"My experience with German Horse Center was nothing other than a great one. The help and guidance that I received was the best that I could of imagined. In return I found my dream horse that exceeded my expectations.
I put my trust in them as I could not fly over to try her and she was everything they said she was and even more. Would highly recommend them to help find the best horses!"
Rachel, Berlin, Deutschland
"It was very easy finding a perfect horse partner with GHC. I told Stefan what I was looking for, and he put together an itinerary for me. I visited 4 stables. I was impressed with the quality of the horses in every stable; the horses ranged from young 3 year olds to more experienced 9 year olds.
I fell for a handsome, calm Hanoverian who has wonderful gaits. I would never have found this breeder on my own, so I believe if you are in search of the perfect horse partner, whatever your discipline, you will find it with Stefan’s help."

In der heutigen Welt ist es nicht schwierig, Sportpferde bspw. auch auf digitalem Wege zu finden. Es gibt viele Plattformen, Anbieter und Börsen. Leider benötigt man heutzutage auch deutlich mehr Zeit, um aus der großen Anzahl tatsächlich passende und geeignete Pferde herauszufinden.
Das German Horse Center war bei unserer Suche nach einem geeigneten Springpferd genau der professionelle Partner, der eine effiziente und zielführende Suche ermöglicht. Mit unserem Verdi haben wir das eine Pferd aus vielen Pferden finden können, das perfekt "passt". Wir sind sehr glücklich und auch bereits erfolgreich mit unserem Verdi. Vielen Dank an das Team vom German Horse Center für die hervorragende Unterstützung vor, während und auch nach der Suche.

"Searching for a horse can be an intimidating process which is why we are so thankful and so happy to have found the German Horse Center! Not only did they help us to find the perfect horse, yet they made the journey there easy, simple, and enjoyable.
They GHC took care of all details including meeting us at the airport, arranging a car, pre-booking hotels, taking us to eat at nice restaurants (in beautiful locations!), and even visiting a tack shop. The whole process of finding a horse was completely stress-free and actually very fun! In addition, we were delighted that Stefan and Tanja took time to meet us for tea and talk about our experience. They are truly so kind!
All the horses I tried were absolutely fantastic and it was clear to see the remarkable training behind them all. I felt honored even to be able to ride so many incredible horses each of the three days, each horse matched very well with what I was looking for. Every partner we visited was helpful and honest. In fact, throughout the entire process the GHC dealt with everything in a sincere, organized, and honest manner, always updating us and being upfront about prices. In the end, it was a tough decision between three outstanding young horses.
After a quick and smooth vetting process, Champ arrived safety and is settled in at home in New York. Champ has now been with us for a month so far and not only has he become a barn favorite, yet he has only improved since I first rode him in Germany. It is remarkable that, as a six-year-old, Champ is confident, talented, and kind to his rider, always making up for my errors. The jumps come easily to him (as he is very scopey!), and even though it has only been a month so far, I have already learned so much and gain confidence and experience with every ride. I am truly so happy with him as there is not a horse out there more perfectly suited to what I was looking for! Moreover, Jens Wawrauschek, Champ's stable partner, and Stefan have made themselves available to answer all my questions even after the purchasing process and are always very open and communicative to ensure all is going well with Champ.
As Champ was part of the Frank Madden collection for the US, we were thrilled to spend a complimentary weekend with Frank to take lessons. In addition to being an incredibly successful and talented trainer, Frank and his family were warm and welcoming. His training was very helpful in allowing me to get to know Champ better and shaped our way to being successful in the future. Thank you!
Our experience with the German Horse Center has truly been one of a kind, and I absolutely recommend the center to anyone who is looking for their next horse! I am so excited to see what the future will bring with Champ as I head off to college with him!"
Susan, Florida, Apollo Beach, USA
"Domenico is our third horse we have purchased in Germany. The German Horse Center had the best selection of dressage horses that were honestly represented, possessing both excellent breeding, and temperament. My 18 year old daughter & I both loved a well trained, handsome and talented young Hanoverian. He has a sweet disposition & is amateur friendly.
Our gold medalist trainer in Florida was thrilled with our new boy & was impressed with his training, his gaits and his temperament. Stefan coordinated the veterinarian, the sale and the shipping with ease. We could not have not been more pleased with The German Horse Center and Domenico."
Jane, Vancouver, Kanada
"It has been 2 1/2 years since we bought Guido through the German Horse Centre. He has been a dream come true and just gets better every day. Thank you again for helping us find him."
Jill, Trainer, Fort Lupton, Colorado, USA
"I just wanted to share some pictures of Nugget learning to be an American show horse. He is doing well. He won his first amateur class out of 25 horses. Thanks again for sending him to us!"
Natali, Ukraine
"Everything is ok, thank you! I’m in the Ukraine now. But me and Clarido have already jumped few national competitions in Germany. There were good rounds. I didn’t try to ride fast because I wanted to understand him a little bit better.
I’m so thankful that your organization helped me to found the really good horse!"
Vanessa, Iserlohn, Deutschland
"Mit unserer neuen Stute Bon Voyage haben wir einen echten Glücksgriff gemacht. Schon beim ersten Probereiten war für uns klar, dass sie das richtige Pferd für uns ist. So konnten wir uns auch nach wenigen Wochen direkt in einem 1,25 m Springen platzieren. Wir sind super glücklich mit ihr!
Daher auch nochmal ein großes Dankeschön an GHC für die schnelle und problemlose Abwicklung und das bestehende Interesse nach dem Verkauf! Da hat man wirklich sofort ein gutes Gefühl! Danke!"
Update - vier Wochen später: Mehrfach siegreich in M* und M** sowie S* platziert.

"I fell in love with Frodo 5 year old Akhal Teke the day I seen him advertised by the German Horse Center. I wanted something small fun and full of character that is definitely him. Hoping to do some eventing this season & have lots of fun we have already won classes in dressage & show jumping. The GHC was a pleasure to deal with in all ways, Really easy planning the trip over to view him to getting full vetting with x-rays & first class shipping all the way to the uk. Thank you to Stefan & Julia. If I'm ever looking for a new horse to join the team I will definitely call GHC."
Ulrike, Ehing, Deutschland
"Unsere 13-jährige Tochter ist mit der erst 7-jährigen Stute, die sehr brav ist und bereits mit Noten 7,8 gewertet wurden, super happy und springt von Erfolg zu Erfolg!
Die Reise war super gut organisiert, so viele Pferde zu sehen und auszuprobieren zu können, war eine super Leistung.
In ihr steckt viel Potential und wir werden schauen, dass sie von uns gefördert wird.
Danke an Stefan Kreutz für das Finden dieses Pferdes. Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön gilt dem Partner-Ausbildungsstall Philipp Baumgart, der mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl und hoher Kompetenz das richtige Gespür bei der Auswahl dieses Pferdes für uns bewiesen hat, sowie dem ausgezeichneten Service von German Horse Center.
Familie Ganzenmüller"

"Second show for Quando and I last sunday. We came 2nd out of 45 riders...one stupid mistake (by me,) in a medium trot cost us first place...but I am soooooo happy."
Shannon, Südkalifornien, USA
"I went on a horse shopping trip in Germany in November 2017, looking for a young hunter prospect.
I found the German Horse Center website and saw many quality horses of interest to me.
When I reached out to the Center, I was contacted by Stefan. He was amazing, from start to finish. He lined up all of the horses for me to see and made a detailed itinerary for the short trip I had planned - I only had a couple of days. I even had to change my itinerary and he happily rescheduled the appointments.
Every location I went to was beautiful. The horse sellers were all kind and easy to communicate with. Trying the horses was organized and punctual. When I found the horse I ultimately purchased, a 4 year old Holsteiner, Stefan handled all of my needs in the most professional and prompt way. All X-rays and vet checks were handled in an expeditious way. Once I was back in the states, Stefan sent me all videos I requested and the seller made videos especially for me that I requested. The export and flying of the horse to California was seamless.
My horse, now named "First Look", arrived in late December 2017. Since then, I have shown him at 5 major California A-rated shows with Nick Haness riding. He has been Champion 3 times in the Young Hunters and Reserve Champion twice (in his first two shows). He is showing with a junior next week. He is an amazing horse and I am so very happy with my purchase and the experience I had with German Horse Center. Thank you Stefan for everything!"

"About GHC:
Allison, Richmond, Virginia, USA
"We came across the German Horse Center while looking for a young horse to import for the Hunter discipline, and had a great experience start to finish. Due to time constraints and the cost of traveling to Europe, we chose to purchase Nora via videos and phone conversations. The GHC and their partner were fabulous to work with. Our American agent happened to already know the GHC partner so we felt very comfortable with their representation of Nora. They sent us multiple videos, photos, called me on the phone several times and worked very closely with us during the vetting and importing process.
Nora arrived to us in Richmond, VA USA and was everything the GHC represented to us. She was purchased to be an Adult/Amateur Hunter horse and is very amateur friendly. Her ground manners are flawless, her conformation is good, and she has a very willing attitude to do her job. She is very brave to the fences, automatic lead changes, very comfortable to ride and is only getting better and better. The professional that helps train her has also really enjoyed riding her. I am able to take lessons and ride her outside of the ring as well. Overall she is a good quality horse and is learning her job very quickly. We have taken her to several horse shows and she continues to improve every time she steps in the ring. She is also a very pretty mover and has placed very high in her flat classes as well received ribbons jumping.
Hyke, Lemmer, Niederlande
"Thanks GHC for finding my dream horse. I am really very happy with Camaxima and could not have wished for a better horse, because everything is right with her. She is with me now for only three months and we are already jumping at 1.30 level with some good results. She is very cooperative and jumps amazing!
Sigourney, Trainer, Costa Mesa, Kalifornien, USA
"Rose is doing wonderful and competing at the A circuit in the 6 yr old young hunter’s. She’s such a sweet horse and we are having so much fun with her. I couldn’t be happier! Thanks!!"
Laurie, Florida, USA
"Thank you GHC for helping me find my amazing new horse. Although my top 3 picks had been sold by the time I arrived, Stefan, with his numerous contacts, was able to arrange new prospects for me to try that weren't even listed on the website.
I truly believe things happen for a reason and the first horse I sat on ended up being my favorite.
Needless to say, Gustav arrived to my home in South Florida just a couple weeks later and I could not be happier. He adjusted quickly and I started showing him at WEF almost immediately. With top placings in the 1.15 classes, we will be moving up to the 1.20 classes next week. His show record in Germany is crazy good up to 1.40 so we have lots of room to grow together.
If you are looking for a top horse at a reasonable price than GHC is your best bet! Thank you GHC!"
Ixchel, Del Mar, Kalifornien, USA
“I cannot recommend the German Horse Center enough!
When my family and I set out to find the perfect Junior Jumper for my 13 year-old daughter, we were told to go to Holland as our barn usually does. However, we wanted to try something new and we found the German Horse Center online.
From the start, their staff was incredibly helpful, very focused on appropriate fit for the rider, and answered all inquiries truthfully and accurately. We booked the guided service and they provided us with a very detailed tour itinerary and even had our rental car and hotel reservations taken care of. They drove us to stables that offered exceptional horses at VERY appropriate prices and they even filmed for us so that we could focus on the horses. After watching our rider, some of the partners offered others to try that weren’t in the GHC catalog, so don’t think you are necessarily limited to what is noted online.
Historically, when I have tried horses, there has been a clear top pick. Not the case here. We were literally stuck between 4 horses of the 18 we tried over our 2 days (all 18 were amazing, by the way).
Once we finally made our selection, all arrangements from having him vetted to getting him delivered to our barn in California were EXPERTLY handled by all involved. Yesterday, our boy arrived in perfect condition, happy as can be! We look forward to his sport career and look forward to visiting the GHC for our next horse.

Your professionalism is outstanding and it was a true pleasure doing business with you.

Ps. We already collected two ribbons:) "
Cynthia, Boulder, Colorado, USA
"I am so grateful to The German Horse Center for selling me my absolute dream horse!
Clooney arrived this past June and he is just spectacular. We did several clinics and horse shows over the Summer and he is always in the ribbons in both the hunter and equitation ring. He earned several blues, as well as Champion and Reserve throughout the show season.
The German Horse Center was a delight to work with-from shopping off video, to vetting and shipping-every step was easy and enjoyable. Clooney arrived exactly as described-sound, handsome, kind, patient, athletic and most importantly, a confidence giver. He has taught me so much in the few short months I’ve owned him. I look forward to a lifetime of success and companionship with this horse. I can’t say enough good about my positive experience with The German Horse Center. I highly recommend using them for your next horse purchase. You won’t be disappointed.

"Easy Turn is now in quarantine on her way back to Australia.
Easy Turn has come along wonderfully well in the short time we've had her. I'm very excited about her future. She had 2 starts at BE 100 with great results.
Thanks for putting us together and hopefully we can find some more nice horses like her. "
Victoria, Washington, USA
"Both horses are doing well and we are very happy with them. German Horse Center was incredibly helpful every step of the way. I highly recommend them. Daniel Ramseier (the dealer) was great to work with as well."

Er gewann beide seiner Klassen in Training Test Level 1 & 2, und war Gesamtsieger des Turniers unter den von Berufsreitern gerittenen Pferden.
Wir sind sehr stolz auf ihn!"

“I recently purchased my future partner in the dressage arena through German Horse Center…and honestly I just could not be happier. I opted for the full service and was accompanied by a very knowledgeable and super nice team member who drove me around to the different venues, translated for me when needed, filmed me trying the horses and kept the schedule running smoothly. I was very touched by the warm welcome, quality of service and felt so comfortable.
I did not expect to find my next horse so quickly, but German Horse Center understood my requirements and were spot on with their suggestions. I met Quando Hit and it was like this horse had been waiting for me…
The whole process went so smoothly from trying him out twice, to the vet check, to the purchase and finally to the transport to Switzerland.
Within 10 days of having first tried him, Quando Hit travelled to his new home in Switzerland, to the beautiful area by the Leman lake. He’s settled in so well and has charmed all his stable mates!
We have a gorgeous future ahead of us and I am so grateful.
To conclude, I may highly recommend German Horse Center’s services and expertise as its simply German efficiency at its utmost best!”
Jane, Los Angeles, Kalifornien, USA
"I purchased gentleman from you approximately a month ago and just wanted to thank you for this amazing horse. In the past two years I had purchased two horses in the States and they were both unmitigated disasters. What I was looking for in the US was out of my price range so for my third attempt I decided to purchase overseas and found "Manny" on your website.
I purchased him off video because I couldn't afford a trip to Germany and hoped for the best. When Carl from quarantine called to tell me he had arrived and described him as a "lovely bugger" and "cool as a cucumber," I felt a lot better. After picking him up and before riding him, I was elated. He's calm, beautiful and incredibly sweet. Everybody in my barn went crazy over him and my trainer told me two people wanted to buy him within the first week of his arrival.
Manny is amazing under saddle. He's incredibly honest and straightforward. He loves jumping and is always determined to get to the other side. His long stride and rhythmic canter instill confidence and make jumping easy. He is definitely green and we're working on his flatwork but he's a quick learner and has made incredible progress. Most importantly, he's very forgiving and doesn't hold it against me when I make mistakes.
I started riding again two years ago during chemotherapy after a twenty-five year hiatus. My cancer prognosis was very grim and I wanted to be around horses again before I died. Most days I was so weak from my treatments that the barn had to tack up the lesson horse for me and I would walk around the arena a few times and get off. But I feel like that small interaction with horses were key to my surviving chemotherapy and surgery and I've been cancer-free ever since. Manny is my reward for all my heartache and determination to not give up ... both in riding and in life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Manny's owners and trainers. He's obviously been loved and well cared for. And thank you to German Horse Center for making it so easy to find and purchase this wonderful horse.”
Update drei Wochen später:
" Two additional Things I want to add regarding Gentleman.
Number one, when my vet examined him upon his arrival, he was extremely pleased with his condition. He said he's seen a lot of horses arrive from Europe in poor condition ... underweight, teeth need floating, etc. Not the case with Gentleman.
Secondly, Gentleman completed his first show this weekend in the States and won three firsts and one third.
I am so proud of him and excited for our future together. Thanks again for helping me find this amazing horse."
Alexa, Trainer, Jamesville, New York, USA
"Ponticello, reserve champion and a class winner at his first horse show!
Lord Armitage, a high performance hunter.
We couldn't be happier with the three horses you have sent us! Im sure I will be back for a new request soon!"
Denise, Lynchburg, Virginia, USA
"Stefan (and all the German Horse Center partners), As I look at this picture I'm reminded again of the wonderful experience we had purchasing Lizzy. While it has only been a few months, rider and coach continue to be amazed by her athleticism and intelligence.
We fell in love with her in Germany and love her more everyday. What a gift she has been already!
Thank you all for assisting us with the process, providing us access to such wonderful horses, and partnering with us throughout the purchase process. You made something that initially felt like the impossible become a reality!
Forever thankful!
Denise (and Grace) Slaff "

"I am the owner of Lady Rhapsodie, and I am just writing to you to tell something about Lady Rhapsodie.
She is doing really well, and the news is that we were at a competition of young horses on the half of March.
Lady Rhapsodie and I came the first in the competition with 70.18 %. I was very happy and proud of her.
She learns fast and I am happy to ride her.
In April we will go to another competition in the same level, so I hope that she will be that clever as she was at her first competition with me".

"Nachdem ich schon einige Zeit auf der Suche nach einem gut ausgebildeten, braven und großen Dressurwallach war, fand ich eher durch Zufall die Website des GHC.
Auf dieser gefiel mir ein sechsjähriger Fuchswallach besonders gut, der sehr ansprechend auf Bildern und in einem kurzen Video präsentiert wurde.
Innerhalb weniger Tage wurde vom GHC ein Termin mit der Besitzerin organisiert, und bereits eine Woche später holten wir Friedrich ab. Die Organisation seitens GHC lief völlig reibungslos und sehr zügig ab.
Der schöne Wallach ist rittig, talentiert, hat ein super Temperament und bereitet mir bisher nur Freude.
Ich würde mich jederzeit wieder an das GHC wenden, die neben einer guten Auswahl auch eine ansprechende und informative Präsentation der Pferde zeigen."
Alexa, Trainer, Jamesville, New York, USA
"I am happy to share that we are loving our most recent import from the German Horse Center named Cessino.
We call him "Cino" for short now! I have just recently returned from spending several weeks showing at a circuit in Florida. Unfortunately, Cino was imported just before I was scheduled to leave. I was able to spend just over a week with him before I left and I was so impressed with the geldings kind and willing manner.
It is so refreshing to be working with a horse that I can tell had a lovely start and foundation. Upon returning a few days ago, I was thrilled to come back and see a relaxed young horse trotting around the arena with his new teenage owner already expressing a great bond with him. He got a glowing report during my absence.
This is all not possible without the German Horse Center's dedication to producing and presenting quality horses. This is our second horse from your organization and I am once again looking forward to the future success! We plan to have him make his horse show debut at the end of this month. I will be sure to check back with the report!
Thank you again for your company's professionalism and honesty! Once again I feel as though I have received a horse that has exceeded my expectations. I have another scheduled to be here this week and can't wait to meet him as well! Cheers to future business!"
Jane, Vancouver, Kanada
"Guido has settled in well and has captured the hearts of everyone in Southlands.
He is so kind and willing - real gentle giant. Southlands is not the easiest place for a young horse because we walk on roads to and from the club, so the horses have to deal with traffic, construction, dogs, umbrellas, wildlife flying in and out of ditches, and so on. Guido has handled it all like a real star. While he has baby moments they are always a result of high spirits or momentary fright, which he quickly overcomes, and they are few and far between.
Guido and I are enjoying learning together in our new partnership under the direction of our trainer Robyn Hunt and have an exciting first year of shows starting in late April. He is an amazing boy to jump - very brave and always trying his best to understand. With his lovely gaits and cadence, we are certain he will be a natural for the hunter ring. We will keep you posted on our progress.
I attach a recent picture of Guido taken at his stable. As you can see, he is fit and well and happy.
Thank you so much to Jens and German Horse Centre for helping me find my new partner. I could not be happier."
Jenn, Park City, Utah, USA
"I had a terrific experience with Stefan and the German Horse Center!
They were extremely professional and easy to work with. Their horses are incredible! Stefan scheduled all of my appointments, and I came home as the proud new owner of Mr. Socke!
All of the facilities were top notch, and all of the horses that I saw exceeded my expectations. The trainers and horses were all very talented and well trained. I had high expectations for my visit, and Stefan certainly met and exceeded them all. The import process was simple, and Stefan had all of the connections needed to ensure confidence and a smooth transition for Socke.
I’ve now had Socke for a month, and he’s been such a joy. He’s so talented, and I can’t wait to begin showing him this spring. I give Stefan and the people at the German Horse Center my gratitude and my highest recommendation for anyone looking to purchase a world class horse.
Sincerely, Jenn Haglin and Socke

Alison, Laytonsville, Maryland, USA
"Dear Stefan and Tanja,
Thank you both for finding my wonderful horse, Cooper. He's been with us for about four months and is an absolute joy.
It was so important to me to find a young prospect who would make up into an amateur friendly horse- not only to ride, but also kind on the ground. Cooper is everything we could have hoped for and more! Everyone at my barn loves Cooper because he is so kind and social.
Since his arrival, we took Cooper on several field trips to get used to the trailer and horse shows. Stefan assured me Cooper was straightforward to handle, and he's been exactly that- remarkably well behaved for a young horse.
At his first schooling show he went right in the ring and jumped around, and today at his first rated horse show he was champion in the baby greens, winning a class over fences and the hack. We are so thankful that he has such a great mind and laid back disposition!
Our experience with the German Horse Center was top notch.
From evaluating which horse to purchase, to vetting and shipping, the whole process was very smooth. Stefan was wonderful about answering my questions, sending additional video, and always responding promptly.
The experience was so positive that a second person from my barn purchased a young prospect through you a month after we got Cooper. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you in the future!
Thanks again for working with us to find such a special horse."
Neil, Derbyshire, Großbritannien
"I would like to thank you for arranging our trip to Germany looking for a new horse for my daughter.
Every aspect of the trip was very well organised from the moment we picked up the rental car at the airport until we returned it on the way home.Most importantly though, all the Partners we visited were very welcoming and helpful. Each of them listened carefully to what we were looking for before suggesting two or three horses for my daughter to try.
We were impressed with all of the horses and our only complaint was that it made it very hard to decide between them!
With help though from Franz, our Independent Advisor, we were able to decide on the perfect horse for our daughter and returned home very happy."
Liz, Clarksville, Tennesse, USA
"Hello! Thanks for following up on how Santinos is doing. In one word…..WONDERFUL!!
We absolutely love this horse.
My daughter, Lauren, who is 12 years old has been riding him almost every day. He is a kind horse with a great brain. Lauren and Santinos have already bonded and become a great team. He has been to one horse show where he performed very well. He was calm and well behaved. He is very willing to jump and is an amazing mover.
We can’t thank you enough for helping us to get this horse. Everyone at German Horse Center was great to communicate with. His transport was smooth and easy.
We would definitely recommend others to use your facility. Thanks again for such a wonderful horse and purchase experience."

"Liebes GHC-Team,
durch eine Verkaufsanzeige auf Ihrem Portal gelangten wir damals, durch Ihre Übermittlung, an den renommierten Zucht- u Sporthof Gerd Sosath.
Herr Gerd und Tochter Janne Sosath haben uns sehr gut beraten und sich sehr bemüht ein für uns passendes und unseren Wünschen entsprechendes Pferd vorzustellen.
So haben wir unseren Traumwallach gefunden.
Auf diesem Weg möchten wir uns nochmals ganz herzlich bei Ihnen, Frau Tanja Uredat und Herr Stefan Kreutz, bedanken.
Herzliche Grüße, Familie Herget"
Lauren, Jamison, Pennsylvania, USA
"Our experience with the German Horse Center was excellent.
The facilities we visited and the horses we saw were all top-notch...but as soon as I saw/rode Foreolan, AKA Rio, the search was over.
From scheduling the multiple trial rides, to the vetting and the shipping, GHC was there to help me bring Rio home with me to Pennsylvania.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me find "my horse of a lifetime" We are really developing a great partnership, and I'm looking forward to the 2017 show season!
I recommend the GHC, specially Stefan Kreutz, to EVERYONE, and if there is another horse in my future, I will definitely be using your services again."
Heidi, Flachau, Österreich - Trainierbuchung Dries van Peer
"Ich darf mich bei Ihnen recht herzlich für das wirklich grandiose Wochenende mit Herrn van Peer bedanken, alles ist perfekt gelaufen, tolle Organisation von Ihnen, und sie hatten wirklich ein Händchen bei der Auswahl des Reittrainers, also besser hätte es ja gar nicht passen können.
Eine Ewigkeit treten wir auf einer Stelle, und nach nur einem Wochenende - Dries hatte mich schon nach einer Stunde durchschaut und sämtliche Antworten auf meine Problemchen parat - ist das Reiten auf einmal so logisch, und gar nicht mehr kompliziert.
Und das Beste daran,….es funktioniert immer noch, selbes System – selbe Reaktion, ist noch ausbaufähig, jedoch um Welten besser. Habe schon geglaubt, ich hab ein anderes Pferd?
Auf jeden Fall bin ich sehr glücklich wie es gelaufen ist, weil es uns sehr viel weitergebracht hat auf unserem Weg. Und sollte ich sie jemals persönlich treffen, darf ich sie ganz fest drücken.
Herzlichst Heidi & Bizzi"

"I bought my horse Lord Armitage from German Horse Center and I couldn't be happier!
He has helped me step back into the jumper ring and showing in 1.15 classes with room to go higher.
Lord Armitage or otherwise known as "Sven" has also competed in National Hunter Derbies and Equitation classes as he can be the master of all trades.
Sven is the ultimate confidence builder with the best personality and tries his hardest every time.
German Horse Center does an awesome job and I will definitely be buying another horse from them in the future!!"
Julie, East Sussex, Großbritannien
"During my entire experience from my initial contact and telephone discussion with Stefan and the team at the German Horse Centre right through to the arrival of our lovely young mare in the UK every detail and concern was dealt with professionally and with sincerity.
I travelled to Germany in February of this year and spent a wonderful weekend riding 8 well bred young dressage prospects. It was an absolute privilege to meet and ride at the home of some of the GHC breeder/partnerships. The horses were all well presented to me and their video performances on the website were extremely reliable.
I eventually settled on a wonderful rising 4 year old Hanoverian mare who not only exudes talent but is just the sweetest and most. sociable horse we have ever met. She is quite simply a joy to have at home and has fitted into our small yard so well that we regularly have to remind ourselves of her young age.
She loves her training but equally enjoys riding out or relaxing in the paddock. We plan to continue to build on our new partnership and begin competing this autumn.
I would definitely recommend GHC to anyone looking for a quality horse and I can guarantee some wonderful 'horse tour' memories!
Thank you again GHC for enabling me to find my dream horse!"
Zsófia, Gyál, Ungarn
"Everything is fine with us, Lady Rhapsodie arrived safely and healthy. She is a wonderful and really kind horse! We had our first training under saddle today and everything went like when I tried her. Every day she is eating carrots after work. During the weekend we started to build our relationship and she moved a bit in circles.
By the way I had a wonderful experience with GHC! I think this team that you have is professional. First of all I am really satisfied with the work, patience, kindness of Stefan. We had innumerable e-mails during the organization and he explained every detail exactly and understandable! I never had an experience with buying a horse abroad, so at the beginning I was too prudent, but after experiencing the perfect organization of GHC I was much more relaxed. I was surprised completely when Stefan sent me that horse tour document with every detail, because I never thought that your team will do everything in my place.
I would like to thank you a lot that I have found my dream horse! She is beautiful and sweet! Now we are on the way to go up and up in dressage. "

"I would highly recommend the German Horse Center as a liaison for importing a horse from Germany.
The GHC was extremely professional, punctual and ensured that the selection and import process was smooth and transparent.
I love our new mare and look forward to the partnership she will form with my daughter."
Miriam, Prag, Tschechien
"I just wanted to get in touch and let you know how things are going in Prague.
We are doing well, and Chicago RA, the horse we found via GHC, is making excellent progress. My niece Valentyna loves her and they are very successful !
In June they qualified for the Championship of the Czech republic for children and juniors, qualification limit is 115cm and 120cm.
The Championship took place in Olomouc here in the Czech republic now in July . Valentyna and Chicago rode 2 rounds clear and in the final they had 1 fault and they got 6th place!
It is a great success because Valentyna is just 12 years old and it is her first season with big horses."
Blanche, Waller, Texas, USA
"I bought two horses from you guys ( Liberty Girl and Catgirl ) and I just wanted to let you know that that was such a smooth experience getting them over here and the horses are WONDERFUL!
We love them so much. They are great.
Liberty girl will be a wonderful hunter! She is stellar! And Catgirl is amazing as well she is quite the jumper.
Again I just wanted to thank you!"

"Our experience with the German Horse Center was extremely satisfying. GHC made the whole process of finding the right horse for my 12 years old niece.
We would like to thank, in particular, Stefan Kreutz, with whom we corresponded for a several weeks prior to our trip to Germany. Stefan always returned our emails promptly. Stefan made every arrangement, including hotel reservations, tour planning and making all our appointments at all the various partner stables. A few days before our trip Stefan sent us a detailed itinerary outlining the stables and listing the horses selected for my niece to ride.
Our Horse Tour was wonderful, and in the end we found a new horse for my niece Valentyna. Her name is Chicago RA , she will be 7 years old and now they are training for upcoming show jumping season.
We will definitely recommend GHC to everyone looking for great horses. Thank you for your help!"

"Honesty, professionalism, adaptability, are the key words of this very serious company, which has really well understood my wishes to lead me to the perfect horse for me."

"Ich war schon länger auf der Suche nach einem jungen Pferd, welche für Vielseitigkeit und zum Fahren geeignet ist. Die Suche ergab sich schwieriger als gedacht. Doch da bin ich auf die Seite von German Horse Center gestoßen. Als ich mich darüber genauer informiert habe, fand ich heraus, dass eine Bekannte von mir bereits über German Horse Center ihr Traumpferd gefunden hat.
Auch sie konnte mir es nur weiter empfehlen. So hab ich kurzer Hand die Kontaktdaten von einem Hof erhalten, nur 2 Autofahrstunden von mir zuhause entfernt. Schon bei Erhalt einiger Fotos verschiedener Pferde, wusste ich eigentlich welchen ich mag. Beim Freispringen und Probereiten wurde es mir dann schnell klar. Es sollte der jüngste von allen sein. Als ich dann noch erfuhr, dass er St. Gallen heißt (mein Wohnkanton) war das Schicksal bestimmt. Nun habe ich mein Traumpferd gefunden, welcher für alle Sparten der Reiterei und Fahrerei geeignet ist.
Ich wurde bei German Horse Center wie auch beim Stall Schmid super betreut. Deshalb kann ich Euch alle nur weiterempfehlen. Einfach Großartig! Herzlichen Dank, Ihr habt mir meinen Traum erfüllt."
Mohammed, Abu Dhabi
"I am writing to inform you that Beatric S arrived to the UAE and I am so proud and more than happy to own such a great mare.
Also I would really like to express my appreciation for your support through the process it was a reliable and trustful experience to buy unseen horse through the center."
Vicki, Melbourne, Australien
"Just a very big "Thank You" from me!!
I purchased this beautiful 5 year old mare ESMEE 8 late 2015. Esmee8 was a stand out. I live in Australia and made the decision to buy her through German Horse Center without catching a long flight from Australia to Germany.
This decision had to be handled with full knowledge of what I was buying.
German Horse Center were wonderful ...informative... Nothing was left to luck nor could it be.
Thank you so much! Esmee8 arrived safely and she is all I was told she would be...
She is a beautiful and talented dressage mare. I could not be happier…"
Cherie, Pennsylvania, USA
"Our trip to Germany to go horse shopping could not have gone more smoothly. The German Horse Center handled everything, our itinerary was set and we were off. Everyone spoke English which was very comforting.
The partner stables were very professional. The quality of all the horses was top class and the facilities were excellent.
Having completed our first show season, the horses we purchased through the German Horse Center were wonderfully successful. Since both horses are young we are excited for their competition future.
Only the highest compliments for the German Horse Center. We have strongly recommended them to our friends and clients here in the United States."
Danah, Bahrain
"After months of searching for the right horse I had finally come across the GHC website where everything was so clearly written in detail of every single horse.
I saw a beautiful mare named Alexia who seemed just right and was exactly what I was looking for.
The GHC were very quick and prompt to answer all my questions and reassured me that I had finally found the right horse for me.
She's finally home and I honestly look forward to being with her everyday. She is exactly what they said on the website, a true confidence giver. Extremely well-schooled and such a kind and loving mare.
I am honestly extremely blessed to have her. Thanks to the GHC for making dreams come true!"
Victoria, Morgan Hill, USA
"Unable to fly from America to Germany to try horses, GHC made the experience of buying my pony very easy.
My trainer Cassandra Keith has already flown in two other wonderful horses from Germany with no problems thank to Stephan and Tanja. Looking at my wonderful pony Angel Eyes, both my trainer and I can see her potential of Pony Finals here in America. Before we bought Angel Eyes I was only able to do trot cross rails. Now, in only a few months, Angel Eyes has taken me up to 2'9 in hunter ring. She was categorized as a confidence giver, and that is most definitely what we got. Not minding many of my riding mistakes she has corrected, taught, and cared for me.
We went to our first show in June and did very well, ending the show with first place ribbons and a champion in our division. We have gone to one other show since then, and couldn't have been happier with the results.
Our journey is just beginning and I have much more to learn, but this pony has been a blessing in my life. Thank you GHC!"
Juliet und Sarah, Cornwell, USA
"We are so happy with Coline and had a great trip with German Horse Center last time, we look forward to coming back next month.
Thank you, Juliet and Sarah"

"Mary won two Champions at Spruce and as a result Mary won the Junior Rider Award.
The junior rider award is given to one Spruce Meadows competitor under the age of 18 who exemplifies sportsmanship along with top results across all divisions.
It is a very big honour as Spruce Meadows attracts riders from all over the world.
Mary competed both 1.20m and 1.30m and won two champions."

"Auf der Suche nach einem talentierten, reell ausgebildeten und vor allem lockeren jungen Dressurpferd sind wir bei unseren eigenen Recherchen schnell an unsere Grenzen gestoßen.
Nach unterschiedlichen Besuchen wollten wir schon fast aufgeben, als ich im Internet durch Zufall die Homepage von German Horse Center entdeckte. Völlig überrascht habe ich die angebotenen Pferde angeschaut und daraufhin sofort Kontakt mit Herrn Kreutz aufgenommen.
Vom ersten Tag an hat alles sehr professionell funktioniert. Wir haben eine Tour ausgearbeitet bekommen, die alle für uns interessanten Pferde beinhaltete. Die Bilder und Videos auf der Homepage sind sehr realistisch. Die Ställe waren alle sehr schön und ordentlich. Die angebotenen Pferde waren gut geritten, nicht zusammen gezogen und dem Alter entsprechend schonend ausgebildet. Das findet man leider nicht mehr so besonders häufig. Wir konnten uns bei den ganzen tollen Pferden nur schwer entscheiden. Und haben letztendlich bei unserer zweiten Tour unser Traumpferd entdeckt.
Nun wohnt seit ein paar Tagen der fünfjährige Flint bei uns. Wir sind sehr glücklich mit ihm. Er ist lieb, gut erzogen, und ein ziemlicher Clown. In ihm steckt viel Potential und wir werden schauen, dass er von uns weiter schonend gefördert wird.
German Horse Center werden wir sehr gerne weiter empfehlen und bei unserer nächsten Pferdesuche ebenfalls gerne wieder darauf zurück kommen. Es hat einfach alles ohne 'wenn und aber' funktioniert."
Esther, Volketswil, Schweiz
"Auf der Homepage von German Horse Center bin ich auf die schwarzbraune Oldenburger Stute aufmerksam geworden. Schnell habe ich dann auch die Kontaktdaten des Dressurpferdestalles Kathmann in Vechta erhalten, wo die Stute namens „It’s Pretty“ stand – bereits der Name der Stute hat mich fasziniert!
Rasch war dann auch die Reise Richtung Norden gebucht. Im Stall Kathmann wurden wir herzlich empfangen und Pretty wurde uns vorgestellt. Nach einem ersten Beschnuppern, Probereiten und ausgiebigen Streicheleinheiten, war für uns schnell klar, dass nicht nur der Name, sondern auch das liebe Wesen von Pretty bestechend war und sie für uns einmalig machte. Nach dem Kauf entschieden wir uns, dass Pretty, welche vierjährig war, zuerst eine gute Grundausbildung nördlich von München bei Bekannten von uns erhalten sollte. Dort hat sie während fast drei Jahren das Grund-ABC und erste Turniererfahrungen mit einigen Platzierungen und einem Sieg in Dressurpferdeprüfungen gesammelt. Auch auf dem Springplatz wurde sie turniermässig vorgestellt und auch diese Disziplin macht ihr viel Freude.
In diesem Frühling war es nun Zeit, Pretty zu uns in die Schweiz zu holen. Zuerst habe ich zwei Wochen zusammen mit einer Freundin und unseren beiden anderen Pferden in München verbracht. Dort sind Pretty und ich zu einem richtig tollen Team zusammen gewachsen. Nie hätte ich mir erträumt, dass ich bereits nach knapp einem Monat mit Pretty auf ein Turnier gehen würde. Aber ihre liebe Art, die tolle Ausbildung und das enorme Vertrauen haben es möglich gemacht.
Ein herzliches Dankeschön an den Züchter, den Dressurpferdestall Kathmann und die Ausbilder. Pretty ist wunderbar!"
Maggie, New Jersey, USA
"Cinderella is doing wonderful. The horses are back in New Jersey now and I just took her to her first horse show in New York last weekend - she placed in every class!
She is so brave and so well broke - it's hard to believe she is only 5 years old this year.
She really takes care of my mom, which is most important, and is so athletic with me - she really adjusts depending on who is riding her.
My trainer, who is very well respected and top trainer in the hunter/jumper/equitation A circuit, loves Cinderella and is so delighted that we got her. He is so very excited for her future and thinks she is a super jumper and mover.
Our close family friend and professional Dressage rider based out of Wellington, Florida has seen Cinderella once in person and also in videos and she is in awe of her - she thinks Cinderella is a super quality mare for dressage too and wants to breed to her or if we ever need to sell her she wants to be first in line!
Everyone loves the mare and is so complimentary of her athleticism and movement across the ground. I only have the best to say about my decision to buy Cinderella and the experience/process to do so!"
Aleksandra, Belgrad, Serbien
"A small update from Serbia:
I don't know how to thank you for helping me to find such a good horse that has everything i need.
Cassina is really a confidence giver and she opened the door to many major competitions for me.
From season to season, she was better and do her best to respond to our demands.
The results came in - last season we won all the major competitions and now we start another season together. She is really the best.
Once again I want to thank you for the time and effort you have invested in us.
I definitely recommend GHC to anyone who wants to quickly and safely find excellent horses for their needs."
Eva, Melhus, Norwegen
"When I started looking for a new horse I had a budget, some demands and a dream. I was sure I had to go abroad from Norway to find a youngster with talent within my budget. I started searching but I soon found out that looking for horses in Germany was not that easy without a contactperson.
This is where German Horse Center came to my attention. I sent an email with my wishes and Stefan and the rest of GHC took care of everything. Close to tryouts I received a schedule. As I brought my vet with me I knew that it would be to tight and requested more time at each stable, we got a new schedule but even then we didn’t manage to keep up with it.
I was introduced to many good horses. As I was very lucky to bring my vet with me I was able to check them straight away. I’m used to meet some resistance when I want the vetcheck to be done straight away but that was not the case for these stables. All the stables I visited took good care of me and tried their best to meet my wishes and requests even with a short warning ahead. When I selected my horse I got all the checkups that I requested from the vet. GHC also offered help to get the horse to Norway.
What I really appreciated is that the service GHC offers me as a customer does not cost me anything. Not even if I can’t find a horse. That takes away pressure to find that special friend and the risk of making the wrong choice is a little smaller.
Today Cinderella has lived with me for almost five months and I have so much fun with her. She is really the talented and kind horse I was looking for. Thinking back I didn't really think she would be anything but now I'm so pleased Stefan made me go try her. I would recommend GHC to all my friends. Thank you so much!"
Miranda Lebeuf, Duncan, British Columbia, Kanada
"My Mom and I flew to Germany in December. We had never been, and we were somewhat apprehensive as to what to expect. We needn't have worried, as Stefan and Tanja made every arrangement, including hotel reservations, tour planning and making all our appointments at all the various partner stables.
They even went as far as offering ideas for side trips and sightseeing. Throughout the entire process, they were always only a phone call away to put our minds at ease.
The German Horse Centre was phenomenal to work with and always answered our many questions in a timely manner. They took care of all the details, from arranging the vetting to organizing the export, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress free. Stefan and Tanja are honest and simply lovely, adding a personal touch to make the whole experience unforgettable. I would highly recommend the GHC to anyone looking to buy a horse from Germany.
Thanks to the German Horse Centre I was able to find my dream mount Carivero"
Update 1 Woche später: "Just an update on Carivero, in our show we got a first place, and 2 second place ribbons! He’s doing amazing!"

"It is now just over a month that Dr Brandy has been with us and I write to express my heart-felt gratitude for all your help in finding him. I still can't quite believe that he is such a perfect match for me.
He has settled in very well and is now completely at home. We are now up to speed with the riding and he is happy and settled in his work. Plainly, he is a talented sport horse, but he also has such an excellent character. As you knew from Malcolm, I am not a hugely experienced rider but with this horse I am able to learn fast without annoying him. He is very forgiving and already we have a strong bond. In the stabling and in handling, he is both respectful and affectionate. His manners are excellent.
I am also hugely grateful to Julia Wentscher for her diligent and efficient help and completely accurate advice. She told me this horse could be nervous in new situations but with patience that goes. This has been my experience and by taking our time, Dr Brandy is now completely relaxed in his new routines.
I could not recommend your approach to buying horses more. Our Horse Tour was wonderful, with horses selected which were completely appropriate for me and all effortlessly arranged by you and Tanja. However, it is perhaps the clarity and honesty of the advice that I was given by you and Julia that I value most. That can be a commodity in short supply in the world of horse buying and it erodes trust and confidence. The professionalism and integrity of your organisation creates a climate of trust and as a result I now have a horse that dreams are made of.
I am in your debt, And with very best wishes, Louise King"
Cassandra, Trainerin, Kalifornien, USA
"Our experience with the German Horse Center was extremely rewarding. They made the process of finding the right horse for my young student very easy.
My clients were not able to fly oversees to try out horses, so we purchased Paradiso after viewing many videos. This was the first time we imported a horse and Stefan and Tanja made sure that everything went well. The team and their partners answered all our questions efficiently and, upon my request, provided additional video of Paradiso demonstrating his ability to perform various actions. The entire experience has been such a pleasure. Paradiso arrived in California about a month ago and has met all of our expectations.
We want to thank Tanja, Stefan and Lutz for making it so easy to purchase such a great horse. I highly recommend the German Horse Center to anyone interested in importing a horse from Europe. It is a one stop shop that provides everything you need to purchase a high quality horse. Their team does all the work for you and you are guaranteed to have a positive experience with great results."

"Ariella she is the number one in our family now. Both my mum Patricia Charles Creighton know without your help and event rider Julia Schmid we would never have found her.
Every time I see her I laugh and smile a lot she has such a positive outlook on everything there's nothing she can't do in her life this energy she has, spreads to anyone why comes her way.
Julia has done such wonderful work producing her I feel very thankful to Julia for letting me take the reins.
I always take my time getting to know horses I think this is the best way to build up a long term trustful partnership so we are in Dressage training right now with my trainer Patricia Charles Creighton who is a European junior event rider on team GB showjumped to grand prix, Grand Prix Dressage / judge trained a lot of high standard horses and riders including myself I worked for the great Late Iris Kellet riding a lovely talented young horses, also my very talented and majestic uncle Peter Charles who win Gold for the team in GB in Showjumping.
We will keep you updated with our progress thank you so much Stefan, the German Horse Center and Julia Schmid for all your help and support.

We really like Braveheart it is nice to ride him (...) the horse’s behavior and mental state is very good although he is young. So we bought a really nice and attentive horse from Julia and we are satisfied with Braveheart and with Julia’s and GHC’s service! Thank you!"
Ines, Gräfelfing, Deutschland
"Wir hatten zugegebenermaßen keine leichte Aufgabe für das GHC Team, weil wir ein gut ausgebildetes Springpferd für unsere erst 10-jährige Tochter gesucht hatten, welches genug Potential hat aber aufgrund des geringen Alters der Reiterin dennoch sehr zuverlässig und gut händelbar sein sollte.
Trotz dieser anspruchsvollen Voraussetzung präsentierte uns Herr Kreutz eine perfekt organisierte Tour mit zehn Pferden zum Ausprobieren. Wir wurden in allen Partnerställen sehr freundlich empfangen und prompt haben wir auch das ideale Pferd für uns gefunden!
Chacca Chacca ist eine bildhübsche 7-jährige Stute, die M-platziert und charakterlich absolut traumhaft ist. Sie ist sehr zuverlässig, total ausgeglichen und lieb, auch in neuen Situationen berechenbar und ruhig, kooperativ und lernwillig, geht super ins Gelände und genauso selbstverständlich in den Hänger. Beim Springen kann sich unsere Tochter voll auf die Stute verlassen. Die beiden sind bereits jetzt ein super Team, sind mit Spaß bei der Sache und man kann den Fortschritten förmlich zusehen.
Mit ihrer unkomplizierten und freundlichen Art haben unsere vier Töchter sie sofort ins Herz geschlossen und sie macht uns einfach jeden Tag sehr viel Freude. Wir können es kaum erwarten, die ersten Turniere mit ihr zu starten.
Ein ganz besonderer Dank gilt noch dem Partner-Ausbildungsstall Jens Baackmann, der mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl und hoher Kompetenz das richtige Gespür bei der Auswahl dieses Pferdes für uns bewiesen hat.
Wir wünschen dem GHC weiterhin den Erfolg, den es verdient hat und viele Kunden, die so zufrieden sind wie wir!"
Stacy und Belle, St. Louis, Missouri, USA
"Never did I think that we would ever purchase a horse from oversees! Never! The logistics alone seemed like something I just wouldn’t want to deal with. And, yet here we are. Not only did my daughter find this beautiful young horse on your website, but, we did our homework on him as well as your facility and here we are with our beautiful Cilkenny imported from Germany.
I must thank everyone involved with this relationship…Tanja, Stefan and the shipper from New York who coordinated all of the hauling details so I had literally nothing to do but greet the carrier at our barn. At the beginning of our initial communication with the German Horse Center, I was unsure how the language barrier could play into effect and was pleasantly surprised that all communication was in English and was beautifully written as well as spoken when we were on the telephone.
All in all, purchasing a horse from out of the country, while a daunting thought, was actually a seamless experience. The German Horse Center took care of everything from the videos, vetting and shipping. All we had to do was welcome our beautiful new horse into our family.
Thank you so much. Stacy & Belle Rolfe
Milena, Ontario, Kanada
"It’s been a month since Clara landed and I still can’t believe that we have her! She is the most amazing horse I have ever ridden and on top this mare is the kindest and sweetest pet.
It is obvious that Clara was skillfully, carefully and lovingly bred, raised and trained. When she was presented to us by your partners I knew Clara was my dream horse and I was very happy she came from such a great barn. Exactly what I hoped for but did not expect to find so easily.
I want to Thank You, Stefan and the team of German Horse Center for providing such excellent and professional service. You were incredibly easy, nice to deal with and every one of your partners showed hospitality and were very pleasant.
This was our first time buying horses overseas and you made it a very successful and fun experience.
We will definitely recommend GHC to anyone looking for great horses. Thank You, I will send pictures and updates of Clara and I"
Sharyl, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Kanada
"I am very happy to endorse the German Horse Center.
The assistance I received in the purchase of Duplin was friendly and very professional. Stefan Kreutz was more than helpful and patient, with many, many phone calls made overseas with an eight hour time change. It seems daunting to attempt to choose a horse, make arrangements for a trial ride, arrange a pre-purchase vetting (of my choosing), then arrange an extremely complicated travel plan to Canada, and in the end receive a wonderful horse.
Stefan and the German Horse Center achieved this and much more!
I would also like to thank Kai Ligges for all his help with the purchase of Duplin. The partners of the German Horse Center make it possible to have access to many wonderful horses.
Duplin is everything I could have wanted! He is a confidence-giver, but a superb mover for dressage. He is beautiful, shiny black, with a loving nature that melts your heart.
Thank you German Horse Center. I recommend anyone in Canada to contact you when shopping for a horse overseas.
Claudia, Remscheid, Deutschland
"Nachdem wir einen Rentenplatz für unseren guten alten Vierbeiner gefunden hatten, wurde es Zeit nach einem neuen treuen Pferdefreund Ausschau zu halten. Ich durchforstete sämtliche Reiterzeitungen / Annoncen/ Internetseiten etc. Die Suche gestaltete sich schwierig, weil wir - beide groß gewachsen - auch ein entsprechend groß gewachsenes Pferd suchten. Nein - nicht irgendein Pferd: es sollte ein Wallach sein, möglichst kein Schimmel, Dressur geprägt, Ausbildungsstand relativ egal - wenigstens E/A Niveau, Stockmaß mindestens 1,80 m. Und da waren Sie all unsere Vorstellungen.
Wie durch Zufall fand ich auf der Seite von GHC direkt 2 Kandidaten, die mit Stockmaß 1,80 m angegeben waren, die die anderen Anforderungen ebenfalls erfüllten und sich im Video sehr gut präsentierten. Also stellte Herr Kreutz den Kontakt zu seinen Partnern her und wir verbanden die Pferdesuche mit unserem Urlaub.
Bereits das erste Pferd gefiel uns sehr gut: Herr Drop hatte den Wallach bereits seit 1,5 Jahren in Beritt und nun Mitte 5-jährig sollte er einen Käufer finden. Er präsentierte sich in sehr guter Rittigkeit und mit seinen taktreinen und schwungvollen Gängen fiel es uns nicht schwer mit einem sehr guten Eindruck auf die weitere Reise zu gehen.
Das nächste Pferd war ebenfalls ein unseren Bedingungen fast entsprechender Wallach, war jedoch gerade 4-jährig und noch nicht ganz so lange unter dem Sattel. Somit fiel uns die Wahl nicht sehr schwer und wir fuhren mit unserer "ersten Wahl" zur AKU.
Die Entscheidung war gefallen - wir danken Herrn Kreutz und GHC für den sehr netten und tollen Kontakt, der organisatorisch keine Wünsche offen ließ und uns mit sämtlichen Informationen versah. Weiterhin danken wir Herrn Drop, durch dessen sehr gute Arbeit uns ein Pferd in absolut korrekter und solider Grundausbildung übergeben wurde. Für den weiteren Beritt und Unterricht werden wir die Zusammenarbeit mit Herrn Drop aufrecht erhalten.
Wir danken herzlich allen Beteiligten und werden GHC sehr gerne weiter empfehlen!"
Natasha, Victoria, Australien
"I was looking for a warmblood to purchase as my next dressage horse, and thought as I was already in Europe on a holiday from Australia, it might be a good opportunity to find one.
I found it incredibly difficult to find quality horses for sale, or someone who would be willing to help me source such a horse. That was until I connected with German Horse Centre. From the minute I contacted them I felt safe, comfortable and overwhelmed (in a good way) with choice of horses. Every horse I looked at was exactly what I said I wanted in regards to height, age, training and most importantly budget.
I could have brought three horses home with me from the selection they chose for me to look at. In the end we chose the one I loved the most, but I'm still thinking of the other two!
If you are looking for someone you can trust in Germany to find you exactly the horses that suit your requirements and budget, German Horse Centre is the right place.
Thank you!"

"At first, i heard about GHC from a friend of mine in Indonesia. I was currently on my study in London. My friend gave me Stefan's email address and he is such a friendly person always replying to my emails. He recommended me some horses based on my preference and I took 2 days horse tour with Stefan.
It was a wonderful experience. Stefan set everything up and organized the schedule really well. I met my lovely boy Chianto on the 2nd day. He was the last horse on the list and I remembered Stefan said "I think you will like this horse. He is a really nice horse and I think is perfect for you. This horse is one of my favorite" and when i tried him Stefan was absolutely right. He is everything that I need for. A very nice, scopey and careful jumper.
I'm really happy I found him and my GHC service is really satisfying as well. If I'm looking for another horse I'll find Stefan again for sure."

"Ich wurde durch das German Horse Center bei meiner Suche nach einem gut ausgebildeten und braven Dressurpferd sehr professionell und freundlich beraten.
Ganz speziellen Dank geht an Herrn Stefan Kreutz, der mir im ganzen Prozess der Pferdauswahl, Anreiseplanung, Probereiten, Ankaufsuntersuchung bis zum schlussendlichen Transport immer beratend zur Seite stand.
Luigi hat sich sehr gut eingelebt. Besonders freut es mich, dass LUI auch im Gelände super brav ist. Er ist wirklich ein Verlasspferd und Lehrmeister in den ich mich schon verliebt habe."

"A short note to let you know, that I am extremely happy about the purchase of Sterntaler (Oldenburg 2008) , the mare I was able to buy in Germany thank to the support of the German Horse Center.
First of all the mare is above my expectations, she is really a qualitative horse, elegant, good looking, with outstanding gaits, willing to work, docile and intelligent.
Your trip organization allowed me to try many different horses in a short time, and choose the right one! I appreciated the perfect organization of the tour and the quality of the horses I was able to try.
Your partner stables got the right information and did an excellent job presenting prospects with the quality and characteristics I was asking for.
I am enthusiast with the result of my travel to Germany."
Wendy, Kalifornien, USA
I am more than happy to endorse your German Horse Center!
My experience was entirely positive. Horse shopping is always a bit nerve wracking. Even more so when you don't know the people who are showing you the horses. Also, I wasn't even sure what I was looking for, as I had not ridden much for some years, and I was not very fit. I only knew that I wanted to return to Eventing.
At the Partner barns everyone went out of their way to help me figure out what I was looking for, and each went out of their way to extend hospitality- booking rooms, giving us driving directions, and even making dining reservations, or asking us to stay for dinner!
The horse I bought was an unlikely choice at first glance; only four years old and with no jumping experience. Julia had already seen me ride and so wisely had me try Don Charming on the lunge line first. This was not in the least offensive to me, I would have done the same in her place. But as soon as he trotted, that was it! - goodbye lunge line! It's funny how you can recognize a horse that you've never met before.
During the vetting, shipping arrangements, and payments, nothing was too much trouble for Julia, on our behalf. I cannot imagine a better Ambassador for the German Horse Center, or indeed for Germany.
Don Charming is a lovely fellow, and has inspired me to regain my riding fitness. He is a careful and bold jumper. His first Event is next month. I will send you a photo of him in action from there.
I would ( and have) absolutely recommend the German Horse Center to anyone. The integrity of those involved is impressive, and the hospitality was lovely."
Karen, St. Cergues, Frankreich
“I am very pleased with Flic Flac - he is better than you stated and in addition has a lovely character. Flic Flac arrived safe and sound. He is certainly better looking than in the videos (where he looked good anyway) and appears well mannered. I will keep you updated on progress.
I would just like to compliment your team on the service and help provided, it could not have been bettered.-My daughter Jemeima is already offering to ride FF and I can see that as she grows out of her Welsh we will be in contact for an additional German horse.“
Françoise, Carnoux, Frankreich
"I am very happy, because I had only one day to spend in Germany...and the great organisation of GHC, found me a wonderful horse!

"I just wanted to take a minute and update you on the current status of the great horse you helped me purchase and bring to the states.
Cancaro has turned out to be a truly great partner with an unbelievable mind in addition to his talent. We have shown a few times and done very well, with his first outing resulting in a win with a 74%. I am grateful almost daily that he continues to demonstrate a total willingness to work and improve.
The latest pictures I'm sending you are from the Dressage at Devon horse show 2 weeks ago, where he pinned second in a class of 6 yr olds suitable to become a dressage horse. I took him mainly for the experience and was very very happy to place so well, especially in the midst of 350 horses including mares and babies, stallions and performance horses.
My plans this season include returning to Florida for 5 months to continue working with Lars Peterson where he has already established himself as a great prospect.
Thanks once again."
Jessica, Kirchberg, Deutschland
Liebes GHC Team,
vielen Dank für die schnelle und professionelle Hilfe, bei meiner Suche nach dem richtigen Pferd für uns.
Als ich die Anfrage bei Ihnen vor ein paar Wochen machte, hätte ich nie gedacht, so schnell mehrere Vorschläge zu bekommen.
Chiva ist das ideale Pferd für uns. Mit ihr kann man wunderbar Dressurlektionen (L/M) reiten, aber auch einfach entspannt ins Gelände gehen. Eben ein richtiges Verlasspferd. Meine Tochter (4 Jahre) saß mittlerweile auch schon ein paar Mal auf ihr und findet es einfach super, wie brav Chiva ist.
GHC arbeitet sehr diskret und professionell.
Dies hat uns ein gutes, absolut vertrauensvolles Gefühl gegeben. Bei meiner nächsten Pferdesuche, werde ich mich natürlich wieder an Stefan Kreutz und das gesamte Team wenden.
Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg für die Zukunft."
Tiffany, Loveland, Colorado, USA
"Stefan, Tanya and Fabian did an amazing job of helping me find the right partner in Hanseat, my 6 year old Hanoverian.
I had never purchased a horse overseas before and the German Horse Center made it a perfect experience.
Even after my visit, they assisted with the contract, vet checks, and most importantly, the logistics of flying our horse back to the US.
The German Horse Center is a first class company who I would feel privileged to work with again."
Indiana, Versailles, Frankreich
"Stefan and his team were fantastic in providing many horses to trial and were outstanding in responding to changes along the way.
My trainer and I had spent a day trialing privately sourced horses and it was clear that we needed to change the criteria of our search. After speaking to Stefan, less than 24 hours later, he had contacted all partners and managed to source as many new horses that fit the criteria. That was the real benefit of having the German Horse Center network of support. If we had not had that, the entire trip would have been a waste of time and money.
In the end, I had three very good horses to choose from, all of which were terrific options, but decided on Don Sandro.
The service delivered by Julia at the partner stable Ludwig Kathmann was very friendly, professional and attentive. There was no question unanswered and no request unfulfilled.
Don Sandro is my dream horse. There have been no surprises. He is exactly the horse that was presented to me and I am so happy I chose him!
It was a real pleasure to work with everyone at German Horse Center, as well as their partners, and I would not hesitate to recommend them!"
Familie Wille, Dexter, Michigan, USA
"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!"

"I cannot say enough good things about the German Horse Centre but I will try.
I have been looking for a special amateur warm blood jumping horse for over a year. My search took me to Belgium, Holland and France but with no luck and a lot of stress and heartache from horses not passing the vet test and dealing with less than honest people.
After a particularly disappointing weekend searching in Holland wth my husband, we decided to contact the German Horse Centre because of the enormous amount of outstanding reviews we read and their professional, clear and informative website. We were not disappointed. Stefan was polite and professional and sent me a list of suitable horses for me to review. From there he established a precise and well planned itinerary for our trip and we met in Dusseldorf the following week.
The first day was planned extremely well with and packed tightly with 4 partner stables to visit but Stefan still found time to stop in a lovely hotel along the way for lunch which was much appreciated! At every stable we met good professionals, amongst which were Marten Frehe-Siermann, and Jens Baackmann. They took the time to coach me riding their horses and gave me advice and opinions on which of their horses suited me. They also brought out other horses that had not previously been on our list that they felt could be right for me and I tried several that were excellent. It was at the last partner stable however that I met Phillip Baumgart and saw Chardonnay, the five year old grey stallion that I was going to ride. I firmly believe that finding the right horse for you involves feeling a special connection and I cannot explain why, but I knew it the minute I laid eyes on him. I tend to be a little anxious in the saddle but when I rode Chardonnay we just clicked. He has a great personality, very sweet but intelligent, laid back and with a lot of talent. He is also beautiful and with an outstanding pedigree. I still cannot believe that he is only five years old. We managed a course of jumps together and I couldn’t stop smiling.
We discussed the horses I tried that day with Stefan over dinner and I was looking forward to meeting our independent purchase advisor the following morning. Having made a mistake buying the wrong horse in the past with no advice, we wanted a separate honest and professional opinion. Martin could not have been better. We had already read his impressive bio on the German Horse Centre website and knew that he was more that qualified to help us. He arrived at our hotel in the morning and we discussed the 3 favourites that I wanted to try again and set off together. Martin is very refined in the saddle a pleasure to watch. He trained me and also rode each horse himself to test their abilities and make deliberate mistakes that an amateur would make to test their reactions. He was able to give us invaluable advice about the horses and also point certain things out that I would never have been able to see. Apart from that, he is a very nice and genuine and dynamic person and by the end of the day I felt that I had known him for a long time.
Martin thought that there were 2 horses that suited me the best, Chardonnay, and another beautiful and sweet grey gelding that I tried a Jens Bacckmann’s stable. It was an easy choice because of how special I know Chardonnay is. Naturally he passed the vet test performed by Dr. Brunken with flying colours. Philipp has agreed to let us keep him at his stable and continue the excellent training that he has been receiving with him for a few more months after which time we will transport him to France. I will also go back to Germany to train with Philipp myself for a week which I am really looking forward to. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to have such a special horse and am looking forward to a great partnership with him.
One of the reasons why I feel that Stefan delivers such a high quality service is because he has been in the same position when looking for a horse and perfectly understands the point of view and position of the buyer. We all want a horse that has the best qualities, but we also want to buy with confidence, knowing that the horse we are taking home has been trained kindly and correctly and that is something that Stefan takes very seriously and is able to deliver. It was a great pleasure to have met him and to have had the opportunity to buy our horse with his help. I cannot recommend him and the German Horse Centre highly enough. "
Nikki, Kildare, Irland
"Buying a horse abroad is like looking for a needle in a haystack so i would like to thank you for the great service.
The whole experience was easy, completely stress free and I enjoyed the opportunity to try a number of different horses chosen to suit me and my style of riding and because of your personal service we were able to fit alot more into our visit than I had envisaged.
Also the question of vetting and transport was totally hassle free. Everything aspect was covered and I wouldn't hesitate to use the service again."

Miriam, Cremlingen, Deutschland
"Vielen Dank für Ihren Service.
Ich war begeistert, in einem Stall gleich mehrere Pferde ausprobieren zu können, die alle meiner Vorstellung entsprochen haben.
Mit Shalino habe ich genau das gefunden, was ich gesucht habe.
Ich würde jederzeit wieder ein Pferd über das German Horse Center suchen.
(…) Solch einen Service bin ich eigentlich nur von amerikanischen Unternehmen gewöhnt. Es ist schön zu sehen, dass es auch hier Menschen gibt, bei denen Kundenfreundlichkeit an erster Stelle steht.“
Roberto, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Hello my friends,
I wanted to share this great weekend of competitions with both of you.
Claudia and Caruso did their first 1.0 meter class this weekend and they both did an amazing job, Claudia was able to get first place on both days in the juniors category and she got the third best time yesterday in the open category and the second best time today in the jump-off in the open category out of 30 competitors.
I truly want to thank both of you for such an amazing horse, they are having a great time together and I am sure that they will make a great team for many years to come.
Sara, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
GHC was exceptional to work with. As a business owner myself, I truly appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness and genuine care that GHC takes of its clients.
The entire process was nothing short of fabulous. I came to GHC with a unique situation and a big request for a specific type of horse.
I cannot say enough good things about Stefan’s responses and coordination for every step of the way. And when it came time to deliver on what I had requested, trainer Martin Fink was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure he found exactly was I was looking for. His sense and feel for the horses was spot on and his dedication in finding me Colmar will be appreciated for a long time. Colmar is a gorgeous 7yr old that has been a great addition to my jumpers. I have no doubt we will be breezing through the 1.45 by the end of the year.
I will definitely be back to GHC and Martin for my next one!
Penny, Kalifornien, USA
"Lightening McQueen is an amateur rider's dream. He is brave, kind and easy.
Combine this with enormous talent and scope and I am honored to have such a nice horse."
Sabine, Almstedt, Deutschland
"Vielen Dank an German Horse Center für die präzise Planung der Tour.
Es hat alles hervorragend geklappt. Bei allen Partnern wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und betreut.
Monty hat sich schon sehr gut eingewöhnt und bereitet uns viel Freude.
Vielen Dank auch an den Partner für die nette Beratung und den unkomplizierten und schnellen Verkauf."
Neuigkeiten von Monty
"Ich wollte Ihnen nur kurz berichten, dass ich mit Monty die ersten zwei Springpferdeprüfungen der Klasse A bestritten habe. Er hat beide gewonnen mit 8,0 und 8,6. Ich freue mich riesig darüber. Nochmals vielen herzlichen Dank für mein tolles Pferd."
Vanessa und Natalie, Ontario, Kanada
"We searched for two years and travelled on two continents and, thanks to the German Horse Centre, my daughter finally found her equine soul mate. It only took 15 minutes riding Freiherr, a beautiful talented 16h2 Hanoverian gelding, for Vanessa to realize she had found the perfect junior jumper.We would like to thank, in particular, Stefan Kreutz, with whom we corresponded for several months prior to our trip to Europe. Stefan always returned our emails and calls promptly. A week before our trip Stefan sent us a detailed itinerary outlining the stables and listing the horses selected for my daughter to ride. He also recommended a delightful small hotel in Warendorf called Il Cavallino, next door to the National Equestrian Olympic Training Centre. We would also like to thank Stefan for helping to arrange transport home for our wonderful new horse.Freiherr (Fritz) has settled in well at Con Brio Farm near London, Ontario and he has proved to be everything we could have hoped for in a horse. He is gentle, friendly, business-like in the ring and super talented.We are grateful for the help we received from the German Horse Centre."
Georgia, Rom, Italien
"When I started looking for a horse, I immediately thought of Germany as the most convenient way to find a perfect sport partner and when I saw the GHC website I was immediately impressed by the graphics and the great clarity with which each horse was described. I wrote asking for something very precise: a jumper for a young amateur rider with a gentle character, who would allow me to enjoy every minute of riding and grooming.
GHC immediately prepared a list of horses that would suit my requirements, and when we arrived on the locations in Germany I tried extra horses that the partners chose for me when they saw me riding. I was amazed by the number of quality horses that I was able to see in such a limited amount of time and with a fixed budget.
We were also surprised by how well Stefan organised our two day horse tour (with my mother and even our dog!) allowing us to maximise the time we spent at each partner. The facilities we visited were extremely well-kept, and all the partners professional and friendly. During the horse tour not only didn't I feel out of place without the help of my trainer, but the partners also gave me advice on how to ride their horses and their opinions on whether they thought their horse was the right match for me or not.
At the end we found three horses that met my requirements, and I regret leaving two super horses (Scooby and Francis) behind… but I only had to choose one!
Jule and Marten were very accommodating and allowed me to test ride Cassia, the beautiful 8 year old mare that I chose, under every conditions I asked for: even changing the bit and hacking out…! They were very honest about their horse and I am now very happy to have her at my stable here in Rome. Cassia is the perfect Confidence Giver, with a stupefying pedigree that makes me even more proud of having her here with me. Both my trainers are astonished by the degree to which they think Cassia suits me, and by how relaxed, honest and intelligent she is.
A big thank you to GHC, whose professionalism and great choice helped me find the horse of my dreams.
I will definitely recommend Your service to any demanding buyer looking for a Sport Horse!"
Joanna, Berufsreiterin und -trainerin, New York, USA
"I want to extend my appreciation to you, Tanja and Stefan for the exceptional service I received from German Horse Center. The professionalism of the GHC staff made the purchase and import of my new horse absolutely painless. I have only good things to say about the seller, Jens-Peter Rabeler; the veterinarian, Dr. Brunken; and the transport company, Peden Bloodstock Transport.
As you know, I chose to purchase without making the trip to Germany and the willingness of the seller to provide me with up-to-date photos and videography, as well as answer all my questions was wonderful. All aspects of the pre-purchase vetting, writing of sales contract, purchase and scheduling transport went smoothly – what a pleasure it was to do business with you!
I wanted to let you know that my lovely 4 year old Hanoverian gelding has settled right in. His registered name is now "Longinsel" which is German for "Long Island" (this is where we live in New York), and his barn name is "Eli". He is absolutely everything I expected him to be from the representations made by GHC and JP Rabeler – I am just thrilled with him. I have attached a photo of Eli. taken shortly after he was delivered to my barn.
Thank you again for all your efforts on my behalf and I will be sure to consider GHC for future purchases and recommend you whenever possible."

"Qualität, Kompetenz und Service zeichnen für mich German Horse Center aus. Ich war auf der Suche nach einem Dressurpferd für meine 14-jährige Reitschülerin Anna Herb, welches Zuverlässigkeit, Schönheit und Rittigkeit in sich vereinte.
German Horse Center war für mich ein hervorragender Partner, dieses Pferd zu finden, auszuprobieren und letztendlich auch zu erwerben.
Wir freuen uns sehr, die 6-jährige Dressurstute Sanara seit September 2012 im Besitz von Anna Herb zu haben.
Die ersten Turniererfolge sprechen für sich.
1. Platz Dressurpferdeprüfung Klasse. A mit Anna mit einer Wertnote von 7,2
1. Platz Klasse L/M unter Thomas Grausam ebenfalls mit einer Wertnote von 7,2
Danke an Stefan Kreutz und Tanja Uredat, für das Finden dieses Traumpferdes und dem ausgezeichneten Service von German-Horse-Center."
Leoni, Pretoria, Südafrika
"We wish to thank you for the well organized and thoroughly planned personal horse tour we had with German Horse Centre.
Everything was professional, all the barns were top standard and the horses of supreme quality.
We called it the most confusing tour ever as we didn't know which horse to choose as all the horses were so carefully picked that they suited us perfectly. After choosing our horses we felt guilty for leaving the others behind. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for the excellent horses we are now bringing home to South Africa. We will keep you updated on our progress and look forward to buying more superb horses from you in the future!!!
German Horse Centre is on top of our recommendation list for anyone wanting to buy horses in Germany."

Sehr angenehme und kompetente 'Partner' haben uns empfangen. 'Carl der Große' ist inzwischen in seinem neuen Zuhause angekommen und wir sind glücklich mit ihm. Ein großartiges Pferd! Vielen Dank an GHC und die Pferdefreunde.
Empfehlenswert und vertrauenswürdig."
Chris, Monkton, Maryland, USA
"After exhausting my resources here in the States looking for a young dressage horse and reviewing the German Horse Center website several times I decided to contact them.
I did not have any references other than the testimonials, but the several emails back and forth between Tanja and myself, and subsequently Stefan and myself all were very positive and encouraging. They assured me that they would be able to show me at least 20-25 horses that fulfilled my requirements which were specific.I wanted a 3 or 4 year old young tall gelding that had a lot of promise.
Plans were made and the schedule determined so I flew to Frankfort and then Dusseldorf where Stefan met me and took over. His itinerary was full and very well planned and organized. In three days we looked at least 25 horses that were all very nice young prospects. I rode nearly all of them with only one or two exceptions and this was based on just a personal preference, not that there was anything wrong with them. Once we were finished we established a list of 7 horses to ride a second time and establish a priority list. We completed that effort and I flew home.
Once I was home, Stefan arranged the vetting for my selection. That being done, he arranged the flight and all the contacts for quarantine and the horse’s eventual transport to my barn.
This entire search was conducted in an extremely professional, well organized and courteous manner. The barns were all top-notch and the horses were extremely well presented.
Not only did I find a super horse, but I made a new friend as well. I would not hesitate to do it again!"
Alejo, Barcelona, Spanien
"I came to German Horse Center upon a recommendation of a club mate who purchased a very nice horse from a GHC partner stable one year before.
The communication and horse selection for my requirements were excellent from the beginning.
GHC suggested several additional fitting horses and organized a very worthwhile 3 days horse tour during which I tried a great number of horses and all the partners were very accommodating and showed me even additional horses on location when viewing my riding.
Stefan as my Personal Tour Guide was gentle and flexible and made the search a smooth and comfortable event. We maintain now a friendly relation.
The selected hotels were excellent. We had a very good time and the stables were very nicely kept.
Finally I had to decide between 2 very nice horses and really fell in love with my brilliant new mare Perrin which would jump over fire with me. I already entered some first shows with her and am very happy.
I would highly recommend German Horse Center to everyone who searches for a high quality, well trained horse from Germany."
Miriam, Kildare, Irland
"I was looking for a dressage horse and was recommended the German Horse Centre by a good friend.
They organised the whole trip for me and were able to suggest horses for my specific needs, as I am not a very confident rider.
When I saw Dublin he was absolutely stunning; the photographs on the website did not do him justice.
Everyone we met on our trip was extremely friendly and helpful.
The GHC also recommended a great transport company, and Dublin arrived in Ireland safe and sound.
I would highly recommend the German Horse Centre."
Kathie, Athens, USA
"The horses arrived safely today! They are more beautiful than I remembered! Thank you so much for your help, and organization. It made everything go so well.
Sandy and I both enjoyed our horse shopping adventure. We hope to make another trip in the future."

Wünschen Ihnen und Ihrem Team weiterhin viel Erfolg und wir kommen auch gerne auf Sie zurück."
Petra, Deutschland
"Es hat wirklich alles super geklappt und Primera ist ein ganz, ganz liebes und tolles Pferd.
Man muss ja bedenken, dass unsere Tochter erst 10 Jahre alt ist.
Sie sattelt das Pferd alleine auf und wieder ab, 'duscht' es nach dem Reiten ab und selbst ich - als absoluter 'Nichtreiter' - finde Primera echt super."
Penny, Kalifornien, USA
"Checko is doing great. He has the best mind of any horse I have worked with.
He has gone to three shows so far and has gotten a lot of blue ribbons already. At home he is a joy to be around. Nobody can believe he is only five.
Thank you to the German Horse Center team for all their efforts!"

"Liebe Leute vom German Horse Center,
bei der Vermittlung meines neuen Pferdes habt Ihr einen tollen Service geleistet.
Die Zusammenarbeit mit dem German Horse Center war sehr erfreulich Ihr geht auf die Kundenwünsche ein und gebt Euer Möglichstes.
Die Partnerställe waren nett und zuvorkommend, es wurden tolle Pferde in jeder Preislage präsentiert. Jeder Partnerstall war bemüht, die am besten geeigneten Pferde zu präsentieren.
Die vermittelten Hotels waren super. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.
Insgesamt war es eine Tour, die ich gerne empfehlen kann."
Daniela, Kaiserpfalz, Deutschland
"German Horse Center würde ich immer wieder kontaktieren, wenn ich mir ein Pferd kaufe, da die Vermarktung sehr professionell und seriös ist.
Man erhält auch sonst jegliche Unterstützung beim Ausprobieren der Pferde usw. Ich bedanke mich dafür nochmals."
Anfisa, London, UK
" I am so happy that I found this website, it made my life so much easier!
When I decided I want to buy a new horse and I started looking around for a good one I was told it is extremely difficult to find what I needed: a young, well schooled, talented horse, but soft and calm at the same time (I am not very experienced amateur rider).
But to my surprise the German Horse Centre was able to recommend me four horses to fit my requirements! The trip was excellently organised with all horses ready and waiting for me according to Stefan's itinerary. I am also very grateful to all the people who helped me during my trials, their advices were invaluable!
The most difficult part of the process was actually choosing the horse as they all were very good indeed. I chose the beautiful black mare, she has been with me for almost a month now and I am absolutely delighted to have her as my future dressage partner! She is exactly what was said about her on the website. The German Horse Center helped me with a vet report to satisfy my insurance company and they organised the horse transportation company to deliver the horse to UK.
I will highly recommend this company and will definitely use it again in the future."
Gavin, London, UK
"I can honestly say that it was top class service from my first email to the delivery of my horse and the follow up after he was delivered. I have been buying horses for many years and unfortunately the horse buying process is very tricky as most dealers are very dishonest. The German Horse Center is the most amazing source for buying horses in Germany.
After giving Stefan my brief I was sent about six horses to look at. I found two on my first trip and went back a second time to try them both. It was a very difficult decision on which horse to buy. I was hoping one would fail the vet so the decisions were made for me…but unfortunately they both passed so I had to choose!
I will certainly buy more horses from the German Horse Center and will happily talk to anyone who wants more details on how easy the process was."
Kathleen, El Sobrante, Kalifornien, USA
"The German Horse Center is a great resource for knowing you can safely and relatively easily purchase a horse in Germany. You are in good hands from beginning to end, and will have support throughout the entire process.
Also you will see the best horses as they have connections to top sources. The breeding and quality available is excellent, and the prices are fair.
I know many people worry about paying multiple commissions if they go through several steps to find a horse in Europe but with GHC this is definitely not the case, as they offer full disclosure and you really are buying directly from the sources.
It worked beautifully for me. I would recommend them highly and definitely use them again without hesitation." komplettes Feedback lesen, PDF
Mackenzie, Calgary, Kanada
"My trainer Kim and my family went to Germany to find a jumper for me in the summer of 2011. The German Horse Center organized a superb 7 day long tour of different stables to find the perfect match for my riding ability.
However, we found so many suitable horses; we simply couldn’t pick just one!
I am now the proud owner of 3 beautiful horses.
Our tour guide, Stefan, was very helpful, and knowledgeable. We had no stress in organizing our trip at all; the German Horse Center took care of everything! When we purchased the horses, the German Horse Center provided full assistance with organizing the vet checks and arranging their transportation to Canada. I highly recommend using the German Horse Center for finding a sport horse in Germany."
Saskia, Greenfield, USA
"German horse center was exceptional. From the beginning both my grandmother and I felt welcome and prepared. We were met at the airport and were immediately given a folder with the schedule and a list of horses, as well as all the times we would be waking up and all the hotels we would be staying at. It was superbly organized and very well thought out. We were never late and we were always ready to look at a huge selection of horses.
Stefan was an excellent host and so prepared to help us out in any situation. He was patient as we tried horse after horse and also filmed each horse I tried. Over dinner, we would review the horses I had tried out and pick out some that we enjoyed and might want to look at again.
Every horse I rode was of excellent bloodlines, of great caliber and so well trained. The men that were selling the horses all had great skill and were always willing to give me advice on the horses I was riding. I ended up with my excellent new mare, Cosima. She is a five-year-old Westphalian who helps me more than any horse I have ever met. I could not have wished for a better experience or a better horse. I love her so much and I’m excited to cherish every moment together. I endlessly thank German Horse Center for helping me out in my quest to find the perfect jumper.
I will most definitely recommend you to anyone that is looking for a horse, as you are efficient and so prepared to meet anyone’s needs."
News von Saskia, April 2013
"I bought a horse through you named Cosima L a little bit over 1 year ago. I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures to show you her first 1.35 meter class! She has been going great and is now competing in the 7 year old classes with very good results! She is a winner! I have decided to keep her and bring her along, and will be getting a Grand prix horse for myself this summer!"

"Unsere Horse Tour war sehr gut organisiert. Die zur Auswahl stehenden Pferde entsprachen genau unseren Suchkriterien.
Wir konnten in kurzer Zeit viele qualitätsvolle Pferde ausprobieren und wurden überall sehr nett empfangen und fachlich gut beraten.
Auch bei der Hotelsuche hat uns das German Horse Center sehr gut beraten.
Wir haben ein sehr gutes Nachwuchspferd finden können und sind damit sehr glücklich."
Anke, Vellmar, Deutschland
"Vielen Dank für die tolle Unterstützung.
Es hat uns allen sehr viel Spaß gemacht und die drei Tage werden uns allen in guter Erinnerung bleiben.
Mein Pferd Prophan hat sich schon sehr gut eingelebt und wir entdecken jeden Tag ein bisschen mehr von unserer Umgebung.
Alle lieben ihn und ich hoffe, dass ich noch viele schöne Jahre mit ihm erleben werde."
Danielle, Schweizer Trainerin, Polen
"Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Bemühungen und an alle aus Ihrem Team.
Die Reise war super gut organisiert: So viele Pferde in drei Tagen zu sehen und auszuprobieren war eine super Leistung.
Hätte man ja selbst gar nicht in so kurzer Zeit organisieren können. Wer da nicht findet was er sucht,...ich weiß es nicht.
Ich wurde relativ schnell fündig und freue mich auf nächste Woche, wenn die zwei Stuten nach Polen kommen.
Ich werde Sie gerne weiterempfehlen und mich bei der nächsten Pferdesuche selbstverständlich an Sie wenden."
Andrea, Kalifornien, USA
"Looking for a young talented dressage horse was a pleasurable experience with the German Horse Center. It was great to view videos of so many nice quality horses online. I traveled to Germany earlier in the year with a trainer friend that was horse shopping. We didn’t have the luxury of previewing horses before the trip and spent a lot of time driving around.
When I contacted the German Horse Center I knew I was ready to plan a trip based on the number of quality horse videos I previewed. From the first contact Stefan was very professional and great to work with. I can’t say enough good things about his attention to detail and level of professionalism. The personalized itinerary was great. Stefan put together a detailed schedule and we were continually amazed when we arrived at each appointment on time, even with a few tack store stops along the way.
The German Horse Center partners were all wonderful. The horse owners and trainers were all very friendly and helpful and the barns were truly amazing. We enjoyed the accommodations and restaurant recommendations as well. We were lucky enough to find my new horse early in the trip so I was able to vet check her and ride her a few more times while I was still in Germany. We had time to take in a Foal Show and saw a lot of beautiful countryside along the way.
A big thank you to Stefan and the German Horse Center. I look forward to the arrival of Kaiserin and to showing her next year."
Martina und Otto, Prag, Tschechische Republik
"Normally we do not provide testimonials; we believe that we are entitled to a good service and a quality product, after all we are paying for that! In the case of the German Horse Centre however, we are happy to make an exception.
Our whole experience with Tanja and Stefan has been absolutely perfect, way exceeding any reasonable expectations. The whole process, from the moment of the first contact, via arranging the visit in Germany, lining up an excellent selection of horses, testing, providing an independent advisor, to the actual purchase and arranging transport to our stables in the Czech Republic has been very professional, efficient and courteous.
The horse bought has fully lived up to expectations. We have via the German Horse Centre arranged for German trainers, who are flying across on a regular basis to train both our daughters (9 and 12 years). Their progress is excellent.
We have just asked the German Horse Centre to source one more Show Jumping Pony and another high level Show Jumper for us.
We can recommend the German Horse Centre to anybody who is interested in sourcing quality horses in an efficient, professional and ethical way!"
Leo, Hongkong, China
"It is with great pleasure I write this testimonial. The German Horse Center will instrumental in the purchase of my great horse, Passero.
Over a period of six months I researched for the ideal horse and your team was very patient. Furthermore your recommendations and stables you sent me to were very professional and the quality of the horses was very high. I used two comparable services and they were not anywhere close to the quality in service or horses they recommended.
In a very coordinated manner you arranged the agenda and in comparison to other providers your service was exceptional. Finally I did pick my horse and the process to purchase was possible with your help.
Thank you and feel free to offer my details to anyone if they need a reference on your service."

"JN Stud, Indonesia, is very thankful to get the professional assistant from GHC and luckily to have 'Amazing Grace' with lot of talents inside and honest.

Aleksandra, Belgrad, Serbien
"It was a wonderful experience.
Each day was very well organized and enabled us to meet a number of partners, all of whom were very patient and sincere about helping us choose the right horse.
We visited several places and met many really good horses. GHC helped me find a mare that really fits my needs in every way.
I cannot praise highly enough the professionalism and great commitment that German Horse Center demonstrated in helping me find the perfect horse."
Katie, Kentucky, USA
"We recently purchased two horses through the German Horse Center and cannot say enough good things about the entire process. The German Horse Center has created a model of customer service that is exemplary.
We arrived and found several horses that fit our criteria perfectly - so much so that making a decision turned out to be the most difficult part of the experience! The stress often accompanied with international travel was nonexistent as every detail was taken care of by Stefan, including accommodations, transportation, and appointments. As such, we were able to enjoy every part of the process and really focus on the horses. After making our decision, vet checks and importing details were quickly set up.
The professionalism and attention to detail that Stefan and his partners displayed was phenomenal. All the horses we saw lived and trained in top notch facilities where the well-being of the horse was of utmost importance. Riding at these facilities was an absolute treat and pleasure! A million thanks and kudos to the GHC for delivering an unbeatable experience."
Diana, Trainer von Katie, Kentucky, USA
"Our trip to Germany with the German Horse Center was both productive and fun! Stefan was wonderful in planning every detail of our trip. We went to several beautiful places around Germany and the partners' facilities were very impressive!
We were very pleased with the selection of horses and the flexibility of the partners. The partners represented their horses honestly and the quality of the horses was exceptional. We were able to try the horses we liked multiple times and the partners were very accommodating and helpful. We ended up with two wonderful horses, and we can't wait to put them in the show ring this summer!
As a trainer, I thought the German Horse Center has a great program for buying horses, and I'm sure it will continue to grow. I will definitely take every opportunity to work with Stefan and his partners, and I highly recommend them to anyone!"

"Für die Beratung und Betreuung durch das GHC (German Horse Center) kommen mir nur lobende Worte in den Sinn. Ich erfuhr zuerst eine optimale und professionelle Beratung und Betreuung durch Herrn Kreutz. Während meiner Pferdesuche in Deutschland durfte ich diese dann bei jedem von uns besuchten Partner des GHC nochmals erleben. Jeder der Partner gibt sich große Mühe, den Pferden das Beste zu bieten: Wir sahen in keinem Partnerstall des GHC, schlechte Haltungsbedingungen oder einen groben Umgang mit den Pferden. Der vom GHC erstellte Zeitplan funktionierte und in jedem Stall wurden wir herzlich empfangen. Dank dem GHC war meine Pferdesuche sehr entspannt und ich konnte mich auf das wirklich wichtige konzentrieren.
Mittlerweile ist mein Traumpferd in der Schweiz angekommen. Seit dem ersten Tag hält Do it for you alles was uns versprochen wurde. Es ist ein unglaublich wunderbares Pferd und mit seiner charmanten Art der Liebling im Stall. Im Umgang und unter dem Sattel ist er absolut top und macht jeden Tag viel Freude, ich hätte es nicht besser treffen können.
Ich danke Herrn Kreutz, dem GHC und dem Zuchthof Klatte für die Vermittlung von Do it for you."
Dominique, Zürich, Schweiz
"Die Prinzessin Rascavelle (das Pferd) ist gut angekommen und hat sich gut eingelebt!
Ich habe wirklich die richtige Wahl getroffen, ich habe sehr viel Freude an ihr und habe den Aufenthalt und die Begleitung durch German Horse Center sehr genossen!"
Irene, Zug, Schweiz
"Wir sind vom "rund um" Dienstleistungsangebot des German Horse Centers beeindruckt.
Sie haben eine professionelle Vorabklärung der gewünschten Spezifikationen gemacht, den Besuch bei verschiedenen und auserwählten Züchtern organisiert und terminiert.
Unsere Tochter hat so ihr Traumpferd gefunden. Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung."
Mary, Irland
"I found the German Horse Center a pleasure to deal with. Our itinerary was well laid out and we found our yards without difficulty. Everywhere we were met with courtesy and efficiency. The yard where our mare was stabled was so helpful and professional that we were delighted to do business with it. The mare is exactly as we were told she would be. It was a very positive experience."
Kaitlin, USA
"... the professionalism, cleanliness and wonderful care for the horses at the German Horse Center was absolutely amazing. Jens took us to many amazing farms and showed us many amazing horses we never could have seen in such short amount of time and proximity in the States. Being as this was my first time making a horse purchase in Europe, I couldn’t have been in better hands. I immediately felt comfortable with Jens and everyone at the farm after meeting them.
All of us clients had different requirements of what we wanted in our "Fancy Hunters", especially myself. I had set in stone requirements actually. The horse needed to be no older than 6, no smaller than 16.1hh, a fancy mover, a jaw-dropping jumper and of course all in a set budget. The second I saw my now, new baby walk into the ring I knew he was the one. After being home with me in the states for 3 months now, he has transformed into an even more remarkable horse that I saw back in September. I knew I was buying an extraordinary horse with an amazing pedigree, but he has absolutely exceeded all expectations. He is so smart, so sweet and so breath taking. I am looking forward to this summers show season and growing as a team. When we are both ready, he will be the 3’ 6’’ hunter I’ve always wanted. I plan on continuing my business with Jens and everyone at the German Horse Center for my future horse purchases. For our first experience, it was an unforgettable one to say the least. I cannot thank you all enough for everything you did for us and for finding me the horse of my dreams."
Nicole, Schweiz
"Die freundliche, persönliche Betreuung durch Tanja und Stefan, die perfekte, kundenorientierte Organisation und die Zusammenarbeit mit vertrauenswürdigen Partnern machen für mich das Erfolgsrezept von GHC aus.
In nur einem Tag konnte ich mehrere Pferde sehen, die meinen Vorstellungen entsprochen haben. Darunter auch das Pferd, das nun seit August in meinem Stall steht und mir jeden Tag viel Freude bereitet. Wenn ich wieder auf der Suche nach einem Pferd bin, geht mein erster Anruf an das Team von German Horse Center."
Regina, Biel Bienne, Schweiz
"Der dreieinhalbjährige Wallach ist wohlbehalten in der Schweiz eingetroffen.
Wir freuen uns alle sehr über das tolle Pferd.
Ich möchte es nicht versäumen, Ihnen nochmals zu sagen, dass mich das Konzept von German Horse Center sehr überzeugt und ich Sie gerne weiterempfehle.
Auch die Treffen mit Ihren Partnern gestalteten sich angenehm und unkompliziert."
Roberto, Trainer, Orlando, Florida, USA
First of all I would like to thank Britta (von German Horse Center), because she was the one that helped me from the beginning.
Finding a jumper horse is not easy. I saw many horses and visited many barns in my visit to Germany. But when I got to see the horses that German Horse Center offered to many I was very pleased with the quality of horses that they offered me and the difference was clear with other places.
After trying few horses I was able to tell which one was for me and now he (der Wallach Chelzy, den Roberto erworben hat) is here in Orlando, FL enjoying this beautiful weather. We are going to work hard so we can show his quality in the show grounds in Florida and I expect we can win many blue ribbons. I definitely recommend German Horse Center.
Katie, Calgary, Kanada
"After fruitless searches for a show jumping horse capable to jump 1.40 m in North America, my trainer suggested we consider looking for a horse in Germany. (…) My mother checked out possible sources, found and contacted the German Horse Center on-line. She was immediately impressed with their professionalism and ease to view all their listed horses. For me, the best part were the videos, as we all could watch each horse in action which helped us select a number of horses to put on our 'to check out' list.
Stefan Kreutz of the German Horse Center responded quickly and was most helpful. He provided us with an itinerary to visit our selected horses for our planned August 2010 trip.
When we arrived in Germany, we visited 5 stables in two just days. When we were at Sportpferde Jens Baackmann, Jens introduced us to Argentina AS, a beautiful 10 year old mare Westfalian, who wasn’t even on our list. Jens commented - 'I have the perfect horse for you, Katie'…Argentina is calm, very well mannered, superbly trained and has competed in her upper show jumping class, the 1.45 m course. My trainer rode her and whole heartedly agreed! After I rode her, I immediately loved her. I had found my perfect horse…!
The whole experience was simply wonderful, we had a great family European holiday, saw and rode many very good show jumpers, but the best part was that I found my perfect Argentina…!
Thank you very much Stefan, Jens and the German Horse Center."
Anna, Niedersachsen, Deutschland
"Durch Zufall bin ich, bei meiner Suche nach einem Nachwuchsspringpferd, auf die Seite von German Horse Center gestoßen und war gleich von der Idee, dem Konzept und der Präsentation der Verkaufspferde begeistert. Nach einer ersten Kontaktaufnahme per E-Mail, wurde ich ausführlich am Telefon über die Pferde informiert und bekam eine perfekt ausgearbeitete Tour zum Ausprobieren meiner favorisierten Pferde an die Hand. Bereits 4 Tage nach der ersten Kontaktaufnahme machte ich mich auf den Weg, die Pferde auszuprobieren.
Nach einem langen und aufregenden Tag, an dem ich viele tolle Pferde geritten und zahlreiche sympathische Menschen kennengelernt hatte, war ich mir sicher, das richtige Pferd für mich gefunden zu haben! Dieser erste Eindruck bestätigt sich nun Tag für Tag. Wir haben unheimlich viel Spaß zusammen, lernen mit- und voneinander und auch unser erstes gemeinsames Turnier war gleich ein voller Erfolg. Auf diesem Weg möchte ich mich noch einmal ganz herzlich bei Herrn Kreutz und seinem Team, für ihre tolle Unterstützung bei der Pferdesuche bedanken!"
Claudia, Feldmeilen, Schweiz
"…ich möchte es nicht versäumen, Ihnen ganz herzlich für die gute Betreuung und professionelle Vermittlung zu danken.
Mit ihrer höflichen und freundlichen Art ist es Ihnen hervorragend gelungen, ein vertrauensvolles Verhältnis zwischen uns als Kunden und Ihrem Partnerstall aufzubauen. Dies ist umso wichtiger, als dass der Kauf eines Pferdes sowohl vom Verstand als auch vom Herzen geleitet wird.
Mit Ihrer Unterstützung habe ich das ideale Pferd für meine Tochter und mich finden können. Ganz herzlichen Dank dafür! Ich hoffe, Sie werden noch weitere Kunden wie uns zufriedenstellen können. Viel Erfolg bei Ihren zukünftigen Unternehmungen."
Shadi, Dubai
"I stumbled across the German Horse center while surfing the net dreaming about finding a horse for me and my wife. We sent a message, honestly, not expecting a reply. Oh, a reply, we did get, a very honest and sincere reply.
It was this sincerity and transparency that made me decide to make the trip to Germany to find a horse. My trip to Germany was wonderful. I met such great people and made true friendships. The horses were also outstanding. Up to the last moment, I was still confused between three excellent horses as they met my requirements even possibly exceeding them.
All through the buying and shipping procedure the German Horse Center was right by our side. When the horse reached Dubai, Stefan (Director of German Horse Center) came to Dubai for a visit and we had a great time. We also used the German Horse Center to select a trainer to visit us here in Dubai to facilitate the transition for the horse from Germany.
All in all, our experience with German Horse Center has been extraordinary. We have a wonderful horse! We made great friendships and we ,honestly, feel as part of the extended German Horse Center's family!
Most Sincerely, Shadi Hassan, the proud owner of Cozumel (Most loved Horse in The World)!"
Désirée und Cornelia, Schweiz
"Just wanted to say thanks a lot for helping us find the super top jumper Sambucco and the lovely mare Gianna :) we are really enjoying her, she brings joy to us every day!!
We are very happy to have come across your website, and would recommend it to everyone. We were very surprised how well organized everything is and would definitely come back to buy our next horse with you!!! Keep up the great work; I’m sure a lot of people will find their perfect horse with you! Hopefully see you soon, Désirée and Cornelia"
Diese Nachricht erreichte uns von Désirée im Dezember 2010. Wir wünschen ihr und Sambucco viel Erfolg für 2011: "Here a little update on how Sambucco and I got on in November: in the M1 we were always placed, such as 2nd, 4th, 8th. I'm very happy with him he is such a star :) now I will be going to Malta for 1 month so he will have a bit of a jumping break. In February we will start jumping him again, and in March we are off to Arrezzo for 4 weeks for shows! After that I will always be on tour with him, so hopefully will get great results and of course will let you know how I got on :) I'm so excited!"
Kim, Trainerin von Pam, Calgary, Kanada
"Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the horse we purchased with your help! She is fantastic and exactly what she was sold to us as, no surprises when we got her home! Our trip to Germany exceeded my expectations by far, the effort you put forward co-ordinating everything was amazing; we traveled all across Germany, visited many top show barns, rode many incredible horses and met so many great people. The country side is beautiful, we stayed in some castles and you even organized time for dinner with friends, a trip to a great tack store and a visit to the infamous Christmas Market!
While still in Germany we were even able to be present at our horse’s vet check; and by the way our vet clinic here was very impressed with the quality and professionalism of the x-rays. I will return to Germany and use your services in an instant, it was well worth the trip and the cost!"
Pam, Calgary, Kanada
"My trainer and I went to Germany in December 2009 to look for an amateur hunter with the help of the German Horse Center. The German Horse Center provided a very organized and efficient two day tour of six stables where we saw several suitable horses of high quality.
Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful and our accommodations were comfortable and quiet. When we purchased a horse, the German Horse Center also provided extensive follow-up assistance with the vet check and transportation arrangements. I highly recommend the German Horse Center to anyone searching for a sport horse in Germany."
Regina, Bern, Schweiz
"Mit toller Unterstützung und Service, wurde ich begleitet und habe mein Pferd gefunden. Die ganze Arbeit mit German Horse Center hat mich sehr beeindruckt, und ich würde es wieder so wählen!"
Gabriela, Innsbruck, Österreich
"… es freut uns wirklich, dass wir durch Zufall Eure Seite gefunden haben. Es war super organisiert. Wir hätten uns sicher 1 Jahr an Ausprobieren sparen können. Ganz sicher werden wir Euch an unsere Freunde weitervermitteln."
Thomas, Stuttgart, Deutschland
"Auf der Suche nach einem Pferd hatten wir den Glauben an eine professionelle Unterstützung bei der qualifizierten Suche und Vorauswahl möglicher Kandidaten schon begraben, als wir Ihren Service in Anspruch genommen haben. Da wir selbst in der Dienstleistung tätig sind, können wir Ihre Leistung einschätzen, und freuen uns bei Ihnen diesen "Rund-um-Service" gefunden zu haben und eine rundum gelungene Begleitung bei der Auswahl unseres Pferdes.
Vor allem stand dabei unsere Wunschvorstellung zur altersgemäßen professionellen Ausbildung und zum Pferdetyp im Vordergrund, jedoch ging Ihr Service soweit, dass wir rundum eine gelassene und erfolgreiche "Einkaufs"-Tour unternehmen konnten. Viel Erfolg für die Zukunft."
Das Redaktionsteam des norwegischen Pferdefachmagazins "Hesteliv" testete den Personal Guide Service und die Verkaufspferde
"We would like to thank you for the fantastic service you provided during the horse tour that you presented to us on 6-7 July. The horses we met were all very calm, confident and well trained, just as we were hoping for.
It was also very impressive to see that your partners were great horsemen, with the horses’ wellbeing always in focus. We would like to wish you the best for your business in the future.
Thank you also for your overwhelming service throughout the whole trip. The fact that everything was organized perfectly by you gave us the unique possibility to concentrate on the horses.
All the best, Morten Wasmuth, Malene Nilssen and Therese Alhaug"
Gustavo, Trainer, Florida, USA
"Alfred and Lucky are doing great (the horses that were bought). (…) I think the personal guide service you provided was excellent. Very detailed and very organized.
I think it's the best way to buy horses in Germany. Everything was very easy. The stables that you represent all have great quality horses. I had a very good time and I hope to be back soon."
