BUSINESS STATEMENT - HORSES FOR SALE

At Reed Equestrian Australia a core part of our business is sourcing competition/sport horses for clients in Australia and overseas.

Australia consistently produces quality and world-class competition and sport horses either from professional sport horse breeders or through the Thoroughbred Racehorse Industry (which is a huge industry particularly in South Australia with the likes of the Hayes family and the famous Lindsay Park Thoroughbred Stud).

Apart from competition horses, we are also skilled in sourcing riding school hacks and ponies for international clients. Over the past ten years we have assisted several reputable riding schools overseas with quality horses for their equestrian establishments. The types of horses exported have included; educated child’s mounts, RDA horses and ponies, all-rounders and pony club mounts, as well as those with formal dressage, showjumping or eventing experience.

We pride ourselves on making available a selection of suitable horses that fit the criteria set by the client. This includes age, height, colour, temperament, performance and price. In our assessment for selection we also make a professional appraisal on what level they are possible of reaching.

Having a network of agents that we work closely with in Australia and overseas, gives us the capability to  make qualified assessments and verify all information and performances provided on any competition horse offered for sale here in Australia and most overseas.

We are experienced in assisting all clients with the selection, trial and purchase of their new competition horses of any level from novice through to Olympic Games standard.

On behalf of the client we can manage the entire purchase process starting with the collection of DVD footage; organise itinerary, flights & accommodation;  coordinate the trialling of horses; arrange the pre-purchase veterinary examination; organise insurance and transport as required, all the way through to booking quarantine and shipping placements if required.

Notwithstanding our strive for improvement, our success in this business over the years has come from having an outstanding reputation in delivering a professional, comprehensive and personal service to all clients, with a genuine interest in the after-sale progress and performance of each horse.

It has not only been a pleasure, but an honour to be directly involved in the sale of many successful competition horses over the years, some of world-class standard. These horses have been exported to countries such as Germany, Hong Kong,  Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA to name a few. 

Jennifer Lee of Hong Kong riding Mr Burns at an Olympic Games Qualifying event in Spain. Jennifer’s qualification gained her selection on the Hong Kong Showjumping Team for the 2008 Olympic Games. Unfortunately due to an injury, Mr Burns was withdrawn from the team at the last minute. Although this must have been devastating for Jennifer, she has to be thrilled with her qualification – something that most other riders can only dream about.
Charlie Cronin of the USA riding Janeil’s Encore at an event in Vermont. This was the second horse purchased by the Cronin family which stayed in our yard to compete for around 12 months. The first horse they purchased, On Trak went to Singapore for a while for Charlie to compete on before coming to our yard.  Both horses eventually moved to the USA from Adelaide when the family’s work commitments took them back home. This photo is of Charlie and Janeils Encore competing in the USA.
Marylene Masson of Singapore riding PS Lucia over jumps. The Masson family of Singapore purchased this talented warmblood performance mare late in 2009 for the whole family to enjoy. Pascale and her daughters Marylene and Josephine will all share the riding on this versatile horse in showjumping and dressage competitions. We wish them every success.
Kenneth Cheng of Hong Kong riding Jaybee Schultz This photo of Jaybee Schultz (now deceased) was taken at the Australian Showjumping Championships back in December 2004.  Kenneth has since gone on to not only train and successfully compete in Europe, but he rode in the Hong Kong Showjumping Team at the 2008 Olympic Games. What an achievement!       Photo Peter Brookman
