As the owner of 3 Top Horses, I can’t say enough positive things about the process of selecting, vetting, purchasing and riding these wonderful horses. They arrived in the US from Holland with talent and have continued to develop into amazing athletes. As an Amateur rider who does most of my training on my own except at shows and occasional lessons, I needed Top Performing Young Horses that were safe and sane and sound. I relied on the experience and relationship I have with Helene Jones to help me find 3 Amazing Horses. I got most of them as 5/6yo’s. As young horses, I felt they were all started properly. Good basic dressage/flat work. Knowledge of balance and lead changes. Jumping course and jumping a few big ones to show their scope and willingness. Some experience in the show ring. Frankly, I could not find these attributes in young horses in the US at the price I was willing to spend. They were probably 1/2 of what a similar horse in the US costs and that included vetting, import, and everything. The horses arrived with full vetting and xrays. I felt confident in my purchases that if the horse was not the fit for me, I could easily sell him and recoup my investment. I love riding, training and showing everyone one of my Top Horses. I get so many compliments about them that it is all-around fun. Which is what it’s all about. Winning, Fun and Loving these Amazing Animals.
I cannot say enough about Helene Jones and Top Horse LLC. From our first communication to the present day she has been open honest and wonderful to work with. I now have an amazing horse with abilities beyond my expectations. It was also important to me that my horse be an ‘in my pocket guy’ again my expectations have been surpassed. I am totally in love. I never considered importing a horse until I came across Top Horse LLC. I looked at hundreds of horses posts and nothing could come close to what I was seeing on her site and in her posts, so I took a leap of faith! During transport a medical issue for the pilot took my horse to Canada and Helene and her team were on top of it! Giving me updates and sending me pictures to assure me that my Gordon was well cared for in his delay. I was so excited when he showed up at my farm, 10:00 pm, in the dark, with my very big dogs checking him out…he walked through my electric gate which he had never been exposed to, up my long driveway, into my barn and looked at me saying hello! And yes he had me from hello! Go ahead, take the leap, you’ll be glad you did!
