Horse buying services

You do not want to think about anything else than the horse you are looking for! We will keep you concentrated on the horses while we take care of everything else: appointments at the stables, flights, hotel, vet, transportation and quarantine.

Prepare close to home: A local Dutch contact to coordinate your search

European Horse Trade is a Dutch company based in the US, so you do not have to consider European time zones while we plan your trip. We will discuss your requirements and plan your trip, based on what is good for you.

Questionnaire & meeting: Starting the search

In a personal meeting, by e-mail or on the phone we discuss with you all aspects you would like to see in your new horse. When we have a complete description of the horse you are looking for we start the search and send you pictures and video’s of the horses that are available.

Meanwhile we start planning your trip. We will also go over the costs of your trip and of transporting the horse to your home. Each of the steps will be discussed in advance of travel.Planning your trip: We’ll take care of the coordination from A-Z First of all you will have to decide if, when and for how long you can go to the Netherlands. We will help arrange your flights, hotel, transportation from the airport and if you wish, a rental car or transportation to one of the many horse shows. Finding a Horse: See a selection of horses that meet your requirements Once in Holland Tiny or Miranda (our Dutch colleagues) will take you to several stables where you will see the horses that meet you requirements. We take care of all appointments so that you can ride many horses per day and in the end still have time to see the ones you liked most again! Transportation to the US or world wide: We’ll arrange for vets, plane and quarantine We will arrange for the health certificate and blood samples that are required by US law. We arrange for transportation to the airport and from Holland to the USA. We also take care of the paperwork for quarantine in New York, Miami, Toronto and other major US ports.
