Xzander

Hi Dawn, just to say thank you for finding my beautiful horse Xzander, he is loved and adored by everyone, as a superstar should be, his temprement is second to none as expected from his nimmidor/luckyboy lines, and his extended trot to die for! Judge David Trott thinks he will go far and international dressage trainer Pat Manning would like to take him home! (she has no chance)! Thanks for finding such great horses, that unfamous professional (poor) riders and instructors that work in the industry, can just about afford. I have and will keep recomending people to you as not only are you honest, you do your best to put the right horses with the right people with never any preasure to buy. Shame theres not more people in the horse world like you, it would be a better place! Sorry its not a great picture of Xzander, but he did win the class, thanks again and will see you again as you will always be worth driving 3hrs to see, love Vanessa X


Parani

Hi its Suzie, my dad bought Parani from you in May and i just wanted to let you know how we are gettin on.
We have done two dressage competitions and we won our first one and the second competition was the pony club area team and our team got second. I actually like doing dressage now that i have him.
He loves x-country, he has been schooling round the pre-novice fences at Auchinleck Estate and Barskimming Estate and we are entering our first competition in August which i am looking forward to. He is proving to be very bold and very keen, the one thing we love the most about him is that he will try his hardest at anything. His showjumping is coming on, i didn't realise how excited he gets while jumping, he is great! We entered a mini derby which was a new experienced for him and he jumped so well. Even in the stable he is fantastic, he will stand all day just for his cuddles. Everyone loves him and he is auch a nice wee character." Suzie and Paraini

ROO-BAR

"My equestrian sport is FEI Carriage Driving 3 day Eventing.  I have been searching unsuccessfully for two years for a small horse with suitably extravagant paces to work with my existing carriage horse Custer. My problem is very unusual and not many people have to consider their existing horse when purchasing another and it isn't easy!! Dawn provided a personalized service; she was very careful to listen and even viewed a video of my horse. Roo-Bar is a handsome bright bay gelding who moves beautifully and although I have only had him for a short time but he is proving kind, bold and extremely intelligent. To my delight Roo-Bar and Custers paces match perfectly which is something I thought I may never find. I had spoken to dealers from all over the UK, and no-one was prepared to go out of their way to help me find a suitable horse, and Dawn's attitude was you can buy what I've got or keep visiting me until something comes in that you like so in that respect her approach to my problem was very different." Roo-Bar and Kathy

 

WARRIOR

     

"Just a note say thank you for finding Warrior.He has proved to be a perfect gentleman, both in the stable and when ridden, he is very willing to learn and enjoys his schooling, he has learned a lot in a short space of time and is also proving very popular on the yard with everyone." Patrica & Warrior.

 

HUMPHREY

    

"We had been looking for a horse for my husband for over a year when we spotted Dawn Howarth's advert. Although it was a long drive to get there, she seemed so open and friendly that we decided to make the effort - and wow! and was it worthwhile! We saw and tried some lovely horses and finally bought Piccolo II (Humphrey) a gorgeous black Dutch horse with super paces, a huge jump and exemplary manners. There was nothing on Dawn's yard we didn't like; all the horses and looks, manners and talent; we could happily bought any of them. What we liked - apart from the quality stock - was Dawn's easy approach. We were never put never put under pressure and she encouraged us to try the horses several times. She was more concerned to find us the right horse than make a quick sale or persuade us to buy the most expensive horse there. I'm delighted for my husband who has had some bad times with one horse lost to permanent lameness and another to colic. Humphrey has made up for the disappointments and we are thrilled with him. I would unhesitatingly recommend Dawn to anyone ( actually, we already have as everyone wants to know where he came from!), and would certainly make the trek back there if we ever want another horse"
Dick & Jenny

PEZO

     

"Thank you for finding me 'Pezzo' he is exactly what you described him to be, and is proving to be a superstar; we've been to our first competition and we won our section and can second overall! Once again thanks for finding him for me, and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone."  Nicky & Pezzo

      

SENALOR

"I am so pleased with Senalor, bought from you at the end of last year (2003). Even though he was only 4 when I bought him, he has the most fabulous temperament and attitude and as he matures he is becoming an absolutely stunning looking horse. He is showing huge natural ability in his showjumping, having won a Discovery class in only his second affiliated show followed by a 4th the following day in his first Newcomers class. He has also qualified for the 5 year old Sports Horse final in a recent outing. We have great hopes for him in the future as he improves every time he competes."Julie Edge

MICKEY

"Mickey - AKA POLINDO - proved to be everything we wanted and more. I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with Mickey. He was never out of the first three in unaffiliated SJ this winter and was recently 2nd in his first BSJA outing. He has also completed his first British Eventing Pre Novice Event. Unfortunately due to a broken ankle I had to pass the ride over to a friend and now I am struggling to get him back!!!! He is a cheeky monkey and we love him to bits, its like he knows he is so georgeous." Alison Gray
