Find your horse where it's best found.
Two of us, both from the horse world, both in love with France, bringing you into the sport we know and the country we live in.

Buying a horse in France is usually a closed world: the right barns, the right people, conversations that happen in French over a handshake. We know that world, and we open it to you.
And because you've come all this way, we make the rest of it count. Not the France of postcards and queues, but the one we actually live in: a winemaker who pours you the bottle that never leaves the village, a table by the harbour that isn't in any guide.
We're both horse people, years of riding and producing, one of us still competing. That means an eye for a good one, and a phone full of the right numbers. Both are yours.
The addresses we'd give a close friend, never a tourist: the winemaker, the table by the harbour, the corners of France you'd never find on your own.
French in the barns, American at home. Sellers talk to us as their own; American buyers read us as theirs. Nothing gets lost in the middle. Not the language, not the price.
We both grew up in French sport-horse country and rode at a high level, producing young horses that went on to the top of the sport. One of us is now based in the US, so nothing gets lost between a French seller and an American buyer.
Between us we know every barn worth knowing, and the France worth seeing. When the horses are tried, we'd rather show you the country and the culture we love than wave goodbye at the airport.
Wherever the right horses are, there's a reason to make a journey of it. These are the places we go back to.
Less itinerary, more memory.
Nothing here is a package. Each trip is put together by hand, around your dates, the horses worth seeing, and the life around them.
Years spent riding and producing in the sport, hundreds of young horses through our hands. A few of them:
The grey at Versailles. We produced and rode him at four and five. Seeing him at the Olympics is what this work is about: spotting a good one early.
Also at the Paris Games. Two of the horses we produced were there at the same Games.
Brought through as a four-year-old, now competing at five-star level under the British flag.
Produced from four to six years old. A genuine, scopey type that kept climbing the levels.
A mare we produced from five to eight years old, all the way to four-star long. Real scope, and the heart to use it.
Not a youngster, but a horse moved up from two-star to four-star from age eleven. The other side of producing.
The horse we produced longest, from four to nine years old, all the way to Advanced.
Each was produced young, then reached these levels under other riders. Spotting them early, and the network behind it, is what we bring to your search.
"They found me two horses in France I'd never have come across on my own, and made the whole trip easy. Honest on the price, sharp on the quality. I'd send any friend their way."
You cover the trip. Our fee is simple. If you buy a horse through us, the days you've already paid come off the commission.
For time on the ground: sourcing, visits, trials and the days out in between. Travel and expenses are separate.
On the horse's asking price, with the days you've already paid deducted from it. The seller's price is the price.
Why this matters: some agents quietly add 30% to the price and keep the difference. We don't. The asking price is the only price you pay.
