I’ve come across a few threads on the forum where posters mention working with an agent or broken when buying a horse. I’m looking for a reputable professional broker or agent to help me find my next horse. I’m an amateur rider looking for a HJ, Eq, dressage horse. Can you suggest or recommend anyone like this?
Interesting price point. I am not in the know, but I didn’t think such a horse could be found for under 30k. All three disciplines? At what levels?

I’ve come across a few threads on the forum where posters mention working with an agent or broken when buying a horse. I recently found out my trainer was trying to make a big undisclosed commission off of me, so I’ve decided to find help elsewhere. I’m looking for a reputable professional broker or agent to help me find my next horse. I’m an amateur rider in Southern CA looking for a HJ, Eq, dressage horse <$30k. Can you suggest or recommend anyone like this?[/QUOTE]
Send me a PM and I can give you some info.
I hope you are looking for a new trainer too? How could you ever trust this one?
Equifind Group is reputable. Very Professional. Covers USA, Canada and Europe.

Try Maplewood Stables. Julie Winkle usually has many horses and/or connections to people with those type of horses. They “broker” all the time.
Sent you a PM
Call Mark Watring. He is a completely hones, realistic horse person, a great trainer, and sells a lot of horses. He may even have something in the barn. And, he’s been to the Olympics in show jumping AND eventing and I did the hunters with him), so he is your best bet, IMO for finding something that is versatile. Good luck! I will pm you his cell #.
Speak with the people at Foxfield in Westlake, CA.
I’m not looking for a proven show horse. A younger prospect with/in training is fine. For that I believe $30k is reasonable.
