examined; every horse is ridden extensively on the flat and over fences; each horse's history is researched; each horse's suitability for specific disciplines and compatibility for particular riders is looked at.

I returned home with complete confidence in Ross's operation, and with two wonderful horses! - Hilda Hick Donahue - Scribble and Ashmore Blue
