  • The most VERSATILE, willing, biddable boy you’ll ever sit on. Everyone comments on his looks.
  • Suitable for anyone who’d like to own a truly amazing, safe, vice free, healthy and non precious, straightforward fun giver of a horse

He's 1 million percent genuine, as am I and he would not be being sold if I was not giving up horses.

Hunted last 3 seasons with me, hacks beautifully, forward stride on own or with others, mannerly while you open gates etc.

He's taking you every time to a jump, careful over them, safe reliable sane, looks quality, amazing elevated canter, unbeatable for dressage.

He needs no leg, he truly loves his work, but a dope on rope to handle.

You always return from clinics, beach riding, beach, riding holidays and hunting, proud of him and happy.

Other people worry about what their horse will do in certain situations.  I never do!  He's a stress free own. That's the real reason he's a needle in haystack to find.

I would like him to go to a dressage home if I'm picking an ideal, as this last few months he's proved exceptionally talented at it...

Whether it's beach, xc, fun rides, hacking in new places for hours, jumping pole or dressage clinics, riding holidays, turning him out with any other unknown horses he never fails to be completely trouble free.

Shoeing, clipping, in the stable and catching, he's a dream to own.

He is much loved and wanted and will only go with someone I'm convinced will love him as I have.

He is beautifully schooled and with a proper rider on could easily quality for HOYS, RI and anything else you choose to do with him, he does!

A true one in a million to find, he will come with all his belongings including his new Butet Sellier £5000 saddle, but the price as he's priceless, is the price please.  Only 5* special loving homes need apply, who can keep this unique horse in the style he's been accustomed to with me.

  • Got a Hoys ID number
  • He's quality to show
  • Dressage we've just started, he's willing and learns quickly, first show came 1st 10% above 2nd place

Richard & Daisy Trayford have been been producing horses together for over two decades - in the UK & USA(Exmoor Eventing) and in Ireland where we live. We are now assisting international buyers during their search for quality Irish horses.

More & more buyers and sellers are doing business online - having us, based in the centre of Ireland, gives buyers a speedy and cost effective way of getting to a prospect quickly.

We charge a flat fee ie no commission is taken from either the buyer or seller. We simply represent the buyer who may not be able to try the horse themselves due to work/time/travel constraints.
Our clients get a great service from us for a very modest fee - €200 covers us visiting a yard (no extra if we see multiple horses at one location!) - we take extensive video, try the horse(s) and complete a detailed, unbiased report, which is sent to the potential buyer. We can attend a vetting as well if the client choses.

Our mission is to take any perceived risk out of horse shopping online!

Once the client receives satisfactory feedback on a horse or horses they are welcome to either proceed to an offer -we can even do that on their behalf if they prefer -and/or visit the horse themselves.

Daisy Trayford is a well known 4* competitor on the Eventing circuit in the UK, USA and Ireland. She takes pride in sourcing and producing Eventers and has had horses go on to 5* careers in the UK, USA and Ireland - she also coached Madonna for 6 years! Richard has run Eventing Competitions to FEI 4* level in the USA and they have hunted with over 50 hunts together - they even competed in the famous Golden Button race twice! Together, they have helped clients in three continents find great horses.

So, have a look online, or call around and when you find something that you like the sound of, let us know and we can get there right away - if you need help finding candidates we can help with that too!

Happy hunting

A horse with a huge amount of presence, lovely temperament and quality.

Bought over from Ireland are a 2yo, Elvis was backed early this year and has been very quietly bought on throughout the year with a number of breaks. That he has been ridden once a week during the course of this year will tell you about his train-ability and attitude to life and ridden work.

Elvis has done a small number of successful outings:

* 1 x dressage outing coming home with a rossette
* 2 x county shows - Champion at Anglesea show and 3rd at the other.
* 1 x small XC schooling proving brave.

He is a very smart, correct upstanding horse. Not over-produced or worked and ready to go on. He will excel whatever direction he takes.

A lovely, easy character to have around.
