Vivaldi x Connery – Gelding, 172cm, 2011

The horses are stabled all through Holland. We work with a fantastic selection of breeders, private owners, riders and small production yards.

We generally don’t own the horses that we offer. They are owned by our contacts through out Holland.

The price of the horse is always quoted excluding our 10% commission so that you always know exactly what you are paying.

In Holland, horses owned by a business have vat added on to the price. In general this is 21%, but for breeding stallions and mares it can be 6%. Privately owned horses are vat free.

We work on a 10% commission basis and the commission is paid for the service that we provide. There is a huge amount of work that happens behind the scenes including building/refining our contacts, videoing the horses, inspecting new horses, going to vettings and organising the whole sales process for our clients from beginning to end.

We work on a basis of trust and will try and advise and support you as best as possible. Obviously, the risk of buying via video is always yours, but we will try and make the whole process as transparant as possible.

Payment for the horse is always done directly to the owner of the horse via (International) bank transfer.

In general that is not necessary as we will take you to see all the horses and also pick you up at the hotel every morning. Should you however come with a larger group or want to add some holiday time to your trip it can be a good idea to hire a car.

We generally tend to book the hotels for our clients as the location of the hotel is relevant to the planning that we make for you. It is, however, always possible for you to book your own hotel should you want to stay somewhere specific.

Absolutely! Holland is a beautiful country and very well worth visiting!

No, you do not need to bring a deposit as we work on a basis of trust with our contacts here in Holland.
