"We wish to offer a glowing testimonial and heartfelt thank-you to Stefan and the entire German Horse Center team for a simply outstanding process, service, and result, in our finding our fantastic new jumper! We have found out from experience that GHC is the very best way to buy a horse in Germany, and we highly recommend them!

Professionalism: Stefan and the team have created a very unique and personalized experience for the entire family. Everything (and I do mean everything) was taken care of for us and the experience was more than just first rate horse shopping; it was a great vacation too!  Stefan is a tireless professional with working out all the details of the trip before you travel. He answered so many questions, is very flexible with family, and was a fantastic tour guide.

Language is no barrier at all as Stefan and everyone else we encountered spoke great English. The accommodations we stayed at were all set up based on the specific horses we selected for riding and Stefan customized this to the best use of time and our liking. We just cannot convey enough how excellent GHC was through the entire process.

Quality & Value: GHC has assembled the finest group of breeders and partners we have seen to provide a wide range of excellent horses to meet every need. The quality of horses we rode at the GHC partners was outstanding. The GHC website did a wonderful job with information and videos on each candidate and each horse we visited was just as advertised in the website. We were not disappointed in any of the horses we rode. The big advantage to a U.S. rider to horse shopping in Germany is the large number of top quality horses at several different partners keeps prices reasonable. Price transparency is also appreciated. We knew the price for each horse before we rode them.

Unmatched Selection: To find the right horse for a serious rider involves matching on many different levels. To do it right, you need to first start with a large number of excellent candidate horses to choose from. The GHC process excels in this and we started with over 43 potential Geldings that met our needs. We planned our trip to ride the best 15 and we narrowed that down to 4 we really loved by the third day. The biggest problem we faced was picking only one. But after this process we confidently know we obtained the very best jumper and match for our rider.

Trainer:  When our trainer could not attend the trip, Stefan helped us hire a trainer for the horse riding and selection process. Mr. Franz was simply fantastic working with our daughter and helping us evaluate every aspect of each horse we rode and assuring a perfect match. The trainers in Germany are schooled in the profession and that made a significant difference. There was consistency in the discipline. He was so good, we attempted to import him as well!

New Friends: On our trip with Stefan and Franz to ride the different horses, we had so many great times, staying in castles, visiting museums, investigating the beer gardens, and seeing the wonderful sights. We made this into a family event, even Grandma came along, and Stefan and team were the perfect hosts. Germany is such a fantastic historic and friendly place. Everyone is always smiling. I would not hesitate to recommend the GHC to other riders for their next new horse. Even after the purchase, we keep in touch with the GHC team. They were fantastic, and we look forward to visiting again and repeating this process!

So many thanks for a tremendous effort and a tremendous horse!"
